When you see man grip cigar be-
tween his teeth and hold it fast, careless
of whether it burns or not, you can set
him down as an aggressive, calculating
and exacting individual.
If man smokes cigar deliberately,
just enough to keep it lighted, and de-
lights in taking it from his mouth and
watching the blue smoke from it curl up
ward, he is likely to be an easy going
man, good natured and honest.
There is another fellow who smokes in
termittently, takes a puff and then rests
and funbles his cigar about He is apt to
have little decision of character and to be
easily affected by circumstances. A man
may be nervous and tumble his cigar II
good bit, and in this event he is a would
be swell, vain and frivolous.
He invariably tits his cigar upward,
while a sensible, level headed fellow will
hold it straight out from the mouth.
When you see man chewing upon an I'M
lighted cigar and twisting it about, he is
nervous, but of great tenacity.
A man who cannot keep his cigar alight
has whole souled disposition. He has a

Quick Work.

Achievements which our fathers thought
wonderful are not only duplicated but far
surpassed by the present generation. In
1911 Sir John Throgmorton, Berkshire
baronet, wagered 1000 guineas that at 8
O'Clock ON particular evening he would
sit down to dinner In a well woven, well
dyed well made suit, the wool of which
had formed the fleece on Sleeps backs at
o'clock that morning. The wager was
eagerly accepted, as the feat was consid-
cred impossible. On June % the test was
made, and the baronet won his wager with
an hour and three-quarters to spare, the
suit being ready at n quarter past 8.
May Is 1898, Mr.. Thomas kitson of
Stroudsburg, Pa, attempted similar
feat. The sheep We're shorn at half past 9
in the morning, the fleece was passed
through IS processes Of manufacture and
came out finished cloth in 3 hours and "a
minutes.
The cloth passed into the hands of six
tailors, and in two hours and half the
suit, complete in every particular, was
ready for Mr.. kitSon.
The whole process from the time that
the wool was on the Sleeps backs until
the suit was ready for the mans back oc-
cupied six hours and four minutes, less
than half the time it took to make the
suit for Sir John Throgmorton in ISL

Queer Chinese Fish.

The rarest, most costly, most curious
fish in demand for aquaria come from,
China Goldfish breeding is a speciality
among the Celestials, the fish having been
first introduced into Europe in 1911.
They were then so costly that only royalty
could own them. Fancy prices are still
paid for some breeds of Chinese goldfish.
The brush tall is the rarest of these,
one having been sold in Berlin for more
than $500, others having brought from
$3.50 to $500 apiece The Chinese keep
secret their method for evolving brush
tails on goldfish.
The egg fantail" which, like a cha
meleon, can change its color, is another
rare Chinese fish, as is the telescope
fish. This latter has huge eyes, that
bulge like telescope lens Its flagon
shaped body is covered with silver scales,
and its head is unlike that Of any other
known fish. The telescope fish often sells
for as much as $50. These prices put the
highly cultivated finny fellows beyond the
reach of any but the most wealthy collect
ors. They also give new and very literal
significance to the name Of goldfish-with
the accent on the gold"

The largest sugar planter in Texas is j.
W. Cunningham, whose plantation and
refinery are located at Sugarland. The
crop is cultivated AMI harvested by con-
victs who are leased from the state, Sew
eral hundred mules are employed on the
plantation, and Mr.. Cunningham intro
duced new food for them a few years
ago This food is pure black molasses,
and the animals are fed nothing else
throughout the year. Large troughs have
been built in the stables into which the
molasses is conducted direct from the re-
finery through pipes. The mules have a
great fondness for the mdasses, and they
are kept in prime condition all the time.
The molasses fed to these work animals is
of coarse quality and would command
only low price in the market. 1t is
much cheaper than corn or oats.-Austin

CromweIl's Vision.

1t is said that one day, when Cromwell
was but mere lad, as he was lying on
his bed in melancholy mood, gigantic
specter appeared to him and said, Thou
shalt be the greatest man in England"
Health says it was a dream. Lord Clar-
endon and Sir Philip Warwick speak OF it
as vision But whether dream or vision
it made profound impression on the
youth, so much so that his father request
ed DIR. Beard-Oliver's schoolmaster-to
fog him severely for ''persisting in the
wickedness of such an assertion" The
flogging only deepened the impression.
He told his uncle Stuart of the prophecy
and was warned that it twas traitorous
to relate it. - But when he had seated
himself upon the throne of England he
frequently spoke of the occurrence and
was fully persuaded in his own mind of
it's prophetic and supernatural character.
