Pads for the Manly Hips.
ago Record Herald

From the Chicago Record Herald.
The latest bulletin frdm the London tai
lors says men who would be stylishly dress
ed during the fall and winter must have
small waists and padded hips The an
nouncement is said to have caused general
CONSERVATION in swell circles. AS far as
the padded hips are concerned most of the
gentlemen who consider it their duty to re-
gard the taiior's fiat as law are not worried.
Any one can have padded hips IL he is fool
ish enough to want them, but the small
waist is a wholly different matter The ex-
act language of the pronunciamento from
the tailors is: mo mar can hope to be styI-
ishly attired If his waist does not taper tri-
angle fashion from the shoulders"
1t Is singufarly unfortunate that the
wording of this order cannot be slightly
changed. II 1t were said that the waist
must taper triangle fashion to the shout
ders a majority Of the very genteel gentle
men of this country might be in fashion
without the help of pad of any kind. AS
1t Is. there Is likely to be great deal of
quiet, patient suffering among those who
yield to the tailors. dictates.s..s .~-s-s

PORTO RICAN CHOCOLATE.
How the Bon-Bons of Mayaguez Diffe
From Those of Other Countries.

From the New York Evening Post
The new territory, Porto Rico, is begin
ming to put itself In evidence here and
there in the big American cities Its
fruits. cigars, cigarettes, sugar and coffee
are now familiar sights. and In the past
three months the chocolates and bon bons
Of Mayaguez have appeared at one or two
stores in the Broadway district.
The proprietor Of one of these bright
eyed and swarthy West Indian said: 1T
will take some time for Americans to ap-
preciate the Porto Rico chocolate, for the
simple reason that it is the very best In
the world. For two hundred years it has
been cultivated in Mayaguez and the sur
rounding district, where the manufacture
has been developed into a fine art, as well
as an industry. For more than a century
the bon-bOns and CONNECTIONS of Mayaguez
have been standard luxuries among the
wealthy classes of Cuba, Spain and south
ern France So large has been the demand
that at times the supply of the bean ran
snort and the Portoriquensen manufacturer
has been obliged to import from Venezuela.
They are SO proud Of their goods that
when this happens they label the wares
SECOND quality, or else give 1t no label at
all. the finished chocolate differs in many
respects from that in general use In the
American cities More care Is bestowed m
selecting the beans and in the preliminary
treatment. There are no quick systems
such as the Dutch method or the acid
method or the treatment by aIkalies. The
finished chocolate Is purer and contains al
most no sugar 1t never Is diluted or
blended with starch. arrowroot, tapioca or
other amylaceous materials, much less with
burnt lumber. burnt sienna and other claws
which are SO common an adulterant in Eu-
rope and America
When made into bon-bons the practice

lines. Every ingredient employed is ground
and bolted until 1t is powder as fine as
-four. while soft substances are rolled or
milled until they are as smooth as cream.
The manufacturers give greater variety
In combination flavors. In this CITY the
average chocolate is favored with vanilla
and the cheap qualities with tonka bean.
In Mayaguez there are many standard fa-
Vors and. in addition, any patron can have
connections favored according to his own
formula or taste"

the beginning he would publish illustrations
only, drawn by himself and reproduced by
him as best he could. He had invented
process for this purpose. By means OF his
pictures he would teach his countrymen
how to read.
Nordenskjold sent him from Sweden
small printing press, together with type
paper, printing ink and everything neces-
sary for the publication Of a newspaper on
a small scale. Soon after the receipt OF this
gift Lars Moellers issued the first number
of his journal, under the title Of Read
Ing" although 1t contained nothing but pic
lures He himself distributed his newspa-
per his Journeys afoot or in the sledge,
leaving a copy in every hut In every set
tlement he picked out the most intelligent
among the EsquimauX and impaired to
them gradually all he knew himself. They,
again, taught their neighbors, and these
people in their turn spread their knowledge
among others, so that today there are to be
found few grown up Esquimaux who can
not read little. In Denmark there was
great interest in Moeller's newspaper and
only recently contributions were made there
for the purpose Of providing the publisher
with new printing outfit. And now that
this pioneer Of journalism in the polar re-
gions is dead, another Esqumaux is to con-
tinue the publica ton Of the polar newspa-
per in the spirit of its founder.

AN EsQUIMAUX JOURNALIST.
Jars Moellers, Who Founded the First
Newspaper for His Country.

From the New York Tribune.
The news comes from Greenland that
Lars Moellers, who, himself an Esquimau,
was the first to bestow upon his country
men the blessing Of a newspaper, Is dead.
Lars Moellers was one of the Esquimaux
who served Prof. Nordensk1old as guide in
his explorations. He was bright and intel
Mgent, became quickly Europeanized under
the influence of Nordenskjold and his COM
panions, and learned to read. Whenever he
had a little time to spare he would sit in
corner of his hut spelling from a book or a
newspaper. He was especially interested in
newspapers. and constantly wanted to know
how the news was gathered, how 1t was
printed how the Illustrations were repro
duced, and the like. When taking leave
from Nordensk jold on the latter,s departure
to Sweden the Esquimaux expressed his de-
sire to become journalist. Nordensk jold
laughed at this idea. A journalist In Green
land! Even IL Lars Moellers had been ca
pable of publishing a newspaper, he was,
after all, the only Esquimaux in Greenland
who could read, and the circulation of
paper, however well edited, would there
fore be confined to single reader who,
besides, did not pay for his subscription!
To this objection Moeilers replied that in

MENTAL SCIENCE FOR DOGS.
4 Chicago Healer Says It IS Easy tc

From the Chicago Chronicle.


Christian Science Is well known in the

Chicago, thus demonstrating that this
method Of treatment is not known In the
east alone Dumb animals have been cured
of ills and injuries by science treatment

been upon dogs. They were as successful
as they were interesting During the past

that she Will devote her life toward ad-

Mrs Jones is a member OF the FIRST

MY LADY NICOTINE,
+ Curious Meditations Upon the Smok-
ing Habit

From Tit Bits
There must be great army Of men who
smoke an ounce OF tobacco a day. Such
worthy smokers are Of course, men OF
philosophic and rejecting disposition, al
though they do not always care to favor
the world with the results Of the high
meditations due to the influence Of the
soothing weed.
1t will be new, even to many Of these, to
know that it would take no less than
ntnety-eight years to dispose of ton OF to-
bacco at this rate of consumption, and 1t
will be still more surprising to consider the
magnitude Of this amount under various
aspects
The smoker Of an ounce day Is almost
invariably faithful disciple OF the pipe. He
may submit to a cigar or cigarette to please
the ladies, but the pipe remains his true
love. Hence we will first suppose that our
ton Of tobacco Is to be sacrificed to My
Lady Nicotine in the homely pipe. If the
ordinary ounce packets in which the tobac-
co is probably bought were piled in a single
column they would tower to height OF
100 feet Arranged in solid block they
would form a cube Of packed shag meas
uring thirteen feet in every direction, or
more than twice the height Of a man.
We might conceive a pipe specially built
to consume this mass. Such pipe, II built
on the plan Of the familiar briar, would be
100 feet long, and the bowl would be 20 feet
In diameter. This bowl could accommodate
700 men. Should the smoker Of such q huge
pipeful prefer the "Churchwarden." he
would obtain a graceful clay 500 feet long
On low average two matches are used to
ca CHI pipe Of toba eco. After his $50, 900 pipes
the smoker would have used many
matches as would stretch from London to
Coventry. or Bath or Gloucester, II placed
end to end. The timber would be barely
contained in a grove Of twenty stalwart
trees each 40 feet high. The heat energy
represented. and which Is largely waste
able distance.
We must not forget that there are many
who prefer the mild cigarette. Let US con-
slider our ton of tobacco in this form. There
will be a considerable difference In the
actual number of cigarettes consumed il
the smoker makes his own in preference to
buying them ready made. In the former
case he will turn no fewer than 100000 in
fragrant smoke; quantity which II placed
in order would make thin white line from
London to Brighton, and In the latter case
they would stretch for thirty-seven miles
Placed side by side, they would pave
small pathway five miles long.
Gould We make these cigarettes into one
huge whole, we should obtain cigarette
10 feet in diameter and nearly 1C0 feet long
A man built In proportion to enjoy TINS
little smoke would be mere 200 feet hiSh
The consumer of this tobacco may, ike
SyeneaIi be a lover of the big cigar of the
Havana If so he must be prepared TO
spend at least $4,000 of which $500 will be
wasted in fag-ends.

PATENT RIGHTS IN THE EAST.
How Inventors Are Regarded by ORR
entail Governments.


From the New York Evening Post.
Nothing better illustrates the difference
between occidental and oriental civilization
than the manner in which inventions are
regarded by the respective governments.
In the west the inventor Is honored and
his invention is protected by letters patent,
copyrights and trademarks. while no atten-
ton is bestowed upon those who are thrown
out Of employment through the invention
itself. In the far east the inventor IS re-
garded as a mere artisan; there are no pat
ents to protect or reward him. and the la
bcrer is protected by the authorities against
any and all things which tend to injure his
calling.
TT is this attitude OF the governing
classes" said an exporter: which puzzl es
a merchant and which threatens serious
consequences In the Industrial and COM
mercial world before many years have
passed by. Even at the present time It
works injustice from a western point OF
view. Thus on one occasion a large house
sent consignment Of fine lamps to Japan.
They were the latest design and were pro-
tected by letters patent. They sold prompt
~ in Yokohama and the agent wrote home
for larger invoice. When these arrived
not one could be sold. The puzzled agent
made inquiry and found that the first lot
had been purchased by manufacturers, who
Immediately initiated them and put the ir,i-
tations on the market at less than half the
price for which the originals could be Sold
A similar experience was had by a CON-
Germ which exported hand sewing machines
to Japan and China. With the exception OF
goods whose making requires expensive
and complicated machinery. it does not pay
to export anything on a large scale TO the
far east which can be initiated by the
clever artisans in that part Of the world
1t Is to be hoped that Japan and China will
join the International Copyright League
and enact broad patent laws. Until THE
is done the foreign merchant is defenseless

II have proved beyond a doubt" said
Mrs. Jones yesterday, that Christian
Science will cure dumb animals. 1t Is easier
to cure animals by science than it is human
beings, because one does not have to over
come the fears and doubts that exist in the
minds Of persons. The dumb animal will
do what he believes he can do, whereas
man or woman will wonder and fear and
doubt The mind of the animal Is not dis
tracted with a thousand other things, and
therefore. the power of science does not
meet the resistance found In the mind Of
human beings"
