Candy For the Battleships.

Many thousands of pounds of high
grade bonbons were supplied to the
vessels of Admiral Evans fleet on the
long cruise to the Pacific. The atti-
tude toward candy has changed Of late
years. 1t is no longer thought childish
or effeminate to eat bonbons. The
medical corps of both services recon-
mend sweets to the men, and the COM
missary makes it easy for them to get
the best. Pure candy and especially
chocolate bonbons Of high grade are
said to lessen the appetite for strong
drink and form one of the best and
most nutritious energy producing foods
known. They are especially recon-
mended for consumption in hot coun-
tries. When the army of occupation
in the Philippines was larger than it
now is many large shipments of good
candy were made to Manila.

Humans and Cigars.

"Some people," said the smoker, ire
mind me of a cigar that burns down
one side faster than the other. I sup
pose you will say that this is because
of an unevenness in temperament
which makes them-well, not wear
smoothly or in an all around fashion.
That may be the obvious parallel to
draw, but I was thinking Of something
else. They seem to me like an uneven
~ burning cigar because their tendency
Is to get ahead of themselves. They
overstep themselves in some important
particular or other. They are too eager,
for one thing, and they show it. They
are too anxious for another, and they
show that. They are too DESTROYS Of
pleasing others for q third. They burn
down, in effect, too quickly on one
side, and most of them never under
stand what is the trouble. I'm not
much of a philosopher, but I can see
that when in the daily routine we show
our hand too much, or, rather, get into
a state of mind when we can't help
showing our hand, the all around re-
suits are not apt to be especially salts
factory. To follow out the cigar smile,
we consume too fast along a special
line of weakness, and a little wind of
