THE DOOR OF SUCCESS IS NOW CLOSED TO THE IRRESPONSIBLE CIGARETTE FIEND.

Do you smoke cigarettes? If you do. you can't get a responsible position , In any big railroad company east of the Mississippi. , The telegraph companies won’t employ yoti. The street railroad people . have no use for you. , . And you might as well give up trying to get anything to do in any of the ; big stores. , Pipes, cigars, chewing tobaceo—nobpdy says a word against these—but the . cigarette must go. . The merchants and the railroad men and all the big employers have said It. The Itock Island Itallroad recently sent an Investigator nil through Its ■ shops, Its offices niul Its railway stations, and every man who smoked cigarettes ' received notice to quit. - .ITT in. 1 The Burlington, the New York Central, Chicago and Northwestern and the 1 Pennsylvania Kallroads all issued printed slips for would-be employes to till out. 1 In these blanks Is the question: "Do von smoke cigarettes?’’ If the man who Is filling out the blank writes Vjres” after that question, he will never get the place he Is asking for. Marshall Field, the bjg dry goods man or Chicago, discharged every man in his place who smoked a paper pipe, ever two wars ago’ Maeey's, Siegel & Cooper, Lord & Taylor, McCreary, Wanamaker’s all these big stores of New York, have Instructed their superintendents to eniolov no cigarette smokers. —— T” —~ x ~ ti : “ ■ Yon can’t sell goods or figure profits, or even go on the road for any of the large Eastern wholesale or retail firms If you smoke cigarettes No boy who smokes cigarettes can get Into West Point or Annapolis It takes a man to be u soldier. No dull-eyed, half-awake cigarette smokers need apply.—From an Exchange.

WINTER HOMES OF TRAMPS.

—* T ’ Knights of the Hoad Have Favorite Jails in Which to Lodge. "It's very futiuy how the professional tramp will locate good awl bad jails with a view to spending as comfortable a winter as possible,” said the Sheriff of a neighboring parish, who has had pn extended experience with the hobo .fraternity. “You know how an epicure in a big city will hunt for quaint, out-of-the-way restaurants, awl when he finds one that is really excellent how he will hide the discovery from his friends, for fear .that popularity will deteriorate the ser-vice-well, it’s exactly the same way with tramps. They all calculate on spending the most Inclement part of each winter in jail and during their summer wanderings they endeavor to locate some ‘easy’ Institution where they will be well fed and warmed and not expected to do any work. When such a place Is found the secret is carefully gunrded, so the jailer’s heart will not be hardened by 100 many calls on his hospitality. "Last month I had a typical educated hobo on my hands for a fifteen days' sojourn and he unfolded his winter program in an amusing fashion. He said he had two jails located as desirable cold weather quarters—one in Southern California and the other in a small town in Florida. ‘I don't know anything personally about the Florida joint,’ he said, ‘but the last four tramps I've met from that country all warned me as a friend to give the town a wide berth. I judge from such solicitude,’ he added, ‘that the jailer there Is dead soft and gives pie at least once a week.’ The California lockup was in a small place, as I ascertained, avoided by wayfarers on account of the bad reputation of a former sheriff. ‘The bants don’t know that he Is dead yet.' said my guest, 'and I am doiug my best to keep tin* sad news from reaching their ears. The present incumbent is a peach—no work, three meals a day and plum pudding on Sundays.’ The jails that are regarded as especial ‘soft snaps’ are generally in remote country districts, out of the beaten track of tramps. The hobo who Is yearning for winter shelter will get himself arrested l>y committing some petty misdemeanor and Is often treated more as a guest than a prisoner by his kind-hearted captors. The location of such a refuge is a valuable trade secret. “Sometimes, however, the wanderers make painful blunders, as was the case a few years ago when a small army of vagabonds poured into a town in Pennsylvania which had enjoyed a past reputation for extraordinary leniency. During the summer a new vagrancy statute had gone into effect and every man arrested was given a year at hard labor in the State peuiteutiary. My educated hobo was one of the victims and shuddered whenever he recalled the experience. He regarded it as a gross violation of the sacred laws of hospitality.”—Now Orleans Times-Dem-ocrat.

ONE MILLION FOR A PAINTING?

Fabulous Price Bald to Have Been ( ffered for a Work of Titian. The preimsterous report that someone hnd offered £200,000, or $1,000,000, foK Titian's celebrated painting of “Sacred and Profane Love,” iu the Borkliesc collection nt Rome, is due, says the Boston Transcript, in all probability to the universal hunger for astonishing people, although It may have some color of possibility to the Imagintiou of kindergarten financiers. Insensate prices have been paid for Raphaels, that In tlie National Gallery especially, which came from the Marlborough collection; also for the works of other old masters, hut never any such incredible price as this. Yet It would l»e a hard matter to set the exact limit of value In the case of a sale of Titian, more particularly such an example as tlie nbsunlly misnamed "Sacred and Profane Dive.” If there exists In the world u picture worth $1,000,000, who would he bold enough to deny the right of Titian, the potentate of painters, to he the author of that work? As to the picture known by the title of "Sacred nnd Profane Love”—a title which Titian did not give It, and which has ncedlemly puzzled many commentators—lt Is now generally considered simply as a fanciful or romantic composition. But Franz Wlokoff, a German critic, has evolved a theory which has a good deal to recommend It, that this picture represents an incldeut in seventh book of the “Argonnutlca” of Ynlerius Flaccus, the iAtln poet, where It is related that Medea, the enchantress, daughter of Aectes, King of Colchis. fUnwlHlng to yield her love for the Areek Jason, 1a visited by Venus, who

pleads for the lover and endeavors to persuade Medea to follow her into the wood, where Jason is waiting. Titian has represented this scene as taking place in the open air; the dawn is just breaking, and rosy streaks appear oh the horizon. A young woman richly dressed is seated on one side of a fountain, on the edge of which she has placed a costly casket. Her right hand is in her lap and holds a bunch of magic herbs. Deeply moved, she gazes fixedly before bet\ lending ear the while to the persuasive voice of another woman seated near. The form of this woman, around which flutters a red mantle, is of a marvelous beauty. She rests her right hand upon the fountain edge, and "'lth her left luilds on high a vase, from which Issues a light smoke. Between the two women the god of love is splashing In the water with his chubby little hands. Ms. Wickoff maintains that in the beautiful nude figure You us is easily recognizable, even were her son not there’ to Indicate her presence. The woman to whom she spoke, and who. though unwilling to yield blindly, still feels herself drawn by an irresistible power, is Medea, who betrayed the King, her father, and followed Jason, the stranger and enemy of her people.

Harmony for the Insane.

Music treatment foi; the insane is being tried on Ward’s Island, New York, with some encouraging signs. The idea of utilizing rhythmic measures to soothe the insane dates from the ancients, but it was only recently that systematic work in this direction was begun. In 1877 and 1878 some desultory effort was made on Blackwell’s Island. In 188<! the London lattice* discussed the subject, and is quoted as saying: “Music influences both brain and spinal cord, probably on account of music having vibratory or wave motion. and through its vibratory action stimulates the nerve centers. Music acts as a refreshing mental stimulant and restorative. Therefore, it braces depressed nervous tone and indirectly through the nervous system reaches the tissues.” In the present experiment classes of twelve are treated. The class is ushered into the music ; room and left free. Every movement is watched by nurses, however, and just before the music begins and when it is ended the respiration, temperature and pulse of each patient are carefully noted. The Instruments used are the.harp and violin, with the piano accompaniment when there is singing. A baritone voice is employed. Even in the short time the experiment has been In progress improved nttentloji has been noticed. This is one of the most interesting lines of investigation that has ever been followed with the Insane, and a full report on the work will undoubtedly contain much valuable information.

In Water Colors.

J* E* G. Bodley, the well-known author of the clever aud exhaustive book on Franco lately published, was distinguished ill London society as a sa.vor of witty things. At a luncheon party one day a lady was describing a visit she had paid to the house of a then famous aesthete, who was supposed to have a greater taste for house decora* tion than for habits of frequent ablutiou. Among other tilings, she described the harmonious coloring of his bathroom. Bodley- expressed incredulity'Ms to the aesthete's use for the bathroom. The lady indignantly repudiated the insinuation, and said: “I am sure he bathes a great deal.” “In that case,” said Bodley quietly, “lie must be nu even greater artist than I gave him credit for."—Chambers’ Journal.

The Usual Way.

“I was digging for bait to-day when 1 unearthed a golden doubloon of Spanish mintage.” “Y'ou have discovered n buried treasure!" cried my wife, excitedly. “Nonsense!" I replied, with the utmost calmness. “Had I discovered n burled treasure, would I not have dug up the corroded brass handle of au ancient client first?” My wife colored deeply at this, for It nettled her to he found ungun rdf ul of convention.—Detroit Journal

Determination.

"Don’t you admire determination In a man’s character?" “It all depends on the result,” answered Mr. Hlrins Barker. “If It brings success, I praise It as a splendid perseverance. If It brings failure, I denounce It ns confounded obstinacy, Washington Star. Y’ou probably kuow a lot of pqople who want you to “do" things for them. Do you know anyone who Is anxious to "do” things for you?

TWENTY BIG CALIFORNIANS.

MePj Worn en> amt Girl* Sail to Try Kinchins; in Argentina. For height, broad shoulders and herculean build, the party of twenty Californian cattle raisers who passed through Chicago the other day could hardly be surpassed. They were on their way from Los Angeles to the Argentine Republic, where they Intend to False cattle on a much more extensive scale than they could in California. The party consisted of the three Pallett brothers and their families, with five cowboys, who had thrown In their lot with the company in the hope of making a fortune in the fertile valley of the Platte river. The three Pallett brothers are each fully six feet in height, have broad, muscular shoulders, and tip the scales at 200 pounds. Their wives are nearly as tall and muscular. Two of the brothers have each four daughters, and the third brother htis three. These eleven girls range in ages from 18 to 23 years, and take after their parents in build. “Never before,” said the night clerk at the hotel, “have we had guests who attracted so much attention, and we frequently have some peculiar people stopping here. The other guests In the house seemed like dwarfs as compared with this Western party.” IV. A. Pallett, the oldest brother, when asked for his reason for leaving America, said: “We are all sorry to leave the United States, but all the grazing land is rapidly being settled, and, with the increase of the population, the cattle raisers are being driven farther west. My family was interested In the business and first had extensive ranches in Ohio. From there ve followed the frontier clear to the Pacific coast. We go now to Rosario, and thenee up in the mountains about fifty miles to the broad valley of the Platte river. Great Inducements exist there for profitable cattle raising. We have the European markets to sell to, where prices are much higher than In this country; and the cost of raising cattle Is not half as much as it is in Texas. Mexico or Lower California. We have a cash capital of $43,000, and expect to be joined in Argentina by another shareholder to the extent of $3,000. The ranch will be managed on a co-opera-tive basis.”—Chicago Inter Ocean.

LAW AS INTERPRETED.

An exception of dealers In grain, live stock and dressed meats from a statute requiring commission merchants in cities to be licensed is held, in Lasher vs. People (Ill.) 47 L. R. A. 802. to be const'tutional and not to constitute an nrbltiary discrimination, since the classification is a natural one. An equitable title with the full right to a II for the legal title Is held, In Russell vs. Myer (N. D.), 47 L. TL A. 037, to be sufficient to sustain an action against a trespasser. A note to this rase collects the authorities on sufficiency of equitable title to sustain action for trespass to land. 'Balance of a mortgage debt after de dueling the amount for which the property was bought by the mortgagee on foreclosure is held, in First National Bajk vs. Elliott (Ala.), 47 L. A. A. 742, nol to constitute a “lawful charge” which the statute requires a creditor of the mortgagor to pay on redemption from the sale. Contract limitation in an insurance policy requiring suit to he brought within twelve months after loss Is held, in Harrison vs. Hartford Fire Iniurnnce Company (Iowa), 47 L. It. A. 709, not to be subject to a code provUlon that a new suit brought within slk months after termination of a former one shall be deemed a continuation of the first. A note to tills case reviews the authorities on stipulation limiting time for suit on insurance policy—when begins to run. A stipulation that suit can he brought on an insurance policy only “within twelve months next after the lire" is held, In Sample vs. London and Liverpool Fire Insurance Company (S. C.), 47 L. It. A. 006, to give the Insured twelve months after the accrual of his right of action, where the policy provides that suit cannot be brought until after full compliance with numerous requirements, and that the loss shall not lie payable until sixty days after notice and proofs of loss and an award ky appraisers, if appraisal is required.

Spell on the Spellbinder.

Many spellbinders have false teeth, nml unless the plates lit well there !s liable to be trouble when they soar Into the realms of enthusiastic oratory. An aunoying, yet amusing, Incident occurred the other day to *J. Leslie Gossin while addressing au audience on the Bowery. Mr. Gossln is nu actor, s teqeher of elocution, nnd a flue speaker. Conversing with a friend, he complained that he suffered a good deal of trouble because his false-teeth plate frequently fell when he was speaking loudly. "That's easily remedied," replied his friend. “How?” “Got some gum nnd Rprlnkle a few drops on the plate and put It- iu position again.” The gum was procured, hut Mr. Goosin made the mistake of applying so much of It to the plate that before he hud been speaking ten minutes the gum hnd scattered about his mouth, so that Ills Ups, except In one small spot, were almost sealed. Ms. Gossln hurl to stop speaking.—New York Times.

Out of the Question.

Jackson—Why don’t you get some of your friends to help you out? Jumpuppe—Because I aiu so poor I can’t afford to accept favors. The people who confer them expect too much In return.—San Francisco Examiner.

Women's Doings.

ARTIFICIALITY IN WOMAN. uatural woman is becoming II a rarity, and in her place we have her opposite, called the artificial woman. Bhe is not artificial in a vulgar way any more than the flowers she wears on her bonnet are great, glaring manufactured articles, but the bloom on her cheek, although daintily pink, does not come and go with the tide Of the heart. Her deftly-arranged little curls do upt blow imo pretty disorder, with the wind, but remain decorously where she placed them with pins and veils before she left her dressing room. From head to foot she is a product of art, and she Is not unpleasing to look at, which she thinks Is the great argument for her being, says the Pittsburg Press. But she Is as artificial within her inner self as she looks to tno naked eye. The graceful flowing talk of the world is not.from her own hand but culled from books or conversation of others. -This would be all right if she would think the same as they; but she does not, she cannot even understand the meaning of half that she says, any more than she could analyze the chemical properties of the rouge ooi her cheeks, hut it pleases the ear, just as she pleases the eye, therefore it goes on. ,

llow is this, girls? Is the bright, breezy American girl, whose chief charm lias always been her kinship to that nature who has been st> lavish in our country, only a sham? The cynic says so, and moreover, he maintains that mankind thinks so. If so. then the girls should cry a halt; for It is on girlhood that the structure of womanhood, beautiful or disappointing, is built. Illonse and Sleeves. Though not boasting of any great originality, the blouse is such a pretty one, and one so easy of accomplishment withal, that it is sure to have a large following. The lining is cut square, so that the guipure yoke back and front is transparent, the silk being set into groups of tucks from it, the same ornamenting the sleeves, which are of the bishop persuasion. The first sleeve boasts an upper sleeve of accordion kilted chiffon or mousseline de soie, ending above the

elbow with a draped frill of lace to display the plain undersleeve. Tlie second provides a good shirt sleeve thickly gathered to Inflow the elbow, where the fullness Is fixed into tucks above the deep plain band. And the last gives a good specimen of the prevailing double sleeve for walking dresses. Girl’s Important Lffice. To Miss Grace Kennedy, a 20-ycar-old Chicago girl, belongs the distinction of holding tlie office of Commissioner

of tin* Court of Claims iu Santa Fe, N. M. She is probably the only w oman i u the country who has held that position, and the age of tlie fair commissioner makes it more noteworthy. Miss Iv e n u e d y w a s graduated from

MISS KENNEDY.

one of the Chicago high schools and before going to New Mexico was employed as secretary In a large business house. The work was hart! and she was kept constantly busy until her health failed. In the quest of health she moved to Santa Fe and became secretary in the offices of the Bureau of Immigration and later occupied the place of private secretary to T. B. Catron, ex-di'lcgate to Congress. To Keen n Room Sweet. One may keep one’s rooms sweet with tlie fragrance of violets all winter by setting little bowls of powdered orris root about In them. The orris root should lie renewed once or twice a month, nnd the bowls washed whanever It Is changed, says the Minneapolis limes. Dainty Jnpnncsc bowls and qnalnt dishes nnd vases make the beet receptacles, nnd It Is wise to cover them during the night to preserve the sweetness of the powder. By bunging sachets of orris root In the clothespresses one's garments will lie given an evasive frgrnnce, unobjectionable even to those who adhere to the paradox that "a woman should smell only of the open.” Household Clean linens. Even iu the ordinarily well tnnnnged houselMild, according to a physician, there Is little Idea of the perfect cleanliness that Is required Iu the sick-room. Old furniture, old pni»er on the walls, old carpets, are sources of Impurity and consequently dnugerous to a marked degree. Hornet lines the wall paper, While fresh and new In Itself, hag been

put on over an old layer, thus providing an economical resort for germs. Old carpets are cleaned superficially with a broom, which at the same time scatters the dust through the air to settle on the furniture and pictures and to be wafted off Into the air again by means of the feather duster. Old upholstered easy chairs or couches are bound to encourage disease, as Is anything which provides a lurking place for dust. Descending to the kitchen, lcok well to the atirte erf ytmr dtsh rags. These should be washed and driejfl in the open air as religiously as If tliey were napkins or tablecloths. A dish rag or cloth that does service day after day and is simply rinsed out after dishwashing and hung up in the house till after the next meal is not safe. The good housekeeper rotates the dish cloths as well as the drying towels. Mnde a Fortune. Worthy to be classed among women of achievement is this little Syrian girl, Itosle Ability* who Is just returning to

her own country with a fortune large enough to keep her people in luxury the balaueeof their lives, and every penny of it earned upon the Pacific coast. Slie ran away from home and went to San Francisco five years ago. At first she sold

jewelry, notions and trinkets from door to door, and later she developed a keen instinct for the safe investment of her earnings. At oiq? time, learning that the soldiers, then awaiting transportation to the Philippines, wore without ffinds, she went out to camp with $250, which she loaned in small sums to the soldiers on their verbal promise to pay with 100 per cent interest. She did not lose a dollar by the venture, and before the boys of the various regiments had left camp she had gained between $4,000 and $5,000 by loans, always without security, and by the sale of jewelry and various trinkets. Her family lives in Damascus. About the Hair. Hair is a living plant, but dirt is not its proper soil. Keep it clean with soap and warm water, clean towels and quick drying, every two weeks. Bitter apples and rum—half pint rum to an ounce of the apples—is a very stimulating tonic for weak hair. Singe it every two months; it is far. better than cutting. The women in the Indiess have superb hair, and singe it often. Brushing makes the hair shine, and borax baths make it fluffy. Do not use borax too often or it will bleach and rot tlie hair. Never use dyes. If your hair has been “touched up” until the texture of the hair is like raveled rope, do not repeat the odious peroxide wash, hut have it shampooed with good olive oil soap. It needs good blood way beneath the growth. A good tonic is often needed of quinine, and will stimulate the growth. Scalp diseases are more common than people know. The hair hides many unpleasing proofs of this truth. Therefore, it is very unadvisable for several persons to use the same brushes.

The New Century Mother. \Vo give our daughters unto noble toil. As Roman mothers gave their sons to war. They wield nor sword, nor gun; no nation spoil; Yet their sweet conquest may reach wide and far. ’Tis theirs earth's sad and broken hearts to hind: At their young touch earth's dear, dear hopes revive; The wandering sister they are quick to find; The erring brother’s soul they save alive. The little children, led by their soft hands. Climb heights of service—tho’ by flowery ways. They'll win the world, our fair evangel bands! They’ll bring the dawn of life's millennial days! —Myrta Lockett Avary. • No More Collars. The no-collnr finish Is spreading. It promptly made headway for house dresses, aud now it Is appearing in street gowns with Indorsement that, promises equally ready acceptance of It there. Street dresses of summery types are made with little square yokes cut out, the neck showing bare. The throat Is relieved sometimes by being tied around with several bauds of narrow velvet. To Clean Fine Lace. | Often lace has lost Its freshness, hut yet Is not sufficiently soiled to require washing. It Is then a good plan to lay It by for a week In tissue paper, under the pressure of a heavy book or other weight, having first well covered the soiled parts with calcined magnesia. After shaking out the powder the lace will appear quite fresh and clean once more. How to Keep Vlo'cta Fresh. A bouquet of violets may lie kept crisp and fresh for several days with a little care.

RECORD OF THE WEEK

INDIANA INCIDENTS TERSELY TOLD. New Center of Population Marked— Ciunrette Fiend Kills Himself-New Game Law Proposed—Ohio Company Leases Oil Lands—Talked to Death. Ten years ago the census bureau located the center of population of the United States eighteen miles east of Columbus, near Westport, 39 degrees 11 minutes and 56 seconds west latitude and 85 degrees 32 minutes and 53 seconds north longitude. Upon information now given out >y Government Census Director Merriam i Columbus party by mathematical calculations located tlie center of population in a wheat field on the farm of Frank Wright, nine miles north of Taylorsville, in the southwest corner of the northeast quarter, section 15, town 10, range 5 east. An inscribed board marks the spot. Suicide of a Young Student. Eugene Stanstield, aged 18, freshman in the Columbus high school, committed suicide. He had fallen behind in school and was requested to return'in the evenings. He rebelled at this and refused to go to school. His mother told him he would either attend school or go to -hist father at Mount Carmel, 111. He said he would leave and Went to pack his trunk. Instead of doing this, however, he tied the trigger of a rifle to his toe, placed it to his left breast and fired, killing himself instantly. Young Stanstield had been a confirmed and inveterate ci--garette-s+Hoker-fer six or seven years, his growth being greatly retarded thereby.

Plan to L cense Hunters. A new game law, having for its purpose the protection of the hunting preserves of the State from encroachment by Chicago sportsmen, will be introduced at the forthcoming session of the State Legislature. The Kankakee marshes are the favorite hunting grounds of thousands of Chicago huntsmen. The proposed law provides that all persons living outside of the State shall procure a license to hunt iu Indiana. The law has the backing of all the organizations of hunters in the State. Lease* Oil Lands. One'of the biggest deals in oil lands made in the Indiana field in the last year was concluded when the Ohio Oil Company filed for record leases on lands in Adams and Wells counties. The total number of acres is 2,200 and the farmers who executed the documents obtained very favorable terms. Thirty-four landowners joined in the lease. Fatal Mania in a Novel Form. Mrs. Avery of Newcastle died at a hospital in La Porte, her death being due to stratfge causes. About seven days before, a mania for constantly walking and talking developed and grew upon her to such an extent that she was practically uncontrollable. The ceaseless walking and—talking, cunxiimeil until slip became so exhausted that death resulted.

Directors of the Indianapolis Southern officially announce that they have decided to put on the open market $1,000,000 of tin* preferred stock of the road. Accompanying the announcement is the first official statement its to the route of the new road. It is to run to the following county scats: Nashville, Brownstown, Salem, Hock port and Paoli: also West Baden, French Lick, Ferdinand and Greeuview. The road will furnish direct connection with Evansville, and with Owensboro and Louisville, Ky. Ultimately the company will build a branch to Bloomington and into Greene and Sullivnn counties.
