Etiquette of Cuban Smoker.

In many countries, especially In
Spain and Cuba, where the etiquette
of the smoker is most jealously
guarded a man who is smoking must
be sure, when asked by another man
for light, to present his cigar or
cigarette for the purpose. To offer a
match is to imply the social inferiority
of the man who asks for the light, so
that between Two strangers such an
offer is deadly insult. and sometimes
sufficient to cause duel. When, how
ever, the. difference in social grade Is
so marked as to be visible in clothing
and accoutrements the match may be
offered without offense. When the
lighted cigar is offered it must not be
thrown away until the man who has
offered it mas taken at least one NUN.
Otherwise the insult is greater than
would have been the Offering OF the
match.-Philadelph Record.

Putting on Style in Arizona.

Every symptom points to a tend
ency to spread on style in Tombstone.
Among other instances in this direc-
ton, the boys bought a beautiful pair
of barber pole suspenders and pre-
sented them to the amiable dispenser
who shoves the amber extract of
cheerfulness over the mohogany Of the
Parlor saloon. He promptly donned
the innovation, but claimed that he felt
like he had fence rail on each
shoulder. Then, when they became
overburdensome, he would unbutton
them and permit them to dangle in
front, but he has finally got them down
fine enough to go to church in. Sew
eral old-timers, conspicuously court
attendants from the other end of the
cuounty, have fallen into the habit Of
wearing boiled shirts, and it looks as
if sky blue overhauls might be dis
corded SIS a full dress costome. Get

Sturgeon Becoming Scarce.

A sturgeon, weighing 375 pounds,
was captured by a gilnet fisherman
near Astoria few days ago, and sold
for $40. 1t has been less than twenty
years since sturgeon of that size were
almost unstable, and thousands OF
pounds of the big fish have been cart
ed off the Portland docks for ferti-
hzer. after the consignees had refused
to pay the steamboat freight on them.
The prodigal waste of these fish few
years ago, when their value was not
appreciated, has depleted the supply
to such an extent that they are now
almost extinct. 1t requires nearly as
much time to produce a 375-pound
sturgeon as II does to produce a six
foot saw log, and the time is ap-
preaching when the big saw log, like
the big sturgeon will pass out of ex-
istnce, with nothing growing up Ia
takes its place.-Portland Oregonian

THE LANGUAGE OF THE CAT.
Like the Monkey He has His Own
Peculiar calls.

Caleb Johnson, of Unity, Mo-, has
emulated Prof. Garner, of monkey
language fame, by staying at home and
studying the speach of cats. Johnson
Is a man of liberal education, having
been graduated from an Eastern col.
lege, who prefers to live the life OF
hemit, surrounded by forty-eight cats
to mingling with the world and deal
ing with more commonplace situations.
He lives alone and from morning to
night makes records on phonograph
of his pets caterwauling.
1t is his contention that cats have a
medium of communication based on
the new, purr and more stringent
notes of their vocal organs. He
claims to have classified the different
calls for various kinds Of food and
drink, and maintains that he can tell
by the infection of the cats voice
whether the animal wants water or
milk. When one of his pets is hungry
he locks it up in q room with a phono-
graph loaded with the receiving record
When well fed and contented he places
a machine by the sleeping creature
and catches every sound.
Some of the simpler folks in the
neighborhood look upon Mr.. Johnson as
uncanny. The specticle of tall, gaunt
man standing in the middle of the road,
holding animated conversation with 4
big tomcat strikes them as being very
queer.

Bathers' Safety Appliance,

A big impetus has been given to
trade in life preservers and kindred
devices by the General Socum disas-
ter. In some lines Of goods business
has acquired such stimulous that ad-
yanced prices are being asked. A
aovelty is safety swimming sleeve -
The swimmer initiates the sleeves by
blowing into a rubber tubing which
connects them, the escape of air is cut
of by a screw such as Is used on a
bicycle. The inflated sleeves go under
or over the sleeves of bathing suit,
lust as the bather prefers. The rubber
tubing which connects the sleeves
hang about the neck. The manufac
turer of the contrivance calls it life

Tattooinu In London.

In London and many of the conti-
mental cities tattooing is at present
very popular and in the city named
two or three men who have acquired
considerable skill in this novel art are
rapidly making a fortune. One of them
claims to have already tattooed 15,-
900 persons, of whom 1,500 were
women. On two of these women he
has done his best work, reproducing
on one with his needle the famous
Descent from the Cross" and on the
other the"Ecce Homo" He has also
drawn numerous portraits of men and
women and has inscribed many mot
toes in the Abyssinian, Chinese and
Arabic tongues. Moreover he has tat
tooed marriage rings on the fingers
of many women, who desire in this way
TO give proof of their eternal fidelity
to their husbands. Automobiles being
now in fashion, several persons who
arc fond of this new sport have had
their carriages tattooed on their crms
and IL is even said that in some cases
the name and address have been
added, with the object of providing
adequate marks of idntifcation in casa
Of accident.

Bells to Prevent Storms.

An instance of the absurdity of
some of the notions held by our an
cesters was the notion that the ring
ing of church bells had counteract-
ing effect in a thunderstorm. 1t was
suppose that the vibration of the
air caused by the movement of the
bells resulted in the dissipation of the
electric fluid in the air. The belief
was so common at one time that the
priests had the bells rung as soon as
signs of an approaching thundertorm
was seen. Science now holds con
trary opinion. Not only does the
sound have no possible effect on the
air, but the vibration created by the
sound of bell upon a cloud charged
with electricity may cause it to dis
charge it's contents upon the ringer
of the bell in the church tower.

ABSENT -MINDEDNESS.
A Suggestion for Cure-Concentratio
10 the Secret for Presence
OF Mind.

The little bride who started to the
alter wearing her "gumshoes" over
her satin slippers was an awful OK
ample of the absent-minded woman
who is with US today in most cX-
aggrated form. She turns on tho
water when size meant to light the
gas; locks the safe. but forgets to put
her Jewels in It; leaves her umbrella
at the shop counter and sets tho
whole department store on edge look
ing for It; orders three yards OF rib
bon cut off and then discovers that
she only wanted three-quarters of a
yard, and otherwise turns the world
topsy-turvy.
Now, there is some excuse for a
man who is absent-minded. Men arc
supposed to be so busy thinking shout
the big things of this life that they
have no time to bother with the little
ones. The noble creature who is MAX
ing a million in Wall street cannot
be expected to remember to bring
home a spool of thread and piece OF
blotting paper. AS yet he may have
gotten only as far as a twenty-dollar
salary, but that million is already
buzzing in his brain, to the exclusion
of small gnats. Besides, 1t is n wo-
mans duty only to think of the little
things; and there isn't a mortal wo-
man living who would not give two
fingers to be able to remember and
attend to each detail in the right way
and at the right moment. II saves so
much time and energy, and mental
worry to keep ones wits about one.
Yet with all the jokes which have
been written upon the ahsonrmin'cd
ones, there has never been a single
cure offered or suggested.
Absentmindedness is a habit. Wo
have gotten in the way of living
ahead Of ourselves. We try to tlinlS
ahead of what we are doing, and
thereby become jumbled. We read the
evening papers in the morning, buy
our summer clothes In January and
have our fur coats made over in July
The woman who lives and thinks
ahead of herself dosn't gain time;
she only loses equilibrium. While she
is making the coffee for breakfast she
is planning a new hat; while she Is
buying the hat she is thinking of the
frock she will get to match it; while
the frook is being fitted, she is de-
Gliding to give tea where she may
wear it. She never thinks Of the
thing she is doing at the moment
when she is doing it. And yet that is
the secret for the cure of absent
mindedness, blues and every kind Of
/ neryousness
1t sounds wonderfully easy, but 1t
is not. Try it for whole day. Keep
your mind on what you are doing
every single moment, even If it's
only threading needle or sitting
still in a street car. Don't dream
don't get ahead of yourself. Do every
thing that you undertake to do as il
that was the one and last thing you
were going to accomplish in this life
II you merely stoop over to pick up 6
scrap from the floor put your entire
thought upon the act of the moment
and see how much mere easily a2t
quickly 1t is accomplished.
Concentration is the secret Of pres
ense of mind. The woman wso ha!
presence of mind is, of all her sex
most to be envied, for she gains
thereby pose, force and reserve
power, which the absent-minded wo
man never can attain.

Miniature Railway.

Germany possesses miniature but
most useful railway to which no par
allel is found in this country. Its
popularity is that its trains have no
drivers. 1t is used for carrying salt
from the salt mines at Stasfurt. The
trains consist of thirty trucks, each
carrying half ton of salt. The en-
gines are electric, of "a horsepower
each. AS it approaches station, Of
which there are five along the line, the
train automatically rings bell and
the station attendent turns switch to
receive it. He is able to stop 1t at any
moment. To start it again he stands
or the locomotive, switches the cur
rent and then descends again before
the engine has gained speed.
