WOMEN SMOKERS.

Increase in the Use of the Weed by the
 Fair Sex in the British Metropolis.
 For the past five-and twenty years at least society, using the word in its more exclusive meaning has looked up- on the cigarette between the feminine lips with more and more toleration One by one the fashionable restaurants have extended the same freedom of the post t-prandial cigarette to ladies as to gentlemen. The smoking room is at the present time a feature of all the ladies' clubs, and so far now from it's being a secret sanctum into which the merely introduced guest could not be taken, one finds that ladies who have acted as hostesses to little parties of friends, which may include men, take their visitors to the smoking room after lunch or dinner and there offer them of their own cigarettes. Gold cases for cigarettes. with monograms or notices i in diamonds, may often be seen among the brides presents at a fashionable wedding, and the match box Is as much an appurtenance of the chatelaine as the pencil or the tiny puff box. And such fair smokers are fastidious as to the brands of cigarettes that they buy There are shops not far from Bond street which specially cater for their lady customers, who pay very high prices for their finely favored, delicate and fragrant Turkish or Egyptian to- baccos.
 But it is in somewhat less aristocratic ranks that the real increase of cigarette smoking by women is most marked, and there it is that the lower prices with which "combines' and trusts" are | concerned are an incentive In no di- rection has the invasion of the sex into spheres previously regarded by man as his own been more marked that in the city. where women are now SO much en- ! gagged as clerks, typists and shorthand | writers They are of necessity thrown much into the company of men. They 1 become accustomed to an atmosphere where smoke prevails, In their degree i they become connoisseurs also, and are well versed in the subtleties of we'll l advertised makes. It has been 0bserv- 1 ed by more than one of the great whole | sale cigarette purveyors that women do ' not demand "1adies' brands" but are
 beginning to prefer the milder general
 varieties so numerous upon the market, l As presant the west End female shop
 assistants do not as a class smoke. l Living in" as is the custom of most
 of the great firms, does not allow much
 opportunity to acquire the taste as
 regular practice, and at the theaters or
 the social gatherings which they enjoy
 of the weekly half-holiday the tempta-
 ton does not arise. Hospital nurses
 also are not, as rule, smokers.
 Though in the streets one> does not see
 much evidence of the fact there is no
 doubt that working women are begin
 ming to smoke. The tobacco trade in London is vast one, and in the mak- ing both of cigars and cigarettes girls
 are mainly employed. It may be noted
 as curious fact that in choosing cigar
 cites. even of the least expensive de-
 scription, the feminine smoker never selects a dark tobacco. The paler it is
 the more likely it is to appeal to her.--

TO MAKE A GARDEN IN THE
 BACK YARD.

Make the soil as fine as possible. Work it over and over, Don't be dis couraged if it resists stubbornly at first you can conquer it if you put enough work on it. Chop it. spade it, pound 1t do anything that is calculated to pull verize it.
 It will need some kind of fertilizer, and if you cannot obtain suitable ma nure for 1t, get few pounds ot bone meal and mix into it. This will cost but a few cents, and will furnish good deal of plant food. Indeed, it is quite equal to barnyard fertilizer so far as nutriment is concerned but 1t does not help to tighten the soil as that does.
 Do not make the mistake of selecting plants difficult to manage. Choose the hardest sort-those which have the reputation of being able to take care Of themselves pretty we'll Keep the soil open about them and allow no weeds to grow among them If this is done, you may have very good substitute for the garden which possibly you have seen growing under more favorable condl- tionS.

census and renders the reformatory
 obsolete should be welcomed, and II funds are scarce at present for these
 purposes, it is quite obvious that the re- duction of the number of criminals and unregenerate youth which these schools would bring about would carry with 1t
 reduction in the amount of moneys needed for their maintenance. It is bet
 ter to spend one dollar for the cultiva- ton of good citizenship than one hun
 dred for the Encouragement of the bad,
 and when the state does its full duty in the direction of schools, it is not likely
 to find it's reformatory and punitive ap-
 propriations so necessarily large
 Meantime the private citizen of this
 country is doing his share by giving money to found such schools.-Harper's s Weekly.

{Contnued from First Page)
 As (. precautionary measure the en- tire police force of the city will be held in readiness to act and it is the inten- tion of the police department to deal f.miy and quickly with all violations of the law.
 The markets being well cleaned out on Saturday night. there is large amount of perishable merchandise ln the various freight houses awaiting ar rival, and should a general strike take place upon all the roads and docks great loss to merchants would result from the delay in handling their freight
 Should all the allied bodies in the All lied Freight Transportation Councll De called out from 10000 to 12,oOO men would be directly affected and the effect upon Boston's business interests would be most disastrous.
 Matters about the freight houses or the New York, New Haven and Hart ford railroad in South Boston have been extremely quiet to-day, and except for the presence of the small detail of po- lice on duty there it would never be mistrusted that the men employed there had gone on strike.
 The railroad company had gang or men, mostly Italians, at the freight houses clearing up the freight that had been lying promiscuously at the tune l the regular men went on strike last night. General Superintendent Clarke, | who was present part of the time, made the following statement: ] The V ork of ciearing up the unhnlsh | ad business left by the men at the time 1 of .ne strike yesterday has been car ried on during the day with force of new men. All of the freight left in the l various houses has been loaded and ] forwarded, including the cotton which | caused the disturbance Saturday after l reon. All inward freight has been un' 1 loaded ready for delivery at the usual | time Monday morning"
