Every little while you read that a
man 90 years old and still hale and
hearty has smoked all his life, but it
is nevertheless a fact that smoking is
very injurious. Men should be ashamed
that they are unable to quit the habit.
This is not written by a man who has
no desire to smoke, but by man who
smokes a great deal, has tried several
times to quit and couldn't do it.
When you find q boy who is pale and
sick from his first smoke, remember
that his father and his grandfather
are to blame 1t will take thousands

for pipe as he is to look for a sweet
heart. His father was guilty of both
offenses before him.-Atchison Globe.

Many Difficult Problems to BE Met IN
Their Construction.
THE making Of decorative street
floats is difficult trade" said New
Orleans scenic artist who has had
plenty Of experience in the line he men
toned. There are so many things
to be considered. For instance, q float
must look well both near and far. 1t
must be able to stand dash of rain.
It must be light enough to go over any
kind Of street and solid enough to re-
sist q gust of wind, and, most impor-
tant Of all, it must be so constructed
that it will appear all right to folks il
upper windows.
"SOme years ago a young designer

COOKERY IN BOLIVIA.

LIT Is Prepared.
The stoves Of the Bolivian Indians
ere curious things. A hole is dug in
the ground about Is inches deep and a
foot square, and over this is built
roof Of clay with holes of different
sizes to receive the various cooking
pots. Roasting is done on splits pass
ed through the holes. so that the meat
comes out very much smoked unless
great care is taken to have only live
Goals at the bottom OF the oven.
The national dish and the common
food of the masses is ''chupe." sort
Of first cousin to the Irish stew 1t is
a conglomerate, composed of irregular
constituents from the animal and vege-
table kingdoms, Il mess of mutton and
such other meats as are available;

sistency Of porTidge. What happens

the pot until the next. If the fire goes
out, the "chupo" is allowed to cool,
but it is warmed up again and a new
supply Of the ingredients added to the
water logged and greasy stuff for the
next meal.
In the cities, at the hotels and res
taurants where there are French Or
Swiss cooks, the ''chupe" is sayory and
palatabIe, but the farther you go from
the centcrs OF civilization the worse it
gets. One eats it at first under pro-
test, then from necessity and only to
escape starvation. but finally the stom-

was in undoubted sympathy with him,

have never eaten or destroyed one of
that species, although they enjoy other
species.
If one happens now to be washed
ashore. there is a great commotion in
the town. Firstly, the women sit down
and start singing and beating sticks;
