The Cz1rind Does Not Smoke

N country where most fashionable are
accustomed to smoking cigarettes the fact that the
czarina of Russia is not addicted to the habit is
matter OF much regret to her court ladies'
Not only does the empress refrain from smoking
herself but at time she issued edict that ladies
were not expected to smoke while in attendance on
the royal presence, nor even in the anteroom.
This was received with CONSERVATION by many of
the court ladies' who thus compelled to deprive
themselves of their favorite solace for what

weed. They like naughty schoolboys forever

has wandered from port to port in the British isles

enough to cross the Atlantic doubts, for the
teak hull is harder than oak from the curing
process of than century, and if the ship comes
to this country its oddly wrought Henry VIII stern,
with square windows and great freeboard, IS certain
to attract all lovers of old fashioned ships.

in the convict days of yore More than that it will

Deserted thus perhaps the old ship not so

which happened to be the government of Victoria,
Australia Jas were scarce in the dggings, and the

and bullets better and quicker than words. So
the old Success bought by the colonial govern
ment and fitted with cells from keel to deck. Sew
enty-two of them were built into the ship with
accommodations fer 120 convicts. The galley was
shifted from amidships to the forecastle head and
fanked either side by sinister sentry box whence,
from day to day, violent guests might be conveniently
picked off.
Besides these precautions y warders were in

error erected connecting the upper and lower decks
for prisoners able to make use of them

Most of the cells were devoid of light no provision
of any sort being made for it. In these caves many
prisoners lost their sight forever. After months,

The silks Of samarkand.

The silks and yelvets of Samarkand.
long famous for the rainbow blending
of their colors. have season,, exactly
like fruits or garden truck, and can only
be purchased at that particular time
of the year. When the worms are
ready for spinning they are all brought
to the silk bazaar and sold. The silk is
then spun and dyed, and all that is not
used in the makers family is exported
in the form of cloth. Thus. unless you
happen to be in Samarkand during the
season. it is all but impossible TO find
any of the native silk for sale except
in the form of ready made khalats,
