SOME GREAT SMOKERS. NUMBER OF FAMOUS PEOPLE WHO ENJOYED A SMOKE. A devotion to the joys of nicotine Would seem to be a. distinguishing ieature of many of the World’s greatest men, if we may judge by file large number of famous people who have admitted their sincere atâ€" tachment. to the pleasures of the weed. Charles Spurgeon Loved the Weed â€"King Edward Is a. Great Smoker Likewise. Illn Plight on 3 Recent Occasion In the Marlnme Provincesâ€"flow Dodd's Ind- ney l'llls ('nmc to Ills Ilelpâ€"lllgh Words of Praise for Illa: Remedy. Toronto, June 17, (Special).â€"Mr. J. H. Ireland, the Well-known traâ€" veller for hats and caps, left for the Maritime Provinces one day last week. Handin packed in Mr. Ire- land’s private grip was a box of Dodd’s Kidney Pills, the medicine famous throughout Canada as a spe- ‘cific for all troubles of the kidneys. iWhen asked about his experience ,With this remedy Mr. Ireland grew _quite enthusiastic. The late Charles Spurgeon Was an enthusiastic smoker, and braved a. considerable amount of popular disâ€" approval rather than abandon his daily \vhifl‘. On one occasion he ac- tually made a reference to his cigarâ€" smoking habits in the course of a sermon, vindicating the absolute propriety of a minister of religion following this practice if he felt dis- posed. H. M. the King is, and always has been, a. devotee of the weed, and in this example he is followed by near- ly all the Continental Sovereigns. President McKinley of the United A COMMERCIAL TBAVELLEB’S STORY Interview with Mr. J - H. Ireland. one of the Old Time Knights of the Grip. IV "I never go out on a. trip of any length Without a box of Dodd’s Kid- ney Pills,” he asserted. : “Are you afflicted with kidney trouble a great. deal then,” Mr. Ire- land was asked. The famous writer, Thomas Car- lyle, was rarely seen without. a clay pipc between his teeth, and one of his most, famous literary panegyrics is devoted to the delights of "Lady Nicotine." Victor Hugo was also a passionate lover of tobacco, and paid fabulous prices for his cigars.

But in the Win- ter of ninety-eight I was, I can tell you. I was down in Nova Scotia when I first used Dodd’s Kidney Pills. I don't know whether it was the Water down there, the Climate, riding so much in the train or what, but certainly my kidneys were on the point of a complete breakâ€"down. Baclmclie! It Was one continual misery.

"The first, dose of Dodd’s Kidney Pills seemed to go right, to the spot. In' a. few days I was feeling as well as ever I did in my life. They are a splendid medicine. I have recommended Dodd's Kidney Pills to scores of men on the road like myself and none of them but have the .Warmest praise for the medicine being just. exactly what we need in our walk of life, a. safe reliable strengthening stimulant, for the kidneys.” States is said to be one of the best judges of cigars in the Union, though he does not. indulge in smoking to any great extent. $92fi§§fi§ forms Teefih and fireath 25° At all Stores. ar by Mail for the Price.

Wounded soldier who cast longing eyes at the precious weed. His great contemporary, General Moltke, was equally devoted to smoking joys, and was rarely seen without a. huge cigar between his firm lips. ents tary Both Charles Dickens and William Thackeray loved a good cigar, though curiously enough the former rarely refers to the smoking habit in his fictions with any degree of en- thusiasm; but Lord Lytton, the faâ€" mous contemporary of the two afore- said writers, not only revelled in the making of smoke, but glorified the process in various portions of HIS VOLUMINOUS WORKS. Thomas Alva. Edison smokes, to use a popular silnile, "like a funnel," and has often been known to conâ€" sume a. dozen cigars in the course of a Working day. When pondering the details of a novel invention he conâ€" fesses that he is greatly aided in the process by the presence of a. fragrant weed, and there are few brainâ€" workers who do not find their Wits stimulated by such extraneous aid. Professor Huxley stated in the course of a lecture that he consider- ed tobacco "a sweetener and equalâ€" izer of the temper," and be supportâ€" ed his theory by consuming vast quantities of the same on all occaâ€" sions. Charles Lamb, the delightful essayist, held a similar opinion, and he Was once heard to express the wish that "his last breath might be drawn through a. pipe and exhaled in a. pun.” Likes Short Dinners and~ Not Over- Much Display. It was to the Prince of Wales that modern society owes its happy loss of the sombre and dull dinner-party that used to be so prevalent. Though everyone disliked the long and weari- snme feast, and felt excessively heavy and ill after it, yet no one had the courage to give it. up, because it was supposed to be a. sign of good breedâ€" ing and high life generally. But the Prince had the fact made known that he detested parade of this kind, and would only endure a dinner of a few courses exquisitely cooked. Thus at all really smart parties now the menu is a short. one, and the viands are not. heavy but easily digestible. Cigars are given to soldiers in the Italian army as part of their daily rations. On the other hand, there are many famous people Who View all forms of tobacco with undeniable aversion. Napoleon the Great was one of this class, and after making an heroic atâ€" tempt to smoke a pipe in his early manhood, he abandoned the business with alacrity and never smoked again. The celebrated Dr. Abernethy hatâ€" ed nicotine with fervent hatred, and on being asked if tobacco injured the brain, replied testin that the quesâ€" tion was a vain one, seeing that noâ€" body possessed of brains would conâ€" template smoking for an instant. Equally Mr. Algernon Swinburne, the famous poet, is an enemy of the weed, and cannot remain in a. room where the odor of tobacco has peneâ€" trated. Another of the King’s fancies is a. hatred of the long row of knives and forks some people like to place in front; of each diner. He refuses to have the Whole plate basket laid out on the table, and has a single fork and knife placed'for his own use with each dish that is handed; a. fashion that prevails also in the best hotels and restaurants.

The Wheels of the engine crushed the ants, and thus greased the rails so that no purchase could be obtained. The sand put out from the engine failed to produce the usâ€" ual result.

The Bishop of London's salary is £10,000 year, and the rates. taxes, insurance, and maintenance of his two large residences can scarcely be less than 15 per cent. on that sum, so that his income is at. once reduced to £8,500. Few probably realize the expense of a Bishop in the first year. Fees, payments for the furniture of the palace, and a variety of other costs and charges leave a comparatively small margin for other expenses. The late Bishop Vil-liers was nearly ruined by What was deemed extraordinary good for- tune.
