THE BEAUTY OF THE ALPS.

German Tourists and Monster Hotels
 The recent forma ton in Switzerland of a league for the preservation Of the beauty of the Alps has already met with a sympatric reception in England, where the matter has been taken up with a view, if not forming an Eng fish branch, at least of lending a help ing hand.
 Sir Martin Conway, who was asked by a representative of the Pal Mall Gazette whether the movement was likely to succeed, said he thought 1t was, and his reason for thinking So was that it is a local movement, Had the preservation league been formed outside of Switzerland he doubted whether anything would have come of it, but seeing that it was a home move ment, it was likely, he considered, to have considerable effect.
 The greatest injury done to Switzer- land, in Sir Martins opinion. has been the erection of monster hotels alto- gether out of scale with the villages and their surroundings. and it was very difficult, he said, to see how the des- truction of the Alps in this way could be prevented except by the pressure of local public opinion. But has local opinion" Sir Martin was asked, lever prevented the opera tions of the builder where the needs of the tourists have been a. considera- tion?''
 Yes" said Sir Martin, T will give 1 you a case as much overrun by tourists as Switzerland, the very beautiful vil- lage of Sterzing. A league was formed 1 by preserving it's beauty. and it has preserved it absolutely; not a single house has been moved or altered and every new house has been built in har- nlony with the old type. The place, 1 it is true, has been cleaned and smart ened, but it is the perfection of preser- vation. And what has been accom- plished in the Tyrol, can, I contend, ! also be done in Switzerland
 l Sir Martin admitted. of course, that little if anything could be done with the places that have already been de prived of their charm, but there were many beautiful places left, he pointed out, where the influence of the league l should be most beneficial
 In common with every visitor to Switzerland in recent years, Sir Martin has not failed to notice that the days when the principal tourists were Eng. fish have gone by. The English and Americans he remarked, ''are showed under by the Germans"
 ITO what do you attribute this changer" our representative asked.
 TO organized trips and cheap trave very largely. The cost of a return ticket from Germany to Switzerland is
 small, and the journey, of course, take nothing like the time that is occupied
 in going from England. The Germans moreover, have always been a grea, people for wandering in the summer and the fact that they should have
 gone to Switzerland in great number.
 is not extraordinary, They expect t find accommodation at reasonable
 rates. and it is no doubt to the con
 stantly increasing number of German
 tourists that the erection of these mon
 ster hotels is due. But any one wh

died in his seyenty-third year, a man beside whose smoking record that Of William Pattison appears quite insig- nificent. From his twenty-seventh year he kept an exact account of his consumption of beer and tobacco. In his fifty-fourth year he became a tee totaller, after having drunk 2S,7S6 glasses of ale-a very moderate tally, working out at but three a day. But it is of his immoderate smoking, which he continued till his death, that We
 have to speak.
 In forty-five years he smoked no fewer than 628,713 cigars, or 13,S71 a year, giving an average of thirty-eight
 g. day. Out of this gigantic total, 43,-
 300 were given to him at various times, leaving 5S5.213 which, although this
 Austrian devotee to the shrine of My Lady Nicotine never paid more than
 a penny for each one, cost nearly e2,-
 300.
 But even this marvellous record is beaten by that of Mynheer Van Klaes,
 known by the nickname of the King
 Of the Smokers He was eighty-one al the time of his decease, and sometimes smoked as much as 10 pounds of to hacco in a week. How strong with hin was the ruling passion in death was shown by his funeral.
 At his express desire he was placed in a coffin lined with the wood of old cigar boxes. At his feet were deposit. ed packet of 'Caporal' and a blad. der of fine Dutch golden-leaf, while by his side were laid his favorite china, ! howled pipe, box of matches china steel and finder. Around his grave was . gathered a circle of Rotterdam smok, CTS, each with his pipe, from which, al 1 the words, Ashes to ashes, dust tc dust,'' he shook the ashes on the coffin 1 lid.

What They Have Allowed Themselves

What They Have Allowed Themselves
 in Way of Indulgence.
 Berlin has recently lost one of her most ardent and methodical devotees of the fragrant weed by the death of Herr Grunn, whose daily allowance of tobacco consisted of six pipes, six ci- gars and six, cigarettes. This amount he never varied, save on his birthday. when it was doubled, and on New Years Day, which, on the principle of starting the year temperately, was kept as day of total abstinence.
 Love of tobacco and wisdom often go together. Prince Bismarck was wont to boast that he had in some thing like fifty years consumed more than one hundred thousand cigars, 8 number that works out at an average of five a day-no great feat, perhaps, for one who was at one period a chain smoker-lighting each cigar from the glowing stump of the one just enjoyed.
 Edison. the great inventor must hold a superior record. Ten cigars day are his normal allowance, but when deeply absorbed in work he finds | that number necessary to stimulate his brain Even more in a day used that celebrated singer. Mario, to dispose of;
 but his day commenced with dawn and concluded not until, sleep overpower- ing him, the still-burning Havana ! slipped from his lips. .s1 | Without a cigar was Edwin Booth, 1 the tragedian, scarcely ever seen. Even while engaged ,on his professional. du- ties his beloved weed was present in ) the wings, ready to be snatched from
 his dresser's hand for enjoyment dur 1 ing the sometimes exceedingly brief in- 1 tervals between his exits and entrances. Twenty-Five cigars day were at one time his usual allowance-an allow 1 ance, however, not infrequently ex- l ceeded.
 1 To revert to ordinary folk. By a 1 steady average of fourteen cigars a day William Pattison of Michigan managed ] in twenty years to account for 100000 l excellent weeds, number that draw 1 upon, him the expostulation of his friends on the. ground that such ex 1 cess was prejudicials to long life, tc l which he opposed thetfact that Goethe
