contains some rules about tobacco
smoking which now seem very Curl
GUS to US in this day and age. The
book. THE Habits of Good Society,""
was published in London in 1862.
one of the paragraphs is as fol-
! lows: Il am inclined to think that
| smoking has conduced to make the
society of most men alone less riot
Gus, less quarrelsome and even less
vicious than it was. The pipe is a
powerful rival to wife or maid and no
wonder that at last thee woman sue
cumbs. consents and rather than lose
| her lord or master even supplies the
mated herb with her own fair hands
| And this is what women have come to
DO on the Continent, but in America
they have gone further and admitted
the rival to their very drawing rooms
where the unmanly husband stretches
! his legs on the sofa and smokes and
spits on the carpet. Far be it from
our English women to permit such
| habits and yet as things are a little
concession is prudent
| AS 1t is there are rules to limit
| TINS indulgence One must never
smoke nor even ask to smoke in the
company of the fair. One must never
smoke in the streets in daylight. The
| deadly crime may be committed like
| burglary after dark but not before
one must never smoke in a room in
| habited at times by the ladies, thus
a well bred man who has a wife or
| sisters will not offer to smoke in the
| dining room after dinner One must
| never smoke in public place, for
| instance flower shop OF promenade
| One may smoke in the railway car
| rIages in spite of bylaws if one has
obtained the consent of everyone pres
ent but if there be lady there, tho
| she give her consent smoke not In
| nine cases out of ten she will give it
from good nature. One must never
smoke in a closed carriage. One may
ask leave to smoke when returning
from picnic or expedition in an open
| carriage. One must never smoke in a
theater, on race course nor in
| church. One must never smoke a
pipe in the streets. One must never
smoke at all inethe coffee room of
hotel One must never smoke with
| out consent in the presence of a
! clergyman and one must never offer
a cigar to any ecclesiastic over the
rank of curate. But if one smokes
and is in the presence of ladies after
wards you must change your clothes
to smoke in. A host who asks you to
smoke will generally offer you an old
| coat for the purpose. You must also
after smoking rinse the mouth we'll
out, and if possible brush your teeth.
You should always smoke a cigar
given to you whether good or bad
and never make any remarks on its
quality
AN ABSENT MINDED
Topekan who sometimes eats his
| breakfast downtown that his wife
might be aroused by the canary
stumbled into a restaurant the other
| morning and sat beside another To-
pekan who makes a habit of the
perch meal" Sleepily he asked the
| habitue what was good. AS he poked
! his fists in his eyes the cakes and"
| arrived and were laid majestically be-
| fore him. The old timer watched the
a M T. as he prepared his wheats.
When it came time for the syrup the
occasionally breakftster emptied most
| of the tea pot ordered by his compan-
ion on the steaming cakes. Hungrily
| he forked a portion into his mouth.
| He squinted in thought as his palate
took hold Then he tried the second
section. Again he posed in cues
| tionable mental debate. After the
| third fnouthful he turned to the vet
