Where Smoking is a Crime.

The French Anti-Tobacconist Socie.
ty is hoping to secure no less a re.
cruit than the Emperor Menelik.
Two months ago, at a reception at
the Military Club, NJ. Decroix, presi.
dent of the society, learned in conver.
sation with Mayor Marchand that
smoking is unknown in Abyssinia and
Is, indeed, a crime. Foreigners have To
conceal themselves even to smoke II
cigarette.
M. Decroix naturally at once became
desirous Of securing so precious an ad.
herent, and addressed letter to the
Emperor Menelik begging him to ac.
cept the diploma of honorary member
OF the society, title already accepted
by one Emperor, namely, Dom Pedro
Of Brazil.
Menelik Is not the originator Of the
Punishment Of tobacco from his EN-.
pire. 1t appears that a bull of Pope
Urban VIII in 1912 is responsible for
the privation Of the Abyssinians. In
reality the bull was only intended for
priests who smoked or took snuff in
the churches, but it was taken very
literally in Abyssinia, with the result
that even to-day an Abyssinian caught
smoking would be severely punished

Last Years ShipbuiIdinu,

The year 1899 produced 2,447, ,53S
tons of new shipping, Great Brita n
leading, with 1.763,914 tons. The Uni
ted States followed, with 2S3,9G4 tons.
and Germany came next with 119, 81
tons. One of the remarkable ACHE, e.
ments of the year was the Oceanic
one of the largest vessels ever bu 1t.
Another novelty was the steam tur.
bine torpedo-bOat destroyer Viper
which makes some 35 knots an hour.
A striking feature Of the year record
was the increase of tonnage butt OF

Swift FaIlinu Bullets,

Failing bullets kill many men, even
when they are lying sheltered behind
trenches. If a bullet is fired in the air
it falls with as much force as it goes
up. But. curiously, there is certain
limit of height beyond which bullet
gains no more falling force; the rea
son being that when the motion Is
very rapid the resistance of the air
balances the attraction of gravity. In
the siege of Sebastapol-and, in fact,
during every campaign-a great many
men were killed by falling bullets
And the terrific force with which they
come down is shown by case in
which the bullet entered the shoulder
Of cavalry man, passed down through
his body and penetrated several inch.
es into his horses back.
A curious instance occurred not long
ago in India. While a native wa
cleaning boots in the open air he was
seen to drop dead without a cry. On
examining him, they found that bul
let had entered the top of his h; ad.
No shot had been heard, and the per.
son who fired it must have been a
very long way off.

NO WORK ron HIM.
An Antl-Labor Apostle Huntsi Fishes,
and Fiddles.

Out in Missouri Is man who. al
though he is turned seventy years Of
age, has never done a stroke of work
In his life. 1t is in consequence of y
vow which old Shrinch Painter made
nearly sixty years ago that he has rc.
mained in idleness.
Shrinch Painter lives In Stone coun.
ty, Mo-, thirty miles south of Spring
field. His home Is n hole in the side
Of a mountain. Solid rock forms The
floor and roof of this dwelling and
the old man Is very little burdened
with furniture.
Shrinch is an anti-labor apostle. 1t
is his conviction that the world owes
a living to every one brought into IT,
and that labor Is a sin. He has made
a positive demonstration of his theory
In his own case, for he has never
toiled. Yet he lives in absolute con-
tentment, and has the natural happi-
ness Of the primitive Indian. He says
he has never suffered from hunger
has never felt the need of money and
has never weakened In his determine
tlon to abstain from labor.
The land on which the old man lives
belongs to him by right of occlpati, H.
1t consists of about one hundred and
fifty acres, and Is all that Shrinch pos
sesses. or course it would be work
to cultivate the land, so it is neglected
Hunting, fishing and fiddling, ac-
cording to the old man, do not come
under the category of work, and he is
an expert at each branch. Almost all
his time Is spent in the mountains,
where, with his old-fashioned rifle. he
amuses himself by bringing to Garth
deer, wild hogs, or quail. When lie
gets tired Of this he goes fishing, and
numbers of trout does he pull out Of
the clear mountain streams. Old
Shrinch figures at every breakdown
held within ten mile radius, and
those who imagine that the old man
10 in any way hermit is very much
mistaken. For his services as violin
ist he makes no charge, and he would
be highly insulted If any attempt
were made to look upon his services
as work.
Whenever Shrinch visits Springfield.
which is about once year, the ques-
tion of hotel accommodation comes
up. He absolutely refuses to sleep un.
der a roof. A wagon yard and bun
die Of hay is all that he requires. AL
though he has seen railway cars, he
has never been inside one.
The old man is not at all illiterate,
for he can read and write fluently AMI
Is a good talker. The following Is
what he had to say when asked for
the reasons for his strange mode of
living:
1--WE are Gods children, and, of
course, God will take care of us. He
never intended US to work. Wien |

The Nations Grocery Bill.

In one of our exchanges the Dairy
Commissioner of Wisconsin is credit
ed with the statement that the aggre-
gate expenditure of the people of the
United States for food products, ex.
elusive of meats, is $1,950,000, 900.
This is the Nations annual grocery
bill. The Commissioner estimates that
there are in round numbers 100000
families in this country, and he gets
$1,050,OO0,00O total by multiplying the
number of families by $130 which he
estimates Is the sum annually spent
by each of the families for groceries.
At $130 year each family is cred.
tied with an expenditure of $2.32 a
week for groceries, which seems a
very low estimate. Perhaps So week
would be nearer the mark, and If we
start with that average we get year.
ly bill of $156 for each family and
total Of $2,340,000,000 for the whole
country.
A generation ago sugar constituted
nearly one-fourth of the grocery sales
of the country, but, owing to the Won
derful increase in the trade of canned
goods and grocers' specialties, the sta
pie occupies greatly inferior rank.

one-twelfth of the total sales of gro.
ceries.
Whichever of these three estimates
we accept, and it is impossible to say
which is nearest the mark, it is obvl-

trade, and it would seem that there
is room therein for large number

PRACTICAL JOKE,
II Made Chicago Man Tear His
Hair With Rage.

" Waue Chlcago man Tear rtis
Hair With Rage.
"An amusing incident happened In
my town n short time ago" said w.
A. Gore, of Chicago, at the Hoffman
House. "There are three brothers
there who are great practical jokers.
One night fire occurred In a neigh
bor's house, which two of the brothers
were watching from second story
window, as he had forgotten his key.
In the act policeman caught him.
promptly arrested him, and was gayly
hauling him off, in spite of his indig-
nant protests that he was the owner
of the house, when, happening to
glance up, he espied his brothers at
the upper windows.
" There stormed he, "there are my
brothers up there They'll tel you that
this is my house And then he added
some gratuitous bad language about
the Chicago police force in general
and this special policeman in particu-
lar.
"In consequence 1t was highly in
dignant cop who attracted the at
tention of those at the second-story
windows and asked If 1t was their
brother he had In custody. The young
er brothers took in the situation and
with one accord disclaimed any and
all knowledge of the captive. coupling
the disclaimer with the request that
he be run in as suspicious char
acter. Run in the first-born was, and,
as he showed fight, he was inciden-
tally done up on the way. The
younger brothers, after hastily arrang-
ing for the bail and ultimate deliver
ances of the prisoner took the first
convenient train for the East, where
they remained until the storm blew
over."--N. Y. Herald.

It's up to tho People.

Less than year remains in which
to gather facts, and information that
will influence your vote for the next
president of the United States.
That grievous wrongs have been
committed, and grave errors allowed
to exist without effort at correction, is
evidenced by the speech, writings, and
comments of eminent statesmen and
jurists; congressman and leading men
of business; professors and clergymen
in every state.
Party affiliations have been ignored
in the outcry against thrusting aside
the safeguards of our fathers and rush
ing pell-mell into the affairs of Europe.
The situation is deplorable one if
not alarming; as is also our domestic
affairs dominated by gigantic Trusts.
The evils are not Of spontaneous
growth They are the result of years
of labor and expenditure of millions
of dollars! Beginning with the dis
placement of American silver for
English gold, the cunning of Eng
lands diplomacy in shaping the des-
tiny of our Republic is apparent to
any ordinary observer seeking the
true inwardness of events.
The Cincinnati Enquirer has fire.
quently called attention to each and
every move as it was transpiring, and
during the campaign of 1900 will
present its readsrs with a truthful
array of facts that will be extremely
interesting and startling.
No fair-minded American. be he
Republican, Democrat or of other
political faith, can afford at this critical
time to ignore the truth. Partisan
prejudice, with the Trusts as dictators.
is far more degrading slavery than
chat whichexisted previous to the Civil
War of '6I-64. =
Trusts in the United States alone
have a representative capital greater
than all the gold and silver in the
world. These will spend many more
millions of dollars to suppress truth
and facts and mislead all who fail to
'ook beyond their plausible .decep-
ions. Read the Enquirer and you
will be able to discern the truth and
combat falsehood. A victory for
Trusts and the Mckinley Admins
tration in 1900 will end the era OF
greatest good to greatest number.
