sense enough, and sufficient lack
of decency to make them indulge
it. to slobber over those they want
something or and cast contempt

!: -nslaA-AsaG:llsdI. was startled last Sat

'a'a-aas = = vas started lasL pa
urday by the shocking news that
the Empress Elizabeth, consort of
Emperor Francis Joseph, Austria,
had been assassinated by an Ital-
ian anarchist on that day. The
murder was a most brutal one,
the mailman unawares plunging a
stiletto over the woman S left
breast. It was no political act.
The empress was neutral in all
policies affecting the kingdom and
was noted for her benevolence and
was exceedingly popular. At the
awful time she was travelling incog
for the benefit of her health. How
to dispose of this agency that
strikes unprovoked is indeed puz-
zling, a problem that has failed
solution. A bigger menace to the
safety of the world never con-
fronted the people. This latest
premedltated act will not assist
the red-handed cause. 1t neither
strengthens the foundation of So
cialism nor weakens the neucles
of Imperialism. The Emperor
Joseph has indeed been most un-
fortunate, and now in his sixty
eighth year, it is probable that he
will hardly survive the shock. His
favorite brother Maximilian, the
emperor, met with a tragic death
not many years since, and the ap-
parent murder of his son is yet
fresh to the mind; and scarcely a
year ago in the charity bazaar fire
at Paris his sister-in-law, (sister
of the dead empress) was burn
ed to death.

HOW TO ENJOY A CIGAR.
But Few Men Ever ret the Best Re.
suits from "a Smoke.

Personal observation has taught
me-" said a Cuban cigar dealer to %
Star reporter that not one person In q
hundred knows how to smoke n cigar
to enjoy 1t thoroughly. For instance,
most men, after buying their cigars,
stick them between their teeth and
gnaw the ends off recklessly, thereby
tearing and loosening the wrapper.
Then they light their cigars and puff
away as If their very lives depended
upon finishing them in a hurry. Thus
treated the finest CT, ~ WI" ',urn irTcg-
ularly and the smoker will. nine times
out of ten, lay the bla ne on the cigar.
cases the fault lies In the way ii has
been handled.
After cigar has been bought, the
end should be cut smoothly off by a
clipper or sharp knife. The reverse end
should then be placed in the mouth and
the cigar blown through. This re-
moves all the little particles Of dust
which cannot be avoided III the manu-.
facture, and prevents them from being
inhaled into the throat, and from pro-
ducing coughing. The cigar should
then be lighted, and particular atten-
ton should be paid 10 its being thor
oughly ignited all over the surf" &c Of
the end. Then, instead of putting away
like a steam engine, the smoker will
find that three or four puffs every min
ute make the best way 10 enjoy the
cigar. The smoke should be kept in the
mouth a short time in order 10 appre-
cate the flavor of the tobacco. Then ii
should be emitted slowly.
in ease one side Of the cigar should
burn and leave a ragged edge on the
other side, it is not necessary TO relight
1t, as | often see many people do. A
gentle blow through the cigar toward
The lighted end will ignite the ragged
side, and 1t will burn regularly. Smok-
Ing this way Is a pleasure. 1t frets
me to see a man smoking n cigar who
does not know how to enjoy It, and 1
often feel like giving him n few words
of advice, and would do so were II not
for the fear of offending him."-Wash-
ingtou Star.

Popularity of : oldiers.

There is no record so conducive to
popularity as military record. The
heroic always appeals to the general
heart, and especially so obvious and
dramatic an expression of it IS the ca
reer of successful soldier.
The American people, though they
have been devoted to the arts of peace
rather than to the arts of war, have
ever reserved the chief place in their
regard for their foremost defenders.
They have never engaged in a conflict
of any magnitude without making Il
leading general of 1t their President,
They made George Washington Presi-
dent because of what he did in the rev
olution. They made Andrew Jackson
President because of the first Seminole
war and his victory at New Orleans.
They made William Henry Harrison
President because of Tippecanoe and
his services in the war of 1912 as com
mander of the army of the northwest.
They made Zachary Taylor President
because of Buena Vista, where he van
ouished Santa Anna, though Outnum-
bered four TO one. They nominated
Winfield Scott as a candidate because
of his eminence as a soldier, and though
defeated, his defeat was cOmpaSsed by
Franklin Pierce, who had served in the
Mexican war as general officer. They
made Ulysses s. Grant President be-
cause he crushed the rebellion. 1t is
said that William Tecumseh Sherman

wouidu't Touch 1t with Pitchfor
Facts About Alcohol.

Scientific investigators in Germany
and Russia recently have been conduct
ing an inquiry respecting alcohol in its
relation to dietetics. They have oh
tanned data which seem to point to the
very surprising conclusion that alcohol
is actually n food, Notwithstanding tho
belief which has long existed to the
contrary. Both men and women were
employed in these experiments, doses
of alcohol sufficient TO induce slight IN
toxicatiou being given to them. II "a
found that alcohol takes the place ~
fat as a fuel. furnishing heat for tie
hody. In small quantities ii increas 7s
the appetite and helps digestion. But Il
oyerstimulates the action of the heart,
and decreases the power of the man to
do work. 1t dimlnishes the requirement
of food by Iessening waste of tissue.

Strange Vessel.

A rock and fish saved the good ship
Nelson from sinking. The Nelson is al
English vessel which recently arrived
at Wellington, New Zealand after 81
days passage from Liverpool. When
off the New Zealand coast she encoun-
tered heavy gales and was driven on a
rock. She Immediately got off, but wa
ter began to rise in her hold despite the
crews exertions at the pumps. After
great difficulty the vessel entered Wei
lington harbor and extra pumps were
brought into play. Still the water rose
and the captain and crew removed
their belongings to land in expectation
that the Nelson would sink. Fortu-
nately their fears were not realized, fol-
with better working of the pumps the
rush of water was finally overcome.
The vessel was subsequently exam
ined by diver. In his report he stated
that in one of the holes piece of rock
was damned and in another fish was
squeezed tail first, and both were re-
spOnsible for preventing the water
flowing in to a greater extent.-Phila-
delphia Record.
