FAMOUS JOKE Is RECALLED.
Sydney Smiths Method to Get Fun
Out of a Scotchman.

From London Sketch.
At the Associated Booksellers dinner In
Edinburgh the other week story Illus
trating one of Sydney Smiths most famous
Jokes was recalled. All the world knows
sydney Smiths saying that 1t required
surgical operation to get joke into a
Scotsman's head. But in 1874 he supplied
a Scotsman with a consolatory interpreta-
ton of this dictum.
When William Chambers. the publisher.
was visiting London In 1874 there drove up
TO the door of his lodgings in Greek street.
soho an old family coach drawn by pair
of sleek horses From this descended an
aged gentleman. who. from his shovel hat
and black CATERS. was seen TO be an &c
clesiastical dignitary. He was ushered in
and his name announced. REV. Sydney
Smith,
said Sydney. There is nothing at all
strange about it. The originator of the
Edinburgh Review has come to see the
originator of the Edinburgh Journal
Smith talked about old times in Edin-
burgh. He made some little inquiry about
Chambers own early efforts and he
laughed when Chambers reminded him or
saying of his own about studying on
little oatmeal.
.sAh labora, iabora.' ne said sententious-
ly. How that word expresses the char
acter of your country"
We'll. we do sometimes work pretty
hard" observed Chambers, but for all
that we can relish pleasantly as much
as our neighbors. You must have seen that
the Scotch have considerable fund OF
humor."
You are an Immensely funny people, but
you need little operating upon TO let the
fun out. know no Instrument 70 effectuai
for the purpose as the corksorew."

SMOKING NO FUN IN THE DARK.
Test Proves That Enjoyment Consists
in Watching Smoke.

From the New York Globe.
Whether or not eyesight is necessary TO
a smoker for him to determine IL his cigar
is lighted was put to the test today In a
room In the Hotel Cadillac by a number of
veterans of the weed.
THAT'S all nonsense" said one smoker,
this here talk about blind men not srnok-
In because they can't see. What has sight
got to do with it? You don't smoke to please
your eyes
well, I'll tell you" broke in another.
II never find any satisfaction in smoking
In the dark. The real pleasure comes from
seeing the smoke. Now, L guess that
what's the matter with the blind man."
Lets test the matter, suggested third
II don't think fellow with his eyes shut
could tell whether his cigar was lit or not
if he didn't inhale the smoke or get his
fingers burned. Suppose we do the blind
fold act?"
Eighteen smokers sat in line and cracked
Jokes while handkerchiefs were being tied
across their eyes.
Now. no peepin',' was the order. and
lighted cigars and non-lighted cigars were
produced. Between the teeth of each man
a cigar was placed-a cigar to which
light had never been applied.
Each man pulled as hard as an irish Ia
borer on his 'dudeen'' packed with Limerick
twist" and blew away the smoke-which
was not in existence
Then the uSnteu cigars were ms ouuSeu
and the men pulled" as before, all acting
honestly, save one, who took the smoke
into his lungs.
When the handkerchiefs were removed
every man of the eighteen confessed that
lighted or non-ighted the cigar was all the
same to him.
Not one of them could tell any difference
between the cigar which was not lighted
and that which was, and 1t was conceded
without discussion as the crowd lined up
against the bar that blind man could not
enjoy a smoke, and neither could man
sitting in the dark.
