DEVOTEEs OF THE WEED

An italian. prince has strictly forbid
den one of his daughters to smoke, but
so great hold had the habit obtained
over her that she secretly engaged in
the practice at every opportunity. One
day she was indulging in cigaret as
she reclined on balcony attired in a
dress of tbs ightest muslin. Sudden
~ her father appeared on the scene.
In the hurry to hide the evidence of
her disobedience the princess placed her
hand with the burning cigaret behind
her back. The result was startling and
traglc-her frock was Immediately in o
blaze. and she was fearfully burned
from head to foot, dying after suffering
intensely.
Here is another pathetic smoking in
ccident. An old Hungarian countryman
had smoked the same pipe for more
than fifty years, and, as natural con-
sequence, had grown to love it as a
companion. One day, however, his in
f Eaaa s grandson 9a 8 smashed the pipe be-
was, so broken-hearted at his loss that
he hanged himself on peg. In his
pocket was found a scrap. Of paper on
which was scribbled "My pipe is
done for and I must go, too.'
There is only one reigning soyer-
eign in. Europe who does not smoke at
all, and that is King Oscar of Sweden.
The greatest smokers are King Edward,
who smokes the very best cigars, and
King Leopold Of Belgium, who smokes
not fewer than a dozen cigars a day.
The emperor of Austria smokes a pipe
morning and evening, but the other
sovereigns are contented with cigarets,
the car consuming about thirty day.

NEW TYPES OF MOTOR. HORNS

Automobile horns are now beinp

One Of the new horns is in the shane
OF a frog; great brass frog, squatting.
with open mouth. The frog idea Is
carried out even to the note of the le
horn itself, the note being deep, metal
TIC, short-a frog-like sound. This frog
has two big green eyes, and a little
lamp, lighted behind them at night,
makes them shine splendidly.
There is another horn in the like
ness of a serpent. Above the open
mouth is little coronet-shaped light.
and in graceful coils the body. over
a yard long, runs back to the bulb be-
side the chauffeur s hand. -.

BEES AND ELECTRIC LIGHTS

The beeman, as he gently removed a
taWny- cluster of bees from his beard,
above all things, never set a bee
hive near an arc light. If you do, your
bees will die Of overwork within a
week.
"An arc light, emitting powerful
illumination, was put up last spring
near my bee hive. The night it was
put up my bees, mistaking its light for
daylight, worked like beavers, tho
"When the dawn came and the light
was extinguished, the bees, quite worn
out, turned in; but 10, in a few min
'utes the sun was shining, and out the
poor, bedraggl little creatures hurried
again, for no bee will consent to pass
the daylight hours in idleness.
'''They got thru the day somehow,
and at dusk, after thirty-six hours of
unceasing toll, they once more turned
in, Alas, the arc light began to hiss
and glow again, and the poor bees,
worn to shadows, bent, pailid, stag.
gered forth for another round Of labor.
r. 'They were all dead by the end of
the week-victims of overwork, every
mothers son of them.'

THOSE HAUNTING NOTES

There was peculiar sound from the
direction of the woods as the member
Of the Birdlovers' society sat in the
window of her friends country home
one summer afternoon.
She quietly took her small "Bird
Guide, :" from her ever-present bag, and
rapidly turned the leaves. At last she
paused with q smile Of satisfaction, and
listened, with her finger between two
leaves Of the little book, till the sound
came again. '@.-~.,* !. ~ ,.a@...--..
When it was repeated an expression
Of doubt fitted across her features, but
still she was hopeful. Ill.,. -. ~.
"You probably know many Of the
bird notes, living SO near the woods and
in such a quiet spot, Z" she said to her
friend. "Can you tell me what bird
that. is?' .js@S

eggs to other parts of the world
South Africa being anxious to
keep the profitable BUSINESS of
ostrich breeding to itself as much
as possible.
In South Africa, however, one
can buy ostrich eggs comparatively
cheap, and there they are even
used to some extent for cooking.
1t is specially fashionable to en-
ploy them in the manufacture of
Christmas buildings, to which they
are supposed to lend a peculiarly
delicious flavor. = National Rice

Eggs At SIS Apiece.

The regular price of ostrich eggs
in this country is S. apiece; and
they are dear at that rate, because
if one tries to hatch them, they
are liable to turn out sterile.
Most of the eggs laid by Amer
lean ostriches are Matched by
means of incubators, the breeder
being able to persuade the hen
bird to yield an extra supply by
secretly pillaging the nest. But
frequently they fail to produce
chicks, even with the most
expert treatment. Not long ago
the Smithsonian Institution, in
Washington, tried to hatch an
ostrich egg with the help of large
Brahma hen, the egg being half
buried in a nest of sand in order
that it might be covered satisfact-
orily; but this scientific expert
ment did not turn out a success.
When an ostrich egg does not
hatch it is blown, the shell being
worth something for an ornament.
But the operation has to be per-
formed with no little caution, be-
cause the egg is liable to explode
in the process. If it contents have
deteriorated to some extent, so to
speak, gases will have developed
which are liable to cause the shell
to burst as soon as it is weakened
i'll any part, and to throw the
fragments with great force in all
directions. Men have been quite
badly hurt by accidents of the
kind.
Though ostrich eggs may be
dear at S., it is much better to buy
the domestic product than to
import them. A South African
egg is an exceedingly expensive
luxury, inasmuCh as it has to pay
an export duty of SIPS. This
duty of SIPS per egg is imposed to
prevent the shipment of ostrich
