Advice to Smokers.

Here are a number of dOn'ts fol smokers. some of which no doubt will surprise good many men: Don't smoke directly after a meal. There is the most irresistible craving to smoke but it is wiser to wait half hour Or an hour. Don't smoke out of doors in a high wind or in cold, frosty weather. In the former case it is dan. gerous, and in the latter it cracks the lips and prevents proper breathing Don't smoke with the cigar or pipe held at the corner of the mouth. This excites the secretion of more saliva than when the cigar or pipe is held straight in front. And, above all. don't get in the bad habit of expecto. rating frequently when smoking. Ii is quite unnecessary and merely a hab- it and harmful.-St Louis Post Dis. patch.

At Brockton on Tuesday night Ted Lewis. who is now a Gray with Provi- dence was the whole works. Provi- dence won 6-4. The first three goals of the game were made by the ex- BriGgepOrter at almost a goal-a-minuta 3 gait. BrocktOn then took a stride and tied matters but again Lewis was on hand and with two more goals this time in less than a minute electrified the immense crowd.
 The Providence team has taken a great brace since Lewis joined tn 7m, This seems to be the case with all the teams that have received our ex-stars.
 New Britain like New Haven led the league when they were transferred but fell down with crash. Will Lynn re- peat the performance?
 New Bedford won from Worcester at tho latter town last night in a great game This is the first home game Worcester has lost on her own floor in a long time. Jimmy Canavan was in the New Bedford line up.
 Sam Simmons was in town yesterday and was looking the field over for polo next season at the request of several managers. The genial Sam says there will surely be polo in Connecticut next year and he hopes that Bridgeport will be represented since he regards this city as the best town in the state from all points of view. Sam's New York State team closed their season last Saturday night.

BRIDGES BLOWN UP, WIRES CUT
FORCE OF SCOUTS AND
RALLooNISTS.

Boston, Aug. 15.-The beginning o
the war in southeastern Massachusetts
was postponed last night from mid
night to Sunday morning, on account
of the non-arriyal of one of the
"enemy's' transports.
Last night the headquarters of the
blue" army was near Bridgewater.
The whole line is about IL miles IN
length. Arrangements for concentrat-
ing the Massachusetts army of 1000
was carried out with precision, fol-
lowing the receipt of the news of the
enemys approach. At the headquar-
ters placards indicated that the
bridges had been theoretically" de
stroyed, or trees felled theoretically
across the highways. Dynamite fuses
will be carried and actually placed in
position under the bridges. But in
stead of igniting the fuses, placards
will be tied ON the bridges to notify
the enemy that theoretically the
bridge is gone and that he either will
have to build a pontoon or ford the
shallower streams.
A large part Of the invading army
landed on the coast Of Buzzards Bay.
According to the rules Of the game,
all telegraph and telephone lines are
supposed to have been cut and news
of the landing places supposedly was
learned by scouts, possibly balloons,
Transports bearing the red troops
consisted of the steamers, Puritan, Pill
grim, Boston, City of Taunton, and
the army troopships are Mcclellan,

oornsr in Three-cent Piecea.

The disappearance of the Scent piece has
for years been a matter of mild specula-
ton. Few persons are aware that n large
proportion Of the coins Of this denomination
which remained in circulation when tho
government stopped issuing them are peace
fully slumbering in sundry large fat canvas
bags in the vaults of n certain electrical
manufacturing company OF Chicago. They
are not for sale just yet.
Zach Of the coins Is an evidence Of petit
larceny.
Years ago the company equipped many
telephone pay stations with dime slot ma
chimes. II was supposed that they could
be worked only with dimes. The scent
pieces were becoming rare and no thought
was taken Of them.
Hardly six months passed before one
OF the telephone companies discovered that
the collectors were yielding a harvest OF g.
cent pieces. Then from all over the coun-
try came similar complaints.
Each company forwarded the pieces to
the manufacturing company and more or
less politely asked that a corresponding
number Of dimes or q check for an equiv
alent amount be sent back In exchange.
A council was held at the office OF the
manufacturing company. The cost OF cor
recting the boxes was compared with fairly
trustworthy Information Of the number OF
s-cent pieces in circulation. It was found
that a balance was in favor Of the Scent
pieces and It was decided to accept the
pieces as dimes
Gradually the inpour OF Scent pieces
narrowed down to IN intermittent current.
The company seemed to have about all the
pieces.

Once there was a little boy whose name

When the day came Harry went and asked
his mother IL he might go. She told -
the Ice was too thin and said he couldn't
so. Harry got up. took his skates. slammed
the door and said. I hate you now, mother.
The sick mother fell back on her pillow
with q groan. Later In the day they
brought Harry home. Two men were
carrying him. He had fallen In the water.
They took him into his little bedroom and
as he lay there he was not content. He
wanted TO see his mother.
But the nurse said he could not see her
yet. Later on he was told that she was
dead and had died from heart failure. And
