A few days ago Land- lord Maspeth spread a half dozen new hammocks under thet trees on his lawn for the use of his guests, and the bride and. groom appropriated two of them to their own use. On Wednesday they determined to decorate their ham- mocks eviela the shining leaves of a. beautiful peagreen vine which they found in. the woods. The couple spent the best part of half a day m tearing utri.quantities of the vine and. -weaving ib into the one,shes of their hanaraotiks. Then they reclined amid the polished leaves. They were thoroughly happy when soma oottntry wise person noticed the vine they had twined in their ham- inatiks was poison ivy. A Merry call from the two haramocks was sounded and the couple were treat - bo liberal quantities of cooling lo- tions, but apparently to no purpose, .for within a few hours both Mr. Con- klin& and his. wife exhillited synaptonis of severe poisoni,ng.

The fact is that you love tee, church of God so mucb that there is no spot on earth so sacred, unless it be your own fire- , side.

Yet Nehemiah did not give up.

Once again tee cry is raised that cigarette smoking is on the increase aanong women in this city, writes a New York coxrespondent. This time it is a Broadway tobaceanist, who has occupied the same up -town stand. for more tha,n 20 years, who advances the explosion as based on his experience. He says that the astonishment which marked women's rare visits 20 years ago lass given away to efforts to en- courage the trade, shown in the frequent calls, many in an hour now made for cigarettes by members of the gentler sex. Dealers, he ex- plains, divide women cigarette smok- ers into two classes -those of the high- e,st special positions and these with none at all, few if any, customers com- ing from the ranks between. He ad- vocates the practice as likely to dim- inish indigestion and dyspepsia, but thinkswome.n will never smoke in pubs lio in this country. Many of the most fashionable wosnen have their cigar- ettes made to order with gilt tops and monograms or crests, while jewelers testify to the increase of the habit as shown in the increased demand for wo- men's cigarette cases, which are thin- ner than those made for men, and more elaborate in design and ornamentation, FEMININE CURSOSITY.
