NO PUBLIC SMOKING.
SOME ANCIENT PROHIBITIONS
 OF THE WEEDS USE.
When the Germans Were Not Allowed to Smoke on the Streets-Liberty tc Enjoy a Pipe Not Yet Universal in Germany or Else where.

There are many old-time Germans who remember how strictly the law against public smoking used to be en- forced. That the law Is dead is one of the fruits of the revolution of 1S4S. The Berliners were the first Germans to smoke in public. Courage to do so came to them during the memorable days when they dictated laws to their King, Frederick William ", the pres ent Kaiser's granduncle. AS that moD- arch, while standing on the balcony of the Berlin castle, was commanded by the revolutionists to uncover before their dead, "the mob," says contem- porary chronicler, 'heaped the addi- tional indignity upon him of putting huge pipes in his presence.
 The citizens stuck to their pipes and cigars during the following months when the police and military dared not interfere with them on triding provoca- ton. Afterward, when the tide had turned, an attempt was made to again enforce the law, but the people get so wrought up over the matter that the police dropped the prosecutions. In March, 1849. the old law was repealed.
 AS 1t happened, liberty to smoke everywhere except in church and in the theater was one of the few results of the revolution that have never been interfered with by subsequent govern ment acts.
 Before the revolution disobedience to the anti-smoking law was punishable by fine of one thaler. If German pasesd a sentry box or a royal palace pipe in mouth he was mulcted five thalers. The smoking of cigars in pub lie was demed particularly offensive, and judges frequently imposed an ex- tra thaler on the person guilty of smoking such an article. In Germany the cigar became to be considered ''the correct thing" only after the introduc- tion of matches. It was easier to light ! cigar than pipe by the new-fangled agency, hence the cigar increased in popularity, and became gradually rec Ognized as the superior of the pipe in 8 social way"
 But liberty to smoke" is not yet uni. versal in Germany or elsewhere. h Berlin, Munich and other capitals, in- cluding Vienna, army officers and sol diers are forbidden to smoke in the principal streets, through which mem bers of the royal family are liable to drive. If in other streets they see royal carriage approaching they must throw away their cigars. In Alsace Lorraine Catholic priests are forbidden to smoke in public, rule that prevails In all Latin countries. But the state has nothing to do with Its prohibition. It Is a regulation enforced by the Church of Rome.
 Smoking was introduced into Ger many in 1920 by English soldiers, and soon became popular. At the close of the thirty years war Q640 all the princes of Germany agreed to stamp out 'this hellish nuisance" The use of and traffic in tobacco was then pun fshed by excessive fines. In SwitZer- land, too, smokers had hard time of 1t. Up to 1750 smokers, in private or public, were liable to the pillOry in ad- ditiOn to Imprisonment and q f1ne.- Newark Sunday Call.
