EMPRESS ELlLAbElu OF AOoAnAA. }s3
smokes her court ladies also smoke, and
the habit Families through each succeeding
class of society. ,s.ss
The empress of Austria is about the most
persistent smoker Of them all, between 35
and 40 cigarettes day being necessary to
appease her hunger for Mistress Nicotine.
This would almost entitle her to leading
position among the ranks of cigarette
nends. = ,y5s
=, The Austrian empress uses an amber
tube as cigarette holder to prevent the
discoloration of her fingers. She smokes
q much stronger cigarette than the Or
binary, the tobacco being a Turkish mix
turc, heavily favored with perique. She
smokes almost necessarily, but never while
large court function Is in progress.
Queen Amelie of Portugal, one OF the
most popular queens that ever occupied
the throne Of that kingdom, is an inyet-
crate smoker. She came by the habit lie.
ultimately, as her mother, the Countess of
Paris, is also addicted to the cigarette, and
from her earliest childhood, Portugals
queen was accustomed to the sight Of WON
en- smoking. =. .,.,,l. >. = GI.55s5t

women Of the prettiest charms Of feminin.
ity, but Queen Amelfe Is living contra
diction of this assertion. The poor sOf
Portugal worship her and call her the
Lady ;Bountiful 81 the nineteenth century.
q TO be Of practical service to her needy
subjects she gave up many hours q day for
two years to the study Of medicine, and to.
day she Is regularly entitled to the practice
of that profession. She stood the exami-
nation Of the Eschola Polytechnicha, the
most noted college in Lisbon, and obtained
it's degrees. She, drives about the poorer
quarters Of the city and attends to the sick
with the skill and persistence OF the ply
sician working for his support She does
not overrate her abilities, and whenever
she comes in contact with a case that ap.
pears beyond her knowledge she sends for
the finest specialist of Lisbon and sees to
it that the patient receives the most ex'
perienced treatment. ~
In driving from one place to another
Queen Amelie smokes cigarettes, and the
people love her oil the more for it, for
women smokers in Portugal are the rule,
not the exception. Many among the poor.
er classes smoke long, black cheroots and
cigars; so to them cigarette seems very
mild diversion.
Maria Christina, the much troubled
queen regent of Spain, smokes almost as
much as the empress of Austria. Like the
others, cigarettes are her favorites, al
though it is whispered that some OF the
court ladies attached to her smoke small
cigars As in Portugal, smoking among
Spanish women is a custom sanctioned
by centuries, and If the queen Of Spain did
not smoke it would perhaps create wonder
among her subjects s' -"

In France experiments with the
bicycle as i war machine have been
carried to q greater extent than in
this country, and it has been
demonstrated that with bicycles a
military force can travel with
much greater speed and with more
eff ctive fighting capacity than
ever before. During Il recent
exhibition a zouave rode up at a
speed Of - miles un hour, took
part in sham battle, then folded
his machine compact y ON his back,
scaled a wall eight feet high, fired
again from the other side of the
wall, and'the unfolded his bicycle,
mounted it and rode off. The
mounting of a whole army on
wheels is not advocated, but it is
claimed tnat certain portion of
each regiment could be trained to
manoeuvre on the bike with ad.
vantage. In France, however,
they have much better roads than
in the United States. A bicycle
corps would not be apt to be very
effective in rainy weather upon
some of our western roads.-Min.
