smnklnu in the Dark.

According to experts in the tobacco
business the prevailing impression
that a man cannot enjoy a sl-oke IN
the dark is erroneous. 1t all depends
on the cigar. According to the best
authority, sight plays no part in the
enjoyment of smoke, and it IS point
ed out that blind men are most lnVet-
crate smokers; in fact, blind men are
expert in telling good cigar from
poor one, as their sense of smell is SO
we'll developed. A New York cigar
dealer says that one of his best Gus
toners is a blind man and he can tell
a good cigar from bad one by his
sense of smell, even when standing a
yard or more from his counter.
Most smokers do not like to smoke
in the dark. They say it Is necessary
to watch the smoke ascend and to see
the rings curl in order to thoroughly
enjoy it, but cigar dealers say the en-
joyment is really in the taste and not
In the odor, and the sense of taste
needs no light to make smoking enjoy
able.

STONES THAT ARE S0CIABLE
Travelling Pebbles Of Nevada "nen
Separated Move Rapidly Toward
Common Center.

Travelling stones" from the size OF
a pea to six inches in diameter, are
found in Nevada.
When distributed on floor or 9TH
er level surface, within two or three
feet of one another, they Immediately
begin to travel toward common CEN
ter, and there lie huddled like a
clutch of eggs in a nest.
A single stone removed to dis
lance of three and a half feet, upon
being released, at once started with
wonderful and somewhat comical cell
Gritty to join its fellows.
These queer stones are found IN
region that is comparatively level and
little more than bare rock. Scattered
over this barren region are little ba-
sins, from a few feet to rod or two
in diameter, and it is in the bottom OF
these that the rolling stones are found.
The cause for the strange conduct
of these stones is doubtless TO be
found in the material Of which they
are composed, which appears to be
lodestone or magnetic iron ore.-Har'

About the Putterer.

The art of puttering consists OF DO
tng for yourself slowly and inefficient
ly what you can pay some one else
to do for you quickly and well. 1t
Is hard work that you do not have to
do, strenuous loafing that invites the
soul.
The putterer works in pure love,
and if the produce prove poor thing
1t is at least his own. To be a perfect
putterer is to achieve liberal edu-
cation.
Puttering is tonic relaxation from
the mechanical efficiency of our pro-
fesslonal selves, corrective OF the
extreme specialization that otherwise
would result in our becoming all foot
or hand or head. The putterer makes
laws and breaks laws and breaks the
laws he makes. He produces startling
variations from type. An inspired
fool, he is a true creator.-From the
Atlantic.

National Committeeman Wood, who
were fighting President Wilson tooth.

whose control In Michigan since the
election has caused loudly-expressed
dissatisfaction among loyal Wilson
Democrats, more popular way OF
choosing postmasters be adopted-a
caucus of the enrolled Democrats in
the municipality in question, which
shall recommend To President Wilson
q proper man to be appointed.
On March 10, Mr. Beebe wrote to
Gov. Ferris, proposing his plan. The
governor turned il down, at the same
time requesting more information.
On March II. Mr.. Beebe wrote again
to the governor. outlining his plan
more fully. A week later, after Gov
Ferris had announced that he would
have nothing to do with federal pa
tronage in Michigan. but would turn
