Cigarette Smoking In England dates back
10 about 1874. The great impetus to Their
increased use was caused by the Crimean
war of 1896, when numbers OF military
and naval officers adopted this method
Of smoking from the inhabitants OF Russia,
Turkey, Malta, Levant, and other ports OF
Europe. Thefirst well-known person who
smoked cigarettes publicly in the streets
was the late Laurence Oliphant, who had
resided for many years in Russia, Turkey,
and Austria, where the habit prevailed.

The Exhaustion of the Coal supply

The Exhaustion of the Coal supply
The exhaustion of the supply or anthra-
cite coal veins is subject that is now
receiving much attention. William Griffith,
of Scranton, Pa, who has been studyingthe
matter, gives it as his opinion in the Bond
Record that the supplygof coal still avail
able does not amount to more than 5,073,-
7s6,75O tons. The largest estimate made
is that Of the Pennsylvania coal waste
commission, which places the supply at g.
S9S 600, 900 tons. 1t is estimated that
at the present annual rate Of consumption
the coal will be exhausted in from eighty
four to 100 years.

ANsON's GREAT BATTING.

The batting of Arson and DUNCAN and
the fielding Of Comiskey, Wilmot, and
Cooney were the features OF this remarkable
game. Comiskey accepted twenty-seven
chances at first without an error The
most peculiar thing about the game was
that both pitchers were hit hard during
the early innings, but after the fifth
when each club had scored seven runs
neither side scored for fifteen consecutive
innings.
during which the game lasted there were
offered to the fielders 90 fielding chances,
all of which were accepted but ten, Gin
cinnati having six errors, Chicago, four
Only six bases on balls were given by the
two pitchers to the 151 batsme en- who faced
them. But, in spite of this, the records
show that Cincinnati closed the season
in eighth place.

Frequently entire sets are embroidered
for bed room. These consist of bed spread

table cover and scarfs for dresser and wash

these sets. although great variety of other
materials can be used. The designs chosen
for such work should be simple. graceful

sets Great care should be taken in select

To be sure every Florida girl wants to
have neat tasty room of her own and how
best to secure it is no small matter for con
sideration. We have just found some helps
in an exchange. It says that if her father
or big brother-and we say if she has none
to depend upon hersef-can use the ham
mer and saw he will be able to help her cor
struct this furniture for her room.
Then with the aid of some paint any de-
sired shade, and some cretonne, sateen, or
cheesecloth she can have something quite
pretty,
To begin with, if the room needs to be
papered or calcimined have it ..light-pale
blue, pink, yellow or some dainty fancied
shade-and let everything else harmonic if
possible. Have light thin curtains for the
windows. A sleeping room should be as
sunny and airy as it is possible to get it.
A dainty little dressing table consists of
two shelves as broad as the window and
about one and one-half feet wide. The top
one serves as the dressing table and the
lower one, hidden by the cretonne curtains,
is for shoes, brushes, or any odds and ends
which must be put out of sight. The top
board should be carefully sandpapered, the
edges neatly rounded and then stained or
painted like the other woodwork in the
room.
Ii there is no closet room a wardrobe can
be constructed. Two boards five feet high
and about sixteen inches wide form the sides
There are three shelves, the top one placed
ten inches or foot below the top of the
side boards. The top and sides should be
sand-papered and stained or painted like
the other woodwork. Prettily figured Gre
tonne Or sateen curtains, harmonizing with
other coiors IN the room, are hung from a
pole placed at the top shelf. This top shelf
affords good place on which to put books,
vases or other nicknacks The wardrobe
may be made any size desired.
1t often happens that corners look bare
and dark because there is nothing in them

They rest on wedges nailed on the walls.

brass rings on brass rod will do nicely
although the door will exclude the dust
better. A third and smaller corner shelf is
placed about foot and half above this

the way 1t is finished. All the work should
be neatly done. Brass.headed nails are fire.

work is more easily kept clean if it is var
