When Children Smoked.

Every one has read that Hawkins in
Toduced tobacco into England and
that King James inveighed against it..
Elizabeth liked to sit on low stool and
watch Sir Walter Raleigh putting
away. In Anne's reign almost every
one smoked. In Charles lis reign
children were sent to school with
their pipes in their satchels, and the
schooDnaster called halt in their
studies while they smoked"
In 1902 Jorevin spent an evening
with his brother at Garraway's coffee
house, Leeds, and writes: Il was sur
prised to see his sickly child of three
years old fill its pipe of tobacco and
smoke it as audfarandly as a man of
threescore. After that a second and
third pipe without the least concern,
as it Is said to have done above a year
ago"

The Rinq Finger.

To the question often asked why the
marriage ring should be placed on the
left hand many answers are given.
Some say because the left hand is
much less used than the right. and
therefore the ring is less liable to get
broken. In the British Apollo of 1888
1t is stated that for the same reason
the fourth finger was chosen. which is
not only less used than either of the
rest. but is more capable Of preserv-
ing ring from bruises, having this
one quality peculiar to itself-that it
cannot be extended but in company
with some other finger, whereas the
rest may be singly stretched out to
their full length and straightness.

A CHINESE DROUGHT.
Tragic Scenes That Come With
Long Spell of Dry Weather.


Ir many districts of China water be-
comes very scarce during the summer
months. Some of the fearful results
of the drought are described thus by
the Rev. John MacGOwan: The great
sun blazes down from an unclouded
sky and drinks up the water that is
clinging to the roots of the rice. The
soil now cracks with the ferv ent heat,
and every blade of rice seems to be
making an appeal to the heartbroken
farmer for the water that alone will
enable it to live. He is now at his
wits end to save his crop, for that per-
haps is the only thing now that lies
between him and poverty and despair.
a failure of crop means very likely
that he will have to sell his daughter
or son perhaps or even barter away
his wife If he would keep the home
stead from slipping from his grasp.
Some of the most piteous scenes in the
many tragic ones that cast their shad-
ows over the home in the experience of
the Chinese husbandmen can be wit
messed during the summer months
when there has been a shortage in the
fall of rain.
The wells have become dry. and the
little ponds have been drained of every
drop of water they contained. The
rice in the field has lost the dark green
color that with its rich sheen tells of
health and vitality and is turning into
a sickly yellow that means decay and
death, Water must be got now and at
any price, for two or three days more
of this will see the grain blasted IN tho
fields. They accordingly dig the ponds
deeper to catch the tiniest rils that
may flow into them. and as the work
in the blazing sun might at once drink
these up the work is carried on during
the midnight hours, so that not Il drop
of the precious fluid may be absorbed
by the great thirsty dragon in the sky.
"Often these most pathetic endeavors
to save their crops end in tragedy and
death. Men are making a supreme eff
fort to avert disaster from their homes,
and in the mad endeavor to gain the
water for themselves the widest pas
sions of, the heart are aroused, and
neighbors will struggle with each 9TH
er for the slowly triclllng drops of
water. The solemn air of night Is
broken with the sounds of conflict. and
the stars looking down from the mid
night sky see murder committed by
men whose sole and controlling motive
is the preservation of their homes."-

Women Smokers In Ireland

The comparison between women
smoking in England and in Ireland,
says correspondent is hardly on all
fours. In Ireland many of the older
women whose lives are spent in hard
toll smoke in the country districts, but
they would utterly disdain a cigarette.
They smoke short "cutty" pipe and
the very strongest and most pungent
tobacco-Limerick roll. 1t is no un.
common thing for a man to hand his
lighted 'cutty" pipe, black with long
seasoned smoking. over to a woman for
a draw" as it is called. In Ireland
the pipe has long been the solace of
the poor, aged, Woodworking woman,
and the habit has its origin in the use
of tobacco for allaying the pangs of
hunger in famine days.-London Chron.

Trafalgar Square, Where Agitators
"Blow Off Steam.'
There is perhaps no other great city
where the measure of free speech
which is accorded to agitators of all
kinds is larger than it is in London. 1t
is the practice there to give anybody
and everybody a chance to spout away
to his hearts content in certain well
recognized places of rendezvous, such
as the spacious Trafalgar square, and
especially the far more spacious ex-
panse of field or common in that por-
tion Of Hyde park where the ire
formers tree" stands and where there
is room not only for thousands and
tens Of thousands, but even hundreds
of thousands.
Ordinarily in favorable weather on
