Although Columbus noticed the custom
of smoking in his second voyage to the
American continent, in 1894, tobacco was
not introduced into Europe until nearly
seventy years after that date. Jean Nicot,
Lord of Villemain, Master of the Requests
of the French Kings household, and am
oassador to the Portuguese Court pur-
chased, while at Lisbon, some tobacco seed
from Flemish merchant who had OBJ
tained it in Florida, and on his return to
France, in 1861, he presented to Catherine
de Medicis a few of the plants obtained
from this seed. Sir John Hawkins is be-
leved to have brought tobacco into Eng
land four years after this but the honor of
being the first English smoker, which is
usually given to Sir Walter Raleigh, ap-
pears to belong to Ralph Lane, who was
sent out by Raleigh as governor of Vlr'
ginia, and returned to England in 1886.

GLASS WINDOWS.

Glass windows must have been in use
before the time of Bede, who says that
artificers skilled in making glass were en-
ployed in glazing the windows of the
lcurch and Monastery of Wearmouth i'll
ID. G74; but glass windows were not
common for five hundred years after that,
and the manufacture of glass in England
is said to have begun in 1917, so the old
windows must have been glazed with
foreign glass, for the most brilliant sprci-
mems of stained glass appear in such of the
church windows as have ESCAPED the de-
structive effects of the English Reforma-
ton. 1t is not possible to shy when glass
was first used for windows; but Nero paid
q sum of ESQ, 900 for two transparent glass,
and it is mentioned as early as the end of
the third century as being sometimes used
for glazed windows. The following is
from an Encyclopedia: 'Pliny informs
us that Sidon was the first city distin-
guished for its glass works, and that the
manufacture of glass was not introduced
into Rome until the reign of Tiberius. He
further states that in the reign of Nero the
art of making vases and cups of white
transparent glass was invented. The an
cient Egyptians carried the art to the
highest perfection, and are known to have
prnctieed it as early as 1000 B. O., if not
earlier. 1t was hastily concluded that
glass was used for windows in the time of
Titicus, because fragments of glass plates
have been found at Pompeii, which town
was destroyed in his reign; but the first
certain information of this mode of using
glass is to be found in Lactantius, in the
third century A. D. st. Jerome also speaks
of it's being so used (422 A. D. Benedict
Biscop introduced glass windows into Bri-
tain in A. D. 674. though they may have
been previously introduced by the Ro-
mans.-Newcastle (Eng.) Chronicle.

TEE REINDEER.

To the Laplanders the reindeer is every
thing; in fact, without it they would cease
to, exist. The flesh affords them food.
The milk is not only drank, but serves to
make cheese, &C.; it is also distilled into a
kind of spirit The reindeer skin, which
is soft and plant, warm and strong, serves
as clothing, for blankets, and, in fact, for
almost every purpose to which we apply
the various forms of cloth. The tendons
are used for every purpose to which we
apply cord, rope, and string, whilst rein
deer tongues form one of the most dainty
dishes that can be placed upon the table,
as we'll as, it is believed, considerable ar
ticle of export
