In driving from one place to another
queen Amelie smokes cigarettes and the
people love her all 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 o 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
The dowager empress Of Russia seeks
solace Tor ner troubles in tobacco, but the
young czarina frowns openly upon the
habit. When she was the first lady in the
great empire, the dOwager empress encour-
aged 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 a tremendous Juror, not
only in court, but in external society, which
is governed in all things by the doings of
the royal circle. Many Russian women Of
the nobility had contracted the smoking
habit during the regime of the dowager
empress and proclaimed loudly against the
li,.tx l.; l. IL
tom an offense
While the dowager empress and the i'm
mediate ladies of her circle still smoke,
they are careful never to indulge the habit
In the presence of the czarina as q matter
of courtesy to the wife OF the emperor.
They confine 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 occupy
the Italian throne. The young princess.
when she was Helen of Montenegro, was
raised and educated under the. personal
care of the dowa2er empress of Russia. and
the girl naturally contracted all the Gus
toms of her royal guardian.
The women of the house of Bourbon
might be called hereditary smokers, as it
is a matter of history that the Duchess of
Bourbon and the Duchess of Charities, in
the time of Louis NV, smoked the stron-
gest of tobacco in big meerschaum pipes.
None of the queenly smokers of the pres
ent day loves tobacco to the extent that
Queen Ranavalona of Madagascar does
This unique lady smokes cigars which cost
the equivalent of 81. so each, and when she
isn't smoking she chews, tobacco In plugs
being her favorite for this diversion When
holding court, she either smokes or chews,
and it is the sole duty of one of her attend
ants to follow her about wherever she goes
with a cuspidor of gold.

TEN YEARS IN BED.
A Russian Millionaire Who Il Too Lac,
to Get Up.

10 yet Up
An original character is Baron Hugo
Ortliet Of Russia, millionaire who spends
his time between his magnificent palaces
at st. Petersburg and Moscow and his su-
perb country seat, near Kazan, but always
in bed.
For ten years he has not got up or
dressed. There has never been anything
the matter with him physically, and even
today, in spite of his bulk, his bodily con-
dition furnishes striking illustration Of
the fallacy of the assertion that much ex-
ercise is indispensable to the preservation
Of health. But somewhere about 1886,
after having exhausted every conceivable
form of pleasure and excitement, he took
to his bed from sheer ennui and has re-
manned there ever since.
He does not even leave it when he trav-
els, his bed being carried from his rooms
to a specially constructed carriage and
thence to his private railroad car, and he
always travels by special train. He is quite
sane in all other respects, manages his i'm
mense property with the greatest sagacity
and shrewdnesS and is brilliant and witty
in conversation. Indeed the only screw
loose in his brain is his aversion to the ex-
ertion of getting up. "Why should take
the trodble?" he asks. What is there to
get up for? Surely there is nothing for me
to do that cannot accomplish just as well
in bed -
