GENUINELY HARD. UP.

Out of Three Hundred Accepting Free
Beds Only Five Had "the Price,"
A short time ago a curious test was
applied at the London Congregational
Union Free Shelter For Homeless Men
at Medland hall, in the east of London.
The object of the test was to ascertain
1t the men were really as penniless as
they represented themselves to be. The
free shelter is intended for men who
have not the fourpence necessary to pay
for a nights lodging elsewhere, and one
night Edward Wilson Gates the shrewd
superintendent of the philanthtopic
work of the union, announced that he
would give sixpence to each man present
who could prove that he had some
money, but less than fourpence. "A chuc-
king laugh passed over the 800, that
being the maximum allowed in the hall
"But how shall I know that you have
less than fourpence?" asked Mr.. Gates.
''Search us!'' cried the men.
"You really mean it?"
eyes. /" ,ae
Every well, but if any one objects let
him go to the gallery, and guarantee
that he shall not be turned away"
Only five of the 800 went up stairs,
and the others were thoroughly search
ed by experienced men. Two hundred
and forty-nine had nothing, one had a
farthing, II had a halfpenry, one had
three farthings, Is had a penny, two
had penny farthing, four had three
halfpence, nine twopence, three two
pence halfpenny and two had threepence
halfpenny. Thus out Of the 800 men
295 had not the fourpence necessary for
a "fo'penny doss' at a lodging house.
1t seems pretty clear, therefore, that the
men were genuinely "hard up. Lon

A beggar once asked aims of Oliver
Goldsmith as he walked with friend
up Fleet street, and he gave her shil-
ling. His companion, knowing some
thing of the woman, censured the writer
for his excess of humanity, saying that
the shilling was misapplied, as she
would spend it for liquor. If it makes
her happy in any way, my end is an
swered, " replied Goldsmith.
Another proof that the doctors gen
erosity was not always regulated by dis
erection was at time when, after much
delay, day was fixed to pay the $40
due his tailor. Goldsmith procured the
money, but a friend calling upon him
and relating piteous tale of his goods
being seized for rent, the thoughtless
but benevolent author gave him all the
money. The tailor called and was told
that if he had come little sooner he
could have had the money, but that he
had just parted with every shilling of it
to friend in distress, adding, II would
have been an unfeeling monster not to
have relieved trouble when in my pow

A Kansas City man who was a class.
mate of Schley's at Annapolis says that
the admiral was looked upon as the
best Spanish and French scholar in the
navy. His department at the academy
was modern languages. 81 remember
one thing in particular about him, and
that is his long legs. He is not notice
ably tall, but his legs are of wondrous
length and he can run like deer. In
the navy they never tire of telling about
Schley in Korea. During the trouble
there we sent landing party ashore in
charge of Schley The boat had not
more than reached the shore when out
jumped the marines to make dash for
the parapets, possibly half mile away
In the lead was Schley. In jiffy he
was far ahead of everybody, his legs
working vigorously, and when the en-
bankments were reached he had prac-
tically distanced all the Others

Swiss funeral customs are most pecul-
lar. At the death of person the fam
lily inserts formal black edged an
nouncement in the papers asking for
sympathy and stating that ''the mourn
ing urn" will be exhibited during GER
tain hours on a special day. In front of
the house where the person died there
is placed a little black table, covered
with a black cloth, on which stands a
black jar. Into this the friends and ac-
quaintances of the family drop little
black margined visiting cards, some
times with few words of sympathy
on them. The urn is put on the table
on the day of the funeral. Only men
ever go to the churchyard, and they
generally follow the hearse on foot.

EXPERT TOBACCO TESTING.
Cuban Buyers and Their Highly De-
YeIoped Sense of Smell

Cuban buyers and Their Highly De-
veIoped Sense of Smell.
The greater part-in fact, nearly all
of the tobacco raised in Cuba and not
used by the Cuban cigar makers is
shipped to the United States. At certaiu
seasons of the year the Havana hotels
are filled with tobacco buyers from the
United States Some of them deal
through the brokers in Havana, but
some who know the country and the
language go out into the tobacco dis
trict and deal directly with the plant
ers, often buying promising crop be-
fore it is picked. The tobacco buyer has
necessarily to be good judge of tobac-
co. He goes down into the very center
of the bale of tobacco he is examining,
extracts some samples and tests them in
different ways.
The first test is that of smell The
Cuban tobacco has strong and pecul-
lar odor. A little variation one way or
the other makes the tobacco good or
bad. After smelling it the buyer is like
~ to roll a rudely constructed cigar out
the smoke and endeavor to determine
exactly the flavor. He will also examine
the ash carefully and test also the COM
bustion of the tobacco-that is try to
find out how long it will hold fire. 1t is
a great annoyance to smoker who is
talking or,writing or otherwise engaged
to put his cigar intojhis mouth and find
that it has gone out. No cigar ever
tastes SO good after it has once gone out,
and fine Havana cigar is positively
rank when it has met such a catas-
trophe. So one quality sought for is
