MATCHES WE'RE NOT USED.
Souvenirs of the Days When Smokers
Got a Licht From Live Goals,

When smoking first became fashion
able in ENGLAND during the reign OF
Queen Elizabeth il was customary for
those who used the weed to have in
his outfit a pair of tobacco tOngs. If
he were a gallant of the court they
were made of silver: if a substantial
merchant. OF brass, II if a working.
man, of cheap iron ware. They We're
a necessary implement to the smoker.
Matches unknown. and the only
available fire in the daytime was the
blazing log upon the hearth. With
the poker a small piece of glowing
ember was broken off. which with the
tonGs was applied to the freshly
charged pipe. Hundreds of these
tongs are to be found in the colIoc-
lions of antiquarians. Most of them
are clumsy objects, but a few are 50
graceful in C,,tline and artistic II
workmanship that they seem to be of
French and Flemish rather thar Eng.
lish origin.
These tOngs were revived on a
small scale some twenty years ago.
when they were employed for holding
cigarettes. The cigarette tongs were
from two to four inches in length.
connected at the upper end by a smart
spring, which kept the ends together
when in a position of rest. When
used the smoker opened them and
caught the cigarette between the tips
close up to the mouth end. The con-
t%rivance enabled the user to burn the
cigarette down to the last Whit and
protected the fingers from the discol-
oring vapor that produces the brown
stain upon the fore and middle fingers.
The new tongs shown nowadays are
somewhat larger and are intended to
hold cigars as well as to reach a COal
from the fireplace to a pipe. They are
made of iron. steel and gun metal. and
many of the latter are said to be manu-
featured from warships. cannon and
other trophies of the late war with
Spain.

While the general opinion of those
supposed to be authorities on this
matter has been that the habit OF
drinking water at meals is a deleteri-
Jus one. it Is now stated, according
to recent Investigators. that a little
water. if not too cold. is beneficial,
as it assists in the digestion of food.

Growth of Socialism .

Of special interest is the growth of
Socialism as political factor in Ger
many. 1t must be borne in mind that
Germany is the birthplace of Social
ism. and that it has attained a higher
development there than anywhere else.
First, as to its commercial develop
ment. In 1857 the Socialists cast $4,000
votes at the reichstag elections, as
against the Center's 1,341 900 for in
stance. and against the National Liber-
ais 1.46S,0O0. In 1878 and 1879, owing to
Bisroarck's repressive measures, the So
cialist vote dropped to $4,000. But from
that time until the last general election,
that of 1898, the Socialist vote rose
steadily and rapidly, and in 1898 it at
tanned to 100000, while the vote of all
the other parties gradually went down,
and to-day some Of those parties poll
barely one-fourth of their former vote.
The Socialists to-day are, ins point of
numbers, by far the largest party; and
at the next election they will reach the
100000 mark, and possibly exceed it.
