Smugglers' Philantnropj.
At Broadmoor and Perth. Eng'nnd
the criminal lunatics have a free sup
ply of the most exquisite pipe tobacco,
cigars and cigarettes. In fact, they
jmoke far finer stuff than the average
rich man. Yet all this irood tobacco
costs the government nothing. The
smugglers of Rnglaud pay for the
smoking of the criminal insane, it Is
from her confiscated smuggled tobacco
that England tills the tobacco boxes of
Perth and Broadmoor.—London Tele

Catching a Cobra.
A driver on the Avoutuur railway
South Africa, while staying at tho
Gamtoos caught u large cobra de ca
pello alive. The cool way in which he
did the trick, says a local paper, sent n
cold shiver through every oue who saw
it fie simply caught bold of the point
of its tail, gave It a sudden jerk toward
him and caught the dangerous reptile
by the back of the head. rie_then
placed It In a biscuit tin. The snake
was three Im-hes in diameter and
about four feet long
Deceitful.
•'Men lire queer animals." said tbe
pessimist. "They are all more or leas
deceitful.'"
"Oh. I dou't believe that" replied the
optimist "1 think there are plenty of
people who strive to be honest. I know
I do. and ! dou't give myself credit for
being any bettei than tbe majority of
men."
"Then why do you ask me how my
health Is every time we meet and
stand arouud and look bored if 1 tell
you?"—Exchange.
Aeroplane Poison.
He was a wag and was a spectator
at an aeroplane contest
"That's a terrible poison that's been
discovered." he remarked amiably to
no oue in particular.
"Whiit's it called?" Inquired an elder
ly gentleman beside him.
"Why. aeroplane poison, of course!"
came the curt reply.
"Is it deadly?" nsked the E. G.
"1 should say so!" jerked out tbe
juvenile wag.
"And how much would kill a per
son?" went on the questioning one.
"Oh. one drop!" came the retort
Then that particular gronp became
the less by one.—New Tork Globe.
Constantine and Sofia.
Sofia, it is curious to recall, might
have been Constantinople If Constan
tine bad adhered to the preference he
felt at one time for it. Several places
were thought of as the site of the new
[tome before the unrivaled natun^ad
vantages of Byzantium secured the
honor, among them Troy and Serdlca
In Moesia. which we now know as
Sofia. "Serdlca is my Rome" was an
actual saying of Constantine, who was
almost certainly liorn not far off, at
NIsb. for the claim of York to be his
birthplace ts generally abandoned. But
"Constantinople" would not have
meant what it has If it had been fixed
anywhere but on the Bosporus.—Lon
don Standard.
