Europe's RuLers Use the Weed,
Cigarettes Being Popular Form

During the last few days the Sultan
OF Turkey was shut up in the Yildlz
Kiosk he Is said 10 have smoked over
thirty cigarettes every hour to cool his
nerves" For years Abdul Hamid has
smoked dozens Of strong cigarettes
every day. and Il can he said without
fear OF contradiction that he has been
the most ardent devotee Of the fragrant
weed that was ever seated upon a
throne.
King Edward likes cigars, cigarettes,
and q pipe. He. however, has no liking
for American-made cigarettes. his f.
vorites being mild Turkish ones. IN his
young days mis- majesty smoked cigar
cites. and nothing else. but now he is
wrapped in paper His everyday cigar
Is said 20 be specially made for him
in Cuba. or the finest tObacco.
Once when the King was miles out
on the Yankee prairie. during his
American and Canadian travels. he
produced a cigar and his companions
followed his example. "A match,
please said his royal highness. A
match There was but n match be
tween the whole party. The position
was tragic, for the wind was tearing
over the prairie. In order 20 decide who
should attempt to keep the solitary
match duEnt IN the WHO lols were drawn
with blades Of grass. The dire response
bilitv fell upon the King. He lag on the
ground. and ~his companions gathered
round him wiz outstretched coats as
shelter. The match was lighted. so were
all the cigars. Never before or since
has the King felt so nervous as when
he struck that match in the vast Amer
lean prairie miles away from any town
or village.
The German Emperor smokes cigars
and cigarettes out OF doors, but when
in the privacy Of his study he puhs al
a small wooden pipe OF the type favored
by the average smoker and costing
about half q crown. The Kaiser con-
sumes various kinds Of tobacco, some
times a mixture. and his cigars. which

Supplying Animals :.
With Eyes of Glass
Horses, Dogs, and Even Lions, Are Wearing Ones Sup
piled by European Doctors-HorSs Usually Have
More Trouble With Their Teeth.

One OF the elephants at the Paris Zoo
a an aching mOlar, which was driV-
ing IL TO despair and giving It a temper
that was growing dangerous. The medt-
cal officer at the Zoo decided to re-
move the offending tooth, but finding
this a more difficult task han he bar
gained for, made up his mind to stop
f.. The operation was entirely salts
factory. and the big remained per-
feCtly still during h hammering and
stopping. The hllins consisted Of a
porcelain composition.
Dislocated Jaw.
A shark in the New York Zoo WIS
frightened one day by a lady visitor
bringing an umbrella into the aquarium
and poking 1t in order to make it frisky.
The shark jumped out of its tank and
struck the screen that surrounded it
with such terrific force that it badly
dislocated it's jaw. The doctor was call
ed in, and he found thai tie maneater
would have to be removed from the tank
I'm order TO be properly attended to.
Pulleys were fixed above the tank.
and the shark was gently raised from
the water and then lowered on to a
trolley. The trolley was wheeled into
the Zoos hospital and the shark lifted
on to the operating table, where the
doctor set its jaw and bound it with
linen bandageS.
When the shark was taken back to
the auditorium Il was found that the
pulleys, which had acted so admirably
for lifting IL from the tank, would hot
allow it being put back again. The
shark could not live much longrr in
the open air, and the doctor was Rad
that his patient would depart this life.
At last, however, he thought of an
idea, and had II carried out. The
sharks tank was situated underground,
and the doctor ordered IT to be made
as water tight as possible. and then
filled several feet deep with water. and.
finally, suitable tackle was procured for
getting the shark back to its old home.

II you have a pet dog n that dog
has the misfortune to have one of its
eyes knocked out during a canine COM
bat, you can have the missing optic re-
placed by a glass one. Artificial eyes
for dogs and other animals are as COM
mon as wooden legs. and. though they
have 10 be made TO order, there are
several opticians in the metropolis who
will procure and fit them at short no
tice. An eye for a dog costs from one
10 three pounds.
A dog doctor on the Continent re-
Gently stated that no fewer than 200
dogs were fitted by him with glass eyes
last year.
Several lions and tigers have been
supplied with glass eyes during recent
years, and IL will be remembered that
when Messrs. Bostock's menagerie was
at the Earl's Court exhibition last year
a full-grown lion that lost ar eve dur-
ing a night was supplied with an artih-
cial optic.
Many valuable horses have been sup
piled with glass eyes. and only recently
an American race horse had one made
TO At first it did not appre-
ciate the false eye, and tried TO knock
II out by rubbing its head against the
wall Of It's stall. II now rests content
ed, however, and is perhaps the only
thoroughbred adorned with a glass eye.
Tooth Troubles.
OF all animals horses seem most prone
to tooth troubles. and the bSrse dentist
is now quite common in mis- country
and In America A dentist in New York
makes IN income Of over $1,000 a year
by fitting horses, dogs, and cats with
false teeth.
A little while ago a society lady in
London had her valuable pug dog. which
had gained many prizes al shows, fitted
with a full set OF artificial teeth at a
cost Of G25.
