Nicotine whims of Statesmen.

Senator Hampton has a queer habit
He does not chew or smoke to any eX-
tent, but he is fond of pinching off
sections of a fine cigar, powdering it
in his hand and shutting it. He will
sit in the cloak room where he can
see the presidents desk and snuff
cigars for an hour at time.
Senator Daniel, of Virginia, also
has nicotine fad 1t is to indulge in
dry smoke" That is, he keeps an
unsmoked or half smoked cigar in his
mouth all the time.
Gen. Samuel Thomas, of the Brice-
Thomas Seney syndicate got into this
habit as compromise between smok
ing and not smoking, and the result
was surgical operation to remove a
tumor like growth that appeared on
his lips just at the place where he al
ways held his unlighted cigar. The
doctors told him TO either smoke or let
the whole thing alone, but not TO carry
an unlighted cigar in his mouth. =

Drawing Room Innovations.

1t has always been the practice alb
solutely to forbid the attendance at
drawing rooms of ladies who had
been divorced, although from no fault
of their own. This was a Draconian
regulation to which there could be no
exception. The queen, however, sew
eral years ago very sensibly came to
the conclusion that lady whose con
duct had been blameless ought not to
be excluded from court because she
had divorced her husband on account
of his misdeeds The matter was
brought before the cabinet, but some
high church statesmen notably Mr.
Gladstone and Lord Selborne) were
Mortified at the suggested innovation,
and the thing dropped. The question
has since, however, been revived, and
the result Is that a LADY, who has di
vorced her husband may 60 to court
after she has received a special permits
sion. Every application goes before the
queen herself, and her majesty de-
cides each case on its merits. London

opinion is expressed that if it were gen
orally known how many cases of chron-
ic headache, of inability to learn or per
form mental work, were due to chronic
diseases of the nose many of these
would be easily cured, and the number
of child victims of the so called over
