CNAlly Wines.

Our milllonuires think $75 gallon

The Lazy, Stupid shay.

''The shag IS the LATEST and most stu
pid form Of life to be found anywhere

spent much time in watching this fowl
which Is found in some Of the shallow
lakes. and the chief point of interest
to me was the startling stupidity dis
played. They generally squat on
stumps or logs in the lake and watch
for the smaller fish that play around
the surface of the water. They are
fairly clever in catching what they
want. and they throw out their bill
with considerable precision when they

Hints For Smokers.

the various patent cleaning devices are
OF little use in making 1t fresh. But If
you pack the bowl tight with grass or
hay and lay the pipe aside for Il few
days YOU will have il as sweet as whek
1t was new. Talking about smoking
here is a good idea for lighting match
es: Don't light them on your trousers.
for your burn Sits in them. nor on
your shoe soIes. for you'll rub the heads
off. The plan Is to rub them on a piecs
of paper--a folded newspaper. an envel-
Opc. Il ticket. The silica in the paper
acts like sandpapcr.
Many people can't smoke dozen
cigarettes without getting sore throat
lnveterate cigarette smokers are f:e.
quently troubled with perpetual cold
in the head. Ii is not the smoke thai
Is to blame. but the dust. Now, IL you
use a cigarette tube-amber. cherry or
cardbOard-a tiny bit Of cotton wool IN
the bottom OF it will catch every par.
ticle of dust. Try this. and you'Il have
no more sore throats. But you may not
enjoy the smoke. Exchange.

when Hurry Was the Fashion,

The following extract from the Lon
don Times OF May II. 1901. gives an
interesting picture of the good old
days: 1T Is now the high fashion to
run. or at least to trot. through the
streets at n rate of six miles an hour.
A running walk is absolutely necessary
for any young man who has the least
pretensiOn to ton. You must lounge in
a hurry and saunter with expedition.
1t Is an old prOverb, the more haste the

do. When we see our idle youths rid
ing race horses. walking for wagcrs or
boxing for fame. we must agree with
