TMte and DUarlmlnatlon Shown by Dif
ferent Nationalities—Until 1850 Anglo-
Saxon Women Did Not Smoke Cigarette*.
Now It Is Almost Proper.
Desplto the crusado led on the one side
by tobaccophobiaca and on the other by
enterprising American cigar dealers, tho
wicked cigarette stUl keeps on Its career of
conquering and to conquer. It Is made
and used in every land, and, aocordlng to
somo Gorman statistician, enough aro
smoked every year to roach to tho moon.
Only of late years has tho cigarette been
used by women of tba Anglo-Saxon race.
As latoaslS50lt wasan unheard of thing
for an English or American lady to use
tho dreaded article. Since then there has
been a revolution In every respect. The
otgarette Is used universally in both Great
Britain and the United States and In dally
Increasing quantities by the women of
both countries.
The habit received official sanction In
1883, when tho Princess of Wales first put
them on the table at a largo dinner purty
given to her own sox, and In this oountry
when the wife of a president served them
at a ladles' dinner at tho White House.
In other countries there Is no such preju
dice. Womon and girls use them along
side of their fathom and brothers. Never
theless womon do not smoke them exactly
as men do. They ore in the main more
delicate and dainty. I spoke to a leading
Broadway tobacconist yesterday, and ho
said: ‘‘Mon smoko any cigarette that
comes along and generally prefer thosa
that are stronger or course. Only one man
in SO shows' any judgment and ahooses
tho flnost varieties In the market.
“When women buy cigarettes, it is Just
tho opposite. Nearly all want tobaccos as
lino ns those of Turkey or Egypt, and only
ono In ton cores for tho harsher flavor of
tho American leaf.”
“Mma H. da lo Croix, wife of Professor
do le Croix, one of tho distinguished for
eign representatives at the World's falp,
has travolod very extensively and given
this subject considerable thought. Sho
said to mo: ‘If you tako It the world
around, women aro much more fastidious
in tholr smoking than aro men. In Bel
gium, where I was born, tho women fol
low tho oxamplo of tholr French sisters,
but not with tho eamo abandon and grace.
“ ‘In Franco any number of womon dls-
slpato in this fashion. They enjoy a wlilff
with their coffee after n meal or during a
friendly chat or an ovenlng party. Thoy
prefer light cigarettes, but, strange to say,
do not seem to core for mouthpieces.
Thoy have n very pretty kind, which, I
think, are homemade. Thoy are wrapped
in rlco paper, but aro hardly any thicker
than a match. I havo soon a few of tills
sort in Germany, but nowhere else.
“ ‘The Spanish women aro lnvotorate
smokers, but confine tholr choice to the to
baccos of Cuba and Porto Rico. Thoy dis
like tho manufactured article and almost
invarlebly roll tholr own. Thoy use n flaky
preparation, which can bo readily put Into
proper shapo. Thoy also show considera
ble Ingenuity In tholr selection of paper
Besides tho white rice paper and cotton
papor thoy employ tobacco paper and ma
terial flavored with chooolato, rose, vanil
la, musk and othor perfume*.
“ ‘The Portuguoso areasmuob addicted
to smoking as tho Spaniards. Thoy llko
tho strong, block tobacco of Brazil and
annually Import of It largo quantities.
Tho women aro not os dollcato In their
smoking as aro thoso of Spain and France.
The tobacco Is so block that It discolors
their teeth as well as their fingers and fre
quently Induces tho front teeth to decay.
•' ‘Along tho African shore, In Algiers
and Tunis, both tho native and European
women indulge In tho habit. They have
a great variety to choose from. They grow
a fair quality of tobacoo In that country
and make It Into very passable cigarettes,
and they also mix It with the American,
Spanish nnd Turkish leaves. The native
womon havo a comical way of squatting
down In Turklah fashion and making a
batch of cigarettes upon one of the low ta-
blos In uso In that part of tho world.
Thoy think nothing of rolling 60 or 100
at a single sitting. Some are hard smok
ers and do away with just ns many os thoy
can make.
“ ‘Egypt Is dovbted to the weed. Strango-
]y enough, although tho land grows to
bacco, It is of such poor quality as to bo
used by none save tho poorest. That
which Is employed both for homo con
sumption and exportation to nil parts of
tho globe comes from Roumantaand Rou-
mail a.
“ 'In China tho trail of tobsodo smoko
Is everywhere. Almost every-Chinaman
is well acquainted with tho weed, and so
are millions of tho othor sex. A Chinese
lady Is oxtrcmcly exquisite In hor enjoy
ment of nicotine. Sho will not touch tho
tobacco of hor own land or of Japnrr, ’Su
matra or Manilla, but wants the finest va
rieties of American or English manufac
ture. Instead of rolling It In one paper she
docs It In two, so arranging tho sheets
that the lower ono bccomcB a mouthpleco
and the upper ono a reservoir of the to
bacco. . She smokes It almost to tho .last
particle and then throws tho mouthpiece
away. Tho olgarotto Itself Is very thin
and the- smoke light and cool. In this
way she avoids staining hor tooth or her
hands. When tho smokes, sho washes It
down with occasional drafts of hot too,
and when finished sho employs a tonguo
•matter, • toothbrush and sachet powders
to still further cleanse her mouth.
Wealthy Chinese ladlos will havo qultoan
outfit. There will be two or three hand
some jars for holding the tobacco, a hand
some matchbox, an osb Cup, a llttlo vaao
for holding tho cigaretto papers, a silver
urn for the finished cigarettes, two or
three small boxes for mouthpieces and a
bandsomo salver of cither metal or lacquer
upon which all these things aro served.
“ ‘The women of Japan aro moderate
smokers. They uso Japanese tobacco,
which looks llko reddish brown sewing
silk and Is rather Insipid and weak. They
roll It, but not with the same grace as tho
Spaniards, end smoke It under the most
Incongruous circumstances. Ono Is with
the meal and tho other whon taking a
bath. It is no uncommon thing for two
Japanese ladles to bo bathing in the same
room, and to Increase the pleasure of the
occasion by using cigarettes from tho time
they enter the room until they leave It.
They are exquisitely cleanly, these Japa
nese women, and bathe so many times a
day In hot water that they never carry
with them the familiar nicotine per
fume.' "—New York Herald.
* Strategy.-
Cqptaln—What Is strategy In war?
Glvo mo an Instance.
Sergeant—Well, strategy is when yon
don't let the enemy discover that yon are
out of ammunition, but keep right on fir
ing.—Exchange.
Bow It Was Organised and Conducted la
Defiance of Pavltamentary Daw.
Asa rule, women havo no uso for parlla-
mentnry law and very fire-ideas of organi
sation. This whs humorously Illustrated
tho other day when half a dozen ladles
met to otganlso a church charitable socie
ty. After thoy had wit looking at each
other a trifle nervously (or awhile one of
them said:
•It seems we are here. Now, what aro
we going to do?"
‘Oh, dear,” said another, “I don’t
know, but do lot us do someththg.”
What they did was to fall to talking
voluminously upon the work they expe ct
ed to accomplish and the poor folks they
know In tho congregation. Thoy spent
two hours or more at this and discussed a
good many plans. As they were adjourn
ing one of them said:
Oh, I suppose wo ought to have a pres
ident."
“Why, of oourso we ought,” the rost as
sented.
“I don't suppose anybody will objeot to
Mrs. Smith? Let’s have her.”
“AU tight, let’s,” chirruped the rest.
And nobody objected to names proposed
for secretary and treasurer.
The secretary a few days afterward eon-
suited her husband as to how sho qhould
write up tho minutes.
‘‘You should begin, ” said ths man, “by
saying who was chairman of tho meet
ing.”
"Why, wo didn’t havo any chairman,”
broko In tho wlfo.
"Who, then, put ths motions before'the
meeting?”
Oh, we didn’t have any motions,"
said tho lady, laughing. "Somebody
would say sho thonght such a thing would
be nice, and the rest would say tboy
thought so too. That was nil.”
In that case,” said the roan, somowhnt
perplexed, "you will have to sot It down
In the minutes that such end snoh meas
ures were Informally approved. But you
must state olcarly tho name of tho dub,
the constitution and bylaws you adopted,
and”—-
“But,” Interrupted tho lady, "we
havon’t got any name, and we didn't
adopt any constitution and bylaws.
What was tho use? We all know what we
woro thoro for. Besldee we didn’t think
of It.”—Now York Herald.

HOLMES’ MIDNIGHT MESSAGE.
How the "Autocrat” Wm Made a Member
of a Bohemian Club.
Years and years ago, whon tho Boho-
mlon club was In Its Infancy, In tho days
whon tho mombofs mot In tho old Snore-
mento street rooms, thoro was a "Jinks."
Now, a Jinks, especially a Jinks In tho
Bohomlan club, Is not conducted on strict
ly tompcranco principles. This one was
no excoption to the rule. Tommy New
oomb was president of tho Bohemian dub
in those days, and undor his supervision
tho rolns of dlsclpllno woro drawn but
laxly. Tho subject of tho Jinks was the
ten famous professors nt tho breakfast ta
ble. Ono momberredted “Old Ironsides,"
and a moment later another capped It with
“Tho Height of tho Rldloulous.”
Tho “Chambered Nautilus” was follow
ed by “Tho One Hoss Sbay.” And so It
wont until somo spirit bolder than tho
rest Indited a telegram to tho good, gray
poet of Boston, Informing him of his elec
tion to the Bohomlan club, with nil privi
leges appertaining thereunto, and sont It
before tho more sober members could pro
test
Now, Boston Is throe hours nearer the
rising sun than Ban Frandseo. The tele
gram had scarce left the elubrooms before
some mathematically Inclined member
had discovered that It would bo midnight
or later ere the New England dootor and
poet would receive his notification of doo-
tlou. ■—
Judge of tbo astonishment of ths rol-
licking Bohemian crow when a uniformed
messenger of tho telegraph company ran
up the steps with the following message
and askod, “Is doro any answer!”
Menage from San Francisco. Whisper low.
Asleep in bed an hour or more ago.
While on his peaceful pillow ho reclines.
Bay to his friend who sent these loving lines:
"Silent, unsnswerlng, still to friendship true,
He smiles In slumber, tor ho dreams of yon.”
Outrun Wehdxu, Holmxo.
Boston, Feb. 23, 1371, Midnight.
And thus was HolmcB made a member
of tho Bohomlan dub.—San Frenoisco
Examiner.
* Obstinate Ilojal Invalids.
"A king has the right to die, but not
the right to be ill,” said Lonls XVIII to
bis doctors, forbidding them at tho same
time to publish the truth about his condi
tion. Alexander I, perhaps In Imitation
of tho Bourbon ho had helped to his throne,
acted upon tho same principle, though
ho did not embody It In a paradoxical epi
gram. For more than 48 hours—namely,
during Nov. 13 and 18, 1836—ha obsti
nately refused to bo bled, notwithstanding
the urgent persuasion to that effect of his
own pbyslolan, Juno* Wellye, and of
Steptlngen, tho medical attendant of the
empress.
On tho 14th, toward evening, Wellye,
finding all persuasion useless, plainly told
the czar that, having refused tho aid of
science till It was too late, ho had no re-
souroo loft but tho aldof religion. “And I
have an Idea that that will prove a broken
reed to you,” sold the blunt physician, a
worthy predecessor of Zacharln. "I am
afraid that religion will lw of little use to
tho mun whose obstinacy In refusing all
medical aid Is tantamount to suicide.”
Thirty hours later tho eldest sou of Paul I
had breathed bis last.—Illustrated London
Nows.
A Civilised Gorilla#
At tho aquarium in Berlin there 1* a big
gorilla whose habits are a great deal more
correct than thoso of most of his distant
reloll re*. Ho gets up at 8 o'clock in tho
morning, takes a bath and use* soap with
out hesitation. Whon bis toilet Is com
pleted, he takes a cup of milk, alter which
he eat* two loaves of bread, with frank-
fort sausages and smoked Immburg I/ft,
nil of which ho moistens with a gloss of
lager beer. At 1 p. m. ho takes a bowl of
soup, with rlco and potatoes and a wing
of a chicken. He use* his knlfo and fork
and napkin llko a born aristocrat, but
whon he thinks that bis keepers aro not
observing him he discards the Implements
of civilisation and plunges his muzzle Into
tho bowl, as If to glvo evldonco of tho
melancholy fact that oven a gorilla can bo
a hog.—London Million.
Cynical.
An Arabian proverb, pot In the form of
a dialogue, reflects the cynicism of Arab
wib It runs thus:
“Yes, he's Indicted, but he’ll never be
convicted. ”
"Why not?"
“Nobody to testify against him.”
"Why not?”
“Because he hasn't any friends."—
