THEY LIKE THEIR SMOKE
Royal Ladies' Who Are Slaves to
the Cigarette Habit.
Empress of Austria Smokes Forty Cofin
Nails Every Day and the Queen
Regent of Spain Is quite as
Bad Fiend.

Within the past few months the Large
Parin shops have displayed an endless
variety of smokers trinkets-not for
men smokers, but for women smokers.
This shows better than anything else
the growing love of women for the di-
vine weed Moreover, this love is sane
toned by European royalty in such an
emphatic manner that it is small won
der that less eminent people should con-
tract the fad, fashion or habit, which
ever it may be.
The queens who smoke are astonish-
ingly numerous when the list is exam
ined, and when the queen smokes her
court ladies also smoke, and the habit
ramifies through each succeeding class
of society. The empress of Austria is
about the most persistent smoker OF
them all, between 35 and 40 cigarettes a
day being necessary to appease her
hunger for Mistress Nicotine. This
would almost cntitle her to a leading po'
sition among the ranks of cigarette
fiends, says the st. Louis Globe-Dem-
ocrat.
The Austrian empress uses an amber
tube as cigarette holder to prevent the
discoloraton of her fingers. She smokes
q much stronger cigarette than the or
binary. the tobacco being n Turkish
mixture heavily favored with perique,
She smokes almost incessantly, but
never while a court function is in prog
ress.
Queen Amelic of Portugal, one of the
most popular queens that ever occupied
the throne of that kingdom, is an invet-
crate smoker. She came by the habit
legitimately, as her mother, the count
ess of Paris, is also addicted to the
cigarette, and from her earliest child
hood Portugal's queen was accustomed
TO the sight of women smoking.
1t has been claimed that this habit
robs women of the prettiest charms OF
fcmirjnity. but Queen Amelie is a living
contradiction of this assertion. The
pooy Of Portugal worship her, and call

The Park Rhinooeros, Toe, Coated 1w,sv
n Yoar with NeRtsfoot OIL.

q Yoar with NeRtsfoot oil.
Twice year the elephants and to-
rhinoceros in the Central park menasS
erie get coating of neatsfoot oil, which
is thoroughly rubbed in with the palm
OF the hand. The oiling and the manip-
ulation cleanse. the skin, remove the
dead skin, and open the pores, freshen
the animals up, and improve their
health, and they seem to like the proc
ess. The oiling is done only in the
spring and summer; if done in the win
ter the animals would be likely to take
cold from it.
The rhnoceros at the park is in good
condition and lively, and rather frisky
for so big n brute. Sometimes it steps
about with u step that is very much like
a dancing step, and likely to surprise
one who sees it for the first time and has
been accustomed to regard the rhinoc-
eros as an animal always slow and lum-
bering in its movements. When the
rhinoceros' cage is cleaned out, which
is done daily, the keeper first attracts
the great creature to one side with u
tempting mess of food. Then he slips
a moose Of rope over the animals horn
and settles it down around the neck
and makes the other end fast around
n bar or Two of the elephants cage adj
joining. This is done to keep the rhi-
noccros from pitching into the keeper
if it should -alie notice.
The same rrecaution is taken when
the rhinoceros is oiled. The elephants,
however. kneel at the word of COM
mnnd. 1t IS not necessary to plant a
ladder against them in order to reach
the upper part of their sides in rubbing
in the oil.

TAUGHT HER A LESSON.
She Probably Found New Place FOL
Hiding the Key.

The other day a very estimable lady
came 20 town to do a little shopping,
says the Atlanta Constitution. Of
course lhe key was put under the door
mat so that her son, whom she expected
to return before her, could get in. In
her absence II tramp, who had been
hanging around the place II number Of
days and had caught on, boldly went
into the house, got some of the choicest
viands out of the pantry, put them on
the table and pitched in. lie also found
n bottle of wine that revived his spirits.
He did not expect anyone there for u
number of hours and so he took it easy.
In the meantime the lady of the house
having finished her shopping returned
home and. seeing the front door un-
locked, expected to find her son inside.
Imagine her horror when she opened
the dining-room door and saw sitting
at her table the rustiest-looking tramp
that ever We'd with his companions in
accommodating dirt ON his epidprmis.
The lady was dumfoundcd. In the ST
lence that followed the tramp coolly re-
marked: Madam, I shall become
scarce, now. cz I've eaten cnuif. All
I kin give yer back fer this good meal
and wat want ter say ter yer is that
yer ought to find a new hidin' place fer
yer key. won't charge yer nothin' for
this advice" With that the tramp de.
parted.

THE QUEEN nHGENr on SPAIN.

her the Lady Hountiful" Of the nine
teenth century.
Maria Christina, tAa uuch-troublcd
queen regent of Spain, smokes almost
as much as the empress OF Austria. Like
the others, cigarettes are her fayorites,
although it is whispered that some of
the court ladies attached to her smoke
small cigars. As in Portugal, smoking
among Spanish women is custom,
sanctioned by ccnturies, and if the
queen of Spain did not smoke it would
perhaps create wonder among her sub
jects.
The dowager empress Of Russia seeks
solacc for her troubles in tobacco, but
the young czarina frowns openly upon
the habit. When she was the first lady
in the great empire the dowagcr en-
press encouraged smoking among the
court ladies. by her own indulgence in
the habit, but when the young czarina
assumed the leadership she issued an
edict prohibiting smoking by the ladies
attached to the household.
This created n tremendous Juror, not
only in court. but in external society,
which is governed in all things by the
doings of the royal circle. Many Rus
sian women of the nobility had con-
tracted the smoking habit during the
regime of the dowageremprGss and pro-
claimed loudly against the cdict which
made a continuance of the custom an Of
Tense.
While the dowager empress and the
| immediate ladies of her circle still
| smoke they are careful never to indulge
| in the habit in the presence of the
czarina. as n matter of courtesy to the
wife of the emperor. Thcyconfne their
smoking to their private apartments, as
| do all OF the st. Petersburg society
women, among whom the use of the
cigarette is generally prevalent.
The queen of Roumania and Queen
Margherita of Italy both smoke, as does
also the handsome wife of the young
prince of Naples who is destined to oc-
cupy the Italian throne. The young
princess, when she was Helen of Mon
tenegro, was raised and educated under
the personal care of the Iowager en-
press of Russia, and the girl naturally
contracted all the customs Of her royal
guardian.
The women of the house of Bourbon
might be called hereditary smokers, as
10 is matter of history that the
duchess of Bourbon and the duchess of
Chartres, in the time of Louis XIV,
smoked the strongest of tobacco in big
meerschaum pipes.
None of the queenly. smokers of the
present day admires tobacco 10 the ex-
tentthat Queen Ranavaloraof Madagas-
car does. This unique lady smokes
cigars which cost the equivalent of 81 so
each, and when she isn't smoking she
chcws, tobacco in plugs being her fa-
yorite for this diversion. When holding
court she either smokes or chcws. and it
is the sole duty Of one other attendants
TO follow her abaat wherever She goes

There has been so much speculation

to how the Board of Education would
expend the $40, 600 asked for, and rec
ogni2ing the demand of the voters as
perfectly just one, to know somewhat
of our plans, wish to make simple
and concise statement.
We propose, if the proposition is voted
ave, to erect building on our present
lot and Immediately in front OF our
High School building, letting that re-
main as it is for the present, and to
cost from $50, 900 to S25, 200. Then to
spend, say So, 500, on the West Side'
either in addition of two large rooms
to our present building, or in providing
a suitable house elsewhere, as we may
determine hereafter.
The balance of the $4,000 will be
spent in the Fourth ward, with our best
Judgment as to location and as will be
most profitable to both pupils and
teachers.

THE POLITICIAN.

The PULlllClAN.
Senator Sherman has been noted
throughout his long public career
for disinclination to allow himself
to be placed in false position. He
showed this when he stated in open
Senate that there was no truth in the
numerous rumors about his having
made an agreement with Secretary
Olney concerning the Cuban policy to
be maintained during the remainder of
this administration, and that to be
adopted by President McKinley's ad-
ministration. He showed it again by
this hat-footed announcement con-
cerning the stories of his having ac-
cepted the Secretaryship of State as
part of bargain: My acceptance of
the portfolio of Secretary of State was
without any reservations or condi-
tions. Gov. Bushnell has about six
weeks yet before it will be necessary
to appoint my successor in the Senate.
There seems to be u general desire that
Mr.. Hanna should be selected for the
seat, and, while | have no assurance
on that point, ! believe that Governor
Bushnell will appoint him."
