The number Of smoking rooms now
distributed over Windsor castle would

more than tolerate the weed In any
form, and the smoking room was al
ways relegated to very distant part
of her various residences Nor were
the guests permitted to solace them
selves with a quiet smoke in their own
apartments, as on their arrival they
we're specially warned not to do so.

prevail Of the habit that when she first
proposed to visit Sandringham after
King Edward. who did not share his
royal mothers objection to tobacco. to
say the least of it, had practically re

was felt as to what she would say tc
the number of smoking rooms. At las
some one hit upon the plan of labelling

ceeded admirably in dlspelling her maj
estys suspicions.-Pall Mall Gazette.

BURNED BY COLD.
LIQUID Air Will Produce Worse
Wound Than Intense Heat.

Wound Than Intense Heat.
Whoever has applied moistened
finger to a piece Of frosty metal IN
winter we'll remembers the painful ex-
perience thereby gained of the fact
that cold as we'll as heat can blister
the skin.
During some experiments in the pro-
duction of excessively low tempera-
lures Pictet, the French investigator,
burned himself with cold several times.
and the effects were so remarkable that
he deemed them worthy of description
to a body Of scientific men.
1t appears that there are two kinds
or degrees of cold burn. In the case
of the less severe ''burns" the skin at
first turns red, but becomes blue the
next day. The inflamed spot swells'
and a period varying from month to
six weeks elapses before the wound
heals.
When the contact with the cold sub
stance is longer and more complete a
burn of the second degree is produced
A malignant and stubborn wound is
formed and the process of healing is
very slow.
A drop Of liquid air falling on Pic
tets hand produced cold burn which
did not completely heal in six months
while a scorch from heat accidentally
inflicted on the same hand and nearly
at the same time was healed in ten Of
twelve days.-Harper's Weekly

SAVED HIS CABLE TOLLS.
A Glover Ruse at Home Gave Him tho
Information He Wanted.

a wealthy merchant In Paris who
does an extensive business with Japan
was informed that prominent firm In
Yokohama had failed, but the name of
the firm he could not learn. He could
have learned the truth by cabling; but,
to save expense, instead he went to a
well known banker who had received
the news and requested him to reveal
the name of the firm.
"That's a very delicate thing to do"
replied the banker, ''for the news is
not official, and If gave you the name
l might incur some responsibility"
The merchant argued, but in vain,
and finally he made this proposition:
II will give you" he said, "a list Of
ten firms in Yokohama, and 1 will ask
you to look through 1t and then tell me,
without mentioning any name, wheth-
err or not the name Of the firm which
has failed appears in II. Surely you
will do that for me-"
YES" said the banker, "for if l do
not mention any name l cannot be held
responsible In any way"
The list was made. The banker looked
through it and as he handed it back to
the merchant said, "The name of the
merchant who has failed Is there"
"Then I've lost heavily" replied the
merchant, "for that is the firm with
which 1 did business" showing him q
name on the list.
"But how do you know that is the
firm which has failed?" asked the bank
er In surprise.
Every easily" replied the merchant
"Of the ten names on the list only ont
is genuine, that of the firm with which
| did business. All the others are tc
titious."

THE HUMAN FACTORY.

A human being is a kind Of factory.
The engine and the works and all the
various machines are kept in the base
mept, and he sends down orders to
them from time to time, and they do
the work which has been conceived up
in headquarters. He expects the works
down below to keep on doing these
things without his taking any particu-
lar notice of them, while he occupies his
mind, as the competent head of fac
tory should, with the things that are
new and different and special and
that his mind alone can do; the things
which, at least in their present initial
formative or creative stage, no ma
chimes as yet have been developed IT,
do and which can only be worked out
by the man up in the headquarters
himself, personally, by the handiwork
of his own thought.

the more delicate, sensitive, strong and
