smokins In Berlin Streets.

Before May %, 1892. no smoking W..
allowed in the streets or parks of Bers
lin, and offenders We're punished by u
fine for the first infraction Of the rule
and by imprisonment afterward. The
king of Prussia in those days detested
smoking and the police and the mill
tary men Were under strict orders to
arrest any one who dared to smoke in
public. It is recorded that when Ma
poleon occupied Berlin a hundred years
ago the Berliners eagerly took advan-
tage of the opportunity to smoke. and
took special delight in putting smoke
in the faces of the police. who had then
no power to arrest them. In 1892. how
ever, the restriction was withdrawn.
and since then the people have cele-
brated the anniversary with great joy.
