Smokers Should Read This.

The popular belief that bad cigars are made of cabbage leaves is not justified by the last official report on tobacco adulteration. This document contains a tabulated account of the seizures of spuri- ous tobacco made in the United Kingdom since 1864, and in the whole paper there is no mention whatever of the much-sus- pected vegetable. Its place in the black list is supplied by variety ofingredients large enough to rejoice the heart of any member of the Anti Tobacco League. The dishonest dealer in things smokea- ble is shown by the report to make use of three different sorts of materials be- sides that which he professes to employ. The first sort is required for the actual substance of the cigar; the second for improving it's outward appearance, and the third for imparting to it what is SUD- posed to be a better taste. In the former category the favorite substances seem to be the leaves of the lime tree, the husks of wheat and oats, cotton; yarn and ton qrlin bean. But there are numerous cases where the ingredients have been much more curiously selected, and have in cluded cocoanut fibre, small seeds, cotton, wood and bread. At one establishment fifty pounds of tobacco dust" were found and analysed, when it was shown to contain string, wood, nails, grindings of tobacco-pipe, dirt and all sorts of re- fuse. Another large class of materials is apparently used for securing the adhesion and consistency of the cigar when made
 Among these starch is the most promin- ent but it includes gum and amidine, blue, gum arabic, glue, glycerine and es- sential oils. The color of the fabrication is the next thing to be attended to, and for this purpose resort is had to yellow ochre, red sandalwood, logwood, lamp black and Venetian red. As for the flavor of the cigar, it is varied to suit the most diverse tastes, but the usual object seems to be to impart to it pleasing sweetness of tone. Accordingly saccharine matter, and especially treacle, is very largely pressed into the service. For those who like rather more decided taste, liquor ice, salt, logwood, glycerine and aniseed are used. It is in Dublin where the latter ingredient is most fashionable, while Edinburgh is fondest of treacle and sugar and East London is addicted to iquorice.

 We removed our boots, and silently passed out of the back door. There was a dovecot on 8 post near the rear end of the kitchen, and going to it I inserted my hand and drew out a bundle. It was the money Looking up, we saw that Tom had crept out of his open window, and come down over the roofs.
 When we were in, and spread out the money, we found several new bills badly torn, and there were blood spots on others.

 "Tom," I answered, interrupting him, "I have known all day you killed Miss Williams There are dozen things tc prove it besides these torn and stained bills! You must go with me to the county jail"
 He held out for reply, but when he saw I had trapped him, and that it was no use, he broke down, began to cry and surrendered.

resistible charm about it, It means

we see the result of toll. Great
scholars are not made-their scholar

the evidences of wealth would not

be no better than idle savages. who
