and other wizards, transferring bare

By an arrangement recently made be-
tween transportation company and
the railroads it is believed there will be
no delay in delivering the many train
loads Of exhibits within the gates of
the Exposition. Extensive preparations
have been perfected to handle all
freight that comes into the city. and, in
addition to service by system of big
drays-some propelled by steam. others
drawn by horses-which is designed for
the smaller shipments, car load lots
will enter direct over the several switch
lines that wind in and out between the
buildings.
In order that no delay might be
caused by severity of the weather the
Exposition management looked espe
cially to the construction Of the road

now there Is no danger that heavy

which controls all shipments Of freight
delivered by roads from the east, has
doubled its capacity for handling
freight in both the st. Louis and East
st. Louis yards. and it is now believed
that during the busiest weeks. which
will undoubtedly be those of March and
April. there will be no congestion
across the two big bridges that span
the Mississippi. Should there be. how
ever, resort can be had to the ferry
service. which also has been increased
in order to care for any emergency
Shippers all agree that freight Is ar
irving in St. Louis better today than
ever before, and this Notwithstanding
the fact that the terminal facilities are
not quite completed and that a number
Of tracks cannot be operated because

construction. A recent test proved that

was delivered in a building on the Fair
grounds seven days after its shipment

Roberts, we can rest secure and salts
fled. The complaint is often heard
that gold as currency in coin and GER
tificates involves too heavy a burden
of cost. This ratio of the total circula
ton in the United States is 1876. Bank
notes are ss souEd and strong as the
credit of the United States, that is to
say, as minted gold, and as human in
genuity can secure. They constitute
only l7.2 per cent. Of the total circula'
tion. They are, hover, not legal ten

Nevertheless, Mr.. Roberts thinks
that in view of the large additions to
bank notes in circulation during the
past year, "no need exists for artificial
methods to incite to more rapid and
abnormal growth"

EARN A LIVING BY SMOKING.
Professional Colorers Of Meerschaum Pipes
Wretched Set.
Louisville Herald

"With the growth Of the hobby OF
smoking meerschaum pipes" said Ike
Hafendorier, of Philadelphia, "there
have sprung up concerns which make
a business of coloring these pipes.
How do they do itf Well, in the
most natural way imaginable. By
smoking them. In Paris there are
two firms which employ about a thous-
and men to do nothing but smoke.
They are paid 20 cents an hour. They
smoke mild tobacco in order that they
can smoke q great length of time
without getting headache.
al have seen these men at work.
They are q queer set. Some of them
are persons of high educational at
tainments, who, being out of employ
ment, do not object to sitting in a
cool spot, reading and smoking. It's
a snap for them.
"Others OF these hired smokers are
ignorant fellows, who never achieved
success in anything but smoking.
"a few women are in the gathering,
but they are all sorry-looking wrecks.
"Some of the smokers are diseased.
Many OF them have consumption.
But this does not endanger the per-
son who buys the fine meerschaum
pipe later on, for the pipes are boiled
and baked to eliminate all germs.
"The officers in Paris are trying to
break up this business, claiming that
it endangers the health of the hire
lincs"
