DuVIng the last few days the Sultan
of Turkey was shut up In the Yildiz
Kiosk he is said to have smoked over
thirty cigarettes every hour to "cool
his nerves." For years Abdul Hamid
has smoked dozens of stronrr cigarettes
every day, and it can be said without
fear of contradiction that he has been
the most ardent devotee of the fra
grant weed that was ever seated upon
a throne.
King Edward likes cigars, cigarettes
and a pipe, London Tit-Bits declares.
He, however, has no liking for Amerj
lean-made cigarettes, his favorites be1
ing mild Turkish ones. In his young
days, his majesty smoked cigarettes
and nothing else, but now he Is more
fond of a good cigar than "tobacco
wrapped in paper." His everyday
cigar is said to be specially made for
liim in Cuba, of the finest tobacco.
Once when the king was miles out
on the yankee prairie, during his
American and Canadian travels, he
produced a cigar, and his companions
followed his example. "A match
please." said royal highness. A

match! There was but one match be
tween the whole party. The position
was tragic, for the wind was tearing
over the prairie. In order to decide
who should attempt to keen the soli
tary match alight in the wind lots were
drawn with blades of grass. The dire
responsibility fell upon the king. He
lay on the ground and his companions
gathered round him with outstretched
coats as shelter. The match was light
ed, so were all the cigars. Never before
or since has the 'king felt so nervous
as when he struck that match in the
vast American prairie miles away from
any town or village.

in the privacy of his study he puffs at
a small wooden pipe of the type fav
ored ythe average Smoker and cost

consumes various kinds of tobacco,
sometime# a mixture, and his cigars,
which come from Cuba, cost about 2
shillings each.
The King of Spain keeps strictly to
the cigarette. This is rolled in paper
ungummed and requires very careful
smoking to keep whole. Alfonso's cig
arette is about, as peculiar as the cigar
which ^Jie Emperor Francis Joseph of
Austria used to smoke. The latter was
fitted with a straw tube and had to be
held in a candle flame for a minute or
two before it could be made to draw.
The Czar of Russia and the Prince
of Wales favor the pipe when in pri
vate, but their smoking implements
are of little value. A small pipe of the
"bulldog" type Is affected by both of
them, and the tobacco they consume is
of the common, inexpensive kind.

consumed over 100,000 cigars in fifty
years. Thomas Alva Edison probably
holds the record for the number of
cigars smoked daily by one man, for
he has confessed that, while ten cigars
are his normal allowance, he consumes
double that number when deeply ab
sorbed in work. Edwin Booth, the
tragedian, often smoked twentv-five
cigars a day, and his dresser used to
stand in the wings with a lighted
cigar in his hand ready for the actor
when he made his exit. Dr. Norman
Macleod, a famous Scottish preacher,
used to keep a box of cigars in his
vestry and after service would regale
himself with a "puff" much to the hor
ror of his elders.
Tennyson's love for his pipe was
proverbial. It was the poet's boon
companion, and an Irish clay was his
favorite. Baskets of clay pipes ready
for use were stacked round the walls
of his study and as many as 200 were
to be found lying loose on the floor.
