MUST SMOKE PIPES NOW.
Because the Famine in Hn~nna To-
baccO HAS at LaKt Become
Reality.

The much-talked-of and long-ex-
pected tobacco famine is here. Before
the war with Spain began the air was
filed with prophecies of such famine.
The Cuban rebellion was on, but still
there was genuine Cuban tobacco to
be had. AS the rebellion dragged
along stories were heard about the
price of tobacco going up and the
quality going down. But Havana to-
bacco was still to be had for price.
A New York correspondent of the
Washington Star says the importers
knew all about this some time ago, but
it fell upon the smokers unawares. 1t
has even reached the clubs which were
supposed to be plentifully supplied
with the fragrant weed. 1t has devei
oped that the stock of Havana cigars
is almost exhausted and that the inn
porters are holding on to the remain.
der with death grip. The supply is to
be apportioned so that it may last as
long as possible, and for that reason
the sales of box lots are almost entire
ly prohibited. One OF the largest clubs
in the city, club that year ago
bought over 10000 Havana cigars
from single importing house in the
city, is almost'iu sight of its last cigar.
1t had laid in such heavy stock over
the winter that it was willing to sell
TO members in any quantity for almost
any price, and now il will not sell box
at any price. The most that smoker
can get is a handful.

Some folks, said the middle-aged
man, spread stocking over their fin

people use q form of some sort to
stretch the stocking over. remember
seeing an orange used for this purpose

a sort of brown or gruy and as hard

New York Sun.
Gourds. I suppose. must be quite
largely used for darning purposes.

Did Not E.,.t oalcially,

A strange discovery was recently
made by clerk living at Belleville,
says the London Telegraph. He went
to the mayors office in order to get
a certificate of his birth, but found to
his surprise that his name was not en-
tered on the registers. His father was
too busy or preoccupied to have him
duly inscribed on the district books, so
that the clerk had practically no off,
cial existence, being without what is
called an "etat civil" AS his parents
were dead, the young man had to u.s.
semble his brothers and sisters, 13 In

official that he was their real and law
full brother. After that he obtained
his certificate, and left the town hall

Cali Mistress by Hsr First Name.

1t is said that the native servants in
Hawaii used TO call their mistresses by
their first names. An Englishwoman
of strong will determined on her ar
rival in Honolulu that her servants
should never call her Mary. One day
when she had visitors her cook put his
head in at the drawing-room door and
politely inquired; what vegetables
for dinner to-day, my love?" He had
heard her called that, and seemed
proud of remembering not to say
Mary.

air can watch every movement of the adj
versary through glass, will be safe from
danger and talk at the same time to the
general in command of the army in the field
below.
The services of the signal corps were
utilized by the generals Of the late war and
by their means almost every important
movement and battle was guided. All of the
old war horses used the code for sending in
formation, while the Confederates also en-
ployed a system of signals and code of their
own. When Sheridan campaigning in
the valley Early found that Howard Sher-
ldan's signal OFFICER, was reading the rebel
signals sent. SO he had decoy dispatch
forwarded to himself, intending that How
ard should intercept it. 1t read:
Lieut.. Gen. Early. Fishers Hill:
BE ready to advance on Sheridan as soon
as my forces get up. and we can crush him
before ne finds out have join s1S y Q a;
When Sheridan was told of this dispatch
he at once wired it to Washington. and it
was also telegraphed to Grant. 1t was some
time before Sheridan found out that Long
street was not in that part of the country
and the whole thing clever ruse.
The idea of the signal corps as it Is used
to-day in this and other countries originated
in the brain Of Gen. Albert ]. Myer, a native
Of New York, and an expert telegrapher. In
1901 his attention was called to the clumsy
and complex method of military signaling
as then employed, and it was when serving
in New Mexico that he observed the CO.
manche Indians making signals from the
hills by the waving of their lances, hence
was induced to reduce the army signals to a
simple code which would put all parts of the
army in communication By constant atten-
ton from Myer, the thing grew from an un-
important branch to what is now regarded
as one of the most useful means of watch
ing the enemy, and the work once done by
cavalry is performed more rapidly ana more
effectively by the corps of to-day Instead
of a solitary scout we have now hundreds of
men with telegraphs, and telephones, flags,
photographs. and balloons, SO that the enemy
and the general can talk, even when on the
march, to all parts of his forces.
