GIRLS WHO SMOKE,

A letter-writer from Hartford says it is
not disputed that there are a great number
of Connecticut young ladies who smoke
cigarettes, and many of them are less than
sixteen years old. Not less than a score of
Norwich maIdens smoke, and two or three
girls in short dresses occasionally are seen
pulling at cigarette while on their way to
school. In many instances the female smok-
ers boldly buy their tobacco supplies at the
cigar stores; In others gentleman friend,
whose age ranges from six to sixty years,
ministers to the feminine demand In Hart
ford the number of young ladies who smoke
is twice or three times as great as that in
this town, and in Bridgeport, New Haven,
Meriden and Waterbury there are female
smokers, both minors and adults, It is eyi-
dent to every one that the officers empow-
cred to enforce the Juvenile Smokers act
will have to be men of conspicuous tact and
inexhaustible discretion.
A startling illustration of the passion
with which Connecticut girls have taken
stand on the tobacco question may be noted
At Waterbury not long ago a fashionable
young lady talked freely with a newspaper
reporter. She said: 20, yes, we 0ll have
smoked more or less. hardly know of a
girl in my acquaintance who has not smoked
cigarettes at some time or other-Just to see
how it would taste or seem, you know
Then lots of US smoke them for toothache
You doubt it? Well, just try it the next
time you have toothache and see whether
it is of any good. It's a sure cure. Most
OF us have the toothache quite often, you
can imagine"
Still another Connec ticut city girl ex-
pressed her views: "Why. of course we
smoke more or less; all society girls do l
mean cigarettes, Of course, though 1 know
good many young ladies in the highest
society circles who rarely pass day with
out smoking half, or at least part, of a
regular full sized mild cigar. Why, it's
easy enough to get cigarettes. All the drug
stores keep cigarettes nowadays, you
know, and nothing i'll Is thought of a young

rrans,,t.ra,,on of Nams.

There are some queer INSTANCES of trans
liberation of names in the province of Que
bee. A suburb of the old city of Quebec
was originally named Shepherdyjl!e, after
an English resident of the name of Shep-
herd. The French translated this into Ber-
gerville, which the English soon corrupted
into Beggarville. Hope Cape was turned
by the French into Cape d'Espoir, which
the English then translated into Cape De-
spair. Point Of Cliffs first became Pointe
des Monts, and was then angiicized, nrss
into Demons Point and then into DEVILS
Point. Reindeer Lake became Lac a Ia
Renne: which was soon corrupted by the
English into Rainy Lake, and then, strange
to say, was corrupted by the French into
Lac q la Pluie

Empress Fredcrick,s Fortune.

The Empress Frederick receives joint
ure of e40, 600 a year from the Prussian
Government, the fortune left to her by the
Duchess of Galllera represents upward of
e12, 900 a year, and she has life interest in
the trust estate Of her husband, besides
her own savings. AS the Empress was all
ways very frugal, and as there was ever in
her mind prospect that she might be left
a widow while her father-in-law was yet
alive, in which case her jointure would have
been very small indeed, she regularly put
aside one-half of her own separate al
ioYance of fS000 a year which was granted
her by Parliament On her marriage, The
Empress accordingly now enjoys an Income
of quite 10000 year, and her children
are well provided for.

A Big Run Of Orders.

A gentleman connected with the man
agement of the Northwood Glass Co.,
stated yesterday that the company has now
on its order book no less than fifty orders,
which can receive no attention till after
the summer stop. He stated that they
could run right through July and August,
if the mems association did not demand
the summer stop. Fall trade with these
neople promises to be very heavy, and
they are now preparing new designs and
models for that seasons trade. Such ex-
pressions as these tend to improve the pub
lie opinion of the glass business in pros
pect. 1t has been very dull all season,
presumably from over. production, but
within the past few days the REGISTER
has been given information from several
sources which leads to the belief that the
dullness must be due to some other cause,
and that fall trade will be excellent.
