WHY shaft credited to Aetress.

Miss Helen Lackaye, sister of the
popular actor Wilton Lackaye. has the
family gift of repartee fully devel'
oped. Recently young society man
who prldes himself on his popularity
with female acquaintances begged
from her few of the violets she
wore at her corsage. He placed the
flowers inside the case Of his watch,
vowing that as long as he lived they
should repose there. A few days later
the two met again and Miss Lackaye
asked about the flowers. The young
man was visibly embarrassed. but ex-
planned that he had opened the watch
while in the street and that gust Of
wind had blown away the violets.
"And you kept the watch after that?"
said Miss Lackaye with sweet incredu-
lily.

GREATEST USERS OF TOBACCO.
Figures Show That Americans Have

Figures Show That Americans Have
That Distinction.
An expert has figured up the
amount of tobacco annually consumed
in the United States. The total is SO
large as to be slightly beyond the
reach Of the ordinary mind. Accord.
ing to this statistician, the quantities
used in this country every year read
something like this: 100000, 900
~y..lnds Of manufactured tobacco, TO-.
c00,000,000 cigarettes and 1000, 000, 900
cigars. The value of the tobacco
chewed and smoked annually in the
United States, exclusive of cigars and
cigarettes, is more than 10000 000
Since Japan yearly smokes 100000
600 cigarettes and China only half that
number, the United States is the baa-
ner consumer of the little paper rolls
With regard to the use and abuse
of tobacco, a New York physician
says that in tie case of men tobacco
is sometimes harmless and possibly
beneficial, but because Of their pecu-
liar nervous susceptibility should be
let religiously alone by women and
growing youths. OF the several ways
of using the weed the most harmful
is said to be snuff taking, followed in
order of harmfulness by chewing,
cigar smoking, pipe smoking and Gig
arettes.

Singular Lack of Fraternity Among
the Japanese of New York-A
Possible Explanation.

It is singular fact, and without
parallel in any other race, that al
though there are 5000 japanese in
New York there is no Japanese colony.
The yankees of the east" are not gre
garious, like their brethren from China
town. It is easy to see how this comes
about. Such Japs as are in New York
are not drawn from the class which
Usually makes up the Immigrant
hordes. Most Of them go there with
money or are supplied with it from
home and they are free from the neces-
sity of making their own living.
Probably half Of the Japs there are
preparing themselves for some profess
sion which they expect to practice at
home. The others represent japanese
mercantile interests and are invariably
men Of great business ability and fully
In touch with American customs. They
become keenly offended when mis-
taken for Cinnamon. That they re-
gard their residence in America as a
temporary exile is shown by the fact
that there are only half dozen Japan

TAUGHT BOYS TO SMOKE.
structions In Use of Pipe and ~
Tobacco 400 Years Ago.

At first sight the recent agitation for
legislation to prevent the sale Of to-
bacco to boys seems to show q state
Of affairs previously unknown. That
such is not the case. however, is
shown by story Of the closing years
of the seventeenth century as related
by De Rochefort, the French traveller,
says the New York Herald. g
During his visit to Worcester, Eng
land, he records, he was asked by his
guide If 1t was the custom in France,
as in England, that when children
went to school they carried In their
satchel with their books their pipes
and tobacco, and that, at stated hour,
the master smoked with them, teach
ing them how to hold their pipes and
draw in the tobacco" There is ample
confederation that this is no mere idle
tale.
What may be called the golden age
of smoking was reached in the reign of
Queen Anne. For over a century the
use Of tobacco had gradually but stead
lily increased in popularity amongst the
people Of England. From the end of
Queen Anne's reign until the last 80
years or 80 the practice Of snufing the
herb usurped the place Of the pipe
among the cultured, though smoking
never lost its hold upon the working

There is now building in Imperial q dwelling that is a wonder of elegance and costliness for town of this size a II room structure with all the mod ern Improvements and costing complete about five thousand dollars.
 It is the property and future home of MT. D. C. Huddleston, who with his family came here from Long Beach in October 1901 and settled on Tenth street west of Imperial avenue where their brick dwelling adjoins the site of the present more modern structure. The new house is of frame, 3Sx46 feet on the ground, two and half stories high and contains fourteen rooms and basement. It has tower at the corner near 40 feet high surmounted by winding stairs and the top deck of the main roof will also be accessible From these upper points the view is fine, showing Imperial to be much larger than it looks from the ground.
