SMOKING IN RUSSIA.
Universal Indulgence in Tobacco.

The London Globe says: The s'1ake which
most forces itself upon the attention = travellers
in Russia is neither the smoke Of til peasant S
sba nor the vapor from flaming towns" 1t is
the smoke caused by the burning of tobacco in
the debatable and much-debated fashion pursued
in the countries of western Europe. Here, how
ever. lack of power or want of will to smoke is
well-ngh unintelligbe. man who objects to
smoking is a much more insutferabe nuisance
than the man who insists upon smoking. To tell
the truth. however. neither of these two classes
exist in this country. The Russians do not divide
society into smokers and non-smOkers they de-
cline to make railway carriages a sort of
battle-ground for those who love the weed and
those who do not; they refrain from suggest
ing. either by word or deed. that mans social
qualities or responsibility can be at all correctly
inferred from his attitude towards tobacco. The
reason Tor this is that in Russia everybody
smokes. and provision is made accordingly.
Save the church. no place is here sacred from
the weed The papyrosis no respecter of dOmes-
tic SanctitieS. Every chamber of every Wel-kept
house has its pepelntsa for the reception of cigar
ashes. Hotels have similar cOnyenienceS, smoking
being practised as well as permitted in
every accessible apartment in these buildings. In
England the railway traveller is left to dispose
of his cigar ashes either by depOsiting them
I on the floor OF the compartment or by diSpOsing
of them through the window. In the former
latter the wind sometimes interferes with the
smokers project. not always to the cOnve-
nience of his fellOw-pasSengers- Here railway
authorities provide a small box or receptacle
in each carriage for the use OF those who smoke
The tobacco question is all the more easy to
deal with in Russia, for the reason that women
smoke a. well as men, The Russians themselves
am here giving Il masculine opinion of the
masculine seX-are inclined to dsparage temi-
nine Indulgence IN the weed. and to regard the
women who smoke as socially fast" 1t is true
enough that one sees few women smoking here in
the street Public use of tobacco in the daytime
is confined among the female sex to the peasant
classes. At the same time disincliIatiOn to be
considered fast is no proof of wOman's in
capacity to consume large quantities of tobacco.
As matter of fact. the middle and the upper
classes in st. Petersburg are all of them, with
rare exceptions, inyeterate smokers The silver
or gold papyrOs case is much more indispensa-
bic than fan to lady mixing in society. To
be without cigars is to be careless of ones rep
utatiOn. For guest, lady or gentleman, to
decline a papyros, is one Of the most serious
| social OffenseS that can be committed

yet in Leadville man came up there from Dem
yer named Dexter--Jim Dexter they called him
and he was full Of life and hope, and had some
money. Dexter looked about him for a while,
and finally bought a claim on Carbonate Hill,
which had, at that time, not been prospected
very well. He paid. 1 think about s15, 600 for
it, and set to work putting in machinery and
sinking the shaft, which was already down
some 100 feet or more. He worked away on
the mine. people laughing at him good deal.
but he never once lost heart. The mine
had not shown up u single thing in the way OF
mineral, and the shaft had been sunk by that
time several hundred feet Dexter did not
know what to do. He had now spent nearly all
the money he had, and nothing was coming in.
One day in the early part of the year 1879
party came to him and asked him what he
would take for his mine. Dexter told him, and
bargain was made between them. The price
paid was. | think. $40, 600, some $1,000 more
than Dexter had spent on it altogether He
was mighty glad to get the $4,000, and
thought himself well out of a bad bargain. He
rushed out to Carbonate Hill and ordered the
miners to drop their tOOlsRnd quit work. This
was about 3 o clock In the afternoon. He said
Boys. | have sold this id hole and / don't
want you to work another minute i'm it for me-
| will pay you off right now and you can quit
Well, the miners had Just finished drill and
were going to place blast and uncover some
rock, and they asked to be allowed to finish it
before they quilted work. No. said Dexter

reluctantly quilted and departed. Dexter got
his money and was happy.
well, the mine had been bought by O stock
company. and in a short time they began work
on it. Now. young man, what | am going to tell
you is the solemn truth" said the miner
Those fellows went up there to that mine and
laid a fuse to the blast left by Dcxter's men and
touched it off. After the smoke cleared away
they went in to see how much rock had been
loosened, when what do you think? There
before their eyes they saw the richest body of
silver ore which has ever been seen since the
world began. At that time hundreds of
thousands of dollars met the gaze OF the de-
lighted owners. of the richest kind of ore. Well
young fellow" continued Mr.. Knowles, that
mine was the celebrated Robert E. Lee, which has
made everybody rich who has had anything to
do with it since Jimmy Dexter sold it. Millions
OF dollars have been turned out of it. and it is
the greatest silver mine in the world"
