4 Dark Smoke.

Funny thing about smoking! If
man were compelled to puff a good
cigar with his eyes Shut the operation
would lose it's Zest. a man who had
undergone Il slight operation upon one
of his eyes had to stay in darkened
room for week with his optics band
aged. After Il few days his doctor
told him he could take a gentle smoke
If he liked. He jumped at the chance
and to his amazement found it af
fOrded not the slightest pleasure. To
be sure, men often smoke in the dark
but there's always the rosy glow Of
the lighted end to be seen and the
faint outline of the cloud Of smoke in
the air. There's no more fun in a
sightless smoke than saltless egg or
a kiss implanted upon your own hand
What's the psychology Of it.-New

A FAMOUS DWARF.

BoruIwask, the Pole, Was Handsome,
Scholarly and Witty.
A notable dwarf, who had a long
lease of life over parts of two centu-
ries-he was born in 1889 and died in
1S37-was Borulwaski. the Pole, Of
whose debut an interesting tale is
told. AS boy of fifteen, when he
was just one inch higher than a two
foot rule, Borulwaski was presented
to the Empress Maria Theresa, who
was so charmed by his good looks and
grace that she seated him on her zap
and gave him a hearty kiss. To the
queens question as to what he con-
sidered the most interesting sight in
Vienna the dwarf replied, what |
now behold, 50 little a man on the lap
Of so great lady" This speech rem
dered the little fellow great favor
ite.
He became a special favOrite of
Stanislaus H., who took him to Eng
land and introduced him to George
Ill, and for more than half century
BOrulwaski made his home at the
English court.
This dwarf, who at his tallest was
q yard and three inches, had a sister
whose head just reached her big broth
er's shoulders. Borulwaski was not
only a handsome and courtly man, but
a scholar of repute. He lived in five
reigns, and when he died, lacking only
two years of reaching the century
mark, he was laid to rest in Durham,
