Now, a then boa , n tn6 aduntlfio controvorajr a to whothor a man ia enjoy a amoke who cannot at the same time sea tbe smoke curling up from the. cigar or pine, I was struck with this apparent solution or tbe question. 1 have beard it nieutodly stated that nobody could bU in the dork Whether hie cigar waa alight or not, if he oouldut .aee the tire. 1 bad tried it myaelf and hod come to the conclusion that the statement was correct, Nevertbnkwa hue was a blind man who was not only smok ing, hut apjmifiitly enjoying the proenea. I knew the man was blind becaueo there waa a placard alung around bis Beck announcing "I am blind." Then I had seen him standing at the foot of the elevated stairs mouth in and month out selling lead peiwils tosym pathetic people who didn't want any h'td pencils-who never uaed lead pouils. He was not on duty at the time, I don't know, hut a blind man l""g lend pencils and smoking a good cigar at tho same time would swin an incongruous thing. Not be cause be bruin t a perfect right to do so, but somehow the prevailing pub lic ulea is that a blind man has no use for tho ordinary luxuries of life, and to aee him indulging in any such thing would have a tendency to de stroy his trade. He probably under stood thin, for be was at a free lunch counter, having evidently just quenched his thirat with a glass of beer. 'Does it give you pleasure to smoker" I inquired, softly obaervlng the inarveioua inetiuct witb which be dincriminatod between tlie bits of sliced ham and bologna.

WMe Uio family chiefs are making their arrangements, the lovers retire to tho other eud of Uie house and dis- oourae their own "sweet music." It is net8wiry that the engaged pair should put an end Uiemselves to the term of the negoUauon. They approach, holding each other by the band, to Ute tablo where their par cuts or relaUves are seated, when bread, wine and brandy are brought in. The young man and the maiden eat with Ute same knife and fork and drink out of Ute same cup, and Uie day for Uie union is then agreed up on. Million. I Making Bread on Big Scale. In the largo bakeries the dough is mixed in huge oval tubs of oak, which bold nve barrels or 1,000 pounds of flour made into dough, which is worked by machinery. The tub is elevated on a platform so as to por mit Uie working of revolving steel modes, 'l oree men are thus enabled to work up in one day without touchi of hand ISO barrels of flour, which, if done in the ordinary or old method by hand, would require Uie services of SO men. , A huge lump of 24 pounds of dough is cut by a machine in a few seconds into IS loaves.
