A cable dispatch recently reported
that Queen Mary of England hao

ciousness.
It seems that the old nobleman' s
mother was an energetic opponent OF
tobacco using in any form in any
place. and by men of any condition.
The late King Edward one time visit

the old noblewoman had cigarettes

Why did the plague disappear from

corded cases of plague. in England
occurred at Nottingham in 1867. In
that year plague vanished utterly from
England for two and half centuries.

day night each subscriber to the CO
operative company will be assessed
for the cost of constructing the main
telephone lines. 1t is figured that
such construction will cost about $50
per mile, and that in a section as
uhickly populated as this valley, the
assessment per subscriber will not ex-
coed $500. Each member will also
stand the expense of connecting with
the main line and the cost OF his own
telephone instrument After this in
itial expense, or investment as some
regard it, a monthly fee of from IS
cents to 50 cents per subscriber is
said to be sufficient to cover main

pressed with unceasing vigor day and

What results have been obtained
from the work could not be ascer-

discoveries of startling nature have
been made, and that the investiga-
