CHEAP PIPES DESTROY THE MOUTH
Artificial Amber blamed for Increase
in a. Smokers Malady.


From the Philadelphia Record.
Several hundred cases of epithelioma of
the lip recently treated at the various hos
pitals in the city are credited entirely to
the pipe smoking habit. Some surgeons
are Of the opinion that the imitation Of
amber used in the manufacture of mouth
pieces for cheap pipes has much to do with
the alarming increase in the disease while
all Of them agree that the majority of the
cases are directly iraccable to the short
clay pipes smoked by thousands Of labor
ers.
The hospital records show that over 20
per cent. of all the cases treated were la
D6rlng men over 40 years of age. The heat
brought close TO the lips by the short
stemmed clay pipes causes a small blister

and keeps on smoking. Then a hard,
knotty wart forms whore the blister first

with Pneumatic Tool.
From the Century Magazine.
The marble carver can, for a short time,
give thirty blows minute with his wood
en- mallet on his chisel; his average speed
is probably less. With a pneumatic ham
mer he can strike 200, 1000, 5000 or 5000
blows in one minute, with out the slight
est exertion on his part. He can regulate
the number of blows in each minute at
will. His flying hammer fits any form
of chisel used in his art. II will enable
him to do any work he can do by hand,
and many things that would be impossible
without his nervous little hammer. His
hand, eye and mind are now free 10 give
their whole attention and skill to guiding
the chisel. All the labor (one-half of the
total labor of striking the blow on the
chisel rs released. Just that amount of
mental and physical energy is released to
work in the real art, which is the guild
ing OF the tool.
An example of che economoy thus af-
forded is found in the elaborate exterior
decorations Of the Appellate Court lately
erected on Madison Square, New York

white marble facing AS required by law,

tune by utilizing this quality for long
distance communication. He learns also
that the cook keeps chickens in the court
and that when the ice and wood perfor-
nance starts in the male portion of that
colony thinks it must be morning and acts
accordingly; likewise the neighboring
fowls not to be outdone by any mere ho-
tel trash, start up a spirited rivalry. The
cry is repeated in distant precincts until

ROusing the Guests
Havana Is noted for early rising. The
hotel people seek to impress this charac-
teristic upon guests by starting their
chambermaid-hallboy at O. clock in the
morning mopping the stone corridors on
which the bedrooms face An artist with
the mop, 1t appears, is the man who with
the least effort can strike the floor with
the metal and wood of that implement
with every movement of the rag attach
ment. Only artists in this line are en-
gagged at the hotels. They do their work
with a finish and completeness that com
pei admiration even from those who do
not like it. This task over, it is time for
, the boys to begin TO call guests who may
have left word at the Office to be reused
early. Everybody in the hotel would
| cheerfully make affidavit for every boy
that this duty is performed with jealous
fidelity.
Since daylight begins here at o'clock.
| one concludes that it is a waste of pre-
cious time to remain in bed, and in ris-
ing recalls that quotation from Pibrac:
Cease not to learn until thou cease to
live.
Think that day lost wherein thou drawst
no letter,
Nor gain ST no lesson that new grace may
give
To make thyself learneder, wiser bet
tG-."
Fame awaits the poet who will amend
these lines for the benefit of philosophers
enjoying the hospitality of Havana hotels
so that they may count that night as well
as that day lost therein they learn moth
ing.
An American Hotel Needed.
American enterprise in Havana has Of
ten gone amiss, but the man can make no
mistake who viii start a decent hotel for
Americans and conduct 1t home fashion
He cannot fail to have his hands full and
his pockets full at least six months in the
year. and he may make his rates high
enough to afford TO close up and take
a vacation at home for the remaining six
months. There is no such hotel here, or
anything like it, and hotel men here as
well as elsewhere. know that when Amer
leans are away from home for pleasure
or business they wish to be comfortable
regardless of cost. The big hotels charge
from 81 to so per day. Nearly all of them
would be reduced to a liquor saloon bust
ness were it not for American trade. AS
substitutes for a hotel well-located lodg-
ing or boarding houses for transient
Americans would do good business if
moderately advertised

Attack Is Now Directed Toward Pan- ther Creek Valley, Where Mines Are in Operation-Situation
 Grows More Complicated

Hazleton, Pa., October 4.-No notice has been taken by the striking miners of the 10 per cent increase offered by several of the larger coal companies.
 Applications by striking miners for re- lief are beginning to be received by local unions.
 Affairs were quiet in all except the Sha- mokin section of the anthracite field to- day, and the strikers scored important gains in the closing of additional collieries in the Schuylkill district With cessation of operations at the North Franklin, all of the Philadelphia and Reading Com panys collieries will now have ceased work.
 The point of attach by the United Mine Workers organizers now Is the Panther Creek valley in the lower Lehigh region, where the collieries of the Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company have been in practically full operation since the strike began in the other sections.
 President Mitchell said today that the strikers of the Lackawanna valley will make an effort to outdo the Wilkesbarre demonstration at Scranton next Wednes- day.

evil-disposed persons in China, although 1t has been thought well, In view of the vagueness of the edict In regard to the punishment which some of the inculpated persons are to receive, to signify to the Chinese minister the Presidents view that it would be most regretable if Prince Tuan, who appears from the concarring testimony of the legations in Pekin to have been one of the. foremost in the proceedings com- plained of, should escape such full measure of exemplary punishment as the facts war rant, or if Rang II and Chao Shu Chiao should receive other than their just deserts.
 with a view to forming a judgment on these points the United States minister in Pekin has been instructed to report whether the edict completely names the persons de- serving chastisement; whether punishments proposed accorded with the gravity of the crimes committed; and in what manner the United States and the other powers are to be assured that satisfactory punishment Is inflicted.
 "Itsis hoped that MT. Conger's replies to these interrogatories will confirm the gov- ernment of the United States in the opinion which 1t shares with the imperial German government that the edict in question is an important initial step in the direction of peace and order in China.
