where, if the brunettes are generally
strong the blonds are not always mild.
' - HOW SOME MEN SMOKK. -
A true smoker must never select a
' moist cigar, but at the same time he
must not take a too dry one. As tho
Latin philosopher said, "In medio tntis
aim ua ibis." . ' -. ' -
The supreme felicity of the smoker
depends also in great measure upon tho
manner in which he lights his cigar.
To verify its peculiar aroma one ha3
first to draw the smoke through the
nose. To recognize a regular smoker is
an easy task his Hps . always betray
him. The mau who resolutely puts his
cigar deeply in his mouth is a firm, de
cided man of action, quick in move
ment, perhaps brusque, but generally,
gooa neat-tea.
The youngster who cuts the end of the
cigar with the teeth is rather insouciant,
careless of future . dental sufferings.
The, baldheaded young man who 'calls
jfar penknife to cut the end of the
cigar Is a man Judicious in council,
methodical in his ways and well bal
anted.
The one who places his cigar in an
amber holder is recherche in his tastes

The man fond of light shaded cigars ia
fond of the ballet, light performances,
Offenbach music, comic opera and shep
herdesses in water colors. He is also
probably fond of fishing and boating, is
'generally romantic and is considered as
a passionate waltzer. . -
UOHT AND DARK SMOKKKS.
The one who prefers dark shaded
cigars may be supposed a daring and
fortunate gambler, an audacious and
successful lover, rather fond of Leopold
Robert and Keguaut's vivid pictures aud
Verdi's music: he is partial to racing and
wild bunting.
The man who buys his cigars without
examination and only because they are
. tied in packages with ribbons perfumed
by the Cuban peddler's wife is of confid
ing disposition, presumably an obedient
husband and a credulous stockholder.
The one who smokes his cigar almost to
the end is by all means a persevering
character, a faithful friend and a ' con
stant lover; the one who throws it away
when only half smoked is blase. ''
The man who allows it to extinguish
itself often and tights it again is absent
minded, thoughtful but , indulgent, a
good fellow, inclined to tolerance, taking
men for what they are, women for what
they are not; taking times as they come,
he lets the stream of life How gently by.
The "connoisseur" most be very care
ful when cigars show little yellow spots.
If spots appear in consequence of un
. equal drying, the cigar is horrid. If
made by Bmall worms, the bri.-.d is geh
- erally exquisite, as worms prefer to at
tack the -best flowers, the best fruits:
the best leaves.
In any case, the cigar is not the true
. smoker's best enjoyment; it is a kind of
compromise between the cigarettes of
the "coquette" and the short pipe" of the-
cymcal philosopher. Newr York Re

' . The Original Silhouette.
The name silhouette was derived from
Etienne de Silhouette, a French minister
of finance in 1750, who . introduced sev
eral, parsimonious ' fashions during his
. administration called a la Silhouette, a

' the black profile portraits, i Silhouettes
were executed -in various ways. . .
One of the simplest is that of tracing
the outlines of a shadow's profile thrown
on a sheet of paper, and then reducing
. them to the required size either by 'the
eye or by means of a pantograph. The
camera obecura and camera lucida are
also occasionally used for the purpose.

The World Largest Telegraph Office.
The biggest telegraph office in the
world is that of London, it is located
in the general postoQce building and is
not accessible to the general public. It
contains more than 3,000 operators, and
its batteries are supplied by a plant of
80,000 cells, or enough to-make three
solid glass rows of cells from the Cap
itol to the White House. .This office
does more business than any office in the
United States. It dispatches its business
much quicker and niore qnietly than our
offices do. ' r- --- '
Of these 3.000 .operators about 1.000
we women. They have a room to them
selves, and do their work with Ameri
can Morse instruments with registers
and paper reels. ' In the other parte of
the office all sorts of instruments are
used, and the Hughes priuting instru
ments are the most popnlar. in the big
telegraph operating room of Paris 1,000
operators are at work. . Nearly one-half
of these are women. -The day operators

TWO EXPERIENCES AT THE CAPITAL!
Young Woman Who Cam to Pay an
Extended Visit to an Entire Stranger.
"We had some remarkable experiences
in Washington." said a lady whose hus
band had, through two administrations,
held a high office in the government.
Insane claimants come to Washing
ton by the . hundred with' preposterous
demands tit' every kind. ; Of 1 course at
the departments aud in their houses the
president and his cabinet are guarded as
far as may be from these intruders, but
they sometimes gain access to the peo
ple tney desire to see, and give a great
deal of trouble.
'Owing probably to my name having
been more or less in the newspapers, I
had not a little annoyance from these
people myself, and women as well as
men used to deluge me with the most
absurd applications. One very funny
mcident, which, however, was most an
noying at the time, occurred after we
had been in Washington only a short
time, and before I had warned my serv
ants against these eccentric gentry. We
bad had a big-dinner, and 1 was alone
in the drawing room about 11 o'clock,!
just 'after our guests had departed."' 1
heard a bttle bustle in the hall, but fan
cying that it was some one going away
did not disturb myself about it.'
"Presently the door opened, and the
footman announced, .'Miss Clark. . And.
quite as if she were an expected guest,
in walked a very ladylike iooking wom
an, who calmly infoimed me that she
had a claim against the treasury depart
ment for a million dollars, and that she
had come to stay .with me until she had
arranged matters satisfactorily. '1 have
brought my trunk, she explained very
composedly, 'as I suppose I may have to
stop with you for some time.' And to
my consternation I found that the cab
man (for she had arrived in a carriage)
had brou&rht her box into tho hall. nn,1
that she had paid and dismissed him.
Her whole demeanor was so quiet and
assured that the servant who opened the
door never dreamed but that she was
expected. -
"To have a crazy woman - in your
house at midnight is not a pleasant po
sition I assure you. I felt that she must
De numored. and making some excuse,
hastily sought my husband and ac
quainted him with the situation. For
tunately Dr. , our good neighbor,
lived within a few doors,, and writing
him 'a line to ask his advice and assist
ance,, we entertained our strange visitor
until he arrived with a carnage to take
the poor lady to a safe, shelter for the
night. With great tact he persuaded
her to go with him, aud she took leave
of us with many apologies for her short
stay and abrupt departure.
"My next experience was more seri
ous. My daughter was to be married,
and on the afternoon before the wedding
I bad gone up to my room for a little
rest when 1 was disturbed, by one of the
servants who informed me that a gen
tleman -was- down stairs who insisted
upon seeing "Miss Mary' (my : daughter)
or myself. 'He wouldn t give his mes-
ge, ma'am,' exclaimed the man, 'al
though I told him that you did not wish
to be disturbed.' Thinking that it might
be something of importance, 1 went down
to the reception room, where I found a
tall, very good looking man, who in ah
agitated manner told me that he had
long loved my Mary, had seen her mar
riage spoken of in the papers and had
traveled night and day from his home in
the west to be in time to prevent the
sacrifice.
"He insisted upon seeing my daughter
at once. He was so excited that 1 was
terribly frightened, but kept my pres
ence of mind, and contrived to ring for
the footman. 'Show this gentleman
out.' 1 said, and fairly flew upstairs.
Some way or other thoy got rid of him,
but that evening he returned, and again
the next morning. Of course he was
not admitted, but 1 was made so thor
oughly nervous that my husband sent
for a couple of policemen in citizen's
clothes, who remained with the wedding
party until the young couple were fairly
off on the train." New York Tribune.
. Wliy She Couldn't Buy.

"The other hesitated, looked at the
price 'and 'commented: 'They're not. at
