VICTORIA HATES TOBACCOo
An Unfortunate Effort to Deceive Her Mn-
jesty in a Play.

Queen Victoria’s intense antipathy to
tobacco is well known. She will never
allow cigar, pipe or cigarette to be
lighted within one" of her palaces, and

' even General Grant, when he visited
the Queen at Windsor, had to do his
smoking in the royal , park. A good
story is told of one occasion when the
younger members of the oeurt gave a
private theatrical performance for the
Queen’s amusement. At the last mo-
ment they remembered with dismay
that one of the characters in the comedy
they had selected was supposed to smoke
a cigarette in one of the scenes. The
smoking had been omitted '81: the re--
lhearsals and no particular thought
given to the requirement of the lines.

The dilemma was painful. At last a
bright young oficer suggested a clever
contrivance whereby shredded cotton
could be blown in the air, so as to imi-
tate smoke, and the necessity of light-
ing the cigarette obviated. The contri-
vance-worked so well that the Queen
did not perceive the deception, and at
once exclaimed to her attendants:

“How dare he light a cigarette in my
presence? Stop the scene at once.” '

"But, Your Majesty,” hastily ex-_
plained one of the attendants, “that is
not really cigarette smoke.”

“Don’t I smell it plainly enough?” re-
torted her irate Majesty. “Oh, the
odor of the horrid thing is sickening.
Stop the scene, I tell you.”

The scene was stopped, and it was
some time before the Queen could be
convinced that she had not smelled ci-
garette smoke. When she realized the
truth, however, she was angrier than
ever at having been entrapped by the
deception, and the amateur histrions
suffered heavily from the royal dis-
pleasure.

WOMEN IN TROUSERS.
'In France They Have to Pay High for the
Privilege.

For the privilege of wearing trousers
the French Government charges wome’n
a‘taxaof from £2'to £2 10s. a year. This
by no means gives every woman Who
is willing to pay the tax a right to wear
trousers. The Government instead con-
fers the right as a tribute to great
merit. Trousers are, in fact, a sort of
decoration given to women as the rib.
bon of the Legion of Honor is given
to men. The only women to whom has
been granted the. right tojwear trousers
are George Sand, Rosa- Bonheur, Mme.

I Lieulafoy, the Persian garchaeologist;
Mme. Fousault, ,the bearded woman,
and two feminine stone-cutters, Mme.
Fourreau and La Jeannette.

' One Benefit of Stamp Collectors.

Stamp collectors are a source of con-
siderable revenue to many countries.
New Zealand recently issued a letter
card with scenic designs, and so great
was the demand from collectors that.
the supply was soon exhausted. The
authorities then changed the color of
the card, and the demand for the dif-
ferent color was almost as great as it
had been for the original series. In
seven months nearly .400. 000 cards were
bought by the hobbyists. bringing the
colonya clear profit of considerably
over $10,000.

DON’TS FOR DEBUTANTES.
Rules for Those Who Han Just Entered
Society.

It is a good thing to have some rules
with which to work out life’s problem,
and here are some that have been picked
up and tested by a contributor to the
Washington Star and found to be good-

Always take it for granted that every
one means well by you, unless you have
proof to the contrary. The average
person in society has a good natured, or
at least a cynical, sort of tolerance for
you. Very few actually hate you, or
want to spite you. When you find out
that there is some one who does, don’t
discuss it or quarrel about it if it can be
avoided. Just drop the person from
your life as completely as possible, and
above all, never descend to abuse him or
her. It will hurt you worse than it
will your enemy. Never treasure up a
grievance; it will grow out of all pro-
portion with nursing.

Don’t snub other women and girls just
because there is a man around. This is
the most flagrant fault of a girl who has
not learned relative values. The man
will not like you any better for ignor-
ing a girl friend and earnestly devoting
yourself to him. A great many debu-
tantes think their success depends upon
the’men. It is a sad mistake. It is the
married women and your girl comrades
who can give you a good time, or not,
in the end. Very few women dislike
you because of your successes; it is be-
cause of your flaunting them.

Never ignore older and married men.
They will not forgive it, and they wield
a mighty power.

Don’t wonder what construction will
be put on everything you say, the way
you hold your head and the way you
laugh. ' .

Don’t wonder what people are think-
ing of your pose and your gown and
your hands and the posit-ion of your
feet. Ten to one they don’t even set
you. and if they do, they are not both-
ering their heads about you. This is
not kind, but is eminently true. A
very young girl’s worst fault is her
self consciousness. It may be the con
sciousness of her shortcomings, but that
is even more Vexing than an apprecia-
tion of her virtues.’

Don’t be wondering what you will
say next. A pause is nothing deadly, if
you do not make it so. Probably by
the time you’ve finished saying what you
have in mind a new,,topic will be sug-
gested. Trying to say something—any-
thing—to fill in a hiatus is the most po-
tent cause of that mistake commonly
known as putting your foot ,in it.

Don’t frequent teteAa-tete corners.
Only experienced and also much older
girls can do that with'impunity. _,

"Don’t giggle; but, on the other hand.
don’t look as if you were at a wedding
or a funeral. ,

Use your eyes to say what it doesn’t
happen to be practicable to say with
your tongue.

If you happen to be left stranded for
one dance, never sit all alone on one
side of the wall, to be pitied. Get up
and go over to some group of matrons,
and don’t fancy that the whole room is
watching your transit. It is much too
busy talking and dancing. Here again
don’t think of yourself. There is noth-
ing so wretched as a would-be indiffer
ent wallflovi'er. She can’t possibly look
as though she liked it, and there is not
the least use in trying to smile it off.

Above all things never discuss an af-
fair where you were a failure. Never
admit that you were a failure. Keep
quiet about it if you can’t enthuse. It
doesn’t do to explain the causes.

SIBERIAN WEDDING TRIP.
Two Young Society People W’ho Propose
Going Far North.

The preposcd wedding journey of two
young persons who are to be married
next month is exceptional enough in the
scope to attract attention even in these
days, when trips of this sort are more
or less unconventional in plan, and the
old jokes about the bridal couples at

- Niagara Falls have lost their point, says

the New York Sun. This particular
couple propose to go to J apan. which is
already a favorite country for young
married people to visit, and the unusual
part of their plan is .their contemplated
sojourn for a long period in Siberia.

They expect to stay in Siberia for
nearly a year, and the bridegroom-elect,
who is something of a politician, ex-
pects to learn enough about thesocial
and political conditions there to write
a book about the country, when he
comes back. When the guests at wed-
ding receptions begin to throw rice and
old shoes at couples who have their
faces turned toward such remote points
as Siberia, the business takes on a more
serious aspect. ‘

Wedding journeys in buggies through
the Berkshire Hills, bicycle trips, and
even the cruise of six menths in the
Pacific Ocean, which was undertaken
by a young couple two years ago, all
seem tame and commonplace enough
compared with the prospect of a long
stay in Siberia, devoted to a study of
the Russian criminal system. Last
Spring a young married couple made
a journey to Alaska, but their enter-
prise seems to be surpassed by the Si
beria project.

Austrian “’heelmen Are Examined.

In Vienna, Austria, all bicycle riders
before obtaining permission to ride on
the public streets are required to pass
an examination. They are required to
ride between boards laid on the floor
Without touching the sides or edges of
them. At the word of command they
must be able to dismount either right,
left, or backward; until the rider passes
this examination satisfactorily a license
to ride on the‘public highway is refused
him. ,

ABUSING BREAD.
HERBERT WILLIAM HART’S ATTACK
ON THE STAFF OF LIFE.

He Says White Bread is 8. Danger t6 6......
ization. Bread He'form Impel‘ativcly

Demanded. The Apostles, Shakespeare
' and the Ancients Ate Whole W’heat.

Mr. Herbert William Hart asserts
that white bread is an injurious food.
Mr. Hart is an Englishman, and is well
known throughout ‘England as an ad-
vocate ef dietetic reform. He has had
a wide and -varied experience in various
quarters of the globe. He is a sur-
vivor of the Crimean war, and asserts
that he was the original inventor of the
coil system of constructing heavy ord-
nance, which led to the adoption of the
Armstrong gun.

He has for thirty years, he says.
studied the food question in all its "as-
poets, and declares that he has made
important discoveries in relation to food
and diet, which, if followed out, will
be 'of great and lasting benefit‘ to hu.
manity. ' “

His researches have mainly been on
the line of what he terms the “bread
questio’n.” There is, he says, “no ques-
tion of social economics as important as
that of bread reform,” and. he adds,
“that applies particularly to the United
States.”

In showing the important (relation 01'
food reform to the health and well'be
ing of all civilized communities, he
quotes from Brillat—Savarin, who said:
“The destinies of nations depends on
the manner in which they feed them.
Selves.”

He launches out the startling an-
nouncement that “the scourge of all
civilized countries is white bread.”

Mr. Hart said that while traveling in
Asia Minor forty years ago he first be-
came interested in the food question.
He said that the principal evil which
civilized communities. have to deal with
is white bread. He was a miserable
dyspeptic forty years ago. he said, but
has not had since that time a day’s ill-
ness.

“1 hold that the universal prevalence
of financial depression in all civilized
communities, and particularly as re-
gards America, can be traced to the
physical and mentaldepression caused
by overwork,,wcrry and undue excite-
ment, resulting primarily and chiefly
from imperfect nourishment of the
brain and bodily functions, through the
almost universal use of imperfectly
constituted food, which is fatally in-

capable of nourishing and sustaining.

the brain under severe pressure.

“If further proof were needed' for
these conclusions of the general bank-
ruptcy of the people, look at the thin,
pale, careworn faces, the small necks—
out of all proportion—the flat chests,
the pinched up and ill-developed bodies
and leg:- met with not only in the
streets of New York, Boston and Phila-
delphia. but in all parts of America.

- “I will go so far as, to predict that un-
lessthere is a revolution in the bread
eating custom of this country the phy-
sical and mental condition of the people
will get worse, and the children that
are brought into the, world will be in-
terior in type, weight and physique, by
reason of the deficiency of lime and
silex in the food, which are absolutely
essential to the normal growth of the
benes, skulls and teeth of the rising gen-
oration.

"If “people are to be rendered healthy,
first of all they must eat bread made
from the whole grain of Wheat, the
same as was eaten by the Apostles and
which chiefly sustained them in their

arduous work—the only kind that was

capable of sustaining their bodies and
their brains in their task of impressing
the multitudes of the truthfulness of
their righteous cause.

' “Bread made from the whole wheat
was the kind of bread eaten by the an-
cient Romans Greeks, Gauls and Brit
0115. Without this kind of bread the
greatest men that have ever lived before
or since the Christian era could not
have accomplished what they did.

“The proper kind of bread should con-
tain all the properties of the wheat, in-
cluding the lime, iron and silex abso-
lutely necessary to make pure, healthy
food, and for want of which the Amer-
ican people employ thousands of dent-
ists to supply imperfect teeth, which
would grow to perfection if nature were
not handicapped by the ignorance of the
natural laws of dietetics.

“The great poet Shakespeare ate the

whole meal. bread, for it is put on rec-.

0rd by himself that be dead to take the
wheat grain to Lucy’s mill to be ground
for family use, and it would be well for
the civilized communities of the world
that all families discard at once and for
ever the sophisticated and adulterated
white, spongy starch, so called bread of
the present generation, and partake of
only that kind on which the great na-

' tions of the world chiefly relied for their

strength, and which produced the best
architects, poets, artists and generals,
the strongest and most handsome men,
and the most beautiful and accom-
plished women.”

- A Savage Warrior’s Battle Are.

In felling an immense elm near By-
ron, Mich., a few days ago, the wood-
cutters struck their saw against a hard
substance when almost half way through
the trunk of the 'tree. The tree was
laid open with an axe, and there was
found, grown up almost in the heart of
it, a stone battle axe head about 7'1-2
inches long and 5 inches across at the
co tting end; the other end tapered to a
point. The axe head was sticking in
the tree at right angles to the grain and
must have been left there many years
ago by some savage warrior.
