THE SHIPS STEWARD.
His Duties Are Numerous and Varied
and His Pay Is the Poorest of
All on Board.

A steward is nothing more or less
than combination waiter and cham
bermaid. His duties begin an hour
before breakfast, by all rights, in
asmuch as it should take him that
time at least to brush up his blue
or black uniform, shave, make his
hands neat and shine his shoes. He
is supposed to wear spotless and
expansive bosom to his shirt, clean
collar and black or white tie. I do
not think l ever saw but two stew
ards who had shirts, all the others
used dickey for the sake of econ

CIGAR CABINET FOR A KING
One That Was Built in the United
States for the Ruler OF
Portugal.

What is the finest and largest CT
gar cabinet ever built has been re.
Gently shipped from an establishment
in Anderson, Ind, to the king OF
Portugal. 1t was built by the kings
order, says the Philadelphia Record

the palace at Lisbon. 1t will cost
$4,000 and will hold 1000 cigars.

Is inches deep, 80 inches high and
weighs 500 pounds. The exterior is
of the finest ivory white tile. In the
central panels of each door will be
the crest and coat-of-arms of his
majesty. They are TO be fitted into
the doors when the cabinet reaches
Paris.
The exterior finish of the cabinet
is of silver plate at the corners and
also bordering the doors. The
hinges, fastenings and screws are
also silver plated. The interior has
a full tile lining, insulated with two
inches of mineral wool. Some of the

When l was district school-teacher
in the country, boarding round the
neighborhood, I often met an elderly
woman, of good colonial American
stock, who got satisfaction out of a
corncob pipe. There are such women

OF the more usual domestic type of
women, 1 have never seen even sin

the farmers wives in the country of
years ago. Cigarettes, an occasional
one for freak, hardly count.
There are women who do smoke in
a busimesslike manner, though, and
in public. New York is cosmopolitan.

or Spanish. Smoking is common among

Our Internal Commerce.

In view of the establishment OF the
department of commerce and labor it
may be interesting to note that the in
ternal commerce of the United States
last year has been estimated by the
government statistician at $40. 900 .OOO,-
oOo Fifty years ago it was only So
o0OO00,0oO. The manufactures of the
United States are nearly double those
of Great Britain and Ireland, and about
equal to those of France, Germany and
Russia combined.
