How to find your sensible cigarette

The cigarette that you'll
stick TO when you find it
must make good" to you
in three different ways.
1t must delight your
taste.
1t must be cool and
friendly to your throat and
tongue.
1t must leave you feeling
as fit as a fiddle at the end
of a rd-smoking day.
On the last two points we
match Fatima against any
cigarette in the world-it
can't be beaten. You can
prove that by these two
tests.
But when ii comes to
taste, that's up to you.

There's no telling-until you
try them-Whether Fatimas
will just suit your taste or
not.
They are the biggest SELL
ing cigarette in the world
costing over SC. Ifso many
thousands of men prefer
Fatima's taste, it's pretty
sure that you will, too.

taste as well as most men,

are the most SENSIBLE
cigarette you can buy.

Earliest School Books.

Among the discoveries in the archaeo-
logical excavations in ancient Baby
lonia are some stone tablets believed
to have been used as schoolbooks in
the first regular school ever held in
the world. They are in the collection
of the University of Pennsylvania.
These prehistoric text books have
marks proving that they were used in
asschooI conducted in a temple in Nip
pur more than $500 years B. c. This
school is known to have been in ex-
istence at least 1000 years, and no
records have yet been found to indi-
cate the existence of any preceding it.
The tablets contain notes upon several
sciences, evidently made upon the
stone surface by stylus. Several of
them contain two forms of characters,
indicating that the pupils attempted
to copy the work Of the teacher.

Biz and Little Bibles.

There are no fewer than 10 different
editions of the Oxford Bible in Eng
lish, varying from the magnificent folio
edition for pulpit purposes to the bril-
liant" Bible, the smallest edition of the
Scriptures in the world. Of the revised
version fourteen editions are published.
More than a million copies of the re-
vised New Testament had been ordered
before the day of publication in May of
1881, and it is claimed that the work
ingmen of the establishment refused a
bride Of some $4,000 to furnish a copy
of the book before the day Of issue.
The largest folio Bible printed in Ok
ford measures 10 by u inches, and no
erratum has as yet been found in it..
The brilliant Text Bible measures

Two Medical Men.

Some time ago during a performance
Sir Herbert Tree had the misfortune to
slip while going from his dressing
room to the stage and injure his shout
der rather badly He was in great
pain, but pluckily determined to go
through with his part, and just as he
was about to make his entrance on the
stage he whispered to some one in the
wings:
"Send for a doctor"
When the scene was over the doctor
had not arrived, so Sir Herbert told
one Of the stage hands to go around to
the front of the theater to see if he
could find a medical man among the
audience Shortly afterward the stage
hand returned, proudly and breathless-
ly, in company with two professional
gentlemen
zone of them" says Sir Herbert sad
" when he tells the story, was a vet
and the other was dentist!'

When Your Foot Is Asleep.

After being for long time in a con-
strained attitude a peculiar numbness
and pricking are often felt in the arm,
leg or foot. This is caused by some in
terruption to the circulation and can
usually be removed by rubbing or ex-
ercise The reason Of the sensation,
which is decidedly uncomfortable while
it lasts, is that pressure for certain
length of time deadens the sensibility
of a nerve. When this pressure is sud
denly removed, as Strengthening out
the leg after sitting with it doubled I'M
derneath the body, sensibilitv gradual

Making a Scrap Book.

Mankind may be divided into two
classes, those who preserve fugitive
clippings and those who don't. Among
the former are many who for lack of
classification become victims of their
own belongings. They clip assiduous-
ly, they lay aside newspapers contain
ing articles they wish to keep for ref
erence, and they postpone the task of
sorting and arrangement to the rainy
day or the interval of leisure which
never arrives. Presently they are dis
mayed to find themselves confronted
by pile Of ephemeral literature noun
tain high, wherein it seems hopeless
even to blaze trail That is where the
person of meticulous, orderly habits
shows his irritating superiority. With
him day unto day has uttered wisdom;
he has tabulated and pigeOnholed his
stores as they came to his hand. 1t
does not prove that you are literary
and learned to raise a vast rubbish
heap around yourself or to live in a
ruin that suggests the visit of a Zeppe-
lin. Those who keep scrapbooks are
likely to reckon them among the most
precious items in their nbraries.-Phil-

List and LEIPZIG.

After young Felix Weingartner had
finished his work at the Leipzig con-
servatory he went, as was the fashion
at that time, to present himself to
Franz List at Weimar Now, Leipzig,
conservative in music then, as it is to-
day, had never received the works Of
Franz List with sufficient warmth to
please him. In fact Leipzig had shown
itself quite unfriendIy toward his COM
positions, and the great master of the
piano resented it. Weingartner was
presented.

Hops as a Vegetable.

OF hops for the brewing vat we hear
a good deal. but what of hops as veg
etable? The Romans ate them, and
the Germans, at least the Bavarians,
do so, while our own old fashioned
country folk can relish a dish Of chop
tops" Here is the recipe: Take only
the very young shoots, which boil.
Serve either with melted butter and a
little gravy or with the plain salad
dressing composed of oil, vinegar, pep

SOCIETY 5 ] M [ SCRAMBLED AT
 ANCHORAGE

Society at Anchorage, the new gov ernment railroad town, has been, and still is, in a sad state of uncertainty, largely as to what particular citizens are entitled to rank as the socially elect, but primarily over the matter of precedence at receptions, dinners and other smart functions. It seems to be conceded without debate that the wife of the resident commissioner, Lieut., Frederick Mears, is entitled to recognition as the supreme head of Anchorage society; but with that con cession made, all further agreement has so far been impossible. Of course the matter is entirely in the hands of the ladies; the masculine mind being of too coarse fibre to grasp the fine distinctions by which social worth is differentiated. Those ladies whose husbands draw the biggest wages are firm in the conviction that by some subtle process clear to themselves their social texture is much superior to that of the wives of men whose emoluments are less considerable, and very naturally refuse to receive or re- turn their calls.
 Formerly a spasmodic attempt was made by few particularly attractive young danes to have personal beauty recognized as the passport to social supremacy, but as most of the town was ineligible under this plan, it was quickly ridiculed to death.
 A very charming, but decidedly ori- ginal, young woman of Vassar college antecedents attempted to untangle the knotty situation by promoting club, to which only ladies of superior culti- vation and good breeding should be admitted; these only to constitute the real simon pure authenticated social rowdy dows. Unfortunately the plan developed immediate and overwhelm- ing opposition, not only in the high wage circles, but particularly among the members of the old established families; many of whom have lived in Anchorage since the founding of

the town, almost n year ago, and na- turally, resent the presumption of up- starts, as newcomers are designated.
 While things are in bad way, which promises to grow worse, the indications are that social status will finally come to be settled on a wage basis. Indeed, it is probable this plan would readily find tacit acceptance if the engineering commission could ar range fixed and unchangeable sche- dule of wages. The law of social pre- cedence would then become, as the saying is, immutable. Unfortunately, under existing conditions, the hus- hands won't stay put; some of them advancing to bigger positions carrying higher wages, while yet others are occasionally reduced. This scrambles the sdcial fabric frightfully. Not in frequently a lady whose husband is,
 
 say, $50 man, will receive a call from another lady in the same class, but before she can return the call her husbands wages are changed. If the change of wage is an increase it is beneath her dignity to return the call; whereas. if it were reduction she's in for a snub if she presumes to return it. So much friction has arisen that a bunch of fool men recently at tempted to interfere and suggest a basis upon which all could live in friendliness, with the net result that half the women of the town ceased speaking to them, and the other half would only speak to call them names. Since then the men have kept hands off-Pittsburg Dispatch, correspond ence of T. B. Drayton, of Knik.
