Cigarette Fingers.

In recent county court action is was
stated as evidence of the debtors means
that his fingers were so stained with
cigarettes that he was evidently n persist
ent smoker. The Judge, however, refused
to listen to this novel theory. All smok-
ers, Of course, know that the unsightly
stains caused by cigarettes are not due
50 much to excessive smoking as to the
manner in which the cigarette is held in
the fingers. If the cigarette when not
between the lips is held with the lighted
end downward three or four Cigarettes a
day are sufficient to leave their marks on
the fingers of the smoker. The man,
however, who always holds his cigarette
with the lighted end upward may smoke
as many as twenty a day without discol-
oring his fingers. All artists and most
chess players who happen to be cigarette
smokers invariably hold their cigarettes
with the lighted end up, and consequently
seem to smoi far more than is actually

BLOOD IN THE BEARINGS.
How American Engineers Kept Hindus
from Stealing Oil in Machinery.

When the American engineers were
building an electric power station in the
Mysore territory in southern India they
found that something was wrong with the
fabrication of the machinery. The oil dis
appeared. They discovered that a Hindu
must. by his religion, take a periodical
bath in oil. To him oil is oil. The work
men had drained the bearings for bathing
purposes. How to stop the thieving was
a puzzlng problem until some one solved
it, The Hindu does not eat meat, and he
will not touch anything that has blood in
it. two or three animals were killed,
therefore, and blood was dripped into tho
bearings. There was no more stealing Of
oil. however many other things were
stolen.-The Worlds Work.

SICILIAN PRINCE
PULLED OUT OF SAND

New York. Nov. 2S.-After lying
fast in the sand near Point Lookout
off the Long Island shore, since early
Sunday morning. the Prince line
steamship Sicilian Prince was hoated
at high tide. According to the marine
observers who have watched the ves-
sci since she first went ashore. the
liner is not damaged TO any great ex-
tent
The sea was not heavy and the
wind was light. so that the ship was in
little danger of pounding Sea anchors
and tug boats prevented her being
pushed harder into the sand. At the
food tide the wrecking vessels took
hawsers and after little straining
the Prince liner backed Off into deep
water.
