carat is an imaginary weight that ex-
presses the tinehess of gold, or the pro
portion OF pure gold in mass of met
al; thus, an ounce of gold is devided
into twenty-tour carats, and gold TWEEN
ty-two carats fine Is gold of which
twenty-five parts out of twenty-four
are pure the other two parts being sill

OF Tour grains, used by jewellers in
weighing precious stones and pearls, is
sometimes called diamond weight-the
carat consisting of four nominal grains,
a little lighter than four grains troy,
seventy-four and one sixteenth carat
grams being equal to seventy-two grains
troy The term or weight carat derives
It's name from bean, the fruit of an
Abyssinian tree, called kuara This
bean, from the time of It's being gath

and seems to have been, from very
remote period, used as q weight for
gold IN Africa. In India also the bean
IS used as a weight for gems and pearls.

SOME idea of the amount of money
expended for tobacco may be formed
from the fact that in New York city
during 1870, nearly 1900, coo pounds
of tobacco We're sold, and more than
{, 1000, GOO pounds beside We're shipped
to foreign ports-maklng a total of
nearly 20, 000,0 pounds as the trans
actions Of one year in New York alone
In Great Britain, it is estimated that
100000 pounds of tobacco were
consumed in 1869, the latest year for
which there are official returns.
