A prominent state senator lately gave

Of his colleagues on the condition that
they would not make public his name in

Gently occurred on the Albany mid
night train, says the New York Herald.
The senator is of lively disposition
and somewhat inclined to practical
joking. He and an assemblyman occu.
pied a section jointly. The senator
went into the smolxing-room about nine
o'clock. The assemblyman, who had
the lower berth, said that he would re-
tire for short nap.
The senator about haitian hour after.
ward walked down the aisle of the car
and stopped opposite his section. The
curtains were tightly drawn. BY way
of ''good joke" on his colleague the
senator carefully lifted aside the cur
tain. administered rousing slap on
the form in the lower berth and hasti.
ly retreated to the smoking-room.
A succession Of piercing female yells
followed. 'Great Scott" calculated
the senator, attracted by the screams

assemblyman, peering out & an adjoin

what are you doing in that berth?
asked the senator.
"Why, there was lady who had thu

tell you about it."

In 1871, before the French national
assembly had decided whether the new
constitution was to be monarchial or
republican. the count of Paris visited

(: The consul in Bolivia mentions as .
curious fact that here and there in
Bolivia one meets with small communi-
ties of Indians talking a different
tongue to the surrounding districts.
This results from the practice exercised
under the rule of the Incas, whose Gus

Smoking II Done In All Places and 81
\ All Times, ~.

/ All Times. -.
| I have never seen a Havana man
smoking in church, writes correspon-
dent of the Washington Star. It's
about the only place where he does not
smoke. He smokes in the street cars,
he smokes at the public dining-table,
he smokes everywhere. The presence
of women is not considered at all.
When coffee is brought on the table,
the Spaniard or Cuban lights his cigar
or cigarette and begins to send up
clouds of smoke. He never even thinks
Of saying to the ladies: "By your leave"
for the custom of the country is to
smoke everywhere. On the railway
trains there is no smoking compart-
ment, for a man is privileged, and, in
fact, expected, to smoke everywhere.
II he is not smoking, his neighbor will
offer him a cigarette. The driver OF
your coach will smoke and very likely
offer you cheroot. At the opera the
man will walk and smoke between the
acts in the spaces behind the boxes and
balconies. You will see finely dressed,
seemingly well-bred men, with ladies
in full evening toilet, entering the
theater and smoking as they go. You
never. see a pipe in Cuba. 1t is the
country of the cigar and the cigarette.
One of the odd sights to stranger is
that afforded by the negro women, who
smoke big, long and black cigars in the
street. It was here that the smoking
habit, which has spread around the
world, had it's start, and the Cubans are
still more devoted to their cigars than
any other people. The cigar industry
and the tobacco trade give employment
to large portion of the population Of
Havana. In every quarter one will run
across small establishments where
from two to ten men are employed
making cigars, and some children and
women engaged In stripping tobacco.

Art OF Chinese Burglars.

| The Chinese burglar takes an ingre-
dent of his own, burns it and blows
the smoke through the kcyhole Of the
bedroom where the master of the house
is asleep. The fumes dull the senses Of
the victim. just enough to make him
helpless, while at the same time per
hitting him to see and hear everything
that goes on in the room. The only
antidote against the charm is pure wa
ter, and most of the wealthy Chinese

of the grievance committee The report
