INTO insignificance in contrast to
the aggregate records of smok-
ing. The United Kingdom takes
a very low place in the national
smoking list. The Belgian, for
example, smokes more than three
times rs much as the Briton {;
for every pound of tobacco
consumed in Great Britain and
Ireland the German smokes one
and three-quarter pounds, the
Austrian one and a half pounds
and the American two and three
quarter pounds. And yet John
Bull ; devotion to Sublime to-
baccc, which from East to West,
cheers the tar's labor or the.
Turkman's rest" is positively
startling when reduced to fig
ures. Thus it is estimated that
a pipe large enough to hold his
annual supply of his favorite
wee would have a bowl $50 feet
in diameter-large enough to
hold the entire population of
Liverpool ard would rise seven
ty feet higher than the London
Monument.
The tobacco in it would re-
quire for IT'S transport a train
of wagons long enough to reach
from Waterloo to Richmond, and
to pay for it would call for a
check of at least $4,000, 900
as much gold as two reg
iments of soldiers would find a
difficulty in carrying. Toward
this colossal consumption it is
said that the Bristol district
alone contributes sufficient ma
chine made cigarettes every
month to girdle the earth at the
equator.
AS for the worlds consumption
the figures are indeed stagger-
ing. A modest estimate places
it At 1000, 900, 900 pounds, a
weight sufficient to allow a dis
tribution of one and a quarter
pounds to every man, woman
and child now living on the
eartn.-New York Sun.

EVOLUTION.

The law of evolution is either uni
versal or it does not exist. The we'll
known generalization of Spencer,
that things do not drift" but "pro-
ceed," is as i~nseparable, if evolution
is true, from the development of the
most magnificent commonwealth as
from the lowest animal cell known
to the biologist. Whether we find
the law or not, it is there-iust as
the rolling planets of the universe
held their positions in the great
spaces ages and ages before Newton
discovered the law of gravitation.
You are wholly wrong in thinking
that the feeling in evolution is de-
structive Of theism. Some evolution
lists have been firm believers in an
o~verruling God.

When a person has become dis
couraged through years of failure to
find a cure, and finally, perhaps, gives
up trying, it is small wonder that he
becomes skeptical. And yet, to all
who have constipation, we would say,
TRY just one thing more"
We wish you would try DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsln, a laxative tonic
that has been used for a generation.
Thousands are using it; surely some
of your friends among the number.
You can buy it of any druggist at
fifty cents and one dollar a bottle, but
better still, send your name and adj
dress to DR.. Caldwell for a free sam
pie bottle. He will send you enough
to convince you of its merits, and
then if you like it you can buy it of
your druggist. Mr.. J. ]. Petty of I'm

co weekly. 1t requires no
skill in arithmetic to discover
that the Dutch chimney" as
he is proud to be known, has
dissipated in smoke more than
thirty hundred weights of to-
bacco, which is almost exactly
twenty-four times his own
weight.
Equally remarkable are the
feats of rapid smoking, which
however, have little to commend
them in the way of enjoyment.
1t is to America that we must go
to find the world champion
cigarette smoker" a hardy Pole,
who for a wager once reduced
thirty-two cigarettes to ashes be-
fore the minute hand had com
plet d the circuit of the clock.
On another occasion he perform
ed a feat even more remarkable
IN sn oking a round hundred Gig
aret+es in ten minutes under four
hours. "And now" the insa-
TABLE man exclaimed as he flung
away the last stump, "I think
| will have a cigar"
For a wager of 1000 francs
a French cabman called Chataig-
non recently undertook to smoke
100 strong cigars in two days.
In the first t~wenty-four hours he
had disposed Of sixty-six and af-
ter a two hours rest continued
his task with such vigor that by
nooa on the following day the
stump of his last cigar was burn
ing lis lips.
Less stimulating, perhaps, are
feats of slow smoking, of which
London has witnessed not a few
in recent years. But it is to
the old city of Bruges that we
must go to see the dilatory art
at its best. Every evening the
Brugsche Rookersclub (the smok-
ing club Of Bruges) has its con
tests in which the members vie
with each other in an effort to
smoke the smallest quantity of
tobacco in the longest possible
tina.
The steward weighs out for
each competitor two and a half
grammes of tobacco, which the
vice-president packs carefully in
to the rival pipes. AT a signal
all pipes are lit and the contest
begins, each mans object being
to keep the fire in his bowl
alight the longest. AS pipe af-
ter pipe gives out the contest be-
comes more and more interesting
and the excitement reaches its
when only two COMPETE
tors are left. SO expert have
the members of the Rookersclub
become that it is quite a usual
to keep alive the flame in
two and a half grammes of to-
bacco for an hour and a half.
But such individual feats pale

SMOKED HALF
MILLION CIGARS
A Germans Record-Consump
tion of Tobacco in Different
Counties.

OOuHblSS.
Herr Stark the German mis-.
ogynlst, died in Berlin a few
years ago, Proud to the last OF
his reputation as a deyotee OF
"my Lady Nicotine. During
my long lifetime" he wrote
shortly before he smoked his last
Havana, according to Tit-Bits,
Il estimate that | have smoked
over half a million cigars, an
average Of more than twenty
two :laily fcr sixty years. | have
thus enjoyed 10000 hours of
such happiness as nothing else
could ever have given me and
which was wen worth the 5000
frame that purchased it. My eli
gars have been the one solace
and sweetener Of my life, and
my only regret in leaving it is
that | cannot bring my record
up to a million"
And even this amazing feat
was quite thrown into eclipse
by the achievement of Herr
Nanas, an Austrian, whose rec
ord 1erges on the incredible.
From the age Of q Herr Nanas
kept an exact account of all he
bought and what he paid for it.
Thus his account book shows that
In twenty-seven years (from q
to 81 he consumed 28,786 glasses
of beer-quite a modest average
of less than three glasses a day.
From his fifty-fourth birthday
he abandoned his beer, but con
trived to smoke more and more
furiously until when he died in
his seventy-third year he had
consumed exactly 62S ,713 cigars.
Of the whole number, it is said,
1880 were given to him; on
the lest he had spent the equiv
alent of $500 francs or rough
ly a penny apiece.
Assuming that each cigar was
only four inches long (they were
probably much longer), Her
Nanas must thus have reduced
to ashes an aggregate cigar little
less than forty miles in length
and must have spent nearly
thirty-six years of his life in
the process. AS these two cham
pions died at the ages of so and
72 respectively it seems clear
that excessive cigar smoking is
not necessarily a shortener Of
life.
Among pipe smokes the palm
must be awarded to a Dutch
sailo' named Berken, whose
boast it is that for the last
sixty-five years his voracious
bowl has consumed the English
equivalent Of a pound of tobac-
