Should Won sn Smoker

10 her last novel, "Ths Witness Of the
Suu," Amelie Rives says Of Nadvorine's
mother that the perfume Of the cigarette
was upon her breath and in her hair. 1t is
a very common thing for Russian women
to smoke cigarettes. Many South Ameri-
can women also smoke them, and the habit
is not regarded with disfavor among women
of Italy. Turkey and some other countries.
Some Of our maternal ancestors in this
country used to do worse than smoke cigar
cites, they smoked pipes: and occasionally
a very old and very respectable American
woman may yet be found who "hits the
pipe" A good many young American
women smoke cigarettes, but generally
thcy seem to be ashamed to do SO openly.
The habit, however, is growing one
Should women rokel That is the ques-
tion which Charlotte Adams, Belva A.
Lockwood, Mrs. Frank Leslie and Ella
Wheeler Wilcox attempt to answer in a
New York newspaper. Three of them say
that they should not
Charlotte Adams thinks they should. She
quotes from George Sand, who said that
the smoke of fame was not worth the smoke
of pipe, and who was addicted to ciga-
retto smoking. The cigarette for women,
however, mus be Of Russian, Turkish or
Spa auish manufacture. She declares that
women who have reached old age find in
the cigarette "a more congenial - nrade, a
truer lover and kinder friend than any
the world can offer BESIDES"
Mrs. Lockwood says the cigarette will
waste the flesh Of woman, increase her
nervous disorders. tarnish her complexion,
and impair her eyesight; besides, having less
money than men to spend ON luxuries, the
indulgence Of the cigarette habit would ex-
haust her purse Mrs. Leslie thinks woman
should not smoke because her power over
man lies in making him feel that she is
purer aud better than he, and when she
descends to his level, he becomes her master.
Mrs. Wilcox thinks woman should not
smoke for the same reason that she should
not wear pantaloons, or ride a horse in q
masculine attitude-it is unfeminine. A man
might derive some sort Of pleasure from
seeing smoke curl from pretty feminine
lips, she SAYS, but he would hardly ask the
owner Of the lips to become his wife,
Common sense, refinement, and sense of
respect for themselves and for the opinions
OF others should deter women from smok-
ing. A fragrant Havana between the lips
Of a strong man is all very well, but even a
Russian, Turkish or Spanish cigarette be-
tween the lips OF woman is not pleasing
sight

A Woman In the Boar Pit

WASHINGTON, April 10.-The feat of the two
New York reporters who entered den of lions
and tigers in company with their trainer, had
q counterpart at the Smithsonian institution
was standing in front OF the bear pit, an ele
gantlY dressed woman Of apparent refinement
approached, and. after looking through the
bars few minutes, exclaimed impulsively:
How | should like to hug that bear"
Well, there's nothing to prevent it," said
the captain
But how shall get in, the visitor asked
door at the side and, without moments hesi-
tation o. even a loss of perfect composure, the
lady followed her guide into the pit. Going
boldly up to the largest bear she patted him on
the head, to the intense astonshment ami ad-
miration OF the captain, VINO remarked:
Madam, you're the nerviest woman in Wash
ington"
Thinking to test her further, Capt weedin
began to edge Off toward the door, but his guest
had evidently read about the traits OF wild ami
mails In captivity, and kept close to the keeper
side, making her exit safely in his company,
and departed without making herself known.
She ran a greater risk than she was probably
aware Of, for, had she offered to touch either OF
the other animals in the pit, in all likelihood
not even the captains presence would have pre-
vented her from being roughly dealt with il not
seriously injured.
There was tragic incident few nights ago In
the building containing the wild animal cages,
which has been kept quiet by those In charge.
The pride OF the collection is sleek Texas
ja2uar, Jack by name, who although he has
Oeen in captivity since he was only three weeks
OLD, has not aba Q | one particle OF his native
feroclty. Capt Weedin had pair Of Scotch
terriers which he turned loose in the building
after dark. The other night the watchmen
were startled by q series OF ear piercing yeps,
which soon CO lsed, and were followed by most
pitful whining. When Capt. Weedn who had
been aroused by the racket reached the build
ing, he fund only one OF the dogs. The other
could n nJt be seen. After searching some time
he discovered its collar in Jacks cage, but not
so much as q hair remained in sight. The
jaugar had caught the dog as it put its paws
upon the edge OF the cage, and, pulling 1t
through the space under the lower bar and
floor, had deyoured it, rejecting nothing but
the metal collar.
Prof. HornAdAy and Capt, weedin have suo-
ceeded in bringing into fair condition the
panther, or mountain Hon. sent TO the insttu'
tion from No 5tana. II was caught in q trap
when young aud both fore feet inangled so that
locomotion was almost impossible. IL is now
about year old and, although still crippled in
its movement, IL is able TO leap ~ feet at a
The latest addition to the collection Is black
foot weasel from Kansas, n very rare animal.
II Is sure death to rats, and in It's search for
them is able to accommodate itself to the mar

est mice. while In its ordinary condition It's

a Bright Outlook.

A week has passed since the great fire and
make fair estimate Of their losses and to
decide upon their course with respect TO re-
building While the losses were great, they
were not so great, so far as learned, as TO
prevent toe rebuilding Of any Of tho more
important buildings. In fact, there is every
reason to believe that the entire burnt
district, within year or so, will be covered
with much better buildings than occupied
it before the fire.
The sufferers have been occupied in get
ting their insurance adjusted aud in putting
their aft airs in shape during the last few
days, so as to be comparatively free TO give
all necessary attention to the work of re-
building. This week doubtless a good be-
ginning will he made in clearing away the
rubbish and in deciding upon building
| plans
The importance Of beginning the work
upon new buildings at the earliest possible
moment and of pushing it forward ener-
getcaly cannot be overestimated. A scene
Of great activity has an inspiring effect.
With a score of buildings being erected in
the heart Of the city, not including the two
public buildings and the ne hotel, the i'm
preston Will be created that the city is on a
big loom. This np!ession will not be con-
fined to our own people. 1t will get abroad
and help us IN many ways.
With great activity in building the con-
fidence i'll the city's future will steadily be-
come stronger. Finer buildings will be
erected, both for homes and for business,
ard new business enterprises will be en-
gagged in with less hesi ancy than If there
were apparent a feeling Of apathy. I'm
dertakings which have the general good for
their object will be lent a helping hand
more readily, and in every kind Of business
