If you are a steady smoker don't throw away your old tobacco bags, By saving them until he had a trunk- ful a resident of Sixty-second street got busy with a needle and mad® one of the oddest rugs one would find fn a day’s walk, Of course this econowmlcal genius s an incessant smoker. Often he smoked two bags of tobacco fn a day. Then, too, he changed his brand often and In this way got a more high- ly colored assortment. He told his friends about the rug he had in ming, | and they got busy collecting. As a re- sult Mr. Smoker got a big crop each week: In less than six months he had gathered 108 square feet of tobacco bags, which was a nice 9 by 12 rug He used a plece of thick flannel as.a foundation and sewed the bags to it each night on returning from work. On several occasions some of the fel- lows from the office helped him do the “gewing.”” It was Interesting work. For some unknown reason many of the helpers sewed the bags on back- ‘ward, but all were finally straightened out, and when the rug was finally laid there was a little celebration in the genius’ room. Now as he looks at the rug In silence he prides himself upon his economy. And yet the refresh- ments that he supplied to keep the workers in good humor and on the night of the “rug laylng” cost him $24.50.—Philadelphia Record. The First Teacups. Hven after tea was introduced into Burope and had come into general use teacups were scarce. At the same time coffee was introduced; but, apart from Constantinople, the first coffee cups in Europe date back only as far as 16456 in Venice, 1659 in Paris, 1652 in Lon- don and 1694 in Leipsic. From the first, however, the conventional orien- tal coffee cup, without stem or handle, was little used, and {n Germany not at all. The Chinese teacup was used for tea, coffee and chocolate as well. Spect- mens of porcelain were undoubtedly introduced into Europe in the middle ages, yet not till the sixteenth century were cups 1mported from China in any great quantities, and even then it was as articles of vertu. Most of those found their way back into China again, as collecting porcelain is a lasting fad there, and high prices are paid for good specimens. The collection of Chinese porcelain, if only the genuine specimens are desired, requires im- mense study and knowledge, as the Chinese are skillful imitators and put numerous falsifications on the market. Society Music. Mary will have to be asked to play when she goes out in society. A proud mamma will attend to that. And Mary will play with faithful accuracy some- thing from Chopin or Beethoven or Mendelssohn, and the young people will watch her chubby fingers thought- fully and wonder when the selection will come to an end. They will ap- plaud, too—when the end is reached— for that is good manners, and every- body likes Mary, anyhow. And then— well, Lucy Smith, who has never taken lessons, will rollick up to the piano and begin a coon song, hands and feet will beat time all over the room, half the listeners will hum the refrain, everybody will see the difference be- tween the piano as a penance and as a pleasure, and only Mary’s mamma will make unpleasant side remarks about the degeneracy of popular taste in music.—Cynthia Westover Alden fin Success Magazine. A Misunderstood Jest. Lord Lytton when viceroy of India was seated one day at dinner next to a lady whose name was Birch and who, though very good looking, was not overintelligent. Sald she to his excellency: “Are you acquainted with any of the Birches?” “Oh, yes!” replied Lord Lytton. “I knew several of them most Intimately while at Eton—indeed, more Intimate- Iy than I cared to.” “My lord,” replied the lady, “you forget the Birches are relatives of mine.” “And they cut me,” said the viceroy, “but,” and he smiled his wonted smile, “I have never felt more Inclined to kiss the rod than I do now.” Sad to say, Mrs. Birch did not see the point and told her husband hig ex- cellency had insulted her. A Dumas Story. Dumas thé elder was rarely spiteful to or about his fellow men, but one day, when he happened to be In that mood, a friend called to tell him a plece of news. “They have just given M. X, the Legion of Honor,” he said. Then he added in a significant tone, “Now, can you imagine why they should have given it to him?” “Yes,” answered the great dramatist promptly. “They have given it to him because he was without it.” The French Brand.

I douw't believe you’re anything { of the kind.” The passenger smiled. The smile ! was full of perspleacity and confidence and was followed with, “Pray tell me, then, what you believe me to be.” At this question "Captain Ewing -idgeted, hesituted and finally blurted out: “Well, to be honest, I think you are a gambler. , You've well nigh ruined yourself at home and are now coming to fleece the fools you’ll find on shore.” The. young man's smile broadened. The next minute he turned grave again, lowered his voice and replied: “Captain Ewing, as you have studied me durving this voyage, so I have studied you. T have come to the con- clusfon that you are a man to be trusted. 1 am Louis Fhilippe, duc @’Orleans, eldest son of that Louis Philippe d’Orleans who was slain by the guillotine on the 7th of Novem- ber, almost three years ago.” Accidental Success. “In literature,” said a publisher, “popular success frequently comes by accident. A remarkable case was that of J. I. Shorthouse. This man, a poor chemist, spent some years writing a book called ‘John Inglesant.’ But the publishers would bave none of ‘John Inglesant,’ and finally Mr. Shorthouse printed 100 copies at his own ex- ng a photographer. The Mr: Gladstone’s picture e weeks later, and the old man chose a studious pose, sitting witt a velume in his hand.. He bent i absorption over the work, which hay~ pened accidentally to be ‘John Ingle- sant, and in the thousands of copies of the plhiotozraph that were sold by accident the book's name was plainly to be made out. Y “Mr. Gladstone was regarded as a great critic, and the people thought he desired to recommend ‘John Imgle- sant.” the year 3€0,000 copies of ‘John In- glesant’ had been sold, and Shorthouse was a made man.” Two Tall Ones. “Bagles and hyenas, if they are starving, will eat themselves,” said a nature fakir. “On, of course.” “It's the truth. Pliny mentions it in his natural history, and I have proved it by experiment. I starved an eagle three days, and he began to tear chunks out of his thigh and eat them. The thing was so sickening to me that T oanly permitted it to go on a day. I got two good photographs of It for my last book, then T restored the eagle’s raticns agzin.
