too much. Soldiers when marching

mi ht break the bridge down. Some
of the most serious problums of thu
day , particularly In the great cities ,
arise from practices akin to a univer

all street cars and other transportation
agencies have become recognized pe
riods of great discomfort. There seems
to be no remedy , so long us thousands
of employes begin work at Ihu same

FOGS AT SEA AND ON LAND.
Curious DlirercnccH liiTlium Mlttt Ioc

There Is a fog at sea as \\ell a
fog on land , but one curious dlilerence
Moos not seem to have been noticed.
The fog of London and the fog of the
rsua alike discompose tratlie. and omni
buses and steamships alike have had
to lay to for htifety. Hut while the
{ London fog gets Into your Inmost room

Is going all aroi'iul one at sea. the ship
Itself , so far as the passenger lb con
cerned. Is unaffected. Why Is that ?
The word "fog" has not been traced I
further back than the sixteenth cen
tury , but the thing was kno\\n In the
early years of the fourteenth. The
commons , with the prelates and nobles
visiting London for the parliaments
mil on other occasions , united to pu-
tltlon IMwtml 1. to compel the burn-
ng only of dry wood and chuivuiil , as

Smokers of t-lgar-Mes who finej

may be Interested In the fact that uc
Insect known as the cigarette beetle
gives to the poorer grades that ex
quisite flavor so highly prized by coir
iiolsscurs. Dr. ( 'til.tendon , assistant
entomologist of the Department ol
Agriculture , who llrst discovered the
cigarette beetle , has since the date ol
his tirst publication on the subject con
tinued his Investigation of tlds pecu
liar niM-ct , and In so doing managed
to accumulate In his olllce quite a stock
of cigars and ciga.'cuos , bent lu by va
rious dealers and tobacconists , all of
them bored and olhcrwisc eaten by
beetles.
One day recently Eugene A. Schwartz
of the department of Insects , national
museum , who , by the way , Is a great
sun Ker , dropped Into the olllce of Dr.
Chitteiulcii , and , seeing the cigars ly-
in , ; about , supposed that the Doctor
nad laid In a supply for his friends ,
and seieciln , , ' one began smoking it ,
' 1 Uo cigar tasted good.
When Dr. Uhkteuden came In Mr.
Srlinar/ began praising his cigars.
Then It was that Dr. Chittenden was
ubnged to tell' his friend the truth ,
uud when Mr. SchwaiY. learned thai
he had been smoking a beetle-infested
cigar he said :
"lit'i'lli'h or no beetles , It is the best
cigar 1 ever smoked , " and to test mat- '
.orb further he tried another. In so
doing ho discovered that cigars are
improved in llavor by these insects.
Mr. Schwarz , and , for that matter ,
several other smokers who have tried
these cigars are quite positive that a
.Vce.ni cigar bored and otherwise acted
upon by these organisms has the llavor
of a 125-ceut porfecto. In other words ,
they claim that the Insects improve
the flavor of the cigar , and Dr. Chit-
tendeii Is awaiting further develop
ments before announcing this unusual
and unlooked-for discovery.

"The most notable exhibition of hon
esty within the history of the Treasury J
Department , " says u writer In the La

| iho ! Holmes , a colored woman iirst em *
ployed forty years ago by ( .Sonera ! Spin
ner then the Treasurer of the United
S.atcs as a temporary charwoman.
One afternoon in April , ISO'J , while
.sweeping and scrubbing the tloor of
the Issue division she found a package
full of crisp thousand-dollar no.es ,
which some careless clerk had neglect
ed to return lo the safe. She determin
ed to stand guard over the treasure and
to conlide her secret to no one but Gen
eral Spinner himself , \\lio slept in the
Treasury building during those trouble
some war times. She sv.ept the dust
of the room into one pile , then another ;
scattered It about and swept it up
again and again , doing thus to keep up
the appearance of Industry and to make
the atmo.sphore of the room as uninvit
ing as possible to the Intruding guards
who now and then sauntered In. From
sheer weakness she llnally fell usleon
until past midnight , when , Imagining
site discerned a tigure moving In the
room , bhe groped her way to the valu
able bundle , secreted it between two
desks , sat upon It , and while continuing
her vigil thus fell asleep again. About i
four o'clock In the morning she was !
awakened by General Spinner's foot |
steps. Although she gave the Treasurer
a great fright he rewarded her with a
life appointment as matron In the Issue
division. And he did It Justly. When
the package was examined it was
found to contain , some say , thirty
thousand dollars ; others , seven hun
dred thousand. "
Preparing the Impromptu.
Great orators have generally refused
to speak on the spur of Ihu moment on
Important themes. Demosthenes , thu
king of orators , would never speak in
a public meeting without previous
thorough nreimratlon. Daniel Web
ster , when once pressed to speak on a
subject of great Importance , refused ,
saying that he was very busy and had
no time to master It. When a friend
urged that a few words from him
would do much to awaken public at
tcnUnn to the subject he replied : "If
there be so much weight In my words
It Is because I do not allow myself to
speak on any subject until m > mind
Is Imbued with It. " On one occasion
Webster made a remarkable speech
without notes before the I'hl lleta
Kappa Society at Harvard University
and a book Was presented to him. At
tor he had gone a manuscript copy of
his eloquent "Impromptu" address ,
carefully written , was found in the
