Biqqest CIGAR in the World.

Paymaster General Bates of the
army possesses the largest cigar in
the world. 1t is sixty-three inches
long and as large around as a mans
arm at the thickest section.
Its composition includes twenty
two classes of Philippine tobacco. The
huge cigar is the gift of Maj. w. H.
Comegys of the pay department, who
sent it to the paymaster general with
this note:
81 send you the largest cigar you
have ever seen-at least, the largest
have ever seen. 1t is made of
number of the finest brands of to-
bacco grown on the islands. This
was manufactured at San Fernando
do Union, in Union province, P. l.
The case is also curiosity. 1t may
be called a family cigar, as all smoke
it, and the grandmother is supposed
to finish it or the cigar to finish the
grandmother."-Wa CORE

ON OTHER PLANETS.
Races of Superior Intelligence May
lnhabit Mars and Venus.

That people superior in intelligence
TO those of the earth inhabit the planet
Mars is conclusion set forth by Prof.
G. w. Hough, head of the Department
of Astronomy of Northwestern Uni
versity, in a report of his summers OBJ
servations from the Dearborn observa-
tory. He asserts that as a probability
based on recent discoveries, and adds
that of course it can never be estab-
lished positively.
The conclusion includes the accept
ance of the theory of evolution and the
statements of leading astronomers that
climatic conditions of Mars are the
same as of the earth. The possibility
of Venus and Mercury being inhabited
is admitted, because they have solidi-
fed. and the intense heat resulting
from their proximity to the sun may
have been overcome by a deeper COW
ering of atmosphere. None of the 9th
er planets, in the opinion of the profes
sor, could contain animal life.

retired to a secluded spot to await de

1T was not long until the hog
came trotting back, and seeing that
the coast was clear he went straight
to the log, piled in and crawled
through. When he emerged at the
other end he paused with a dazed look
and took minute notice of his sur
roundings. Seeing that he was not
far from where he started he returned
to the other end and crawled through
again. Another dazed and panied ex-
preston, and he crawled through
again. In few minutes he was trav-
cling in a circuit and squealing pitt

through, only to find himself still on
the outside, he would crawl through
again.

CHARM OF UGLY MEN.
History Records Gases Where Beauty
Was Not Needed.

History Records Cases Where Beauty
Was Not Needed.
There was, perhaps, as much truth
as boasting in the statement of John
Wilkes. the famous London alderman
and champion of British electors:
ugly as [ am if l can have but
quarter of an hours start, | will get
the better of any man, however good
looking, in the graces of any wom-
an" OF Wilkes abnormal ugliness
there was never any question, for is
it not recorded that the very chill
dren in the street ran away alright
ed at the sight of him?" And yet his
powers of fascination were so great
that ladies of beauty and fashion
We'd with each other for his notice
and all courtly graces looked envious-
ly on"
There were, it is said, few beauties
of the day whose hand Wilkes might
not have confidently hoped to win;
and when he led Mary Mead to the al
tar he made wife of one of the rich
est and most lovely women of her
time. Beauty and Beast, they call
u.s." Wilkes once said to his friend
Potter, "and l can not honestly find
fault with the description"
Jean Paul Marat, whose name will
always be associated with the evil
history of the French revolution, was
notoriously the ugliest man of his day
in Paris. When this reputation
reached his ears Marat is said to have
remarked, But why limit my su-
premacy to Paris?" and, indeed, the
restriction was much too modest. And
yet in his earlier years when he was
the most popular of court doctors his
very ugliness seemed to exercise such
a fascination over aristocratic ladies
that they crowded his consulting
rooms in order to catch a glimpse
of and to exchange words with him
under the flimsiest pretexts of imag-
mary ailments.

tinued his depredations in the corn. 3"
why didn't you watch him when
he left the feld?" interrupted one of
the group.
Watch him!" exclaimed the Colonel
in disgust. I'D like to have seen you
watch that hog. He was too slick to
be caught that way. When l went to
run him out of the field he would sim
ply bow his back, give a "Whuff!
whuff!" and run away from the dog,
and after looking my eyes about out
would go home to find him sleeping
peacefully with the other hogs.
Nearly week went by and the
case was becoming desperate. The
hog had eaten his head off, to say
nothing of the corn he had destroyed
and wasted. The last circus of the
season was coming to town in few
days, and the old man limited that if l
cared to go l would have to fasten
that hog out of the field. That was
enough; l vowed l would get even
with the hog if l had to follow him
all day and sleep with him at night.
noticed (after the old man had men
toned the circus) that when 1 got
after him he always ran in the direc-

an astonishing record as a listener
said:
What you fellows have been saying
reminds me of hog my father owned
when 1 was a youngster on the
farm"
Nothing had been said which could
possibly remind the Colonel of hog.
but the group was aware of the fact
that the Colonel was always being re-
minded of something; and anyway, all
wished to hear what he had to say.
The Colonel Strengthened out in his
cnair and began:
Il have met many slick articles in
my time, but that hog was the slickest
thing l have ever had to deal with.
The summer he reached the top-notch
of his record as the slipperiest piece
of pork in the Mississippi valley there
happened to be one of the most flour
ishing corn crops ever seen on our
farm. l was detailed to keep stopped
all cracks in the fence inclosing the
crop. The first two or three weeks
after the corn was in the roasting ear
stage l kept everything out tight, and
then l was forced to throw up the
sponge to hazeIsplitter shoat. That
hog suddenly formed the habit of go
ing through the fence every time he
was hungry and good many times be-
tween times"
The Colonel made the customary
pause to observe the effect of the in
PRODUCTION. A neckwear drummer who
had just told the championship fish
story said "Well?" inquiringly, and
the Colonel proceeded:
What worried me was that could
MT find where the hog got through the
fence. l walked round and round it,
but not crack large enough to admit
that porker could / discover. | laid
my troubles before the old NANNY
everyday name for father-but he
couldn't help me; in fact, he said that
the hog couldn't fly, so far as he knew,
and that it either went through

seven times by actual count. He had
worn the hair off his back, and, fear
ing that he would keep it up as long
as he had any backbone left, came
from my hiding place and interyened." :"
In response to several 'Heres!"

the path on trot, so hungry for green
corn that he was squealing to himself.
When he was about twenty yards from
me he turned into a corner where the
fence was built over large hollow
log.
II thought my eyes would fall out of
my head when 1 saw that hog crawl
through the log into the field. AS soon
as could recover my breath went
after the brute. He disappeared, and,
of course, went out through the log.
While l was taking the fence down
to remove the log the thought struck
me that l should in some way get
even with the hog. Instead of taking
the log out l turned it around, still
leaving it under the corner so both
ancs would be on the outside of the
