SMOKERS AND NON-SMOKERS.

The following iuformation is taken from the Cigar and Tobacco World:—Dr Moorhouse, lately Bishop of Melbourne, and now Bishop of Manchester, is a past master in art ot smoking. Luinholz, the Australian explorer, is strongly prejudiced against, the weed in any form. Dr Nansen, during his travels in foreign "coiintries, never touches tobacco, but when at home is partial to the cigarette. Dr Elliot Coues, the noted ornithologist, 'smokes cigarettes, which he rolls himself with all the dexterity of a Cuban caballaro. He cannot be considered a wasteful smoker, as one of his desk drawers is always full of cigarette stumps and ashes, which are the result of perhaps a year's smoking.—Mr Joseph Thomson, one of the world's great explorers, abstains from tobacco when abroad, but yields to the soothing influence of the divine hero at his owu fireside.—Sergeant Keid,, the winner of the Queen, s Prize at Wimbledon this year, is a nonsmoker and a teetotaller. The anti-smokists have a firm supporter in Mr George Gilbert Aime Murray, the new Professor of Greek at the (ilasgrow University.—Mr John Burns, who is attaining great publicity just now on account of his connection with the dock labourers' strike, is both an antismokist and an antidrinkist.
