"You may have r.r.Ucct! that the Jap anese who visit Aner.c.i are very mod erate smokers," said a prominent Jap anese now traveling in the United States to a reporter recently.

"But srch" smokers are exceptionally few among the Japanese. As a rule, my countrymen, while at home and abroad, are satis.led with short smokes, such as a cigarette or a tiny pipe affords.

Washington St.tr. Robbed the Grave. A startling incident, of which Mr. John Oliver cf Philadelphia, was the subject is narrated by him as follows: "I was in a most dreadful condition. My skin was almost yellow, eyes sunken, tongrue coated, pain con tinually in back and sides, no appe tite gradually growing weaker day by day. Throe physicians had given me up. Fortunately, a friend advised trying 'Electric Bitters;' and to my great joy and surprise, tho first bottle made a decided improvement. I con tinued their use for three weeks, and am now a well man. I know they saved my life, and robbed the grave of an other victim." No ono should fail to try them. Only 50 cts., guaranteed, at F. G. Fricke & Co' drug store. Turkish W(i:nfn'l Right. The Turkish woman is marriageable at the age of 9 years, and by Turkish law, at that age, if married, she is competent to manage her property and dispose of one-third of her for tune. The law allows her to abandon her ltsband's house for just cause, and will protect her In so doing. She cannot he compelled to labor for the support of her husband. ISoers' Clothes. A marked peculiarity of the Boers' clothes is that they never fit, according to modern Ideas, and apparently no attempt is made to make them do so. This peculiarity is noticeable in almost all the photographic portraits of most Boers. Much Gambling in Frani-r, Gambling in France is said to have reached such proportions that the gov ernment has begun to study the ques tion seriously. It is estimated that half of the suicides in Paris are due to losses at the races. In Packlnu Clothing. In packing away summer or winter clothing, it is advisable to lay bits of charcoal here and there among the foles, and this will prevent the un pleasant odor which is often perceived in clothing from which the air has teen excluded.

The art. of cutting a quill by adept "quill-drivers" was dying when I first began schooling, says Notes and Quer ies. Steel pens had been known for some time, but were not in general use. The goose quill pen died a hard death as a commonly-used writing tool. My first schoolmaster was a first-rate hand at cutting a quill, and he could use it with wonderful effects In flourishes. It was his boast that he -v iiii lut nisi ijuutj et a iau a 0v,t i i -.u , school book with name, age, date and flourlshes-in which u-fro .nttod were wonderful swans and other birds in such a fashion that none but experts like himself could tell where the quill pen was taken from the paper for a fresh dip. My last master could neither cut a quill nor use one with ad vantage. Quills as pens remained in use in some houses as the only writ ing tool up to a dozen or twenty years ago. Those who can cut a decent writing quill are now few. People used to ask for "a quill pen," or "a quill," when they wanted a pen, and both steel and quill were always called "pens," buyers asking for fine or other "nibs" or nebs." Nowadays nearly all ask for "nibs" when they require pens. The word "pen" has almost dropped out of usage, except to express the pen and holder combined. Persons in variably ask for a box of 'nibs," ap pearing to lose sight cf the fact that "nib" or "neb" is a point and that the points of pens alone are not to be had. One would think that in these days of much schooling teacers would define "pen" from "point" or "nib," but. they, too, ask for "nibs" when they mean "pens." Children only know a pen as a holder and pen combined. They ask for "nibs" or "pen nibs," and asked if they do not mean "pens," the reply is: "No, nibs!" Woman Klllel a Wildcat. Susquehanna (Pa.) Spec. Philadel phia Inquirer: Alarmed by the cries of her poultry Mrs. Hempstead, of Cas cade Valley, the other evening went into her barn, where she saw a large wildcat eating a turkey. She returned to the house, secured an ax, returned to the barn and gave battle to the wild cat, killing it after a severe struggle. In which she was pahnfully lacerated and her clothing was badly torn. The wildcat weighed thirty pounds. Catarrh Cannot Be Cured With LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as they cannot reach the sest of disease.
