History of TObaccO.Using.

The tobacco plant is a native of
America. 1t was introduced into
Europe after the discovery of the new
world by Columbus. 1T was first used
in Spain and Portugal, and afterward
introduced into England by Sir Walter
Raleigh. It was soon after carried into
France, Germany, Rus@ia, Italy and
France.
In Russia the use of tobacco was pro-
hibited under penalty of the bastinado
for the first offense, loss of the nose for
the second, and deprivation of lite for
the third In Italy, all who used to-
bacco or snuff in church were excom-
muDicated. In Switzerland, all users
of tobacco were punished by the magis-
trates as criminals. In Constantinople
a Turk was led through the street with
his nose transfxed by pipe-stem, as a
warning TO all smokers. The Shah of
Persia treated tobacco using as capt.
tai crime. James I. also made earnest
effort to suppress the traffic In tobacco,
placing heavy imposts upon it.
a brief glance at a few statistics viii
show how enormous is the amount OF
tobacco raising and using at the present
time.
In 1853 tobacco cost England more
than 100000
In the year 1860 it cost France the
same sum.
Last year 1S73) it was estimated that
tobacco cost the English people more
than bread.
The United States annually exhausts
in the culture of tobacco 400, 900 acres
of its richest soil, and employs 40, 600
men, women, boys and girls in its
manufacture. In 1S42 the amount of
tobacco used in this country amounted
to seven pounds for each adult person.
Holland has 1000, 1000 sallow, cadav-
erous-looking people engaged in the
manufacture of the various forms of
tobacco.
The present annual production of the
world is estimated by reliable authori-
ties at 1000, 100000 pounds, which
must cost the consumers at least $780,
000, 000.-Healh Reforner.

Cooking.

There is no more important branch
of preventive medicine" the Lancet
asserts, than cooking. Bad cooking
may cause a dwindling of the race,
ruination of the temper, and deteriora-
ton of the morals. Good cooking, ON
the other hand, is accompanied by ma
tional prosperity and domestic bliss.
So say the promoters of the National
Training School of Cookery, who are
undoubtedly right in the main, and are
deserving of all imaginable success.
Now, cooking is both an art and a
science. For it's progress as an art we
are not greatly concerned. although our
profession would undoubtedly suffer in
pocket should fine-art cookery go out of
fashion. Elegant" dishes are gen
orally whited sepulchers, and the fore
runners of blue pills and other disa-
greeable correctives. We hope that
the school will busy itself mainly in i'm
parting a knowledge of the scientific
principles of cooking, and will teach
their cooks that the quality par e1cel-
lence which all food should have is
wholesomeness. The bulk of the En-
glish people live in big cities, and if we
were asked to name the most predomi-
mating characteristic of our urban pop
ulation, we should say Dyspepsia. F"
Those who spend their days in dark
offices, chambers, or consulting rooms,
and keep their noses everlastingly upon
their respective grindstones, seldom
knew that good digestion which should
wait ON appetite. Hitherto their din
ners have not been SO skillfully prepared
as to demand the least possible effort
from jaded stomach but let us hope
that the national disgrace of indigesti-
biity will no longer dim the brightness
of our hospitality, and the number
of patent medicines which are sold so
largely in this country as aids to diges-

Horrible Death.

One of the most horrible and sicken-
ing accidents that has ever occurred In
our city took place at noon yesterday.
About IL 80 o'clock, an old gentleman
named Billy Saberton, better known as
"Tailor Bill" and who did odd jobs,
went into Mr.. n Files mills, on Canal
street, near Eighth, and asked permits
sion to sharpen scythe on the grind
stone run by steam in that establish
ment. His request was granted. At
nearly II o'clock one of the millers had
occasion to 60 into the cellar, and there
horrible sight met his gaze. The en-
gines and walls were despatched with
blood, an the large fy-wheel, IA feet
in diameter, revolving at the rate of 80
revolutions minute, was reeking with
gore The engine was stopped, and,
though pieces of bone and flesh and
clots of blood were found all about, they
were identified as those of the unfortu-
nate Billy Saberton. The skull was
picked up in four pieces; the two eyes
were thrown together from their sockets
near the door; his heart entire was
found hanging to one of the small belt
wheels, and the largest parts of the
trunk and limbs were found near the pit
of the hy-wheel. It was a most horri-
bic and sickening sight, no one piece
found weighing over six pounds. The
Coroner was called, and brought with
him coffin, in which was placed the
unfortunate victims head, as nearly as
possible, and the two feet. No attempt
was made to gather the other portions
of the body Systematically, but they
were scraped together and deposited
pell-mell in the coffin, being picked up
with shovel. -EUansuiue (Iad

The Peace of Enrone.


There i no telling when the armed
peace of Europe will DE brought to an
abrupt close, and war, deadlier and
more horrible than has been witnessed
for many year, break out between
France and Germany. In Germany,
France-in all Europe in fact-and in
this country, proximate Franco Prus-
sian war is spoken of as matter of
fact, much as the next sunrise is spoken
of only the time when the one event
will happen is known definitely, aud
that of the other not so definitely. The
world expects it. The world expects
that France shall "a soon as prepared
if a war is not forced upon her sooner
by Germany-declare war against Ger
many. Notice has been served on
France to that effect. There is tacit
understanding among men that in no
other way can she retain her place
among the nations than by numbering
number of some other nation and
having as few of her own devoted sons
murdered as is compatible Herewith.
Parliaments, Ministers, pamphleteers,
journalists, preachers, have told her she
must fight Germany again. The opin-
ion, and gossip, and ia k of the world,
leave these good Frenchmen no alterna-
tive but to go to war.
A question of great interest at the
present time is that of Belgian neu-
trality. That, so far as Belgium itself
is concerned, it will not violate its
neutral policy, is conceded ON all hands.
But it is thought that its neutrality
may be violated that France may en-.
deavor to reach her enemy over Bel
GUM. The Germans themselves be-
lieve in the possibility of Frances en-
deavoring to move her troops over Bel
GUM to the Rhine; that they might
accomplish this with so much celebrity
that Belgium could offer no resistance.
England and Germany manifest some
anxiety, therefore, that the neutrality
of Belgium should be placed beyond {
peradventure. The French, ON the
other hand, well aware o. the advan
tageous position of Belgium, are afraid
that Germany has designs on Belgium
and Holland. Impartial observers
however, believe that there is mucl
more of desire on the part of France
than of Germany to disregard the neu
trail attitude of Belgium. Chicago

Marvellous Billiards.

Adrian LIAR, the celebrated billiard
player, gave one of his scientific enter
tainments In the Newcastle Town Hall,
England, recently, before an apprecia-
tive assembly. Though an expert with
the cue, his favorite mode of play is by
spinning the ball from between the
thumb and forefnger of the right hand.
He has this great advantage over his
opponents who use the cue, that he can,
move his ball from any part of the
board and spin it from whichever side
of the object ball shall be most favora-
BILE for the intended carom or hazard.
The first item in the programme was a
carom of $50 points up, wherein Mr.. G.
H. Banks, OF the Black Boys billiard
rooms, received so points start, the
French professor winning by 30 points.
Then followed an exhibition of fancy
shots which has never been surpassed
on this side the pond. Monsieur liar
PLAYED a new stroke known as the snake
carom, the ball running the gauntlet of
two decanters and sixteen tumbler
glasses before making the desired carom.
He made carom after carom, causing
his ball to describe all sorts of curves,
carcms from misstrokes, caroms on the
woodwork of the table, from the table
on to the floor, caromed with fifteen
pyramid balls, spun the balls into all
the pockets from every conceivable
angle, and wound up most marvellous
entertainment by spinning one of the
balls upon plate for four minutes and
n half

THE best method OF controlling COWS
inclined to kick while handling or milk
ing them is to pass broad strap just in
front of the bag and around over the
back of the animal; draw the strap
tight and buckle it. This prevents all
play of the cords and renders the
animal incapable of kicking. and she
can then be handled without difficulty.
A few applications will cure the worst
cases.

How a Flock of Sheep was Drowned.

Gdtiga0ais Messenger notes that
somewhat singular incident had just
occurred at a farm belonging to the
chateau of Avignon, in the Camargue,
Notwithstanding A flock of 6S4
sheep were feeding, when they were
suddenly surprised by violent storm
of wind and rain dashing in their faces.
They instantly turned and ran away to
escape the driving shower, but, unfor-
tunately, the path they selected led
them straight to a deep pond. into
which they plunged one after the other,
and were all drowned. A poor dog,
which was in charge of the flock, en-
deavored to stop them, but the pressure
of the frightened animals was so great
that he was borne down and shared
their fate. Their bodies were extricat-
ed the next day and buried in deep
bitches dug close by. The loss was es-
timated at nearly 30,0O0f.

AntidOte to Poisoning.

The experiments made by Prof. Binz,
of Bonn, with reference to the effects
of alcohol on animals, are regarded as
Of much importance, inasmuch as he
seems to have discovered the reason
why alcohol stimulants are so useful In
cases of snake-poisoning. He found
that when decomposed blood was intro
duced into the veins of the living ami
NAL, all the symptoms of putrid fever
were shown, the temperature increasing
until death ensued. Alcohol, it is
stated, reduced the heat and retarded
the putrid process, increasing the action
of the heart-precisely the effect OF
alcohol stimulants, it is said, when adj

ABOUT HANp-SAws. Hand-saws in
America and England have the teeth
pointed from the handle, while is Asiatlc
countries and In Greece they are made
with teeth pointed the other way. The
latter must be operated by pulling them,
the former by pushing. In delicate
work, and where fine, small saws are
used, the Eastern saw is the best. The
Orientals differ from us in setting the
teeth of saws, also. They turn group
of dozen one way, and the next group
the other, while we alternate one on one
side and the next on the other.
