Servia's ruler has at his disposal the Order of Takoma, which he will bestow on any one for s150 and &SO0, the first charge being made for knighthood and
 the latter for a commandery. A similar
 price is asked for the Sun and Lion or oration which the Turkish Sultan sells to the faithful as we'll as to the faithless. The Sultan of Turkey also sells the Os- manic order of the first class for about s1 ,OOO and the third class of the same order for 2250. The Star of Roumania, possessed by military men. Is quoted by agents at e2OO. while the Sultan of Tunis offered the Order of Nischanel Istikar, in three classes at ESQ, S125 and sl50 re- spectively.
 San Marine. the smallest republic in the wor1d1 which is situated in Nit. Ti- tano. in the Italian province of Emilia, does a fiouri5hing business in titles. Un- like many, other countries, however, San Marine deyotes most of the money to the maintenance. of charitable institutions As a matter of fact, the system of selling titles in the little republic originated in this manner:. A hospital was required. and there being no money in the treas ury to pay for the building of it, the authorities hit upon the novel idea of of fering patents of nobility for sale The republic will make you a duke or baron for R1. 900. while e3OO will buy you the title of count. st.sl

TITLES THAT SELL WELL.
Foreign Countries Where a Man Can
 Buy One.

Foreign Countries Where a Man Can
 Buy One.
 There are various foreign countries where a man can obtain a high sounding handle" to his name by the simple and convenient method of writing out a check for the amount at which the distinction is valued. In fact, the rulers of these particular countries derive no small part of their income by conferring titles, or ders and decorations upon those who are willing to pay the price for them, says a writer in Tid-Bits. @.+.. 4..,.t 4
 Italy has earned the reputation of be- ing one of the best title selling countries, For about 1,60o pounds the king will con fer on you the title of prince. a distlnc- ton which carries with 1t manyTprivileges. If this amount Is a little more than one can afford, there are the lesser distinc- tions of duke and marquis. which cost H 200 pounds and 1000 pounds respective ly. Or for 500 pounds Italy will make you a count, while 4S0 pounds will buy you the title of baron, and 200 pounds enable you to become a "noble.'
 There is also another way of obtaining a title fin Italy. This is by purchasing an estate in the country This method, how ever. is not often resorted to- as 1t Is less ure, and often more expensive, than buying the title outright
 Even the Pope, by the by. does little business in title and ''order" trading. The late Pope Leo XIII, on the occasion of his papal jubilee, announced that fin order to celebrate that suspicious event he had created new honor. the St. Johns Lateran Cross. This decoration, 1t was explained, would be conferred upon those who subscribed to the fund for the restoration of the Basilica of St. Peters

Advice to Smokers.

pr. Gaze. well known French phy- sician. lays down the following rules for smokers, and maintains that those who observe them need have no fear that to- bacco will do them any harm;
 1. Only smoke mild cigars.
 2. Only smoke good cigars.
 2 Never smoke the last half of ci- gar nor the end of cigarette.
 4. If a cigar or cigarette goes out do
 E. Do not sit where there is a cloudeof tobacco smoke.
 6. Do not chew the end of cigar.
 1Tse A cigar holder or cigarette hold CT and line 1t with cotton. for the nico- tine will cling to the latter and will only nenetrate fin very small quantities into the smokers system.
 8. When you are at home only smoke a ,,,na vvItb a long stem, and, when obtain able. smoke a nargile in preference to any other sort of pipe

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful it :s
 in Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that charcoal Is the safest and most efficient disinfec- tant and purifier in nature, but few real ize its value when taken into the human system for. the same cleansing purpose.
 Charcoal Is a remedy that the more you take of 1t the better; 1t Is not a drug at all, but simply absorbs the gases and impurities always present in the stom- ach and intestines and carries them out of the system.
 Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking, drinking or after eating onions and other odorous vegetables.
 Charcoal effectually cleans and im- proves the complexion, it whitens the teeth and further acts as natural and eminently safe cathartic.
 It absorbs the injurious gases which coil lect in the stomach and bowels; 1t disin- fects the mouth and throat from the poi son of 'catarrh.,
 All druggists sell charcoal in one form or another, but probably the best char c@al and the most for the money Is In Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges; they are composed of the. finest powdered Willow charcoal, and other harmless antiseptics in tablet form or rather in the form of large, pleasant tasting lozenges, the charcoal being mixed with honey
 The daily use of these lozenges will soon tell in a much improved condition of the general health, better complexion. sweeter breath and purer blood. and the beauty of 1t is, that no possible harm can result from their continued use, but on the contrary, great benefit.
 A Buffalo physician in speaking of the benefits of charcoal, says. q advise Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges to all pa tients suffering from gas in stomach and bowels, and to clear the complexion and purify the breath, mouth and throat; I also believe the liver Is greatly benefited by the daily use of them; they cost but twenty-five cents box at drug stores, and although in some sense a patent preparation. yet believe I,get more and better charcoal in Sstuart's AbAorbent Lozenges than in any of the ordinary charcoal tablets" aowk-tf.
