Of Il watch breaks the monotony OF
those long, unmarked hours and rest

like a dog; he spends five minutes
daily outside his cell-thrce in a small
court and two in going there ana
back. This life goes on sometimes Tor
two weeks, sometimes for as many
months.
Then one night. when he is sleep
ing uneasily in the narrow bed, the
iron door is flung open and his ward
ers tell him to get up and dress.
Dazed and disheveled. he follows them

Of the article in the United States, In
Great Britain the per capita consump.

The theory that the smoker will

how much the cost of his ~favorite to-
bacco may be increased by a customs
or an excise tax, seems to be set aside
in the case Of the English. One Of
the deductions of the American stats.
ticians is that, on the whole, the coun-
tries with the highest taxation show
the lowest consumption, certainly a
diminished consumption of the more
expensive grades of tobacco.-Phila.

he or she Is seized by the gendarmes
and the house searched. Then the
prisoner is taken to the citadel and
into the Office OF what is known as
the tenth pavilion" There he is
photographed and his valuables taken
from him. Men and women all re-
ceiyc the same treatment, as there are
no female warders in the citadel.
After being closely inspected by the
warders. the prisoners name, age. oc-
cupation, etc, are entered in the
books, and he is conducted into a
long, dimly lighted corridor, into
which a number OF small iron doors
open. They are those of the cells

often makes a poor creature shut up
i'll a cell for weeks and used to his
warder's brutal speeches, burst into
tears. He sits down bewildered, tea
is brought in, cigarettes are handed
round, and the conversation begins.
This conversation is nothing more
or less than a cross examination pre-
vious to the form of q trial which is
generally gone through before a politi-
cal offender is sentenced. The object
Is to unnerve him to such a point that
he makes a clean breast Of it and
gives information against his party.
These midnight visits are repeated at
long intervals, and men and women
who are proof against any amount of
physical suffering dread them more
than anything in the tenth pavilion.

PRISON OF POLAND.
GLOOMY POLITICAL BASTlLE AT
" WARSAW.
Citadel Once Il Fortress, in Which
Thousands of Polish Patriots We're In
cnrccrntcd and Where Many Grim
Tragedies We're Enacted.

The political prison OF Warsaw Is
the most hated and certainly the most
dreaded spot in all Warsaw. Oncc a
fortress, it Is now a political prison,
behind the walls OF which many grim
and terrible tragedies are enacted.
How many men and women have
been executed in the citadel since the
present movement against the Cars
government reached Poland, nobody
but the comnlandant and the governor
OF the prison will ever know.
The few who return from this
prison say little about what goes on
inside, for they dare not tell the
truth. But their drawn faces, sl:at-
tered nerves and bruised bodies speak
the citadel has been called the bastile
Of Poland; little wonder hat the
Pole shudders at its rcd walls and
green ramparts. Not only is it the
slaughter house of his race, but its
guns, cver turned toward the city,
are ready to .vomit fire at the first
sign of a general rising against the
~ otIeiSSl hlllitl l SdlCo
Built by Russian hands but with
Polish gold after the revolution of
1869, the citadel forms the apex of
the triangular-shaped Notifications
that stretch from the Prussian to the
Austrian frontiers. 1t is to Poland
what the fortress Of IS. Peter and
Paul in Petersburg is to Russia.
Should this country ever escape from
the Russian yoke it will meet the
same fate as the bastile during the
French revolution of 1889.
A visitor to the citadel is struck by
it, pleasant appearance. There are
no gray walls or lowering towers.
Warm, red brick pavilions, a gold
domed church, well-swept walks, and
grass plots f1anked by cannon balls ar
rayed In pyramids are the first things
that meet the eye. Soldiers are being
drilled, a band, unseen, but near, Is

TOBACCO RULES rHE WORLD.

Bc1gians the Heaviest Users, with
the Americans a Close Second.
The universally Of. the use of to-
bacco is once more emphasized by tho
tables showing the consumption OF
the commodity In many countries, just
published by the Department Of Com
merce and Labor. Despite edicts,
ukases, counterblasts, sermons, tracts
and proclamations, my Lady Nicotine
has not been deposed. Long ago an
English writer lamented that the new
and strange habit had been acquired
with a rapidity to which the history
Of no other luxury afforded a parallel.
Rated among the luxuries, tobacco is
ar easy mark for the taxgatherers,
and yields a tremendous revenue to
the treasury of every nation. The
anti-tobaccO propaganda remains ap-
palled by the bewildering number Of
devotees Of the weed and the billions
of dollars that go up annually in the
world In tobacco smoke.
1t requires nearly 5OO,OOO,OOO pounds
of tobacco to meet the consumption Of
a single year In the United States. II
this huge consumption were equally
distributed among the entire popula-
ton every person would dispose of
FIVE and a half pounds Of the product
annually. Eliminating those who are
under 10, constituting a third Of the
population, the per capita consumption
would be about sixteen pounds. No
census report has undertaken to ex-
hibit what Is the per capita consump-
ton among the actual users Of to-
bacco.
The statistics place Belgium in the
first place with respect to the per cap
tia consumption. The United States
are a close second. No other coun-
tries can be regarded as rivals Of Bel
GUM and the United States in devo-
ton to the tobacco habit. The Bel
gians are hopeless smokers. Ameri-
cans are the most versatile tobacco
users. The varieties Of cigars, smok-
Ing and chewing tobacco and snuff
thrown on the market here every year
are infinite.
In the production Of tobacco the
United States outrun all competitors.
It is estimated that this country grows
yearly one-half of the worlds supply.
There WAS an increase Of nearly 60
percent IN the e devoted to the
tobacco crop from 1896 to 1860. The
total valre OF our tob-eco rts arfac-
lures In 1900 was $263,O78,54B. The

At last we were to be admitted to

RELICS OF ORDINATIONS.
Valuable Collection from England
Loaned to Public Library.

Loaned to Public Library.
a small collection of coronation rel.
les, representing costumes II robes
worn at different English coronations
by the royalty and the principal at
tendants, was loaned to the public
museum recently, says the Kansas
City Journal. The cloth samples are
the property Of Hutton II. Haley and
were sent to him by his grandmother,
Mrs. Haley, of London, Eng, who
was in touch with many of the tail
ors Of London, and who was placed in
a position to make the collection,
| which is probably the only one Of its
kind eXtant.
| The most treasured piece of cloth is
Il strip taken from the coronation robe
worn by James II. in 1852, refined and
ton in 1898, and later remodeled for
the royal Inauguration Of Edward
VII. in 1902. The cloth is Of 4 ricl
lustrous red and was actually part
of the robe until it was remodeled for
Edward VII.
The collection also includes a piece
Of the beautiful crmine and gold
trimmed robe worn by the Princess
Victoria at her fathers coronation in
1902. There We're sixty yards Of gold
braid, costing $500, and forty yards
Of ermine of an almost equivalent val
lie. The cloak was upon a purple
background and lined with white
satin.
Carmine and white samples of the
official robes Worn by the bishops at
the coronation, white and wine-col-
ored satin, corresponding to that in
the robes worn by the Knights of the
Path, and a blue and carinine COM
bination clipped from the unfinished
official garb Of the Prime Minister,
Lord Rosebery, who was n Of the

A night in the Marconl long dis

South Wellfeet, on Cape Cod, is a
night spent In a realm of wonders. It
is a night Of mysterious sights and
sounds emanating from things that are
little known, from things that are in

Even the men who are employed
there, whose duty 1t is to receive and
transmit these wonderful, winged air

the wonder, to the mystery of 1t ALL
