A Spicy Huit.
"We shall shortly have in the courts a
Franco-Chinese trial, which promises
some oi' the spiciest developments. A
Chinaman, who had saved some money
while a waiter in a cafe, and arrayed
in the most gorgeous Oriental cos-
tumes, poised as a Celestial prince,
made the acquaintance one day in ijunc
of Mile, (t at a concert in the
Champs Eiysees. Harassed by her
creditors, who threatened to eject her
from her home, the suppositious
Chinese prince was a perfect* godsend.
They had dinner together, during which
the "prince"1 spoke of his immense
wealth. To believe him he owned half
of the city of Shanghai. As he had for-
gotten his pocket-book Mile. (I had
to pay the bill. The next day, perceiving
her embarrassed position, lie told her he
would give her a draft for 300,000 '
francs, and drawing ^nm his pocket a
long sheet of Chinese paper scribbled it
full of grotesque characters. At the
bot'omie .wrote the following address
in French;
"M. Eseu-Ang, banker, 13 Rue des
Enropeens, ,Shanghai.
As soon as he departed Mile. G
reflected that no one here would cash
the draft, and as her creditors would
not wait until a remittance should ar-
rive from Shanghai, she quickly made
up her mind to leave for the Flowery
kingdom. That same evening she de-
parted from Paris for Marseilles, where
she took pass ige on the Nadyr. The
voyage lasted forty days. At last she
diowed the
Sealskin and Matrimony.
She left him for a sealskin sacque.
Such is the popular verdict in a recent
divorce case, though the records read
another way. What is there in that
garment which makes it so wonderful
to the feminine eye? Its rich, brown
hue, its softness to the touch, are unde-
niable advantages, but it does not be-
come every one. It is too often a mere
fur bag that overloads and overwhelms
a pretty ligure. It is too valuable to
be ripped up by every owner, and alter-
ed with the changing fashions. Gnard-
ed ever so tenderly, it is invaded by
the moth that gnaws and rubbed bare
by the most delicate neck and chin. Is
it a badge of wealth? No; almost every
woman scrapes to get one. It can be
had on the installment plan at double
its value. That is against it. Why,
then, make home unhappy for such an
article? We may be preaching in vain,
but better a thousand times wear plus.i
with honest pride than blush in seal-
skin.—New York Morning Journal.

Smoking 0igaratte3.
In one of the schools of Brooklyn a
boy 13 years old, naturally very quick
and bright, was found to be growing
dull and fitful. His face was pale and
he had nervous twitching;?. He was
obliged to quit school. In piiry showed
that he had become a confirmed smok-
er of cigarettes. When r.skeu why he
did not give it up, he -hi .1 tears and
said that he had often tried, but could
not. The growth of this habit, is insiti
ions and its effects ruinous. The eyes,
the brain, the nervous system, the
memory, the power of application, are
all impaired by it. "It's nothing 1 ut
a cigarette," is really "It's - but
poison." German and French ph; si-
cians have reet ntly protested again
it; and a convention of Sunday and sec-
ular teachers was recently held in En-
gland to check it. It was presided over
by an eminent surgeon of a Royal eye
infirmary, who staled that many dis-
eases of the eye were directly car... -d
by it. Parents, save your children
from this vice, if possible. Do not al-
low them to deceive you. in future
years they will rise up and bless you
for restraining them.
It is now known that old castaway
cigar stumps are used in the manufact-
ure of cigarettes. Boys are employed
to gather them from hotels, bar-rooms,
sidewalks—from wherever they aiv

There was no Rue des Europeens. The

read:

quaintance until this morning. That is
why 1 have delivered to her this certifi-
cate as a recommendation.

the steerage. Three days ago she met
the Chinaman in the Place do la Con-

A Very Sensitive Business Mp.n.
During the cloth-house and whole-
sale clothing house failures of Septem-
ber, a retail dealer in Cleveland shut
up shop and announced his failure,
with an offer to pay ten cents on the
dollar. #
"See here, Jake," said an acquain-
tance, "there are some ugly reports
about your failure."
"Ish dot bossible!"
"Did any of those New York houses
owe you?'
"Oh, no!"
"Did you owe any of them?"'
"Not a cent."
"Well then, why should their mis-
fortune affect you? You don't fail
every time an Eastern house goes un-
der, do you?"
"Mr. Schmidt, you doan* onder-
stand der case, and I vhill oxblain.
My brudder Isaacs was mit one of der
busted firms."
"Well, what of it?"
"Isaacs vhas werrv sensitive—werrv.
principle of tobacco an
on. This accumulates in the lias;- <>;
the cigar with every draft of the smoke,
and the man, noticing the unpleasant
flavor, throws the stump away. This
reservoir of nicotine finds its way into
the cigarette, and the person who
smokes it gets in a condensed form tin
poison which so often works mischief
on the brains of habitual smokers.
Again, these cigar stubs—or any to-
bacco, for that matter, that is made into
cigarettes—is wrapped with paper
which contains a very large per cent,
of arsenic or other deadly poisons, the
power of which exerts a deleterious ef-
fect upon the tonsils—in fact, tin
whole throat —of alt who use them;
deed, it has been found impossible

smokers.
Rut even this is not the worst of it.
These cigar stumps have been in the
mouths of all sorts of men—drunkards,
fast young men, rotten old roues,
whose very kiss, or touch, or even the
pencil they have held in their mouths,
might t'ommiinieato th > foulest and
most fearful disease that comes to a

Didn't Want a Friendly Tip.
"Here, my goad fellow," said ar
English Lord at a Philadelphia hotel
table, as he slyly lam

"What is that for?" asked
cr, without moving.
"For? Whv, that i. for you. Take

"For me? And why for me?"
"Surely, you nmsl understand."
whispered the Lord in astonishment;
"that is your tip. 1 never give less

"You are mistaken, sir." said the
waiter, drawing uim>e!f up haughtily.
