Pine Smoking.

There are many pipe smokers who do
not know how to get the best there is

point in pipe smoking is to smoke slow

besides failing entirely to get the full
est and best flavor out of the tobacco.
1t is all matter Of habit, but slow
smoking is habit which it is hard
for some people to acquire. In some
cases pipe smokers have tried for years
to check their smoking speed without
success. They began too late, and the
habit Of rapid smoking is shaken off
with difficulty when it is once acquired.
Rapid smoking is as bad as rapid

Wagner and the Player.

When Richard Wagner was conduct
or of the Royal Opera in Dresden, the
orchestra Of that institution, though
one of the best in Germany, was far
from being as good as it is now, and
Wagner had good deal of trouble in
making it follow his intentions. Some
years later, when he was living as an
exile in Zurich, he undertook to train
the local orchestra. After a few at
tempts he exclaimed. Gentlemen, you
have just given me great pleasure;
you have played exactly as badly as
the Dresden orchestra"
The Zurich players laughed. and the
idea that they might play better than
the royal musicians in Dresden so fired
their zeal that they actually succeeded
