But it isiu the mountain districts of Kentutky-t-he so called "moonshine area, -t-hat tho most peculiar inhibition I'kced on the tobacco habit. There no woman is allowed to smoke until after marriage, and a recent traveler record the sad case of one fid Ronver, a maiden no-.- ,1) years old, who is still frantically engaged in husband hunting, "not that I ze stuck on tho men, but caze I want ter git some good outeu a pipe 'fore I die." Has it ever occurred to the reader that the Caucasian race is indebted if that word may be used-- to tho so called in-ferior races not only for tobacco but for every other article now in use for stimulating or narcotizing the mental and physical faculties? We have taken tea irom China, coffee from Java and Ceylon, opium from India, alco-hol from the Arabs, (jmuine from .South America and tobacco from the Iudian. In n sense it would thus seem that the weaker and defeated nation has always revenged itself by in-ducing the conqueror to employ ivs" jct drug. Tea and coffee of course are gen-erally held to be beneficial and harmless, and opium and quinine havo a high place as remedial agents, but none of the four can bo used inordinately without relentlessly demanding toll from a weak-ened and disorganized system. It is said of Vikarius' invention that the joint?d pipe with separable tube and mouthpiece "has added considerably to the comfort of smoking and to the protec-tion of smokers from nicotino poisoning. Considering tho vast number of pipe smokers in tho world the discovery of tho German professor is one which al-most entitles him to recognition as a mi-nor benefactor of humanity." Feed. C.

If there is quaint, queer, curious, or in any wy unique occurrence in this or any other country the readers of The World we going to hear of it or Julius Chambers will know the reason why. He in the liveliest managing editor this city of live managing editors can boast. He is said to be the only man in New York who can jump off an elevated railway train, buy a paper and jump on again before the gates are closed. Mr. Chambers' mental and physical dexterity make Min quite snperior to the trauitious of the editor's desk. Not even the reputation of a clever novelist can restrain iix from doing the most arduous of rejwr-tori-duties when he makes up his mind that he can do it better than any meui- - lr of his staff. Besides, the ''Chain-beria- n point of view" in regard to some operations of human passions is occasion" ally so novel that no one else seems able to occupy it, at. which times The World is sure to have a clever story written by the managing editor. Nevertheless Mr. Chamber possesses the valuable editorial faculty of recog-nizing interesting points of view held bv others, and when a reporter demon titrates once or twnee that he can see into the inside of things and tell what ho sees, that reporter becomes one of the stars within tho managerial orbit. But if this recognition of his ability flatters him into indolence his downfall is even swifter than his elevation. If there is anything Managing Editor Chambers positively will not stand it is indolence. Like most collego bred men he is en rapport with all kinds of outdoor sports. Frequently his desk will not be unlocked during the day. While it is gathering terrifying accumulations of correspond-ence, "social copy"' and proof sheets of the morrow's issue, its occupant may be found among the most excited observers at the Brooklyn Handicap, swinging his hat in approval of a three-bas- e hit at tho ball game, or bathing in the surf at Coney Island. Now watch him when he enters in the'evenihg. The night editor wants to see him on three or four very important matters, and one or two spe-cial men want instructions regarding work of great urgency. A prominent lawyer, a politician, a popular preacher and nobody knows how many other people who appreciate the influence wielded by a great newspaper, have been waiting half an hour. The night editor and the sjiecial men get their auswers, one, two, three, while the managerial desk is being unloaded. Thr prominent lawyer and the politician art disposed of in one and one-ha- lf minuter each, and sent about their business with such pleasant tact that they think they leave on their own accord. Tho popidar preacher takes his time, for Mr. Cham-bers has a soft spot in his heart for preachers who havo bi conceptions of people and thingH. But he reads proofs all tho time tho preacher talks and per-haps performs also a sort of obligato in the shape of a letter dictated to his His "record" was made one evening at 11:15, when big nrws was I flying in from all directions. While re-vising the proof of a story coming close to the danger line of lilel ho dictated a letter, talked to the exchange editor, ate a sandwich, drank a bottle of ale and trimmed his mustache with the exchange editor's sheers. That is Julius Cham-bers. ' Cl'RTIS Duxuam. Whcri You Can Buy 4 Lots in ' Davis, Sharp & Stringer's jdcLitloxi?

C. f. RESSEGUIE. Slomtroni rower or Sea Rrmkers. From experiments made at Bell Rock and Skerryvolo lighthouses, on the coast of Scotland, it was found that while the force of the breakers on the side of tho German ocean may be taken at about a ton and a half to every square foot of ex-posed surface, tho Atlantic side throws breakers with double that force, or three tons to the square foot; thus a surface of only two square yards sustains a blow from a heavy Atlantio breaker equal to fifty-fou- r tons. In March, 1890, a heavy gale blew for three days and nights at Skerryvole, washing out blocks of lime-stone and granite of three and five tons weight as easily as if they had been empty eggshells, in some cases throwing them entirely over tho breakwater at Plymouth. Over 300 tons of such blocks were washed 300 feet up the inclined beach af-ter being thrown over the breakwater and scattered about in various direc-tions. One block of limestone, estimated to be of 13 tons weight, was moved over 150 feet from a place in the surf whore it had been firmly grounded siuce 1G97, it having been rolled in sight by the aw-ful galo of tho "Windy Christmas" of that year. This is quite a high sea record for 1890, showing that the galo of March 3 was the worst known on the Scottish coast for 193 years. Sc. Louis Republic. Old uut Good. "The most eevtre rebuke I ever got from the bench," Mr. Choate tells, "was from one of those typical western judges who had determined that it was time to introduce a little more of the formality of the east in his court than he had for-merly insisted on. It was my first case in court, any way. I had gone out there about as green as they make them, and had purchased a half interest in the practice of a sharp lawyer, who imme-diately retired from practice in that town and made me a present of the re-mainder of his business when he felt my money safe in his pocket. So I was thrown on my own resources, and was soon fl.randcring so deep in legal quag- - mires that the judgo felt called on to interpose. A few months beforo he would probably have poured out some choice abue on my head, and would have offered to fight me if I did not like it. But now he was standing on for-mality.

It is not gener-ally supposed that any society woman in Xew York arrays herself in anybody's old clothes, but a few of them have done st), and been proud enough of the fact to tell about it, though it doos not seem to have readied the ears of those gifted and imaginative writers for some of the pa-pers whose vivid descriptions of the ts and nightgowns of society lead-ers whom they do not hesitate to specify would seem to indicate a remarkable in-timacy in the boudoirs of those ladies. But there aro women of abundant wealth and refined tasto who wear sec-ond hand clothes, though they do not gi down to Bleecker street to buy the gor-geous satins and cottony velvets which hang at the doors of the old clothes shops in such tempting magnificence. No, the possession of these castoffs im-plies a voyage across the sea, and stamps the owner at once as a woman of means and opportunities. For they are the once or twice worn toilets of royalty, and are only to be obtained by the fortu-nate few who can get in to the annual sale of costumes of Queen Margherita. of Italy. And it by no means follows that because they are second handed they are cheap. The modern kings and queens appear to have degenerated from the lavishness of splendor attributed to old time sovereigns and to have a thriftj satisfaction in turning an honest penny. Queen Margberita is a beautiful wom-an, and is said to be one of the best dressed in Europe. The exigencies ol court life, with its brilliant pageants and ceremonials, require a great many splen-did toilets in the course of the year, as the same one can only figure at two or three of these grand functions. Nor can it le supposed that any pretty woman neglects to live up to her opportunities and to fulfill these requirements. So at the end of the year the accumulation of scarcely worn fine gowns is sold to the highest bidders by a court chamberlain or some other royal functionary with much pomp and circumstance. Happy is the American woman with money in'i her purse" who gets into one of these j most exclusive auctions, but oh! thrice and four times happy, as Mr. Virgil re-- j marks,, the woman who brings home with her, hs did the wife of a rich New Yorker lately, a sumptuous gown of green velvet, with a train of royal length and Btrange, unique metallic embroider-ies, calculated to make every woman who saw her in it mentally inquire, "Where in the world did she get that gown?"
