Lighted His Cigar with Ice.

Recently a prominent lawyer arrived
in Washington for a consultation regard
ing some patent cases. During the con-
versation q match to light a cigar was
lacking, and the Washingtonian re-
marked that piece of ice would do just
as well. The lawyer laughed and was
incredulous and a wager was made. The
Washingtonian took piece of clear ice
about an inch thick from the water
cooler, whitfield it into the shape of a
disk. and with the palms of his hand
melted its two sides convex, thus giving
the form of a double convex lens or burn
ing glass. With it he focused the sun s
rays on the end Of his cigar and lastly
set it on fre.-Albany Journal.

Germs of, This Disease Can't Live Five
Minutes in Smokers Mouth.
Defenders of tobacco smoking fail TO
make use1fofrrthe most powerful argu-
ments in its favor Hitherto the most
that has been claimed in favor of smok-
ing was certain subtle, beneficial eff
feet on the digestion and a soothing eff
feet on the nerves.
It has been learned recently, from the
report of Investigations of the effects of
tobacco during the epidemic of cholera
at Hamburg, that cholera microbes
could not exist in the mouths of smokers.
There were no living bacteria after
twenty-four hours in cigars made up
with water containing /, 10000 cholera
germs to the cubic inch. There were no
traces of microbes to be found in any of
the cigars manufactured at Hamburg in
the time of the epidemic. The microbes
die in a half to two hours exposure to
smoke of Brazil Sumatra or Havana
tobacco. The smoke of any cigar kills
the microbes. Experiments show that
in five minutes after beginning to smoke
the microbes in the mouth are killed
Another fact esta blished is that none of
the persons employed in the tobacco fac
tories at Hamburg contracted cholera

Sea Island Cotton in Florida.

The Tampa Times contends that "a
large section of the Florida orange belt
must find a substitute for that fruit as
a main crop" and it urges the cultiva-
ton of other products. Of sea island
cotton it says: "Unless the testimony of
the old settlers is to be wholly discred-
tied, a time was, before the culture of
oranges took its place, when long staple
cotton was q profitable crop in this sec
ton of Florida. A good deal has been
raised this year in some adjacent coun-
ties, and the experience of it's producers
should be carefully considered. If it's
cultivation can be made profitable, it
should be engaged in sufficiently to JUS
tify the erection of gins and the estab-
lishment of regular houses to buy and
handle it.-Jacksonville Citizen.

OSMAN PASHA IN THE KITCHEN.
The Hero of Plevna Now Employed TO
Seal Up Abdul Hamid's Food.

During the turbulent times that have
come upon Turkey in recent months,
there have been many inquiries among
of Plevna. What was he doing? What
would be his place in case of domestic or
foreign war? How were his talents be-
ing utilized to keep the shaky fabric
of Turkish empire together? These
questions were asked, but they were
asked in vain until three weeks ago a
German correspondent found that Abdul
Hamid had promoted this lion of the
field to his own palatial kitchen. Os-
man was, and is, the ''sealer of the i'm
perial food
When all the dishes have been pre-
pared for the Sultan, the hero of Pleyna
proceeds to the kitchen, the correspond
ent says, and seals them up, to prevent
any possibility of their being poisoned.
The seals are kept intact until the dishes
reach the table, where they are broken
under the Sultan's own eyes.

WOMEN AS PILE DRIVERS.
Do This Heavy Labor in Maypole
Fashion.

In Japan and China women drive piles
for houses and bridges. Their method
is interesting. Attached to the hammer
block are twenty-seven ropes, carried up
to the top of the frame and down on
the outside, looking very much like the
old-fashioned Maypole.
Twenty-seven women hold the ends,
and with a sing-song, all together, pull
down; up the rod, four feet, travels the
hammer; then, at a scream, all let go,
and down it comes on top of the pile,
which is unprotected by q band or ring.
The women are paid 20 cents in gold a
day. This Maypole driver is in general
use throughout Japan and China.

Relies ofthe Crusaders.

Some surprising things were found in
the booty captured from the Dervishes
by the British at Dongola. Among them
were a few coats of mail and helmets,
which evidently date from the days Of
the Crusaders. A sword which was
found had an inscription in old french.
Another sword bore the motto, ''Honi

also a number of double-barreled sporting
guns, and one rifle of immense caiber,
firing 1-pound ball and requiring two
men to hold it.
