he smokes at the public dining Ia Bile,
he smokes everywhere. The presence
of women iS not considered at all.
When coffee is brought on the table.
the Spaniard or Cuban lights his cigar
or cigarette and begins to send up
clouds of smoke. He never even thinks
of saying to the ladies: "Byyour leave"
for the custom of the country is To
smoke everywhere. On the railway
trains there is no smoking conpart-
ment, for man is privileged, and. in
fact. expected, to smoke everywhere.
If he is not smoking. his neighbor will
offer him a cigarette. The driver OF
your coach will smoke and very likely
offer you cheroot. At the opera the
man viii walk and smoke between the
acts in the spaces behind the boxes and
balconies. You will see finely dressed.

country ol Ih' 'iSdI anu the tISdf'ttS'
One of the odd sights to a stranger Is
that afforded by the negro women, who
smoke big, long and black cigars in the
street. 1t was here that the smoking
habit, which has spread around the
world, had its start. and the Cubans are
still more devoted to their cigars than
any other people. The cigar industry
and the tobacco trade give employment
To a large portion of the population of
Havana. In every quarter one will run
across small establishments where
from two to ten men are employed
making cigars, and some children and
women engaged in stripping t-gScco.

SELLS SLAVE GIRLS.
How the Queen of Corea Sustsins Her
Royal Purse.

There are slave girls innumerable
around the royal palaces of the hermit
kingdom OF Corea. says the Philadel-
phia Press. 1t is difficult to find ont
how many there are. One official will
say hundreds. another thousands A
consul who has had opportunity to learn
the facts in the case says there are
about fifteen hundred.
1t is equally difficult to learn where
they come from. Their appearance
shows that they are not from any one
stock. Some are CoreanS and some are
TonghalIs. from Guing -Shang- Do in
the south OF the kingdom; some show
Japanese blood. others Chinese and
still others Manchurian. They are of
all sorts and types. All speak Corean
and nearly all have a smattering of
Chinese. They are all well brought up
and quiet. polite and Industrious. They
begin their career as domestic servants
when mere children and are seldom
found in the royal establishment after
they are twenty-five years old y few
who are unusually good-looking be
come royal concubines and a large
number are taken for the same purpose
10y the princes and lords of the realm.
and. it is said, for very large price.
The rest are sold as commodities to the
highest bidder and the proceeds paid
into the royal treasury.
The latest available blue book of
Cnrea-iN>i-in summarizing the royal
income. includes these articles:
'Nincty-One thousand nine hundred
and seventeen stone of best rice.
'Forty-one Thousand four hundred
and cighty-four stone of beans
''One hundred and seventy-tyvo thou
sand seven hundred and thirteen nyanp
in money.
''Twenty-four Thousand nyang from
sale of slave girls"
\ nyang i a string IF one hundred
copper coins, whose value in American
Thousand to the dollar. The market
value of a girl in Corea varies from ten
to forty dollars. Upon these figures
the monarch must raise and sell in the
public market every year from thirty
To four hundred and eighty young
women. The general average would
bc about two hundred per year. The
custom is not 50 bad as it seems at first
sight The majority are purchased by
men for their wives, and small mi
nority for immoral purposes.
This trade in human beings is con
sidered perfectly Legitimate and has
come down from time immemorial- 1t
il not confined To- the royal palace but
il practiccd to a certain extent all over
Cocrea. The custom is followed like
wise in China and seems to character
ize nearly every Mongolian race.

Very few more unpleasant predica-
mcnts can be imagined than to be
aboard a runaway steamship. The
steamship Marchioness, while making
the passage from Rothesay to Glasgow,
Scotland. met with an accident to her
machinery, and the engineers were un-
able To stop her. The boat raced ahead
at terrific speed, and things began to
look alarming, until the captain took
her out To mid-channel and steered her
around in a circle. When the steam
was nearly exhausted the runaway
was headed for Glasgow, where she
was secured by ropes, and the rest of
the steam let off. -

4 French scientist has recently made
some experiments which show the
amount of force developed by some of
our bicycle cracks during hard race.
American cyclists have maintained for
two minutes speed to continue which
required the expenditure of energy rep
resenting two-thirds of one horse
power For six seconds they were able
to exert the astonishing force of one
and fourth horse power This Is
equivalent to raising a weight of one
hundred and lightweight pounds
ward high in one second. Experiments
are also being made to determine the
force exerted by different sports These
results will be of great use for training
and hygienic data. One of the discov-
cries made during the calculation of
force exerted by bicyclists is that AT
high speed the work of bicyclist in
covering a specified distance is as great
as that of man running the same dis
tance At a moderate speed runner
undergoes three times the labor of a
bicyclist, but the higher the speed the
nearer are their exertions equalized.
