Smokers Should Read This.

The popular belief that bad cigars
are made of cabbage leaves is not justi-
fed by the last official report on tobac-
co adulteration. This document con-
tains tabulated account Of the seizures
of spurious tobacco made in the United
Kingdom since 1864, and in the whole
paper there is no mention whatever of
the much-suspected vegetable. Its
place in the black list is supplied by a
variety Of ingredients large enough to
rejoice the heart of any member Of the
Anti Tobacco League. The dishonest
dealer in things smokeable is shown by
the report to make use of three differ
ent sorts of materials beside that which
he processes to employ. The first sort
is required for the actual substance of
the cigar; the second for improving its
outward appearance, and the third for
imparting to it what is supposed to be
Il better taste. In the former category
the favorite substances seem to he the
leaves of the lime tree, the husks of
wheat and oats, cotton, yarn and ton
quin bean. But there are numerous
cases where the ingredients have been
much more curicusly selected, and have
included cocoanut fiber, small seeds,
cotton, wood and bread. At one estab-
lishment fifty pounds of 6 tobacco dust
were found and analysed, when it was
shown to contain string, wood, nails,
grindings Of tobacco-pipe, dirt and all
sorts of refuse. Another large class of
materials is apparently used for secur-
ing the adhesion and consistency Of the
cigar when made. Among these starch
is the most prominent; but it includes
gum and amidine, blue, gum arabic,
glue, glycerine and essential oils. The
color of the fabrication is the next thing
to be attended to, and for this purpose
resort is had to yellow ocher, red san
dalwood, logMood, lampblack and We
netian red. As for the flavor of the
cigar, it is varied to suit the most di-
verse tastes, but the usual object seems
to be to impart to it II pleasing sweet
ness of tone. Accordingly saccharine
matter, and especially treacle, is very
largely pressed into the service. For
those who like a rather more decided
taste, iquorice, salt. logwood, glycerine
and aniseed are used. 1t is in Dublin
where the latter ingredient is most
fashionable, while Edinburgh is fondest
of treacle and sugar and East London
is addicted to liquorice.-FaH Mall Ga
zctte.

A Farmers lce.HOuse.

EVERY farmer should have one, not
only for the profit in it, but also for
the luxury it affords. You don't re-
quire carpenter to make one, rs you
can build it yourself, not under ground,
but on the surface. Select shady
place if YOU can; if not, put it in the
"blazing' sun, and will guarantee
that the ice will keep well, if you follow
my directions: First, select your loca-
tion, and then draw in a few loads of
sand, gravel, or any light soil to raise
the be,i, about twelve feet square, 4 few
inches to carry off the drippings OF the
ice. Then lay the stills of Axe timber
(hemlock will dog and put up the
frame; posts 8 feet high, 4x4, plates SKI,
with studs 2xi; and with Il couple of
2N4 ties across from plate to plate, to
prevent the building from spreading
when full of ice Hemlock weather.
boards will do, if your object be to
build very cheap house. The roof
should have double pitch, and be
quite steep, to be covered with sound
boards and battened over the cracks.
In one end of this roof, the shady end,
have window about 12x18 inches, to
allow the heated air within to escape.
The door, also, should be on the north
side. When you are ready 10 put in
your ice, lay down some loose boards
rs a floor, on which you put sawdust,
eight or ten inches thick, at the same
time having supply to pack at least
twelve inches thick around the ice, as
it is put in.
To cut out the ice, you need an ice
saw, some six feet long with one handle.
Such saw as is used for saving logs
may be used, with one handle re-
moved. Saw the ice in square blocks,
and pack it close in the ice-house, FILL
ing the openings with fine ice as you
proceed with each layer, and the whole
will become solid body of ice. The
ice should be at least foot from the
building on all sides; and this open
space must be filled with sawdust, well
packed down; at the doorway put loose
boards, as the filling proceeds, to keep
the sawdust in its place. Also put saw
dust, about foot deep, on the top of
the ice, when the building is full. If
your icc-housc is to be built in Il slightly
place near your dwellings, it would be
better to employ Il carpenter II couple
of days, and put up a nice building,
clapboartled, shingled and painted-all
complete for about twenty-five dollars.
Such an ice-house as the above cannot
possibly fail to afford Il supply of ice
for any family through the entire sea-
son; and, probably, one only ten feet
square would be large enough for farm
ers. Think Of a farmers family living,
year after year, with no place. to keep
butter, fresh meat, ETC., when, for
twenty-five dollars, a fine, commodious
ice-housc can be built.-Rurat NesC-
Yorker.
