Smoke Slowly and Avoid Cancer. From the medical profession comes a fwarninc, to smokers. If you wish to avoid tobacco cancer don‘t smoke fast !

Men who smoke long stmnmm‘. 1pipes. it is said. do not have away. 7 no matter how much they smoke. Wllim 3 those who indulge in c'gars or short stemmed pipes are afflicted by this malignant growth.

An avenger need not necessarily be a naturalist, but there are cases where he would take his vengeance mone to the purpose if he knew the habits of his victim. Lippincott’s Magazine tcils a story of Jean, the French Canadian gardener who was found stamping on The First American Bible. In 1663 the first Bible printed in America was published in Cambridge. It was unlawful to print an English version of the Scriptures. that right be- ing a monopoly enjoyed by privilege and patent in England. The one print- ed in Massachusetts was Eliot‘s fa- mous~ “Indian Bible.” and. although 1,500 copies were struck 01!, they are quite rare and “sealed books,” as the tongue in which they are written is lit- erally a “dead language,” the tribe and all who had a knowledge of the dia- lect being long extinct. Uncovering the Past. “All right,” says the rich father. aft- er the count has stated his terms. “I’ll let Sadie marry you and agree to turn over to you $1,000.000. Now. let’s get fixed up properly. Suppose we say $1.000 down and the balancé at $2 a week?” Eliot’s work is unique, being at once a monument to his piety, perseverance and learning. Its literary successor was Newman’s “Concordance of the Scriptures.” This was compiled by the light of pine knots. in a log cabin in one of the frontier settlements of Mas- sachusetts. It was the first of its kind and for more than a century was ad- mitted to be the most perfect. holding its place in public esteem until'super- seded by Cruden’s, which it suggested. Enough. A New York man says that one of the most pathetic remarks he ever heard was made by a youngster who belong ed on New York’s east side. The little fellow was taken to Coney Island on an outing conducted by a charitable organization. He went down on the beach and stood for several minutes watching the waves rolling in. As far as he could see there was nothing but water. and the expanse of waves and whitecaps fascinated him. [leaving a deep sigh, the little fellow remarked. “Well, this is the first time I ever saw enough of anything.” Here Sadie bursts into tears and leaves the room. “Now. ma.” says the rich father to “Now. ma.” says the rich father to his wife. “what on earth’s the matter with that girl?" "Well. I don‘t blame her at all. pa. It seems as if you neve'r could keep from betraying the fact that we are of plebeian origin." “What have I done now?” asks pa. “Why. you talk as if you were buy- ing the count from an installment honse.”â€"â€"Jndge. A naturalist announced that he froze four beetles of the sort known as dy- tlscldae. a water beetle, in a shallow ba- sin. They were very thoroughly tro- zen, and when after eight full days the experimenter decided to liberate them from their icy case. which had begun to thaw, one wing and two legs imper- fectly thawed broke the glass. On the ninth day the ice had entirely disap- peared, and the prisoners floated inert on the water. But after ten hours life began to show itself in them, which proved that it had been but suspended. The beetles moved their legs and an- tennae, and on the next day they swam about as usual and did honor to the re- past offered them. Bird: Flee Disease. Professor Masca rt has reported to the Paris Academy of Sciences that his observations proved the truth of the statement made by ancient writers that birds flee from cities and ,, coun- tries that are threatened With pesti- lence. He has found that birds that live in large cities. particularly spar-- rows and swallows. fly away when se- rious epidemics begin. mm] lest-tun to Cold. It is saying too much to use the word “animal" without restriction in this connection. We must limit ourselves to those of low organism. It is certain that fishes and insects, especially co- leoptera, or beetles, may be quite tro- zen, remain in the ice for a long time and yet come out of the trial as good as new. All that is necessary is to take a little precaution as to the manner of their thawing out. Characteristic to the Last. Squibbs - (‘rmuum tin- miscr. wu (ham-nod mm «waning. “Shimâ€"Haw (33d it homo?

The Idler. An ‘dle man never encourages good citizenship or progross or peace or de- cency. Idle men hanging around a town are always a pest.

Weddings and funerals are pregnant with meaning for the professional thief. To pick a pocket at a funeral would be to court immediate disaster. Whereas if a purse stolen at a wedding contains gold it portends the best of luck for the thief during the ensuing six months. Groenish tints in blue or hazel eyes are the signs of Wisdom and courage. Clear light blue eyes. especially if ac- companied by steadfastness of expres- sion. denote cheerfulness. amiability and constancy. The man who has no tender feelings for his horse should remember that this faithful servant will last longer and serve better while he does last if he receive consistent treatment. Bis Almistic Conscience. Fnddyâ€"You say you have a very ten- der. conscience.

Russet brown eyes. untingcd by yel- low. mean an afiectionate and gentle disposition. Dark blue eyes. while Indicating atâ€" fection and purity. do not represent in- tellectuality. Variable gray eyes are highly Intel- lectual and indicative of an impulsive and impressionable temperament. Our Animln. A dish of fresh water is a constant necessity Where there is a dog or a cat. even though they never appear to touch it. Offering them water now and then doesn’t answer at all. It is criminal to keep caged pets un- less one is sure to remember their needs. not when one “thinks of it.” but constantly. - Daddy-No: I hope not. That would be nautical. you know.-Exclnnge. A Late Supper. A very steady and serious country gentleman had joined a newly estab- lished London west end club which of- fered the advantage of bedrooms for country members temporarily in town. When next the squire visited the mod- ern Babylon he put up for the night at the club. which had in the meantime become extremely fashionable and its hours correspondingly irregular. The squire went to bed at an early hour, when all was quiet and decorous. If there were a racket in the night he slept through it. The pickpocket is equally supersti- tious. It is said he will not rob a per- son who squints. this being accounted a sign of disaster. and if it .liappens that the purse he robs contains foreign coins it is believed to augur that he will travel a good deal in the immedi- ate future. whether in the company of a couple of officers or not there is noth- ing to Show. Some pickpockets have a favorite pair of boots that they wear as long as they can keep them on their feet. and if they are not arrested while they are wearing them they cut the boots up into little square pieces and give them away as “lucky tokens” to their pals. Those who suppose a cat requires only meat and milk should olfer it a bit of nicely cooked vegetable, especially as- paragus. corn, green beans or potato. Next morning he came down to breakfast at his usual hour. 8 o‘clock. but was surprised to find the room in the middle of the dusting process and not a cloth on the tables. While he was gazing helplessly around a sleepy eyed waiter came up to him. “I beg your pardon. sir.” he said apol- ogetically. “but no suppers can be served after half past “if-London Tit- Bits. Mala u a Rule Are the Slave. _ o! Superstition. Some of the most notorious criminals who. it would hardly be thought. paid the slightest attention to onions. good or bad, have the greatest faith in au- perstitions of all kinds. The burglar is a believer in the sig- nificance of dreams and has been known to relinquish a big burgling teat if a dream the night before has warned him that he will be in danger should he disregard the warning. If he saw a rainbow he would consider it to por- tend that. however reckless he may be. he is not likely to fall into the hands of the police for a space of three months. Burglars have been known to carry a donkey’s shoe in their pocket before turning out. believing: that this will protect them from danger. While others pin their faith to a piece of coal. which they will carry in their pockets throughout their career and afterward bequeath it to a confederate. ' THIEVES AND OMENS. THE EYES.
