Victor Hugo's Coffin.
London Daily News.l

Victor Hugo's coffin is an offset oi much interest to foreign and other excur- sionists visiting Paris, and, am sure, without the knowledge of the family. The cicerone who shows it on his way to Ros- seau's adjacent tomb must be coining money. The sight it affords exemplifies in a melancholy way the vanity of fune- real pomp. A lamp throws light on the cofia and the now defaced, tarnished and moldy crowns which are heaped up around it. All that were made of nat ural flowers have been thrown away, bu, they remained long enough to communi- cate their odor of decay to the others So far the heaps of floral ~reaths hav- served to hedge in the coffia and keep amateurs of souvenirs from puiiing oif the cio.n upon it. The moldy flowers are oflen piltered, and there Is trade carried on outside the Pantheon in cast-off violets which have figured on ladies' bo.ne,s, but which are offered by the vendors as coming from Victor Hugo's tomb.

He cut a great chunk of twist of chewing tobacco, and loading up with it, went to work ou the stove with an energy that made the latter hiss like locomotive. thought he d only come to spend the afternoon, but l saw he'd something on his mind, so inst went ahead with my copy, and let the bucolic take his time and sorser get used to the room. I'd about got through with the article, and the old timer h had ap. parently done the same with his investi- gations, and also with his quid, which he hooked out into the middle of the floor with that skill common to certain rural districts, and, putting on his hat, broke out:
 "' Look here, mister, we've got hell of horse up our way.'

 Cigars were not known until about 1915 Preuously to that time pipes were useo exclusively. Chewing has been in vogue to limited extent for some time, while snuffing dates back almost as far as smoking.
 The first package sent to Catharine de Medici was in fine powder. Sue found that smelling it in the box affected her similarly to smoking, which led her to fill one of her smelling bottles with the dust Her courtiers adopted the habit of snuff ing small portions of it up their nostrils, and as the precious stuff became more plentiful the snuffing habit became more general, until at last man or woman was not considered in proper form unless they snuffed.
 The custom became so common in England that snuf-box was no longer a sign of rank. Then it was the law pro hibiting the culture of the plant, except for medicine, was passed. About the same time heavy tariff was placed OF the imported article, thereby practically placing it beyond the reach of the com mon her and giving royalty a complete monopoly.
 Since It hrst began to be used as lux ury there have been conflicting opinions in regard to its effects. The Roman church once forbade it's use, and the church of England acclaimed against it The Wesleys opposed it hotly, and at one time it was considered so unclean as to unfit men for membership in the Metho- aust church.
 Baptist and Presbyterian ministers preached against it, and societies were or. ganiz d to oppose the spread of the habi , but all to no purpose. Parents disownee aud disinherited their children because they used 1t, and husbands divorced thei, wives on account of their having con- uacted the habit of smoking. It is singular that when women ge, into the habit of smoking pipe they pre-. fer strong one. There are few men who have nerve to smoke a pipe such as a woman likes when she has become a confirmed smoker. When they first be- gin pufhng cigars they preter them very mild but 1t is not long until thev wan, them black and strong and lots of them.

A Girls Idea Of Life.

The ordinary girls idea of life is to
dance through few seasons, have a
crowded reception evenings, plenty
of partners at ball, to secure a GER
tain number Of offers, and then mar
ny for love or otherwise. Her father,
whether he can afford it or not, gen
orally gives her brilliant wedding,
in which she makes triumphant exit,
for nine cases out of ten it is literally
the last of her. Some few, who mar
ry rich men and retain their youth
ful spirits, return after year or two
of domestic seclusion to the pleasures
of society, and have Il better time
than of old, but the ordinary girl be-
comes simply the wife of her husband
and the mother Of her children
nothing more; and what is more, she
seems to be perfectly satisfied, and to
have envy for no one, with the eX.
ception, perhaps, of those who arr
better of in this worlds goods. She
may cast fleeing regret for the
more delicate obligation and freedom
of her girlhood, but gradually neg
lects her reading aud Conversations

pOrtance in her own immediate circle
