. or mere ingeniously bom ‘puppy.’ ’’—Pall Jaafl Gaaetto. _An Empress Who Smoke*.Empress Elizabeth ot Austria smokes from thirty to forty Turkish and Bnssian gjgaretteg a day, and for many years it has wen her inveterate custom to puff away .after dinner at a strong Italian cigar, one of those with a straw running through it, and which is brought to her with her cap of Turkish coffee every evening on a gold ■elver. She says herself that smoking ■ootbea her nerves, and that whenever she feels “tine” a cigar or cigarette will do store than anything else to cause her to aaB^^dngs^faShe is awriting she smoke* almost continually On her writing table are always a large silver bear of repousse work filled with cigarettes, a match box of carved Chinese Jade and a capacious ash receiver, made of the hoof of a favorite hunter, which broke its spine over a blackthorn hedge several years ago during one of the autumn meets at Scfcloss Godolle, in Hungary.The empress caused the handsome mare’s front hoofe to be mounted in silver in the form of ash receivers, and gave one to the emperor, the other' cdastitttting always pwt and parcel of her dressing case wherever she goes. Almost mechanically her majesty lights cigarette after cigarette as *b® rite in her great writing room at Goodie, which is fitted up with carved oak panels and Gobelin tapestries, the somber baa of the walls being relieved here and there by trophies of the chase. Any one who has the opportunity of examiningclosely the slender, white hand of the imperial lady will certainly have noticed a faint yellow stain on the first and second fingers of the left band caused by the cigarette.—Paris Letter.
