NO SMOKING IN PUBLIC.
In Some German Towns the Weed is Pro.

In Some German Towns the Weed is Pro-
hibited on the Streets.
The consumption of tobacco of all kinds
in France, according to recently compiled
statistics, is nearly 125,0O0,O0O pounds
per year. An analysis of the figures
shows that the people of Northern France
use nearly four times as much per capita
as those in the southern provinces. Al
most every other country of Europe, how
ever, consumes more smoking tobacco in
proportion to its population than doea
France.
This is especially the case with Ger
many. In many small German towns
smoking in the streets is forbidden. Less
than fifty years ago if man yentured
on the streets of Berlin with cigar in
his mouth he would be liable to arrest.
The same provision existed until 1913 in
Vienna, though the law was not OBJ
served by the populace. The town of
Brock, in Holland, which is said to be
the cleanest city in the world, has long
forbidden the people within its walls to
smoke after sunset in the streets unless
with covered pipe. sin order that the
cinders may not be blown about" Smok-
ing with an uncovered pipe in German
or Austrian forests in an offense that is
vigorously punished. and as a result of
this regulation forest fires are rare in
those countries

But Now He Rules the Country as Con-
querOr.
Tripoli traders who have come in lately
from Bornu, in the Soudan. tell an excit-
ing tale of the rise of a new conqueror.
His name is Rabah, a slave, and later a
lieutenant of Zebehr Pasha, formerly
Egyptian governor of Darfur.
When Gordon fell Rabah, who was col
lecting taxes in the Soudan, made his
way with a body of fighting. men to Bag
hirmi. southeast Of Lake Tchad. and not
only held his own against the Mahdists,
but conquered the country far and wide.
He then turned against the Sultan of
Bornu, whose capital is Kuka, on Lake
Tchad, where the traders were. Ashem,
the Sultan. was defeated, and Klari,
Ashem's nephew, who succeeded as Sui
tan, gathered fresh forces and attacked
Rabah again and again, but was always
repulsed. Rabah is a free lance, fighting
for his own band and profit; his army
lives on pillage. He is tall, spare negro,
very energetic, and of simple tastes.
He has collected a large store of gold,
silver. coral. feathers and ivory. and has
a good number of modern rifles. His
power is absolute, and he is rapidly form
ing a powerful state behind the French,
English and German Hinterlands.

The Largest Painting.

The st. Louis Republic thinks that the
most remarkable piece of panoramic
painting ever attempted was 20O0-mile
view of scenery along the Mississippi
river which was executed by John Ban
ward, the artist, who died at Watertown,
S. D., in the summer of 1891. This
panorama, which gave faithful and clear
cut pictures OF bluffs, river mouths,
farms, prairie dells and wooded promon-
tories along the Father of Waters for II
distance almost as great as that which
separates st. Louis from New York. was
painted on a strip of canvas twenty-five
feet wide and nearly two miles long.
Nothing similar has ever been attempted
on such gigantic scale, and, while Ar
fist Barnard was not known as the
Michael Angelo of America" he will
long be remembered by the lovers of the
curious, in either art or nature, as tho
man who painted the largest painting
ever known.

RUSSIAN CENTENARIANS.
That Country is Prolific of Aged People,
Mostly Men.

Russia seems to be prolific Of centenari-
ans, though one would hardly be disposed
to regard the general conditions Of exist
ence under the government of the Gar
as conducive of longevity. Last year
we were told of the French cavalry
colonel who fought in his middle age at
Borodino, and would not, perhaps. have
died even in his 18th year if some
benevolent persons had not got up SUBJ
scription for his benefit.
Lawrentz Effimoff, who has just
shuffled of this mortal coil in the Prov
ince of Samara, beats this worthy hol-
low. He was half way through his sec
ond century when death cut short his ca,
reer. He probably owed the prolongat ior,
of his days to the fact that he spent his
youth in the honorable and healthy pro,
fession of brigandage. In the reign Of
Catherine II. he belonged to the famous
band commanded by Pougatcheff, and,
having been caught, was sent by the EN-,
press to Siberia. However, he had his
revenge by surviving his persecutrix just
100 years. He did not initiate most of
his rivals in senility by retaining his fa>
culties to the last. for he was blind for
some time before bidding farewell to the
World.-Pall Mall Gazette.

BEARS CLIMB TELEGRAPH POLES.
Buzzing of the Wires Makes Them Think
Bees Are Around.

Bees Are Around.
The abandoned telegraph line which
the Western Union Telegraph company
set about establishing through Alaska
about thirty years ago is to be revived,
the company deciding that there is suhi-
cient business to warrant it's construc-
ton. The line will be built to Forty
Mile creek on the Yukon, and branches
will run to Sitka and Juneau, thus put
ting Alaska in touch with the world
The plan thirty years ago was to CON
struct line through Alaska by way of
Behring straits to Siberia, and thence
to ST. Petersburg. Before the line had
been finished to Alaska the success of
the Atlantic cable made the TRANSIT
berian line unnecessary. One of the
principal difficulties the telegraph en-
countered was from bears, which took
the telegraph poles for bee trees and the
humming Of the wires as the sound of
disturbed bees. They tore down many
poles in their active search for the honey
supposed to be concealed in them. Bears
are still numerous in that region and
the enterprise of carrying the telegraph
to that far region may be found more
difficult to accomplish than is now
