How Much Tobacco 4?

The entire mass of tobacco which is
annually consumed in smoking, snufing
and in chewing on the earth, is 4, 1000, 00O,-
600 pounds-manifestly too high an esti-
mate for from 1900, 100000 to 1,5OO,-
600, 900 of inhabitants. Let us take the
half as the more probable, and let us
suppose the tobacco leaves transformed
into roll tobacco, a tobacco serpent is
created which, with a diameter of two
inches, and following the direction of
the equator, could wind itself around
the earth thirty times, Let us suppose
that the tobacco is formed into tablets
similar to the chocolate tablets, and
which, indeed, is the shape which the
chewing tobacco of sailors takes, and
we have colossal pile worthy of being
placed beside the third largest of the
pyramids of Gizeh, that of the Myker-
mos, and as massive and high as that
old regal edifice. Let us grind all the
tobacco into snuff, and let us picture to
ourselves the sad case that an evil equi-
noctial wind, one fine morning, blows
the snuff over the ocean, and showers it
on one of our German states, we are
certain more than one of the Liliputian
states would have much difficulty in
recovering its existence by shoveling
away the snuff.-COpe's Tobacco Plant.

Her Economy.

The dried apple of to-day has a hun
dred yards the start of the dried apple
of ten years ago, but yet all people are
not willing to admit it. A Woodward
avenue grocerwas yesterday trying to
induce woman to buy three pound
package, instead of half bushel of
green apples, telling her that she would
save money by the operation.
Yes 1 might save money, and again
/ mightn't," she unused.
I know you would" he urged.
"But if l took home dried apples in
stead of green, there would be no
parings for the children and no cores for
my husband to chew on during the long
evening. And there's the worm-holes
they're awful nice for my canaries."

Be Social.

We are social beings, and the home
circle, alone, however attractive, will
not satisfy. The old-fashioned singing
school, the husking party, the lyceum,
the grange, the Good Templars' lodge,
or division of the Sons of Temperance,
whatever draws together the young men
and women, the boys and girls, for
development of mind and character and
for social enjoyment, is to be welcomed.
All the better, too, ii the parents can
renew their youth, or enter heartily
into the young peoples enjoyment.
There is but one object in the wsrld
more pitiable than the adult man or
woman who feels DO thrill of sympathy
over the happiness of the young, and
that most pitiable of all is the old head
on young shoulders, too dignified to ac-
cept the keen wisdom of the old Roman
poet, cit is pleasant to be foolish some
times" Work and play each have their
time, and advancing years bring no
pangs for the innocent sports and enjoy
ments of the youthful days long past.
We grow old all too soon, but if the
heart is fresh, and in sympathy with the
world around us, it matters little how
we count our years. -- lhe Homestead.

Absent. Minded.

A letter from New Preston, Conn, to
the Litchfeld Enquirer, contains this
anecdote: A man who had been sort
ing tobacco for one of his neighbors,
stopped at one of the stores on his way
from work and purchased pair of shoes.
He threaded his dinner-pail upon his
arm, took the shoes in the same band,
and with the other thrust deep in his
breeches' pocket, started for home.
Having got opposite DR.. Eds he missed
his dinner-pail, and, thinking he had
left it at the store, back he went for it.
AS he went through the door it swung
to, and hit the pail strung on his arm.
His only ejaculation was, "Thunder /
thought left it |" He'sthe same man
who took his watch to New Milford to
be repaired and two days afterward
found it in his vest pocket.

A DOMESTIC CHAPTER.

Ii was favorite expression of Mrs.
Mayne's, AS long as child of mine
lives with me, no matter if she is as big
as the house, she has got to mind me. I"
But when girls have become perfectly
indifferent to such threadbare assertions,
aud are really too old to submit to have
their ears boxed, talk as you may, what
is a mother to do?
Very much in this predicament was
Mrs. Mayne with her daughters, four
good-looking, good-for- nothing, charm
ing girls, who, afflicted with the mania
for pet names, only too common now-a-
days, had transformed themselves from
plain Amanda, Cecilia, Esther and
Margaret into Annie, Ceci, Essie and
Midge. Then to complete the family
circle, there was Oliver, a half-grown
lad with full-grown grievance. To be
alternately snubbed and petted, COOLED
and domineered over by his sprightly
sisters, who were all older than himself,
was bad enough but when his mother
not only disciplined him rigidly for his
own oIfenses, but because those saucy
iades couldn't be conquered, would
make him suffer for it, that was alto
gether too much. Had Oliver Mayne
been of philosophic turn of mind, he
might have seen in all this tagging q
sort of retributive justice for the woes
of the fair SIX under the d;spotism of
man, but alas he was not so he read
Mr.. Midshipman Easy" and, when
he dared, played truant and prowled
around the waterfront with ideas in his
head.
Yet in spite of all her Inconsistencies,
Mrs. Mayne was mother among a thou
sand. What would she not do to push
her daughters on in society ? So, while
they we're brought up as much like fine
ladies as was possible with her limited
means, she was cook, chambermaid and
seamstress by turns /; they gave their
best energies to the glide, the cream Of
their goc d nature to gentlemen friends,
and imbibing a taste for dress and fash
on well nigh insatiate.
To such length had this motherly
self-sacrifice been carried that there
had been months in Mrs. Mayne's life
when Sunday was no more day of rest
than any other; and while the girls were
rustling into church with their stylish
suits she was as likely as not shut up at
home, sewing away for dear life on some
fnery for them. All this she would do
uncomplainingly, but of little brief au-
thority she was extremely tenacious,
and liked to be consulted by her girls
on even the most trivial occasions.
