Eranco.eerman Frontier Incident.

From Paris Cor. London Telegraph.
 Relations between the French and Ger mans have considerably improved of late years. and can even be described as cor dial, but this does not mean that the lost provinces have been entirely forgotten on this side of the frontier. as the fol- lowing touching story, which the Patrie has just received from it's correspond ent at Saint Die, in the Vosges, will show A detachment of chasseurs-a -a-pied was marching the other day close to the frontier when it perceived just across the border farm house, on bench In front of which man was sitting. He was a soldier, too, and catching sight of the French sergeant he rose to his feet stood at attention. and saluted in accord ance with the rule in such a case Bare ly twenty yards away the rifiemen watched him fixedly, taking in every de- tail of his uniform and accoutrements, and at last, yielding to an uncomfortable impulse, they removed their kepis,, and, waving them aloft, shouted, ''Vive la Francen So moved was the German soldier by this demonstration that. GOV ering his face with his hands, he burst into tears. The tall. fair-haired man, who looked barely IS years of age, was an Alsatian, and the sergeant, as soon as he had realized the fact, address, ing the chasseurs in low and sad tones, said, Come along, boys, let us be off; we must not tempt the poor fellow. Only towards desert." moment later the detachment was leaving the spot, but the Frenchmen, as they looked mournfully back, beheld the man who was still standing on the other side of the boundary, sobbing as if his heart would break.

Inhallng Tobacco Smoke.
From the Lancet.

From the Lancet
 On the labels of some boxes of cigar cites at present being sold to the public is statement to the effect that the cigar cites are made of the purest tobacco and paper obtainable, and that therefore, the smoke from them may be inhaled safely and without irritating the respiratory passages. We do not hesitate to say that such statement is highly mischievous and that the practice of inhaling smoke into the lungs is attended with consd- erable risk to the health of the smoker.
 It is to be feared that the cigarette Is responsible largely for the prevalence of this objectionable habit of inhaling to- bacco smoke; the pipe or cigar smoker is, as a rule, not addicted to it because prob- ably the smoke is too strong or too irr- tating But the fact that the smoke of a cigarette may be unirritating does not minimize the evil effect of drawing the smoke into the lungs, for by this method the absorption of the poisonous constltu- ents of tobacco smoke (and all tobacco smoke is more or less poisonous) is very rapid, these entering quickly into the circulatory system by way of the pull monary capillaries.
 Even in the mouth and nasal passages there is some amount of absorption, but this Is trif1ing compared with that which takes place in the lungs. The practice of inhaling tobacco smoke is, therefore, strongly to be discountenanced. and ven ders of cigarettes should refrain from printing on the boxes mischievous state ments such that to which we have alluded
 There is no reason for believing that smoking tobacco in a rational way is productive of harm: on the contrary, it is the common experience that when moderately indulged in 1t serves to allay restlessness and irritability, but the se- quel to the habit of inhalation may in deed be dire, the heart and nervous sys- tenn being chiefly affected. Yet many cigarette smokers inhale the smoke into the lungs, as may be seen from the fact that very little of the smoke which they draw from the cigarette Is afterward elected.

Duties. They could get him on the Phone at any time and book him for any kind of Stunt from a Luncheon to a Golf Tourney. He kept his Evening Clothes at the Office and he could respond to a Dinner Invitation like a Fireman going to a Fire. He never side stepped a chance to eat.
 One of his prize Specialties was to play sympathetic Companion to the Woman whose Husband be- longs to a Club. He cultivated the antique Hens who make out the Invitation Lists and that is why Wilbur usually led the German and distributed the Favours when the Smart Set pulled off a Cotillon.
 Although he was on Salary he somehow contrived to hold up his End. Fortunately, his Board did not cost him anything and he squared all of his Society Obliga- tions by making Party Calls, in- stead of sending American Beau ties.
 Inasmuch as all of the real Tes- sies were more or less crazy about Wilbur it seemed a lead-pipe Ger tainty that he would land an Heir ess who would take him to Palm Beach on a Wedding Tour and then pay his Tailor Bills for all time. However, so many were on his fhof nf fhnra, hod chance to monopolize him. Just when Hortense would get him off into a Corner to tell him that she loved Blue Eyes, Der le would come along and begin to stroke his Hair and then Clarice would come up and pin Violets on him.
 A Selling-Plater can keep after one Girl and finally hound her into making a Promise but the Honey Boy has to play a Circuit all the Time. Wilbur usually had about AT Names in his DateBook.
 He never ran short because when the Brides dropped out new Crop, fresh from the Board ing Schools, came in to fill the Va cancies.
 Year after Year, the Ladies Idol continued his heart-breaking Ca reer, not because he wished to be Cruel but because he couldn't help being so alfred Entrancing.
 There never was time when he could have put a Tag on any Dulcinea without putting Blight on the entire Female Community, so he waited.
 In fact, he overdid the Waiting Act.
 About the time that he out grew his Hair and began to look a little puffy around the Eyes, the Lumpty-Tum Elite caught the Attn letic Fever. The Real Boy in Sas- siety was the husky Fellow who had played on a College Eleven and who owned String of Polo Ponies.
 Little Wilbur the has-been Midge, found that he could drift into a Drawing Room without causing the faintesI Ripple.

 He was lucky if he got a few kind Words from some elderly Patroness. As for the Girls who

Animal Nine Weeks Old Brings a

Utica, N. Y.-Henry Stevens of Lacona, N. Y, an extensive breeder of fancy stock paid today $4OO0 for nine-weeks -old bull calf. McAdam and Vonheyne, proprietors of the Brothertown Stock farm near here. sold the animal. The mother of the calf is Sadie Vale Concordia, holder of the worlds seven and thirty day records for milk and butter production. The sire Is Beryl Wayne, a prize winning bull. The calf was born on January %. and the price paid for him Is believed to be the largest amount ever paid for a nine- weeks-old animal.

T HERE once lived at a promi- \0 inent Railway Junction a
 local Swell known as Will bur. He was what one might call a Half-Portion. That is, he was a little shy on Weight, but what he lacked in Avoirdupois he made up in Nerve. He was Fresh Gazabe who could get away with anything. For instance, he could sit in Lady's Lap for an Hour at a Time without starting any Scandal and yet if a full-grown Man tried to hold this same Lady's Hand for a couple of Minutes, just to be so- ciable, she would tell around that she had been Insulted.
 In speaking of Wilbur the Girls usually said he was Cute, or else just too Cunning for any use. The Men said various Things about him, but what they said does not come under fhe head of Sunday Reading.
 Every Debutante wanted to wear him on ner Chatelaine, but most of the Men were plotting to drop a a little Prussic Acid into his Ice Cream Soda.
 For some Reason or other the gabby young Squab who is Ten Strike with the Dolly Grays never stands very Ace with the Poker Players.
 When a man has put some blonde Esmeralda up on Pedes- tai mile high and is silently wait ing for the Day when he will know her well enough to carelessly throw one Arm over the back of the Chair, 1t. makes him Hop-Eyed to see some 90-pound Rabbit with an immortal Rind chase up to the Goddess and give her the kitchy- kitchy Business under the Chin and call her Babe"
 The Pocket-edition Society Boy can take Liberties that would cause the Six-Footer to be mur- dered and thrown into the River.
 Wilbur was the busiest little In- sect that ever buzzed and his work had Mahogany Finish. He could put in an Afternoon with five or six boulevard Netties and make everyone of them think that she was the High Card. He or- dered his Photographs by the Hun dred and he had collected enough Locks of Hair to stuff Mattress.
 His Den was richly decorated with Trophies of the Chase and the Postman became lop-sided from delivering his Mail.
 There is such thing as being too Popular and that was what ailed Wilbur. He was being passed around all the while and never had time to devote himself to any particular Queen and be- sides he didn't meet very many that were Particular. He fluttered from Flower to Flower and he did not have the Heart to tie up with any one of the Bunch and make her his Steady because he knew that the others would pine away or else renounce the World and enter a Convent.
 One Reason why Wilbur had such a strong Pull with the Buds was that he never permitted his Work to interfere with his Social

owned a Million Dollars apiece, they couldn't see him with Spy Glass.
 They would permit him to go out and call the Carriage, but that was about as far as he could go.
 So he became that pathetic Fig ure. the played-out Beau-the ex- tinct Volcano in the Landscape of Gaiety. He tried to butt in, from Force of Habit, but he had the Ice-Pitcher handed to him so often that at last he got wise to him self and realized that he belonged on the Top Shelf.
 He did what every Man does, viz, the best he can. He hooked up with a Maiden Lady who looked all right in the Dark, and although Bundle of Money came with her, he earned all that he got.
 MORAL: He who nails the First One, seldom makes a Mis- take.

Not Fire-Eaters.

Westerners are not fire-eaters and des- peradoes, as some people seem to think Many of the toughest ones when not un- der the influence of liquor. are kindly, generous fellows who have within them much rugged chivalry.
 For money making western towns pre- sent many opportunities, and with appli- cation and conservatism there is no req son why the young fellows who are al- ways going west should not succeed. Many of them do This element of vigor- ous youth plays a conspicuous part in the life of a western town. Most of the people have not yet had time to grow old Life lacks many of the advantages as well as comforts of the east but it has a strange fascination for young people. and frequently men far advanced In years fall a victim to the alluring possibilities for future wealth in the crude, yet admira- ble western town.

CHARACTERISTICS OF
 A WESTERN TOWN
BY PAUL COOK.

1 with their pipe dreams" of former ex- ploits are more tiresome than otherwise but the really interesting characters and those well worth drawing out, are the old grey-headed scouts miners, and for mer kings of the plains. These men have made records in the early days to be proud of. and they cah give vivid descrip- tions of life in the west forty years ago.
 Part of the Population.
 Another part of the population is com posed of the gamblers and smooth indi- Viduals who prey upon the miners. Every western town has these gentry to put up with, and they are often very successful in their operations. In addition, there is miscellaneous riff raff of spendthrifts drunkards, and wrecks of all kinds who have drifted out here from their homes in the east. Some of them are young and some of them are old, but all are pitifui specimens of fallen humanity. Many had brilliant futures before them in their chosen professions back east, but vice brought them down and. too proud to re- main among former friends, they drifted west
 Every mining town of any importance has its silver, copper or gold king who is the aristocrat of the place. Nearly ali the wealthy mine kings of Utah live in Salt Lake City, but they are to be met with in ogden and other towns where their operations carry them. These mon do much to further the advancement of the towns in which they reside and give llb- erally of their wealth to public and char itable institutions. No wonder that the humber residents point with pride to their achievements.
 Life in a western town is free, breezy and independent The conventions of the east are no restraint on the easy-going Westerner, and he leads his life according to his own sweet pleasure. This absence of conventionality is delightfully."- refresh ing to the customer trammeled by the senseless dictates of fashion or so-called society The people are a cheerful set.

Antnrctic Eccentricitie..

Some of the seamen returned to New
Zealand from the Discovery, who have
had experience of both the arctic and
antarctic, say that the cold in the lat
ter is less severe and the atmosphere
drier. A curious phenomenon they did
not expect and cannot explain is the
fact that the cold winds in the antarc-
tic were usually north, while the com
paratiyely warm winds were southerly.
They saw icebergs Of the most fantas-
tic shapes, resembling houses, church
es and steamers. The sledge dogs
struck work repeatedly. and the men
had to do quite as much pulling as the
animals. In the western sledge jour
ney an ice slide was descended in /
minute and 10 seconds. 1t took three
days TO ascend the same slide on tho
return journey, the sledges being
hauled up by block and pulley.
