It will be news to most people that
there Is here in England tavern
where smoking IL prohibited. The
house Is situated In Artillery row,
not stones throw from Liverpool
street station. and 1t is remarkable
how few Londoners know Of London's
only smokeless tavern. 1t was estab-
lished in 1852. The stranger who en-
tiers its doors is promptly served with
pamphlet In which is set forth tho
curious rules by which the establish
ment Is bound. Rule ono puts up
the bar against him who has drunk
unwisely and too we'll. Rule 2. No
person or party OF persons can be
served under any circumstances more
than once, the rule being that he. she
or they las tho case may be) must
have left the house at least half an
hour before either are entitled to b
served again. ''-London Mxu.

There are some very funny things
in q big store besides the things the
girls say about the floor walker or the
ian.ies the -!hhon-connter boys have
about the personalities of buyers and
heads Of departments.
For instance. The other day q small
lad. with an unmistakable stamp Of
the country, was trailing his mother
along through q big store. He was
hanging back. and she was pulling.
The boy never had been in big store
and the place was full Of many won
ders.
All of sudden his pulling and lag.
ging became stubborn and pro-
nounced utter stoppage.
Come on, Willie" said the mother.
"Aw, nav. wait" begged the boy.
NO" protested his mother. What's
the matter with you?'

apply a little resinol ointment very

to find how quickly the healing resinol

pores, removes pimples and blackheads,
and leaves the complexion clear and
velvety.
Resinol ointment and resinol soap

Observation-Disclosures Caperton, in
command of the American ships on the
east coast Of Mexico, has requested the
navy department to send all available
ships Immediately to Vera Cruz.
Admiral Caperton intimated, one Of
fetal says, that serious trouble might
be precipitated if the famine conditions
were not removed AS Admiral Caper-
ton is at Vera Cruz, where there is
considerable number of American citl-
zens and other foreign residents, it is
understood by some of the navy Off
Gals that he intended to suggest to the
department also the strengthening OF
the naval forces at or near Vera Cruz.
This view Of Caperton's dispatch was
evidently not taken by the higher Off
ciais OF the navy department. One OF
them said that the dispatch referred
only to the food situation and prob
able trouble that might grow out Of it."
