Ask Any Sickle Smoker Why he sticks to Sickle plug and slices off each pipeful as he needs it when he could get tobacco already cut up, in packages. He'll tell you, "because the Sickle way is the only way to get fresh tobacco, that smokes cool and sweet and doesn't bite the tongue." He knows· Tobacco that is cut up at the factory gets dried up on its way to you. Result—it bums fast and hot and "bites." When you cut your own tobacco off the Sickle plug, you are well repaid for a minute's work by fresh tobacco—because all the flavor and moisture are pressed into the plug and held in by the natural leaf wrapper. Get a plug of Sickle at your dealer's today. Notice how much more tobacco you get when you don't have to pay for a package.

MaklD{ the Kitchen Attractive. uIt la the moat attractive room In the whole hoaae,M exclaimed the visitor en thusiastically, aa the bride showed her with well justified pride her trim little kitcheo. "That ia what Jack says," responded the demure little bride. "I made up mj mind that it should be, too. You see, we cannot afford to keep a maid for awhile and, as I must spend the greater part of my time in the kitchen, I re solved to have it as pleasant and com fortable as I could make it.1' "Wise little woman," commended the friend, as pioturee of other kitchens flit ted through her mind and she involun tarily compared tbem with the dainty one before ber. It was a small room, for the bouse It self was tiny, but the attractive wall paper—tiled effect in while and a warm shade of tan,—gave it the effect of being larger. "Aa the kitchen faced north and was so small, Jack and I thought the tan and white effect would be warmer and at the same time seem to give more space. Besides, It corresponds with the woodwork, dresser and other furnish ings," explained the young housekeeper. The floor was covered with a good quality of linoleum in imitation of the hardwood floors, which also accorded well with the oak woodwork, dresser, capacious kitchen table and other furni ture. . ' The window shades were of tan to correspond, and the Dutch curtains wore of white muslin, dotte I with pale yellow poppies. These gave a very sun shiny effect to the room. There was a big, deep-seated rocker in the room, with soft, comfortable cush ions of cretonne in yellow and white de sign, which almost matched the window curtains. A set of banging shelves placed over the table contained the various cook books, as well as some really good liter ature and one or two of the current magazines. "1 often have a minute or two, wheo 1 can sit down in the rocker and read, while 1 am waiting for things to cook," explained the bride, "and 1 made up my mind 1 would have good reading at hand for just thoae spare moments. Tou have no idea how much reading I really get done in that way, and 1 work so much better afterwards for those brief rests in the big chair. 1 often ac complish odd bits of sewing, too." She iudicated the pretty sweet-grass sewing basket with its yellow ribbons, placed on top of the book-shejpes. : There was a high stool in one corner <>f the room, which the bride explained «he used when sitting up to the table to prepare vegetables, and to irou when tier "feet got tired." Two other regula tion kitchen chairs, a dresser, a roomy kitcheu table with numerous capacious drawers underneath, and the range were all the other furnishing which the small ■ oom permitted. Back of the door leading to closet and V/οιιαι π v»w iv..w au» «ν»» — Oa these hung shining cooking utensils —convenient to hand, yet oat of sight when the doors were cloved. On the walls were two or three really good pictures—attractive landscapes in plain but neat oak frames to correspond with the color scheme of the room. These brightened up the room wonder fully, and were restful and delightful to look at. "They were some of the prettiest pic tures we had, bo I put them in here where 1 would see them oftenest and where they wuuld rest and refresh me while 1 was doing my work." Over the kitcheu table, beside the «mall book shelves hung au artistic cai eudar, also with a pretty country scene on it, aud with the dates in good large print. There was also an attractive memorandum pad with burnt leather covering, which the bride said saved her "lots of cudgeling of brains" about things she needed at different times or duties thai required to be done. "It looks almost too pretty for use." "Indeed, it is not," answered the bride quickly. "It is all for use and for com fort. Everything iu the room is wash able, and I assure you is washed often. Even the wall paper is the washable kind. Everything is to make my work e.tsv and pleasant, aud to make my sur rouudings aa comfortable aud attractive as 1 eau Lave them in the room where I a:» ob:iged to spend so much of my titni·." "O > you wonder that 1 love uiy little ki'ciieu?" she asked, with pride, "that 1 enjoy my work here, and never feel like hurrying through it aud off to some other room where 1 cm rest and enjoy niyfeil?" ■'Indeed I don't," responded the ft lend heartily.

London Law Times tells a Étory of the late Lord Ashbourne, who a· lord chancellor tii presiding In the court of appeal In Ireland would occasionally make op hie mind to bring a case te an end before the rising of th* court A junior who was not cotutcloua of his humor stood up to open what ap peared to be a short Interlocutory ap peal. Lord Ashbourne after a sen tence or two bad been spoken Inter jected, "Now, Mr. —» why should w# ' reverse the king's bench on a point like this?" · "My lord," rejoined counsel, "there ' are six reasons why the order ehould be reversed." J "Then," said the president of the court, "suppose we commence with your three best" "No, my lord," said counsel; *1 could not consent to thst because I have fre quently succeeded in this court upon my bad points." , Lord Ashbourne collapsed and for once was unable to have his own way ^ in the court of appeal. On· Voice Muslo. Composers have not scorned writing ι airs to suit the style of particular sing ers, thus, as Francis Rogers remarks, "storing up for the usual voices of sub sequent generations much travail and Borrow." Mendelssohn crowded "Hear i Ye. Israel." with high Ρ sharps to give Jenny Lind, whom he adored, a chance to display the particular beauty of her voice in that region, with the result thut that air has been a sore trial to most sopranos ever since. Faure, the famous French baritone, also had α particularly facile and mel low high F sharp, and many parts were written especially to give him a chance to exhibit it to the gasping mul titude. But In most buritone voices this F sharp ie the very limit of the upper range, and. ulthough It inuyhuve both power and brilliance. It eeldom possesses either mellowness or facil ity: consequently nil the roles written for Faurtse (Meyerbeer's "Dluoruli," for Instuucei are particular trying for the ordinary bnrllone.—Arguuaut. Weight Dead ·ι<ν Alive. It la α very popular n>a that ο per •on when dead weigh* heavier than when living. One reason that a dead body Is thought to be heavier than α living one le probably this: lu carry ing a living person we buvp the center of gravity adapted by the ικί-sou car ried to suit the convenience or the car rier and maintained in α position as far as possible to fall within the base of hie body. Again, tbo elasticity of the structure of the body, especially the cartilages, though not fu reality diminishing the weight, gives an ap pearance of lightness, as we see In the beautiful movements of the stag, and fbls would seem to corroborate the notion thflt living creatures are lighter than dead ones. It has also been As serted that the breath mnk<>e the living body lighter than the dend. But we need hardly say that a man when dead weighs no more than'when living. They Eat the Bait Off the Hook.
