GOOD TIMES FOR woRKMEN.
Skilled Employees Are Scarce and Are
Receiving High Wages

Chicago Times-Herald.
Workmen are receiving 5 to 10 cents an
hour premium over and above the union
scale Of wages in several trades in the
building industry because Of the great de-
mand for their services in keeping pace
with the Unprecedented building boom in
Chicago and throughout the country. In
the mechanical ranches all are employed
and so many more are wanted that Chi
cagO contractors are securing the country
for good men and Offering special induce
ments in the way of wages and
dations.
As for Chicago. contractors agree that
the present building boom eclipse5 the
palmy days Of the worlds fair time, and
surpasses anything of the kind in the his
tory OF the city. Because Of the scarcity
of good wOrkmen many buildings have
been delayed several weeks in their. cree
ton. The rush Of work of the worlds fair
season did not last as long as the present
boom.

HALO OF HEVELIUS.
Great Sun Circle, Rarely Seen, OBJ
served by n Professor of Physics.

CLEVELAND, o., Dec. IA remarkable
meteorological observation that will I'M
doubtedly become historical in astronomy
was made here yesterday by Rev. Frederick
Odenbach, S. j., professor of physics in st.
Ignacius College. The observation was that
of the great sun circle, or halo OF Hevelius.
which has only been observed three times
before, and probably never so perfect. Pre-
ceding a period of low barometric pressure,
halos are often noticed about the sun. The
commonest OF these halos is one that APP
pears at a distance of p degrees from the
sun. An outer halo, at a distance Of AS de-
grees, is also occasionally noted. But the
great halo of Hevelius, at a distance of 80
degrees, as observed by Professor Oden-
bach, is a great rarity, and hundreds Of
years may pass before ii Is observed again.
The inner circle of % degrees was COM
plete, portions of the 4S-degree circle were
distinct and the great circle of Hevelius
was distinct for half its circumference.

Luxuries for Prisoners.
New York Commercial Advertiser.

1t has always been the boast that
Americans treated their prisoners better
than any other country. but if the state of
affairs at Fresnes, just outside Paris, is
typical of all French prisoners. America
is left sadly in the rear. We find on the
list Of things provided for next year such
items as 100 kilos OF apple marmaIade.
500 squares of chocolate, 400 kilos of FIGS.
2O kilos Of plums. 200 kilos of Spanish
licorice. 80 kilOs of caramel. 1900 kiIos
of coffee and 1900 kilOs OF sugar. The
authorities of Fresnes are arguing that il
is better 10 turn a well man out of prison
than a sick one, and good food and varied
is the best thing for such a purpose. The
result is that the prisoners will be fed
much better than many of the taxpayers
and Fresnes prison is likely to become very
DODular.

ADVICE FOR SMOKERS.

If You Must Smoke Do it With Leis-
 urely Puffs.
 There are many pipe smokers who dc not know how to get the best there is out of their indulgence. The great point in pipe smaking is to smoke slow ly. Nervous smokers smoke too rapid ly and burn their tongues with hot smoke, besides failing entirely to get the fullest and best flavor out of the tobacco. It is all matter of habit, but slow smoking is a habit which is hard for some ueople to acquire. In some cases pipe smokers have tried for years to check their smoking speed without success. They begin 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 eating or worse. It Is also bad form, ' whether it is cigar, pipe of cigarette. The smoking should be deliberate in order to get the fullest enjoyment It is especially so with pipe. Many per- sons have smoked all their lives and yet do not know how to smoke. It is as pb1ilul lO WdltH SpIiC ptoplt SlilOhc as it is to sit at the table with a man who "gobbles" and 'gorges" his food on the fifteen minutes -for-refresh- ments' plan.
 The deliberate pipe smoker gets out of his pipe an enjoyment of which the rapid smoker has no inklins. A cigar which has once gone out has its flavor ruined forever, for nothing Is more ob- noxious to the sense of smell than a newly extinguished butt" The beast ly persons who take their beastly butts half-lighted or newly extin- guished, into the elevated and surface cars should have some punishment de- vised for them-something humorous with boiling oil
 But it makes no difference to the fla vor of a pipe how many times it goes out. Fastidious pipe smokers always have at least two pipes at hand and never refill one until it Is entirely cooled off This is a help toward good smoking and reasonable life in pipe. A good way to tell If you are smoking too fast is to hold the bowl of the pipe in your hand. If it Is too hot to be held with comfort, then you know that your smoking speed is too great, Good tobacco, a good pipe and deltberateness
