THEY SMOKED BIRD SEED.

Because of Il little mistake of his wifes
well-known uptown lawyer, who mas
long prided himself upon his delicate taste
in the matter of smoking tobacco, feels
several sizes too small to fill his own
clothes just ut present. 1t was one of his
hobbies to keep his choicest brands in an
old cigar box, bcsprinkled with good
brandy to keep the tobacco moist and to
improve the flavor.
Not long ago the lawyer invited three
old cronies to visit his house and while
away an evening with the company Of
their pipes. In honor OF the occasion,
the host produced his finest tobacco and
invited his friends to help themselves.
The pipes were lighted. and with the first
puifs of smoke came an odor too horrible
to be described The wife of the distin.
guished member of the bar, who had been
upstairs, instituted a search for uining
rags in the course of which she entered
the room where the smoking was in pro-
gress.
"Do you smell that terrible stench?''
she asked, addressing her husband.
Yes" answered the chorus of three
whitehead visitors, laying aside their
pipes. But her spouse smoked calmly on
in evident enjoyment, and suggested that,
although he didn't smell anything I'M
usual, perhaps the cook was burning fat
in the kitchen range. 1t was not long,
however, before the odor was traced to
the tobacco smoked by the host and his
three guests.
'Did you get that tobacco out of the
cigar box on the library table, asked the
lawyers wife.
''Yes.n
"Well that's too bad. | thought that
box was empty, and I've been throwing
waste birdseed in there every time clean
Bobby's cage. Maybe that's what smells
so unplcasant.n
And the laugh was on the lawyer-the
connoisseur, who had smoked half Il pipe
full without discovering that anything
was wrong. Philadelphia Record.

The result of recent analyses show that
the loss of weight suffered by coal from
exposure to the weather lis considerable
In some cases it reached 330S per cent,
while the deterioration in quality for pur.
pose of fuel or gas-making reached still
higher figure.
Vesuvius isl an interesting sight just
now. One stream of lava flowing down
from the center is 100 feet wide and from
to II feet deep, while a hundred other
smaller streams are running down the
cave and big column of black smoke
rises into the sky.
Photography has lately, determined the
depths to which the suns rays can pene-
traue through water. and the result is
that at depth of 533 feet, the darkness
was about equal to an exposure on Il clear
but moonless night. The exposed plates
ut this depth gave no evidence of light

"When the body is in Il state OF fatigue,

the saliva isdeficient in quantity, and the
whole digestive apparatus is incapable of

night. When white light of one-candle
power was Visible ut one mile, one of
three-candle power was visible ut two
miles, and of nineteen candle power at

and Nicolini had just left their hotel for
an airing, when Albani, seeing them
pass under their window, called to her

better leave our cards at once at their
rooms.n
On returning home Patti found the
cards and later on, when Nine Albani

DOGS AS CADDIEs.
y Collie and Terrier That Were Useful
on the Golf Links.

Maj. Lindsay, Il member of the London
and Scottish Golf club, once owned a
collie that was an efficient fore caddie.
He would serve the major with almost
the intelligence of a human being. While
playing around the collie would precede
the major, and promptly locate the ball,
standing over it until his owner was
ready for the next stroke. When accom-
panying the major on his duty, the collie
would not move or lift the ball. refrain
ing as carefully from touching it as
though he knew the penalty.
At other times the collie would re,
trieve the golf balls in splendid style
The major was very proud of the dog
and it was his custom each day to exer-
else both his skill in driving and the
dogs keenness to send a dozen balls in
turn fl ON the tee. The dog would sit
gravely by the tee, seemingly marking
the flight of each gutta percha sphere
At the word of command, after the major
had given wide. mouthed canvass bag tc
him to carry the collie would 20 after the
balls. The dog would leave the bag in II
central spot, and then retrieve the balls,
! dropping each into the receptacle When
| all had been gathered up, the collie would
trot with the bag to his master.
James Swan, the superintendent at the
St. Andrews Golf Club, once owned an
Irish terrier that at the word would go
into swamp or piece of woodlands in
search of lost ball and invariably re-
turn with it TO its owner. With dogs
able to search for balls and find them
quickly -the next development would
seem to be to teach them TO carry the club
bag. Perhaps the golfer of the future
may have his clubs borne along strapped
to large mastiff, st. Bernard Great
Dane or Newfoundland, while ahead of
him, as for caddie, will range an English
retriever, game dog or II friskey terrier
That dogs will retrieve golf balls is estab-
lished, and canine education may bring
| about the further development of their
| ability as caddies.-New York sun.
