phonso's mother, formerly queen re-

smoking. On Russian railways it is

Queen Victoria, who detested tobac-
co and banished it from her abodes
a present of pipes and tobaccos. She
had sent to the king of Dahomey a
basket tent, silver pipe and two
silver trays. That dusky old reprobate
replied that he hoped the next gifts
would include carriage and pair and
a white woman, both of which he
would appreciate very much; but sent
in return some native pipes and to-
bacco for the queen to smoke.
A curious feature of tobacco man
ners among fashionable smokers of
the Elizabethan period was the prac-
tice of passing the pipe from one to
another, after the fashion of loving
cup. In a play of 1914, one London
gallant says to another who is smok-

However, tobacco had many enc

armies have been numerous. 1t is not

Milton smoked pipe at p. m. every
