ROYAL WAR ON TOBACCO.
The Empress of Russia Forbids Its Use
the Ladies of Her Court.

the Ladies of Her Court.
The Empress of Russia is beginning to
show more and more the strong mind
and eccentricity that marked her career
as Princess Alix of Hesse. She has
Just declared against the use of tobacco
by the ladies Of the court at st. Peters
burg.
She is credited with the observation
that the cigarette in the mouth of a
woman is as bad as an oath in that of
a man, and has requested that neither
her ladies in waiting nor yet the ladies
of the court should approach her so
long as there is the slightest aroma of
tobacco about their clothes or about
their persons.
Now, nearly every member of the i'm
perial family, and, in natural conse-
uuence, well-nigh every lady in court
and in society at st. Petersburg. is ad-
dicted to the use and even abuse of cigar
cites, the Grand Duchess Va1dimar being
conspicuous among the number.
The widowed Czarina, like her sister,
the Princess of Wales, and the Duchess
of Cumberland. never favored the use of
tobacco by ladies, but in spite of all
the influences which she welded over
her husband, Alexander III, she did
not venture openly to object to it ON
the part of the members of her court.

ILLNESS OF ANIMALS.
Birds Are More Commonly Subject to
Foolish Notions and Fears.

Birds Are More Commonly Subject to
Foolish Notions and Fears.
Birds are perhaps more commonly the
victims of illusions than other ami
mails, their stupidity about their eggs
being quite remarkable. Last year, for
instance. hen got into Il pavilion of
a ladies' golf club and began to sit on a
golf ball in corner, for which it made
nest with a couple OF pocket handker-
chiefs. But many Quadrupeds are not
only deceived for the moment by re-
Elections, shadows and such unreallties,
but often seem victims to illusions large
ly developed by the imagination.
The horse, for instance, is one of the
bravest of animals when face to face
with dangers which it can understand,
such as the charges of an elephant or a
wild boar at bay. Yet the courageous
and devoted horse, SO steadfast against
the dangers he knows, is a prey to a
hundred terrors of the imaginatio due
to illusions, mainly those of sight, for
shying, the minor effect of these illu-
sions, and ''bolting," in which panic
gains complete possession of his soul,
are caused, as a rule, by mistakes as to
what the horse sees, and not by misin-
depreciation of what he hears. It is no.
ticed, for instance, that many horses
which shy usually start away from OBJ
jects on one side more frequently than
from objects on the other. This is prob
ably due to defects of vision in one or
the other eye.
In nearly all cases of shying the horse
takes fright at some unfamiliar object,
though this is commonly quite harmless,
such as wheelbarrow upside down, u
freshly felled log or piece of paper roll
ing before the wind. This instantly be-
comes an ''illusion," is interpreted as
something else, and it is a curious ques-
ton in equine homeopathy to know what
it is that the horse figures these harm
less objects to be. When Russian ponies
first began to be shipped to Harwich
they usually objected to pass near a
donkey. This reluctance was explained
on the hypothesis that the ponies seldom
saw donkeys in Russia and mistook them
for DEMONSTRATION

CIDER FOR INVALIDS.
To be of Amy Value it Must be Made with
Greater Care and Skill.

Greater Care and Skill.
''For many years." writes DR.. Morti-
mer Granville of the London Times, Il
have recommended cider as a useful
beverage for inyalids generally, and es-
pecially for the equity. The great prac-
teal difficulty lies in the fact that such
cider as the Sick-the equity, for example
require, can hardly be procured at a
marketable sale price. l am compelled
to procure their cider privately and by
favor of some farmer who makes his own
beverage, and for this reason-that it is
a fundamental condition of success in the
manufacture of cider for medical pur-
poses that only apples of single sort
should be used in the production of the
must, and that the fermentation should
not be arrested, but allowed to proceed
until the whole of the ferment is ex-
hausted and the fermentablei material
broken into it's elements.
"No uncomfortable part of the service
performable by good cider in the cure of
disease and the preservation of health is
due to the same elements which combine
to form the phloridzin obtainable from
the bark of the stem and root of the
apple, the pear, and certain other trees.
This phloridZin-a glucoside-was some
fifty years ago submitted to criticism as
probable substitute for quinine. 1t
w
assigned to it, but experiment then and
subsequently proved that it possessed
two remarkable properties-the one of so
acting on the digestive functions that,
after two or three weeks use of this
phloridzin, persons who could not APP
propriate certain elements of food neces-
sary for their nutrition were able to do
So the other of acting in such fashion
on the glycogen accumulated in muscular
tissues for work" but which, when
overaccumulated, causes at least one
form of the trouble called rheumatism,
as to convert it into sugar and thus get
rid of it.
'Now, ordinary cider would be per-
fectly useless for the beneficial purposes
covered by the above specification. If
physicians are to have a valuable -addi-
ton to the beverages they can recon-
mend their patients. and the consumers
of cider are to enjoy the advantages of
this valuable natural product. there must
be no attempt to arrest fermentation at
the right point. There is no right point
at which to arrest fermentation. either in
the must of the apple or the juice-1
avoid the technical term-of the grape.
Pure and useful cider must be absolute
ly natural. and so must champagne.

THE SLIME ON FISHES.
Common to All Species and Essential to
Their Existence.

Common to All Species and Essential to
Their Existence.
A fish just taken from the water, if
handled, is found to be slippery and coat
ed with slime. All fishes, the meanest
and the noblest, killifsh and shark, shad.
salmon and trout, wear this slime. They
could not exist without it.
The slime is secreted usually in a con-
tinuous series of duets with numerous
openings, arranged in line extending
along the side of the fiseh. Some fishes
have one line on side, some have five
or six. The lines may be plainly visible,
and In some cases appear to be a mark
ing on the fish. More often they are not
observable at all. Some fishes store this
secretion in pores distributed over the
whole surface of the body, the larger
number. however, in pores in lateral
lines. There are also pores for the Sc
erection of mucus, or slime, in the fish S
head
The slime is eXuded through the d.
visions between the scales to the outer
part of the body, over which it spreads,
forming a sort of outer skin or cover
ing, transparent and having elasticity
and tenacity, and often considerable
body. It would not be remarkable for a
fair-sized fish, say fish of two pounds
weight, to have a coating of slime a
thirty-second of an inch in thickness
Fishes vary greatly liz the amount of
slime which they secrete; the eel will
suggest itself as one that is very Shiny
The fish's Shiny coating reduces its
friction when in motion and helps TO in
crease its speed. 1t aids in protecting
the scales from injury. being of suffi-
Gent substance to serve in some meas
ure as a cushion. The Shiny covering
makes the fish hard to hold, and so en-
ableS it more readily to escape from it's
enemies. 1T is sometimes repugnant to
other fishes, which are repealed by it's
odor It is the slime from the fishes
handled that makes the angler ''smell
fshy," as the expression goes.
A most important function of the fish's
Shiny coating is to protect it from the
attacks of fungus, form of plant life
found in ill waters, salt and fresh, in
Guiding the purest. The slime covers
the entire exterior surface of the fish,
including the fins. Fungus does not at
tach to the slime; but if the fish were to
be injured so that there was upon it
some spot uncovered by the slime, upon
that spot some minute fragment of fun
gus, SO small as to be scarcely more than
visible, would be likely to lodge. Once
lodged, the fungus is reproduced very
fast,
Fish sometimes recover from attacks
of fungus, but much more often they do
not. The fungus displaces the skin, in
fammation is set up, and the place at
tackled becomes practically a sore. With
it's continued growth the fungus may
cover the side of the fish and extend
over the gills and finally kill it.--New
York Sun.
