The constant habit of smoking pipes has a perceptible effect upon the face. The pressure of the lips to hold the plpe in position increases the curva- ture of the lips round the stem, and the muscles become more rigid here than in other parts. Thus the lips at a certain point become stronger, and the pipe is unconsciously held in the same habitual position. After long continu- ation of the habit small circular wrin- kles form parallel with the curvature of the lips around the stem.. These are crossed by finer lines caused by the pressure of the lips to retain the stem in position. In the case of old men ‘who have smoked a pipe for years the effect upon the lips is very marked, not only altering the form of the lips, but of the one entire side of the face, causing the wrinkles that are the re- sult of age to deepen and instead of following the natural course of facial wrinkles to change their course so as to radiate from the part of the mouth where the pipe is habitually carried. Furthermore, one or both lips often protrude, just like the lips of people who used to suck their thumbs when children.—Medical Record. Wanted the “Grocery Seats.” Leigh Lynch while he lived was a happy man. In the first place, he was the husband of lovely and gentle Anna Teresa Berger, the belle of the bell ringers in her girlhood;. secondly, he had the years long friendship and in- timate companionship of Eugene Field; thirdly, he was the father of a family of children in whom was centered his unselfish hope. He used to carry his business cares and pleasures home, where he was always sure of ready and generous sympathy. For several years he was treasurer of the Union Square theater in New York. One evening at dinner, in the presence of his Iittle daughter, Marie, he men- tioned to Mrs, Lynch that the gross receipts of the week had risen to an unprecendented height. The next day Marie asked to be taken to the matl- nee. “All right, dumpling,” assented the fond father. “What seats would you like?” “Well, papa,” she replied, “I'd like to have them grocery seats you telled| us about.”—Detroit Free Press. A Fatal Austrian Flag. Once there was an epidemic of plague at Odessa, in Russia, which lasted more than a year. It had a most re- markable origin, being due to a fatal flag. An Austrian vessgl arrived at Odessa, bringing one of the crew who had died during the voyage. The sail- or was duly interred in the Catholic cemetery at the port, and at the fu- neral the Austrian flag was carrled by two seamen. On their way back to the vessel the men entered a great number of saloons and laid down the flag while drinking. A very short time afterward the sailors who had carried the flag dled, and before long it was found that people were ill in all the houses where the men had call- ed with the fatal flag. Soon the plague spread throughout Odessa, filling all with terror and claiming a frightful toll. There is no doubt that the flag contained the plague bacilll in the folds and so spread the disease.— Baltimore Sun, Strictly Business. “Sir,” began a stranger as he walk- ed directly up to a business man, “I am strictly on business.” “So am L.” ¢ “Good! T believe every man should furnish money for his own tombstone.” “So do 1.” “Good again! I want to raise $25 to pay for a stone over my grave. ‘What assistance will you render the enterprise? I want a business an- swer.”” . “You shall have It, sir. TUnless you immediately take your departure I will aid the enterprise by furnishing the corpse.” The stranger hurried off.—Cleveland Plain Dealer. Golf. Golf as a recreation appeals to prac- tically all ages. Impetuous youth, stald middle age and the man in the -evening walk of life alike feel its fas- cination and enjoy its manifold pleas- ures. Golf entalls walking, the best of exercises for the average man. It trains the eye and the arm, and, while it tries, it ought also to train the tem- per.—Liverpool Courler, A Warm Time Coming. “I'm doin’ me best with the fire, sir,” sald the janitor at the door of Gailey’s office one cold morning, “but I'm afraid I can’t make it very- warm for you. You see, sir’— o “Never mind,” feverishly replied Gal-. ley, who had been out all night. *“My wife will be here shortly, I expect.”— Philadelphia Ledger. Loaded. Farmer Jones (to amateur hunter)— There wasn't a better water dawg livin’ until you shootin’ gents took to borrowin’ 'im. . Now ’is 'ide’s that full of shots he'd sink to the bottom like a brick—Bystander. 2 Gave It Up. A friend of the writer recently made application for a public appointment in a small Scottish town, and, thinking that his chances of success would be greater by a little judlcious canvass- ing, he resolved to call upon a few of the town councilors, in whose hands the appointment lay. Of the civic dig- nitaries’ position in private life he knew uothing. Journeying to the town in question, he hired a cab at the rail- way station and reqguested the jehu to take him to Councilor Bisset's, the treasurer. The councilor was found in his blacksmith’s shop” shoeing a horse. “I'll see somebody of more impor- tance than this, anyhow,” said the can- didate to himself, and, turning to the driver, he said, “Drive me to Councilor Maitland's office.” The cabman thereupon drove him to the local joiner’s shop. This was worse even than the smithy, and in despair he ejaculated: “Drive me to Councilor Gray’s.” “I am Councilor Gray, sir,”” replied the cabman. The answer staggered the candidate. He quietly paid his fare and disap- peared, resolved to leave his fate in their hands without prejudicing them in any way In his favor. — London Standard. When Life Was Little Valued. The 223 capital offenses which -the old English law recognized as punish- able by death did not keep down crime, and with the abolition of the death penalty for all crimes but murder crime in England, as well as every- ‘where else all over the world where the death penalty has been modified, lessened markedly, notes the Boston Traveler, Edmond Burke said that he could in his time obtain the assent of the house of commons to any bill that car- ried the death punishment. A man’s life was not very valuable in those strenuous days. If he scratch- ed his name on Westminster bridge, if he wore a wig or false mustache or any other disguise on a public road, if he cut down a young tree, if he stole property worth more than $1.25, if he had been transported for crime and re- turned a day ahead of the expiration of his term of punishment, if he wrote a threatening letter, if he stole a hide from a tanner’s, for any ‘and all of these things and for 200 more than these he was hanged by the neck until he was. dead. Loading Freight by Cards. “I don’t know whether the practice is still kept up in the far south, but I remember how tickled I was at seeing the method used In loading goods into freight cars down in Mississippi some whils ago,” said a railroad man of St. Louis. “A lot of strapping black fellows will be on the job under the supervision of a white man, who will be issuing or- ders with great volubility. ‘Put this aboard the king of diamonds; take this to the ace of hearts; load this on the ten of spades; this to the jack of clubs,’ and so on, and then-you’ll notice each one of the long line of freight cars has tacked on it some;one of the fifty-two cards composing d'full deck. The Sen- egamblan loafers for the most part were ignorant.of letters and figures, but every man of them knew the paste- board emblems which he had often handled in games of seven up. That next to craps is the chlef diversion of the colored sports of Dixie.”—Balti- more American. Cruel Spring. The talk in the village hostelry had been on the subject of vegetable freaks, but at length it veered round to goats. “Did ever you keep a goat, BIll?" inquired a gray whiskered gentleman in a corner seat. “Did I ever!” answered the little man addressed with rustic familiarity. “I bought one last Christmas what nearly brought me to the work'us. | Eat anything, from tins o’ blackin’ to flatirons, that goat would. Lucky thing for me the spring killed it.” “I didn’t know the seasons affected goats,” observed the gray whiskered gentleman. “Who’s talkin’ about seasons?’ came the reply. “It was the spring of our alarm clock what ’e made a meal of one day as done it!"—London Express. Generally the Case. “1 wish you would mention this to Jinks. It is highly important.” “I'll mention it to him today.” “But how do you know you will see him today ?” “I'm bound to bump into him. I owe him money.”—St. Paul Pioneer Press. No Mercy. Mistress—Sarah Jane, what has hap- pened? Sarah Jane—Oh, mum, I've fallen down the stairs and broken my neck! Mistress (firmly)—Well, what- ever you've broken will be deducted from your wages.—Sydney (N. S. W) Bulletin. He Could Not Will. “Can you lend me a fiver, old fel- low?” “Surely I can.” “But will you?” “Ah, my will power has utterly de- serted me these days!”—Town Topics. Motoring. “Motoring is the very poetry of mo- ton.” “Except when you have a smashup!” “No; even then—it's blank’ verse!”"— London Opinion. Two Enigmas. “Why don't we see men like the noy- elists describe?” ’ “I give it up. Why don't we see girls like the illustrators draw?’—Louisville Qourfer-Journal. > An Amendment. i Mrs. Meanthing—Henry, I have to write a paper for our club on *The Woman Who -Deliberates Is Lost” Have you any suggestions to make? Mr. Meanthing—Well, I don’t know. You might make it “extinct” instead | of “lost.”—Philadelphia Inquirer. After the Fire. “You don’t mean to say that Spend- er is on his uppers. Why, I thought he had money to burn!” ~“So he did have; but, unfortunately. for Spender, he carried no fire insur- ance.”—Brooklyn Life.
