'The little paper tube of tobacco was,

the Russians, gentle and simple, long
before it was seen between the lips OF
the Englishman and Frenchman"

his first visit to Russia, was being in
troduced to a local banking house As
the cashier momentarily laid aside his
cigarette fin convenient ash tray to
attend to us my visitor looked amazed
~ around the spacious room, where
here and there among the staff of six
ty clerks he saw the curling blue
smoke of many cigarettes. The cash

waitress emerging from some lower

clerks in the various departments, and
the waitress returned for further sup.

Dick Ewing was true southerner

Dick turned his horses head In the

Roxanna was called to the door,
where Abraham had stood a few mo-

plored her to return. She offered the
same excuse that had greeted Dick.
Miss Nor, Abraham seems like he
thinks l ought to work for his folks,

Eleanor and Dick wheeled about and
rode down the lane at full speed. Con-
versation seemed to lag until they
reached the spacious porch of the

quiesced.

golden sunlight. The soft breezes blew

"Dlck Ewing, on your honor, do you

The human mind, whether that of
the savage or the civilized man, Is
naturally thinking machine. In early
times, before science was born, the
phenomena Of nature required an ex-
PLANTATION, and the savage beholder
shaped the myth, which satisfied his
untutored mind. 1t Is out of mans
natural craving to know the reason
why" that all myths are born. AS
the distinguished anthropologist. Tylor,
puts 1t, "When the attention of man
In the myth making stage Of intellect
Is drawn 10 any phenomenon which
has to him an obvious reason, he in

It." In such way all mythology orig

A KINGS CARRIAGE.
Old Fashioned and Elaborate Vehicle
Used In ENGLAND.

osoa w CH9iaHo.
Englands state carriage is one of the
most costly and splendid In the world
1t was built in 116l at a cost of $780,
600 on the occasion of the marriage of
George III. and has ever since carried
the English kings and queens on all
high state occasions. Sir William
Chambers designed the vehicle, which
weighs four tons.
Despite Its many years service Its
great wheels, gear and body are said
to be as sound as when built, and it
looks as If 1t would go on forever
Steel springs We're unknown when the
coach was built, and its ponderous vet
dainty. luxurious body Is suspended on
leather braces, not unlike those of the
old Concord stagecoaches of America.
Its balance Is so perfect that touch
of the finger Is enough to set the body
swinging ON the big creaking straps
which brace the carved and sided tri.
tons supporting the drivers seat and
hammer cloth. The length of the We
hicle is twenty-four feet, and Il Is
twelve feet high
The elaborate carvings cost more
than the carriage proper the coach
builders bill having been less than
$4,000, while that of the carver was
more than $4,000. Something of the
character Of the ornamentation may be
guessed from the fact that the artist
Clprianl received 1900 for painting
the panels and that the late makers
charge was about $1,000, the crimson
satin interior of the carriage being
most deliberately upholstered.
The preparation of the royal euuipage
for state occasions is real sight Six
pairs of milk white horses from the
royal stud are always used, and all
wear false tails. The coachman, In
powder and curls. mounts his seat with
the aid of n ladder, but does not really
drive, positions on the horses and state
grooms who walk beside them being in
command of the Philadelphia
