the WORLDS GREATEST SMOKERS.

HeilandsFs Coasums More Tobacco The.
Any People on Earth.
AS consumers of tobacco no nation
can beat the Dutch" says the New

greatest smokers in the world, the
amount consumed being seven pounds
per head for the entire population.
Germany has the reputation of being
. nation Of smokers. but the average
there Is only three pounds per capita

dampness Of their atmosphere makes
smoking . necessity and even the
young boys are given big black cigars
or a strong pipe. The Austrians are
also great smokers and there. as in
Germany. the pipe is the favorite
means Of consuming tobacco. In Spain
the pipe Is never seen, even in the
mouths of the poorest peasants. The
cigarette prevails among all classes.
In Italy. also. the cigarette is the pre-
vailing and popular Smoke" as it is
on the Western continent south of the
Rio Grande. So firm q hold has the

Dsld 1sg1ss ee Paris Rob the street
Letter Boxes.
In Paris the gentle art of letter
stealing has reached such proportions
Is to call for government interference.
The letter thief goes about with a lit
tie wire. one end of which is bent into
sharp hook. and fishes letters out of
the street letter boxes when nobody
Is looking. Last year the French pos
tai authorities estimate that no less
than $4,000 letters were thus stolen.
Now they are putting up boxes with
sharp teeth in the Sits for posting.
which, they hope, will render it i'm
possible for the thieves to continue
their letter fishing successfully. The
principal object Of the letter thieves
10. of course, to get hold of letters
which contain money or valuables, but
every letter which they catch they
read carefully and sometimes they
md In it something Of more value
than . small sum Of money; that is,
information which they can use for
purposes Of blaekmail. Many men

SEVERE TESTS FOR CAR WHEELS

Railroad Companies Have Made the
Requirements Very Severe.
Some remarkable tests on carwheels
have just been made at the foundries
At Black Rock. N. Y. The company
IL filling an order for a special quality
Of wheels to be used under 100000
pound capacity cars.
The requirements for wheels for
such work are very severe. and rail-
road engineers have regarded that
proposition as one of the most difficult
to be faced in modern railroading.
The load to be carried by each wheel
in such cars exceeds eight tons. more
than double the load in ordinary prac-
tice. The specifications and test re-
Quirements require wheels to stand 10
blows Of a weight of 14O pounds falling
II feet, the wheel being placed hori-
zontally. supported at three points on
the fange
Some railways also require the
wheels to stand the thermal test.
which consists of casting a band of
molten iron one and a half inches
thick by four inches wide around the
wheel tested. The test demonstrates
the ability of the wheel to Withstand
excessive heating from brake service.
The inspector selects three wheels
from each lot of 100 offered. and. il
any one fails to meet the test require
ments the lot is rejected.

"The appropriate hymn Is as far to

famous divine, but occasionally it
comes to hand without effort.
"A certain Presbyterian church once
invited . preacher to address the Sun

bly, tedious. The children began play
ing. and the adults looked dismal.
when the good man at last IN

and the shifting of feet and a battery

discharge Of long pent-up impatience
Then an elder arose who saw that the
general restlessness must be turned
In some harmless direction.
Accordingly. he shot quickly and at

was evidently delighted with the eld-
er's choice. for there was rare hearth

MEN LOVED sToNEwAlL JACKSON

1sneus Southern General Always the
Idol Of Hh soaaisrs.
Jackson always rode with a very
short stirrup, and when riding rapidly
kept his horse In a lope and stopped a
little. He was not . graceful rider.
but In battle he sat perfectly erect and
seemed to grow taller. Whenever he
appeared to his troops they always
cheered him-cheered him wildly as
long Is they could see him. They
would do this whether on the march
or under fire In the thickest of the
fight. Often after . days hard and
weary march. whom the men were
cooking their suppers. if he appeared
they would abandon everything and
cheer him.
The men in the army Of the POtO-
mac had begun to greatly admire Jack
son, and that splendid soldier. Gen.
Winfield Scott Hancock. told me that
they had begun to look upon him as al
most invincible, and Gen. Hancock
then said. He was worth a corps Of
men to the southern army"
Stonewall Jackson was Cromwellian
in many aspects of his character. and
prominently so in his sense of right.
in his stern sense of duty. Like Crom-
well, he was almost fanatic in it.
While a professor at the Virginia Mill
tary Institute, he carried this so far
that he would not write. would not
even mail, a letter on Sunday, or even
mail it so that it would be transport

and one promptly challenged the 9th.
or. A duel was arranged, and, when
the combatants met ON the field, their
eyes were bandaged. pistols were put
in their hands and they were ordered
to hre.
As . result, one was killed and the
other was arrested, together with the
witnesses and seconds proceeding
which surprised them very much, as
they claimed that men in society
fought duels constantly and were
never arrested.
On the same day, and near the same
place. two servant girls fought q duel
with knives, their object being to de-
termine which Of them should become
the wife Of handsome soldier. The
duel was conducted according to or.

the two girls were SO severely wound

A doctrine advanced by President
Roosevelt at the unwilling Of the shaft
at Arlington, which has been erected in
memory Of those who fell in the Span
sh-American war, does credit to him
and to his conspicuous Office. He has
said much in glorification Of strenuous
living, and he has sometimes been mis-
understood. We have been too ready in
the lead Of those who speak lightly to
regard his robustiousness as Of tho kind
that BELTS the battle and the hunting
field. The young man is moro apt to
follow his example in the spirit Of id.
venture than with view to rendering
practical service.
At Arlington Mr.. Roosevelt made it
quite clear that he has ideals in mind
for young men above rough-riding and
wildcat hunting. The lesson which he
drew from the war in this address is
peculiarly wholesome. The struggle
taught that tho man who does not care
to do any act uotil the time for heroic
action comes. does not do the heroic act
when the time does come" 1t taught,
too. that lin addition to dying for the
nation you have got to be willing and
