One of them remarked fliat her Aunt
Maria, a woman as ugly to look upon
as Bhe was wealthy, was intending to
have her portrait painted. ' ,
Y ''I , tell her,"" the , niece remarked,
"that she must have Mr. X do it.".

; '. Kot All Men Smoke
It is not true tbat 'all men smoke."
It would be safe1 to say that at leas!
one-third of the full grown men in thit
viity never use tobacco in any shape.
This conclusion has' been reached by
Jie present writer after inquiry and ob
nervation. Not one-third of the pedes
trians in the streets are to be seen
smoking at any 'hour of the day oi
evening. In several large business cs
'iablishments. which may , be taken at
jxaiuplcs of concerns of that kind, it
.vas found that ju.t about on6 third of
:he employes were smokers. In an up
sown club three-quarters of the- mem
bers were found to bt smokers. In u
lumber of big boarding houses a ma
jority of the boarders were smokers.
It is of .course, impossible, to tell the
:xact proportion , of. . the popuLitiori
ihat is given to habitual smoking:
but let it stand at two-thirds until the
statistics are furnished by the Anti-Tobacco
society. New York Sun.

Tw tils Animal.
At tho beginning of this century the
prico of hippopotamus ivory was 3.25
per pound. Sinco tho American inven
tion of porcelain enamel for artificial
teeth it is no longer sought for, and the
value of tho animal depends at present
on tho hide and tho fat. The latter re
sembles lard, and the former fa used for
whips. A hippopotamus diCcre from
most aquatic onimals in this particular,
that. Instead of diving head first, it
sinks backward and disappoara by
throwing tho nose upward. There fa
also a marked difference between this
beast and tWcrocodilo as regards the
power of remaining under water.
The former, notwithstanding its enor
mous lungs, must come up to breathe
in ten minutes at the longest whereas
the crocodile can stay beneath the sur
face for almost any length' of time.
Tho crocodile has , the power of living
through the hot season in a torpid state,
buried in tho mud, which dries and
hardens abovo hinxJtYhen the-'uiud is
softened in the rainy season the animal
resumes its activity. It seems that
crocodiles measuring twenty-two feet
in length have frequently been killed.
There is no doubt that one of these
could swallow an ordinary human
being. A large specimen having been
killed and cut open in Ceylon the body
of a native was found in its stomach.
