CIGAROLOGY is new
Manner of Holding Cigar Be.
trays Smokers Character.

NEW YORK, March 26-For many
years there have been men who claim
to be able to judge the character of
smoker by the manner in which he
holds his cigar.
1t has remained, however, for Euro
pean psychologist to reduce these OBJ
servations to a science.
1t is claimed that by following the
rules formulated for the study of cigar
ology as the new science has been
| named, the character of a stranger who
is smoking cigar may be discovered
| more readily than in any other man
| ner man may smile and smile and
be villain, but when he lights a
cigar he unmasks himself at once to
the genealogical student
Here are the results Of the psychol-
ogist's observations and deductions,
given for what they are worth:
"Fastidious men, after lighting their
cigars, hold them not only between
their lips, but also with two, three,
four or even with all the fingers of
the left hand, and, after smoking for
a while, they remove them from their
mouths and examine the lighted ends
carefully to see if everything is in
ing steadily and evenly. Men who act
thus never waste any words and are
generally shrewd and prudent. AS a
rule they are worthy of confidence
which cannot be said of those who send
forth the smoke from the two corners
of their mouths in two divergent jets,
since they are eccentric and unreliable
Men who are quick tempered or of
lively temperament hardly touch the
tip Of the cigar with their teeth, and
after two or three puffs they take it
from the mouth and hold it in the hand.
In other matters they act similarly;
that is they do everything by fits and
starts and find it impossible to adhere
very long to any fixed course of ac-
ton
absent minded men, on the other
hand, frequently let the cigar go out,
and, if they are not very choice in
their taste, try to light it again. Akin
to them are the men who, after smok-
ing for a while, let the cigar go out
and then throw it away-an infallible
sign of mind which may be very in
tuitive, but which is certainly not able
to reason well or logically. They, how
ever, are admirable persons when COM
pared with those who at any time have
the misfortune to place the lighted end
of a cigar in their mouth. The mere
fact that they commit such blunder
is evidence of extreme thoughtlessness.
"a cigar tilted upward is an unerring
token Of an energetic and impatient
character. On the contrary, cigar
which is held in the other direction
namely, inclined toward the chin-be-
tokens melancholy and the habit of
indulging in day dreams. When a cigar
is held steadily in a horizontal posi-

EAGLE CAPTURED 500
MILES OUT AT SEA
Bird Refuses to Eat and Dies After
Three Days Confinement.

PENSACOLA, Fla, March 26.-The
fishing schooner Kwasind, which has
arrived here from the fishing banks,
brought in the claws of an immense
eagle which had been caught while the
vessel was about 500 miles out at sea,
The master reported that during a
storm the eagle lighted on one of the
spars, where it remained for about
three hours.
Darkness came on, and then one OF
the crew climbed aloft and threw line
over the birds neck. The eagle was
pulled from it's perch and captured

the fact that the eagle refused to eat
resulted in it's death in three days.
The men saved the feet and wings
and brought them to port. This is the
only case known where an eagle has

$4,000 ACRES OF ORCHARD.
Report Of State Horticultural
Board SUGGEST legislation.

The state board of horticulture
inspection has submitted its ben
NAL report to Governor Morrison.
DR.. H. P. Ustick, the president
of the board, in transmitting the
report to the governor, among other
things said:
"There is at this time III this
state total of something over
As, 900 acres Of orchard. i.
To inspect this vast amount OF
orchard ground, scattered over SO
large territory, has been an I'M
possible task for the ten man, al
though they have been faithful and
active in their duties in the limired
time allotted to each one. The
horticultural interests of this state
are becoming SO great that with the
prospect near at hand of one-third
more being planted in the coming
spring, it will be readily seen that
the funds for the carrying on OF
this work are entirely too small,
and that the industry itself will, in
the near future, be second to none
in our state, and, in fact, will pro-
badly lead in the matter of revenue.
''We have been hampered in an
other way. The law provides that
the property of non-residents shall
be put in perfect order, without
providing the means for so doing.
We would suggest that in the ap-
preparation for the next two years
there be at least $4,000 set aside
that can be used for cleaning up,
spraying or destroying orchards
that are in bad condition, belong
ing to these non-residents. The
expense SO incurred, according to
law, becomes lien upon the prop
erty and when collected is returna-
bic to the state. Thus you will see
that the $4,000 asked for this pur-
pose would be in the nature of
ready money and as loan rather
than as positive appropriation.
with the increase Of acreage
and the inability of the inspectors
with the present appropriation to
properly cover the ground, it is
needful that the coming legislature
look into this matter thoroughly
and make such appropriation as
will be adequate to the needs Of the
industry
"The outlook for orchard plant
ing in the next two years is very
promising; at the present time
thousands of acres are being con-
templated.
Probably the most active opera
tions viii be along the Snake river
where large irrigation projects are
being established.

The Salvation Army and Christmas.

Christmas day, the anniversary
of the Savior's birth, with all that
event meant III bringing joy, hope
and eternal salvation within the
reach of all men, should certainly
be made as cheerful and happy a
day as it can possibly be made, and
it was with the idea Of bringing
this to pass in the lives of the very
poor that our Christmasdinner effort
which extends to every city, town
and village in America where
Salvation Army corps exists, was
inaugurated. Six years ago twenty
thousand poor were invited to our
Christmas dinner, and fifty thous-
and accepted. The next year the
number was increased to one hun
dred thousand, a year later and
fifty thousand accepted it. The
next year the number was increas-
ed to one hundred thousand, a year
later to two hundred thousand, and
SO on, until last year the total
reached about three hundred thous-
and. Ultimately, I have no doubt,
this beautiful and graceful act of
Christian courtesy will be extend
ed to- embrace the poor of every ma
ton in the world.
The dinners are given by two
methods First, by the distribu-
ton of we'll filled baskets of cooked
food, containing ample food of
great variety, for a family Of five
persons; second, by the regalement
OF our guests at heavenly laden ta-
bles by means of well-cooked,
steaming hot food in suitable halls
hired tor the purpose. In many
places additional help is rendered
by means of free clothing counter,
where warm garments for both
sexes are distributed among spec
tally needy cases. December Wo-

A COWBOY SCHOOL.
Where Men May Be Instructed in Rough
Riding

Observers have been disposed to de.
plore the decline. and the apparently in
evitable disappearance, Of the cowboy.
With the destruction of the grazing
grounds for cattle, and the changes which
Will hereafter prevent the driving of
herds over Il vast extent Of territory the
nature of the cowboys work and there
fore of his disposition will be affected. 1t
was the ambition of every young man
who enlisted as Il herder to become a
matchless rider, and the diabolical char
acter of the far west burro offered oppor-
tunltles to meet difficulties in riding. One
result was that the thoroughbred cowboy
was as much at home OH the horse as is Il
grandmother in her rocking chair As a
pistol and rifle shot he gained a high
plane. When the war with Spain was
declared it was the instant idea of Presi~
dent Roosevelt and Of ambitious patriots
on the frontier to organize regiments of
rough riders, to be composed mainly Of
the hardy and fearless COWBOYS. The
promptness with which the navy did its
work left little for the rough riders to
GO; but 1t was apparent that in event of a
prolonged war they would make a new
record OF efhclency for mounted men. 1t
Is this which has caused some persons to
regret the loss of the best school of rough
riding
Another reason why it is desirable 10
have ready cowboys from whom to draw
light and reckless cavalry force is that
several European nations make it a point
to drill soldiers in riding as men have
never been drilled before, even for the
circus. Perhaps the most daring exploits
are demanded Of the military horsemen of
Italy although the French and the Ger
mans are by no means lax in their train
ing. Men and horses are drilled in the arr
Of descending the most precipitous hills
decivities down which most athletes
would hesitate to go afoot and with AL
pine sticks. Leaping over obstacles is
carried to dangerous height. and in
short everything the most spirited cowboy
would undertake is made a part of the
system.
1t is from lively appreciation Of these
facts that Buffalo BILL who has profit
ed more than any other man from cowboy
exhibitions of skill, has organized a com
pany to establish peculiar military acad-
envy III Wyoming, of which the main fea-
ture will be rough riding. 1t is intimated
that Gen Miles will take leading part
III devising a scheme of instruction. Be
sides the young Americans who will CON
stltute the most of the pupils, a consider
able number Of English boys will matric-
ulate at the opening. -Philadelphia Rec
