IInrd Time OF It.
The smoking American has q hard time
Of it on tho continent. In several of tho
countries. notably in France, Spain and
Italy, tho trade is IN tho hands Of tho gov
ernm2,.:, or SO enormously taxed that it Is
virtually IL government monopoly. What
ever may be the benefits to tho national
exchequer, there are certainly mono to the
consumer, and If q nationalist or state So
cinlist wants arguments to support his
theories let him shun the subject of Eu-
ropcan tobacco.
Pipe smokers will find no plug tobacco
abroad. They can get American brands
Of long cut or fine cut only ut cxorbitant
prices. Where tho monopoly prevails the
common smoking tobacco offered for sale
will cure the habit if anything will. 1tal-
Ian cigars are about tho meanest cigars man
ever pcrpetratcd on q suffering communal
ty. French cigars arc not much better.
Hayanas can bc bought in tho Latin coun-
tries ut high rates.
Tho Gcrmhnic races come nearer under
standing what is good in the tobacco line.
Cigars arc cheap in Switzerland, cheaper
in Germany and dog choap in Holland.
In fact, Holland is the paradise of smok-
ors. Tobacco is absolutely free Of duty
there, If I understand right, and partly by
reason of the fact that Sumatra is u Dutch
possession. Holland leads the world in
some branches Of the tobacco trade. So
the discreet smoker will bring home from
Holland as many cigars ms he can. In
Rotterdam or Amsterdam he may buy for
3 cents apiece cigars that in many Ameri-
can cigar stores would retail at 10 cents
straight, and for 5 cents he can get luxury
that in America a millionaire would deem
Extravaganza.
Tho cigarette habit prevails in France,
Italy and Spain, SO decent cigarettes can
be bought, but Turkish or Egyptian ciga-
:ettcs arc not given away. In Germany
and Austria pipe smoking is more COM
mon, and in Great Britain it would seem

Tarantulas do not dance to the sound Of
the violin, but let tho people they bite do
the. dancing. Scorpions, however, enjoy
lddling, according to The Quarterly Re-
view, and lizards go crazy for music Of
any kind AS for serpents. the boa con-
~strictor and python are senselcss to mel
ody, but the cobra is fascinated by the
fute'andA still more by the fiddle. Polar
bears enjoy the violin, SO do ostriches.
Wolves will stop in the chase to listen to o
cornet. Elephants arc fond of the flute,
especially:the upper notes. Tigers, while
approaching violin and flute, cannot stand
the harmoniuln, while the musical seal
shows no emotion on hearing any instru-
l;ment, not ever the bass drum.

r IN BATTLE.
How They Act When Wounded OF Left
Without Their Riders.

How They Act When Wounded OF Left
Without Their Riders.
When horses orc hit in battle, they stop,
tremblo in every muscle and groan deeply,
while their eyes show wild establishment.
During tho battle of Waterloo some of the
horses, MS they lay on tho ground, having
recovered from the first agony of their
wounds, fell to eating the grass about
them, thus surrounding themselves with
q circle Of bare ground, tho limited extent
of which showed their weakness. Others
of these interesting animals were observed
quietly grazing in the middle of the field
between tho two hostile lines, their riders
having been. shot off their backs, while the
balls that few over their honds and the
tumult behind and before md around
them caused no interruption to the usual
instincts of their nature.
:. It was also observed that when q charge
of cavalry went past, near to any Of tho
stray horses mentioned, they would sot
off, form themselves in tho rear of their
mounted companions, and, though without
riders, gallop strenuOusly along with tho
rest, not stopping nor finching when the
fatal shock with, tho enemy took place.
AT tho .bnttlo of. the kirb, in 1854, Major
Macdonald, having immersed an English
officer, took possession Of his horse, which
was very beautiful, and Immediately
mounted it. When tho English cavalry
fled, the Horse ran away with his captor,
notwithstanding oil his efforts to restrain
him, nor did. the animal stop until it was
ut tho head of theyregimont of which, ap.
parently, its master was tho commander.
The melancholy and at. the salne time
ludicrons figure which Macdonald pro-
sented when he thus saw himself the v.o.
tim Of his ambition to possess a lno horse,
which ultimately cost him his life upon
the scaffold, may be easily conceived

Persistence.

Pcrsistency is characteristic Of oil men
svho have accomplished anything great.
They may lack in some particular, may
have many weaknesses and eccentricities
but tho quality Of persistence is never alb
rent in a successful man. No matter what
opposition he meets or. what discourage
ments oyertake him, no is always persist
Ont. Drudgery cannot disgust him, la.
Dor cannot weary him. He will persist
no matter what ome or goes. 1t Is 10
part of his nature. He could almost as
easily stop breathing. It'll Is not so much
brilliancy Ct intellect or fertility Of re-
source rs persistency Of effort, constancy
of purpose, that gives success.-Kcystone.

efforts made on him to give up the ideA
but he announced his ultimatum that II

That settled It, and during the following
recess the necessary pipes were built in

There is No expense in keeping the water

this is done by running q coil Of pipes

SOuaw's Affection.

The women Of the Indians, doomed
by the custom of savages, are slaves.
They do all the work, and accept their
lot stoically. Two anecdotes, related
by Colonel Inman, In his "Old Santa Fe

husbands ana their children.
