Show MUCH TROUBLE; LITTLE SMOKE. Chinaman Has Hit Own Way of Enjoying En-joying Tobacco. Of all smokers tho Chinaman goes to the greatest trouble and obtains tho least result. "He carries," bays an observer, "a little box almost twice the size of an ordinary sliver cigarette case. This Is half-filled with water. In one end Is a removable tiny tube to servo as a pipe, at the other end is the pipe stem. First of all be lakeB out the tube and blows through it to remove all blockage. Then he fumbles fum-bles through his awkward clothes, searching for tobacco, and produces a bit of rag In which It Is wrapped, Carefully he extracts a wad of tobacco, tobac-co, puts away his rag and slowly plugs the tube, which holds, perhaps, the tenth part of an ordinary cigarette. Hut he. never has any matches. So ho has to borrow or hunt out a brown paper stem and light It it glows for a long time and can be puffed Into flame again. Ho gives a long draw, slowly enjoying It to Its full extent for the moment or two, then back Rgaln through the old routine to find his tobacco, to-bacco, fill his pipe and get it lighted." |
