A. Chinaman'S SE1Okc.

In Persia and in Japan pipes about
the size of a baby's thimble are used,
providing two draws. a great waste of
time. 1t is the Chinaman, however,
who in smoking gets endless work out
of practically nothing at ALL
He carries a little box about twice
the size Of an ordinary silver cigarette
case This is half filled with water. In
one end is a removable tiny tube to
serve as pipe. At the other end is the
pipestem. First of all, he removes
the tube and blows through it to re-
move all blockage. Then he fumbles
through his awkward clothes, search
ing for tobacco and produces bit of
rag in which it is wrapped.
Carefully he extracts a wad Of tobac-
CO, puts away his rag and slowly
plugs the tube. which holds perhaps
the tenth part OF an ordinary cigarette.
But he never E;ss any matches.
So he has to borrow or hunt out
brown paper stem and light tit
CLOVIS for long tine and can be puff
ed into fame again-he gives long
draw; slowly, appreciatively, the
smoke oozes from between his Celes-
tial lips; he splits; he draws again and
gets small result. The smoke is over.
He removes the tube, blows through it,
and the proceeding begins all over
again.

Shelley Liked Bread.

The poet Shelley was very simple IN
his tastes and found his chief pleasure
in long, solitary rambles. Bread be-
came his chief sustenance when his
regimen attained to that austerity
which afterward distinguished it. He
could have lived On bread alone with
out repining.
'Do you know" he said one day to
a friend, with much surprise, that
Mr.. G. does not like bread? Did you
ever know a person who disliked
bread?' His friend explained to him
that Mr.. G. probably had no objection
to bread in moderate quantity at a
proper time and with the usual adj
juncts and was only unwilling to de-
YOUR several pounds of dry bread at a
meal.
Shelley had no such objections; his
pockets were generally well stored
with bread. Sometimes he ate with
his bread the common raisins which
he bought at small grOcers' shops

Lost Pins.
What becomes Of pins?

w NAT becomes OF pms!
1t would really seem rejecting upon
the daily disappearance of pins that
the earth would be covered with them
and that the annual fall if measured
would amount to several inches. WO-
men who start out with pins playing
a useful part in the details of a gown
will tell you that they never can find
pin; that they are always buying
pins; that they are eternally loaning
them. In the dressmakers rooms the
expenditure for pins is no small item.
The average dressmaker uses and
loses twelve papers of pins month.
Yet the floors of her rooms are not
matted with them, and frequently her
wall goes up, What has become of all
the pins? Where indeed do they go?
Is there crust of pins subtly forming
under the everyday sweep that will
puzzle explorers in some far age to
come? -Philadelphia Ledger.

The Victoria Medal.

The Victoria medal is made out of
bronze from Russian guns captured in
the Crimean war. The design is the
work of the prince consort of Queen
Victoria. The medals are made sep
arately and only when one is needed.
Thus when some soldier Or sailor, no
matter what his rank may be, has
shown conspicuous bravery or devo-
ton to the country in the presence of
danger" as the act reads, the war Office
sends to the royal jewelers. the bronze
needed for the metal. 1t is carefully
cast, filed smooth around the edges
and then the design is brought out by
chasing. The soldiers medal is sus-
pended by a red ribbon and that of the
sailor by blue piece of silk.

DANGEROUS Smoking.

Natives of Central America are in
veterate users Of pimento tobacco,
which they make from dried pimento
berries, or allspice. 1t invariably gives
the smoker a sore throat and often
causes cancer of the tongue. The ma
tives of South Africa are affected in a
peculiar manner by the smoke from
the dried leaves of the camphor plant.
The smoker trembles with fright at
nothing, weeps bitterly and uses all
sorts of words which do not in the
least express his meaning. The wild
dagga, another South African plant,
poisons slowly those who use it.

Desert Gems.

In 1889 a hunter in the northwest of
New South Wales wounded a kanga-
roo. The animal went off through the
mulga and the salt bush at IA pace too
fast for the hunter to follow and was
soon out of sight. The hunter was a
bushman and did not despair. He fol
lowed the blood trail, hopeful of a
short search and speedy bag. At one
point of the pursuit it may be that the
trail grew faint and necessitated a
stopped and picked up piece of stone.
This he examined. The red spot was
not on it. 1t was in it. It was not
blood that he saw; it was opal. Such
was the beginning Of the White Cliffs
opal fields.

Toilet of the Cat,

Cats, large and small, make the most
careful toilet of any class Of animals,
excepting some of the opossums. The
lions and tigers wash themselves in ex-
actly the same manner as the cat, wet
ting the dark, rubberlike ball of the
fore foot and inner toe and passing it
over the face and behind the ears. The
foot is thus at the same time a face
sponge and brush, and the rough
tongue combs the rest of the body.
