ORIGIN OF PUNCH.
A Drink That Was First Brewed by
 The Hindoos.

Chicago News.
 Contrary to general belief. punch and the puncn bowl are not institutions of Anglo-Saxo or even of European origin. The arak of Indian origin preceded the invention of punch. It was a sacred bev- craze. sometimes served with the addi- ton of four other ingredients-fruit juice, water, sugar and nutmeg. Five was d sa cred number to the worshippers of Brahma. -4he Dutch were much addicted to beverage called 'bouleponge," 2 semi Hindu. semi-European preparation, the strength of which frequently proved fatal to drinkers; in the eighteenth cen tury brandy and eau de vie were substi- tuted for arak.

ADVICE TO PIPE SMOKERS.
Good Care Should Be Taken of Tobac. co if Enjoyment is Desired.

New fOrk Tribune.
 For some time" said down-town to- bacconist the other day. II have been dealing out chunks of wisdom to pipe smokers. There are lots of people who like to smoke a pipe. but cannot do so because, they say. 1t bites their tongues. men ask me if I have tobacco that will not bite when smoked in pipe. When am In a proper humor and have not been troubled unduly with the idiosyncrasies of cranky customers who spend cents for 6 cigar and think they own the shop because they are spending that same nickle, 1 take a few minutes and read the pipe smoker lesson in the care of to- bacco.
 Tobacco of fair quality will not bite even the most sensitive tongue-bear in mind that 1 am speaking of smokers and not of beginners-if 1t be kept properly There are pipes that will burn the tongue no matter what kind of tobacco Is smok- ed in them, but there Is no properly made pipe that will burn the tongue if the to- bacco is kept right. Take dry cigar or cigarette, especially one made of domss- tic tobacco, and 1t will burn the tongues of most men. The same is true of pipe tobacco. Most men allow their tobacco to become dry and powdery. When 1t Is in that condition 1t will burn any tongue that is not coated with leather, The se- cret, then, is to keep the tobacco at a proper degree of moisture.
 ''GlVen tobacco that IS rigntly kept ana a pipe that is made to smoke and not to cater to a fad and, you are all right. No pipe less than four inches long should be smoked, because 1t is too shcrt to allow the smoke to cool before it reaches the mouth. Neither should the pipe be of common wood The soft woods burn readily with the tobacco. and it is then the burning wood and not the burning to- bacco that bites the tongue. Get good. hard brier pipe or a meerschaum and smoke fair tobacco that has not been allowed to become dry and there will be no trouble. It Is all bosh to talk about wide holes in the mouth-piece and pipes that are made with hollows in the stems to cool the smoke, If the pipe Is long enough the tobacco just damp enough and the material os the pipe hard enough not to burn too freely one can smoke d pipe as freely as cigar and not know ne has a tongue. The trouble Is that people want cheap pipes or freak pipes, and l suppose as long as they want them they will find them.'

The machine is said to be wonder and promises to do as much for railroads as the thermostat has done for heat regulation.
 It is constructed of metal and is very simple There gre several springing bars operated py cogs that are attached to various parts of ar engine by rods. These bars have taps at one fed over a spoo, from reels. after the fashion of ticker. These markings show whenever the whistle is blown. the bell rung, whenever . valve is opened or the air applied. It also shows the speed maintained. when there is too much steam or too little and the time made part of the machine which is non-a automatic allows the engineer to record a station stop an accident of any nature or anyshins else he
 What the Inventor Claims.
 Among other things that the inventor claims for his device are the following:
 Every blast of the whistle @ the & exas: & f!ms ns week. time and place a train breaks in two, speed when train parted, place on road of said s 2 station 'i and name % of station. time consumed switching at any station. number Of miles covered in switching at any station how close of others. when and where two trans pass. when and where engineer first noticed nag and if he signaled. time consumed in stopping after flag was noticed. when and where air brakes were applied, how long an engineer Is on duty, just where the locomotive Is and much steam is wasted every day.
 The device is placed in the engine cab di- rectly behind the steam drum.
 Machine is Being Tested.
 The machine is now being tried on the Mill waukee and St. Paul line and on one of the Eastern roads. Objection is registered to the record too much.
 The inventor was formerly telegraph oper- /ator for the Milwaukee anl St Paul road. stationed in Janesville, Wis. He afterward pursued an extended course in a theological seminary and subsequently had charge of sew erai churches. He has been working on his invention three years.
