press Elizabeth OF Austria, King Al
phOnsos mother. formerly queen re-
gent Of Spain; the Dowager Queen
Margherita OF Italy. and former Queen
Amelia OF Portugal. II is, OF course,
well known that Austrian and Russian
women generally are fond OF cigarette
smoking. On Russian railways it is
not unusual TO find compartment Ia
beled: For women who do not
smoke
Queen Victoria. who detested tObac.
co and banished il from her abOdes
as far as she could. once received
a present OF pipes and tobaccos. She
had sent to the king Of Dahomey
basket tent, silver pipe and two
silver trays. That dusky Old rep-obate
replied that he hoped the next gifts
would include a carriage and pair and
white woman. both of which he
would appreciate very much; but sent
in return some native pipes and to-
hacro for the queen to smoke.
4 curious feature of tobacco man.
nefs among fashionable smokers Of
the Elizabethan period was the prsc-
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-
ing: Please you to impart your
smoke" Very willingly. sir" says
| the smoker. Number two takes
Whit or so and courteously says: In
| good faith. pipe of excellent yapor!
The rich young swell carried about
with him an elaborate tobacco ap-
/ Paratus, often Of gold or silver It in
cluded a tobacco box, tOngs with
which to lift live coal to light his
pipe a ladle for the cold shuttle into
/ the nosthrill," a priming iron and as
/ large a collection Of pipes as his
means could afford and his pockets
I corld find room for. Sometimes the
| tobacco box was of ivory, and oc-
/ cSsionally a looking glass was set in
| t1e lid, so that when the beau opened
/ It to take out tobacco, he could also
! have a view OF his delectable person.
! However, tobacco had many enc
I mics. and Of these the most Influential
was Queen Elizabeth's successor,
James /, author Of the famous "Coun-
terblaste to Tobacco" One of his
most restrained GenunCiations Of to
/ bacco drinking" was this: a Gus
tom loathsome to the eye. hateful to
the nose. harmful to the brain. danger
| Gus to the lungs. and in the blacke
! stinking fume thereof, nearest resem-
bling the horrible Stigian smoke Of
the pit that is bottomlesse."
Through the royal example Of James
/ and of his son. Charles |. smoking
/ gradually sank into a decline insofar
/ as il was fashionable practice. which
| continued until well into the last cen
tury. Thence arose the curious fact
/ that the pleasure-lOving cavaliers were
| not smokers, while the Puritans, sour
as was their hatred Of nearly every
| joy. were mighty drinkers of the
weed" The finds of pipes on the sites
! OF the camps of the parliamentary
I armies have been numerous. II is not
I known whether Cromwell smoked: but
| Milton smoked pipe at 9 p. m. every
I day before retiring. However. in some
cases the Puritans contriyed to intro
duce their religion even into pipe
/ smoking. for an old chronicler tells
/ OF a Presbyterian minister so precise
| that he would not so much as take
/ pipe OF tobacco before that he had
first sayed grace over it."

NICkNAMES OF THE WAR

War nicknames ere a curious study.
Probably there rever was a war which
did not give r-se to some comic or
offensive designation for the enemy.

bards" Qongbeards) remain ss iso-

been known since the days of Joan
Of Arc as "godlams." the one epithet
to which our gallant allies have re-
NAMED faithful throughout the cen
turtles. We on our side have chiefly
exercised our wit on the supposed
passion of all Frenchmen for frogs.
The nature Of Q war. indeed. can gen.
orally be traced in war nicknaynes.

There IS nothing opprobrious IN
"Ruski." and something positively ca

nickname for the brave but misguided
Soudanese. "Guppy" suggests good

Church Music.

The real purpose of the hymn tune
has been lost. writes Thomas w. Sur
cite in Atlantic. 1t was intended
to serve the needs of all the people,
and to do this ii must be simple In
both melody and harmony, and within
the range Of every man, woman, and
child in the congregation. The sturdy
old hymns and chorals of our forefa.
theirs were so. Nothing is finer In
church music than good unison sing
ing In which everyone takes part.
No skilled choir singing can ever take
it's place. The decline In hymn sing
ing is evident enough. Save in
churches where a liturgy restraints
the ambitions Of the choir, almost
anything Is possible and even under
that restraint there is continual ten
dency toward display. What Is the Of.
flee of church musice Is 1t to aston
ish or delight the congregation? Is 1t
10 supply them with a sacred concert
or fine singing? TO take their minds
off tho situation in which they find
themselves? To ease the effect OF
dull sermon, or obliterate the ef-
feet of a good one? To draw people
to the church who would not other
wise go? Or IL II to induce devo-
ton and religious feeling, to keep the
moment sacred and without intrusion?
