Great Comfort Derived by Hen Who
Have Lighted Pipes During
bloody Battles.

Most Of the distinguished officers Of
the world hold that whatever COM
forts hesoldier ON active service may
be deprived Of he should on no account
be stinted in the matter Of tobacco,
and in the gravest Of histories relating
to the -Prussian war it is
stated that the total want OF even to-
bacco TO make cigarettes among the
French troops on many occasions did
not a little to dispirit them, says the
Edinburgh Scotsman.
Private Jones, who obtained the Vic
toria cross at Rorke's Drift, says that
in the very thick of the fight several
comrades lighted their pipes with blaz-
ing fragments of wood from the
wooden hospital which had been fired
by the Zulus, and at Majuba Hill one
OF the men was found dead with the
stump of cigar between his clinched
teeth. Amid the awful carnage of the
Russo Turkish war Turks horribly
mangled were frequently found smok-
ing in the midst Of their agony and ut
tering no sound Of complaint.
Mr.. Archibald Forbes. the great war
correspondent. has told how before
Metz, in the Franco-Prussian war, a
soldier terribly wounded craved but
one relief--a eigarand he observed
soldiers firing away at close quarters,
pipe in mouth. Gen. Won Bentheim,
observing a sight Ike this, asked one
Of the men for a light. and himself
coolly lighted his own cigar and then
led his men on. Another war corre-
spondent, belonging to one Of our
great daily papers, tells that he saw
at Saarbrucken a large party Of Bruns-
wick hussars gallop into the thick OF
the fray with cigars IN their mouths,
md this in the face Of q solid mass OF
French troops and a hail Of bullets !.
