Hints For Smokers.

Here is n good tip for smoker: The
best pipe grows foul sometimes, and
the various patent cleaning devices are
of little use in making it fresh. But if
you pack the bowl tight with grass or
hay and lay the pipe aside for few
days you will have it as sweet as when
it was new. Talking about smoking,
here is 4 good idea for lighting match
cs: Don't light them on your trousers,
for you'll burn Sits in them, nor on
your shoe sOles, for you'll rub the heads
off. The plan is to- rub them on piece
of paper-a folded newspaper. an envel-
ope. a ticket. The silica in the paper
acts like sandpaper.
Many people can't smoke a dozen
cigarettes without getting a sore throat.
Inveterate cigarette smokers are fire.
quently troubled with a perpetual cold
I'm the head. 1t is not the smoke that
is to blame, but the dust Now, if you
use a cigarette tube-amber. cherry or
cardboard-a tiny bit of cotton wool in
the bottom of it will catch every par
ticIe of dust Try this, and you'll have
no more sore threats. But you may not
enjoy the smoke.-E Exchange.

The Florida Rnnorbnck.

The Florida 'razorback" is the hog
indigenous 10 this climate and soil. He
is usually large of limb and fleet of
foot, being the only known porker that
can outrun darby. He has Il tail OF
wondrOus length, which, while he is in
active motion, he twists into the tight
est corkScrew, but with which while
quietly feeding he raps his leathery
sides much i'm the same manner that
the docilc COW uses her tail.
He is self supporting. lie earns his
own living and thrives equally we'll in
the highwoods, in the flatwoOds, in the
hummocks and in the marshes. He
subsists upon anything he can find
above the earth or underneath its sur
face. He has n clear farseeinS eye
and is very sensitive of hearing. Ma
ture has equipped him with a snout al
most as long as the beak of the wild
pelican of Borneo. with which he can
penetrate the earth many inches in
quest of worms, snakes and insects.
He is the most intelligent of all the
hogs and is likewise the most couTa-
geous. He has been known to engage in

BENTLEY sUTToN'S WIFE
ELOPES WITH ANOTHER.

Bentley Sutton, a tri-city prize
ring favorite and tie hero of many a
hard fought attempt to arrange a
pugilistic contest, appeared at the
Davenport police station last evening.
aud with much sadness in his voice
announced to Chief Kessler and Desk
Sergeant Cook that his wife had left
the city, and to the best of his knowl-
edge and belief, had gone to Chicago
in the company of a Greek ice
cream and fruit merchant, who was
sweet on her, and in the opinion Ct
the expert in the squared circle had
persuaded her to elope with him.
Mr.. Sutton described the Greek as
a heavy set. fine looking fellow. with
a large, luXuriant. black mustache.
He wanted to get warrants for the ar
rest of the ice cream man and his de-
parted spouse, but was advised that
the cheapest way TO proceed was to go
to Chicag" and by doing the detective
act on has own account catch the pair
at such time and under such cir
cumstances that he could have them
arrested and make the charge stick.
Sutton has many admirers among
the lovers of the manly art in this
city. They regard him as one of the
foremost opponents of scientific box
ing. and man who. if he were less
modest in his estimate of his own
powers, might even now be classed
with FitZsim mons, Jeffreys and sew
eral others whose names are household
words among the American people.

when Hurry wn. the Fnshion.

The following. extract from the Lon
don Times of May IA, 1901, gives an
interesting picture of the good old
days: ct is now the high fashion TO
run, or Mt least to trot, through the
streets at a rate of six miles an hour.
4 running walk is absolutely necessary
for any young man who has the least
pretension to ton. You must lounge In
q hurry and saunter with expedition.
1t is an old prOverb, the mere haste the
worst speed, but Bond street daily
shows us the more hurry the less TO
do. When we see our idle youths rid
ing race horses. walking for wagers or
boxing for fame. we must agree with
Horace that 'strenua nos exercet in
ertia.'"

The systematic examination of more
than 10000 pairs of human ears in

stop growing until death. A woman
