Smoking Under Water.

Says an expert swimmer;
1t looks very strange to see man go
under water with lighted cigar in his
mouth, smoke calmly at the bottom
and come to the surface with the cigar
burning as nicely as if he were smok-
ing in his easy chair. Apparently he
defies all natural laws, but of course
he doesn't.
1t is a simple trick, but it requires
practice. Just as l throw myself back
ward to go down flip the cigar end
for end with my tongue and upper lip
and get the lighted end in my mouth,
closing my lips water tight around It.
A little slippery elm juice gargled be-
fore going in prevents any accidental
burning of the mouth. Going slowly
down backward, lie at full length on
the bottom of the tank and blow smoke
through the cut end of the cigar. Just
as l reach the surface again another
flip reverses the cigar, and there | am
smoking calmly. The reversing is done
so quickly that nobody notices it.

ADVICE a. to Roastinr a Turkez.

Advice as to Roasting n Turkey.
''Ninety-nine women out of every
hundred, ninety mine cooks out Of ev-
cry hundred, will bake turkey with
the back to the pan," said New Or
leans man who keeps in touch with the
kitchen, land this is a mistake. A fa-
nous French cook know never thinks
of BAKING turkey with the breast up.
The breast is turned to the bottom of
the pan and instead of being dry and
tasteless when it is served is richly fa-
vored and as sweet and juicy as one
would care to have it. You see, all the
fine fiavoring of the turkey, the juices
of the dressing and all the daintjer
touches flow down toward the breast
of the fowl, and when the white meat
is served you get the full benefit of ev-
cry favor added during the processes
of preparing and baking the turkey. In
addition to the distinctive taste of the
fowl itself.
announcement and awkward Not at
all. 1t is just as easy to cook a turkey
in this way as in any other way, and
the result is infinitely more satisfac-
tory. 1t is no trouble to arrange the
fowl in the pan. If you desire to place
the fowl on the table before carving it,
you will find that it will look quite as
well as it would If baked in the usual
way, and certainly it will taste much
better than it would if you baked the
breast until it was dry and fiavorless."

the shepherd put his whistle to his lips
and blew long, shril note.
Instantly 5000 ants appeared and set
to work separating the lentils from the
peas and never stopped until the whole
was divided into two heaps.
The ils'xt morning the king, to his great
establishment. beheld the work accom-
plished. He tried to raise objections,
but was unable to find any ground what
ever.
All he could now do was to trust to
the third trial, which, after the shep-
herds success in the other two trials, he
found to be not very hopeful However.
as the third was the most difficult of all,
he did not give way to despair
What now remains for you to do" he
said, sis to go into the breadroom and
in a single night eat the whole weeks

row morning not a single crumb is to be
found there, / will consent to your mar

That same evening the young shepherd
was conducted to the breadroom of the
palace, which was so full of bread that
only a very small space near the door
remained unoccupied.

whistle. In a moment 10000 mice fell to
gnawing at the bread in such fashion
that the next morning not a single erumb
remained in the place.
The young man then hammered at the
door with all his might and called out:

Nevertheless, the king tried hard to get
out of his engagement
He had sack big enough to hold six
measures of wheat brought and, having
called a good number of his courtiers
about him. said: '"Tell US as many false
hoods as will fill this sack, and when IT
is full you shall have my daughter"
Then the shepherd repeated all the
falsehoods he could think of, but the day
was half spent, and he was at the end Of
his fbs and still the sack was far from
being full.
"Well," he went on, while was
guarding my hares the princess came to

The shepherd bowed and continued:

A searcher after curious facts has
learned that athletic women are BY no
means modern product, as is generally
believed. They 6ourished in the DAVIS of
sal volatile. hoops. patches and snuff. in
the days when George II. was king. La
dies of the court took part in races ar
ranged for them at the regular meet
ings so that there were lady jockeys
as well as gentlemen jockeys. and once
series of foot races for ladies in Hyde
park was organized The first one was
run amid great enthusiasm of the popu-
lace. and the betting was high Then
stepped in some cross grained old fellow
who persuaded the government that such
races were unseemly. and they came to
sudden end, much to the regret OF the
people of London.

Very few know anything about Suppe.

other popular operas and the father Of
the "Poet and Peasant overture. The
latter was composed to an entirely differ
ent piece and fell fat; the author then
tried it at intervals of six months and a
year with two other plays, and no one
found it pretty. Lastly, because there
was not time to write a new overture, it
was used with long forgotten farce
called "Poet and Peasant" The farce
was successful, and people endured the
overture Then somebody asked permits
sion to publish it ina journal. arranged
for the piano. Soon everybody was play
ing it. Then a music firm bought Of
Suppe for $25 the right and published the
score. They made clear $4,000 with it.

ADOPT AMNESTY BILL.
Cuban Senator's Put Through the
Measure to Set Americans
at Liberty.

Havana, June 9.-The senate
passed the bill granting full amnesty
to all American citizens under SEN
tence in Cuba or against whom pro-
ceedings are pending. As the house
has already passed the bill, nothing
but a few formalities stand between
C. r. w. Nicely and Estes G. Rathbone
and freedom. Rathbone says he ap-
preciates the sentiments of the Gu
bans but what he wanted was new
and fair trial. If he cannot obtain q
trial in the United States he will in
ssist that congress investigate his ac-
lions in Cuba. A proposal to make
the bill applicable to Cubans who had
fought in the war was rejected on
the ground that this was not within
the sphere of the legislature. It was
decided, however, to recommend that
the president pardon all offenders Of
this class.

A Lesson In Public.

A neat little lesson was administered
in a Broadway car the other day at the
hands Of tall, good looking young
girl.
The seat was crowded, but her neigh
Dor, fat, cross and middle aged, was
evidently bound to have as much room
as he considered he had paid for, so
he wedged himself firmly back. then
damned her with his elbow that he
might spread his paper to its utmost
width. She stood the crowding and the
Tapping Of the leaves in her face for a
few moments, then rose to her feet and
took hold of the strap.
"Do take it all,'' she said TRANQUILITY.
The car had stopped, and her clear,
courteous voice easily travelled its en-
tire length. There was a sympathetic
smile on every face. The monopolist
scowled, ratified his paper and stood it
for few moments; then, ugly and re-
sentful, he left the car.
He had learned nothing, but every
other man present read his paper in
sections no wider than his shirt front

color was gone. Thank Cod That

started down the corridor. Suddenly
the girl was conscious that man bar

gently: II am sorry, but cannot see

his lips as he watched them go slowly
