WOMEN WHO SMOKE.
A Subject That Is Reing Extensively
Discussed In Europe.

A Subject That Is Reing Extensively
Discussed In Europe.
A good deal of correspondence has
been going on lately in the columns Of
the London Mail on the subject of wo-
men smokers
Inquiries as to how the question Is
viewed in other countries brought
forth some Interesting facts. Smoking
among women in France is, it seems,
far more prevalent than Is generally
supposed. There a lady OF fashion no
longer apologies to her guests for
| lighting a cigarette after dinner, and
even as an accompaniment to . o'clock
tea golden tipped Egyptian cigarette
Is frequently INDUCED in by fair Pa
risiennes. Russian ladies, we are told,
who inhabit the capital are largely re-
spOnsible for the growing taste for to-
bacco among the grandes danes Of
Paris. 1t is interesting TO hear that at
the leading couturieres boxes of fra
grant cigarettes are kept in stock TO
help madame to pass the time agree
ably while being fitted.
I'm Germany" according TO Berlin
inquirer, feminine emancipation is not
sufficiently advanced TO make the prac-
tice of smoking among ladies very
prevalent In certain circles and the
smart restaurants, however, many wO-
men may be seen with cigarettes and
even cigars. Among the middle and
working classes it is safe to say that
scarcely n woman would think of
smoking except for fun. But there is
one class of feminine society that
greatly affects the cigarette, and that
is financial ladies engaged in specula-
ton"
In Belgium. it seems. among the bet
ter class ladies an after dinner ciga-
rette is not at all tabooed, and among
the feminine frequenters OF the boule-
ward cafes smoking Is fairly common.
hut in other cafes the practice is for
hidden by the proprietors.
1t was n long time before the CA
rina grew accustomed to the habit of
smoking, so prevalent among the ladies
of Russia, and it is said that she had
so strong an objection to it at first that
she forbade the habit to be practiced
in her sight.
If, as one of the writers in The Mail
declares, nicotine is very detrimental
to the moral tone in females, produces
neurosis and dull, stupid. indolent.

mind, lowers the stature and nervous
systems, and that female reforma-
tories, prisons and lunatic asyluIns
show that in many cases of unstrung
nerves, morals and mind, smoking was
the first step of the downfall, let us
abolish it by all means.

There Were Others.

After woman had devoted several
years and some money to the task Of
learning the German language thor
oughIy she felt herself more accom-
plished than some of her friends and
took pleasure in the pride that this
knowledge gave her. One day she was
in a street car when n man entered and
yainly tried to tell the conductor where
he wanted TO go. He spoke only Ger
man, the conductor understood not 4
word. and the passenger in despair
turned to the others in the car.
Does anybody here speak German?"
he asked.
This, thought the learned young wo-
man, was an opportunity for her to
make practical use of her really thor
oCgh knowledge of the language. She
was preparing to volunteer her serv-
ices as interpreter when the others
who had heard the request also Of
fcred their aid. In all there were
among the passengers on the car
eleven men aud two women who spoke
German. While she still prizes her &C
this studious young wo-
man does not think her knowledge so
as she once did.

gentlemen were singing that song. Mr..
II. R. Crosby came in, and with tears
in his eyes said, Gentlemen, that hymn
is immortal We were all excited,
elated. Within two weeks the children
of the town were singing 1t on the
streets.
"In 1868 The Signet Ring was pub
lished, the published distributing circu-
lars TO advertise it and on the sheets
was THE Sweet By and By. On the
strength of that one song nearly 900, 900
copies Of the book were sold. The song
was afterward brought out in sheet mu-
sic, and it has been translated into a
number Of foreign languages.
Webster, Crosby and Carswell are all
dead. S. Z. Bright of Fort Atkinson,
Wis, and myself are the only living
witnesses to the origin of the song. -

The Girl who Grew Prett.er.

Mr.. Charles Whymper. the we'll
known engraver and animal painter,
told the following anecdote some years
ago: Il dined at Mr., So-and-so's at
Highgate last night, and as a mark OF
honor his eldest daughter was assign
ed to me TO take down to dinner. She's
n bright girl. and got along very nice
ly with her and Lady Bletherington on
the other side until the ladies were on
the eve of retiring to the drawing
room. L was talking about the beauti-
full scenery near the house. the views
from the windows, the fine afr, when
Miss -- suddenly said. L think 1 get

What could she mean? l did not

day
There was no installing her words,
so l answered, Yes, indeed. you get
prettier and no wonder in such fresh
air and Just then she caught her.

RohedInns single shade.

1t Is not to be winter of touches Of
this tint and scraps of that color added
to frock of neutral tint. From Paris
comes the edict that everything one
wears must match in color. 1t is an eff
fective way to dress. but hardly eco
nomical. Signs Of the coming thral-
dom are already manifest in Paris.
Gown. gloves, parasol, hat and even
shoes and stockings, accord or, at any
rate, correspond in shade. Imagine
gray crepe de chine, with a large gray
velvet hat, worn with gray gloves,
gray rufie, gray silk stockings and
gray suede shoes--a symphony in soft
gray-with a knot of pink carnations
as a color relief. 1t proved an unquali-
fed success for its charming wearer.

The following good news comes to
us from Little Sioux, the result of
the weeks meetings held by Mrs.
Owen Hitchcock. The NJ. =. church
was filled to Overlooking each night,
and the interest was deep. Two hun
dred signed the pledge and put on. the
blue ribbon. Sixty children we're
eager to bear their testimony that they
wanted to start right. Fifteen ladies
became members of the Union. Five
gentlemen became honorary members,
among them was Mr.. Adams of the
" Adams farm" and banker of Little
Sioux. When asked why he wore the
white and blue ribbon, he replied, ~
would rather wear the white and blue
ribbon on my coat than red blossom
on my nose"
Mrs. Hitchcock closed weeks meet
ing at Wovdoine last Friday. The
largest church was filed each night
and the deepest interest prevailed.
Over 300 signed the pledge. Thirty
active and ten honorary members we're

Rev Hill of the M d church is
certainly to be commended for
many good ideas contained in his
sermons. We quote as follows
from his remarks of last Sunday
morning on Building up Your
selves" He asks how can you
best build up your town? By
trading with your own merchants,
who pay taxes to help keep up
your town, and also take your
butter end eggs and wind-fall ap-
pies at the highest price, and
when you get in a hard place they
will carry you until harvest or
corn picking time. Then trade at
home instead of patronizing hous-
es in the large cities, who demand
cash with order, or at least G. o. d.
with privilege of examination on
ly, and who never pay one cent of
taxes to help your town or county;
