Tobacco.
A pEZZIR

PEZZIK.
Our shout for instance, is alike,
/ do not cry al acche,"
But with pleasure infinite,
Pll join In "Io Baccy."
The god hath bowls Of gems and gold,
(Some plated though-a clear sham,)
And SO have I!-but then they're made
OF china, clay and meerschaum.
So sang the immortal Hood, and so
will every lover of tobacco sing, espe-
cially when he enjoys the pure Virginia,
burnt in the king OF pipes, pure meer-
schaum. This name, as most readers
know. literally signifies sea foam, a
plain translation Of tie term, kiefeka,
by which it is Known among the Tar
tars. The article itself being found in
various parts of Asia Minor, while Con-
stantinople is the great mart for its sale.
Its component parts are chiefly silica,
magnesia, carbonic acid and water, and
it occurs chiefly in veins or Jumps
among serpentine rocks" When first
found it is capable of forming lather
like soap, and is used by the Tartars
for washing linen. Its name-which
the French also adopt, Ecume de Mer-
is obtained from its delicate softness,
and purity; butin manufactur-
ing it into good pipes a very large pro-
portion of the material is worthless, as
it is liable to crack when heated, owing
to the air it contains. 1t therefore un-
dergoes a manipulation very similar to
the clay used by potters. and after be-
ing shaped is roasted or boiled1n tallow
or WAX, a part of the process of manu-
facture requiring peculiar knowledge,
to be obtained only by long experience,
and upon which largely depends the
value of the pipe for smoking purposes,
and therein lies the secret Of Its absorb
ing properties. -+..

The Changes In the Frog.

Nowhere in the animal kingdom is
there so favorable an opportunity for
peeping into natures workshop as in
the metamorphoses of the frog, says
the Penn Monthly. This animal is a
worm when it comes from the egg, and
remains such the first four days of its
life, having neither eyes nor ears nor
nostrils nor respiratory organs. 1t
crawls. 1t breathes through its skin.
After while neck is grooved into
the flesh. Its soft lips are hardened
into a horny beak. The different or
gans, one after another, bud out; then
a pair of branching gills, and last a
long and timber tail! The worm has
become a fish. Three or four DAYS
more elapse, and the gills sink back
into the body, while in their place
others come. much more complex, ar
ranged in vascular tufts, 112 in each.
But they, too, have their day, and are
absorbed, together with their frame
work of bone and cartilage, to be sue
ceeded by an entirely different breath
ing apparatus, the initial of a second
correlated group of radical changes.
Lungs are developed, the mouth wild
ened, the horny beak converted into
rows of teeth, the stomach, the abdo-
men, the intestines, prepared for the
reception of animal food in place ioi
vegetable; four limbs, fully equipped
with hip and shoulder bones, with
nerves and blood vessels, push oul
through the skin, while the tail, being
now supplanted by them as a means Of
locomotion, is carried away piecemea
by the absorbents, and the anima
passes the balance of its days as an air
breathing and flesh feeding batrachian

Wedding Costumes In Brittany.

The wedding was preceded by re-
QUEEN sang for the repose of the souls
of the groom's father and mother, he
being an orphan. A most mournful
and lugubrious introduction to a we'd
ding it seemed. The groom, who is
very rich, hear, was asight to behold.
His sleeved waistcoat was of no COM
mon cloth, but of rich blue velvet, Gu
riously embroidered, his sash of blue
silk and his hat bound with broad sill
yer ribbon. The unity of his costume
was somewhat marred by black cloth
trousers and pair of kid boots of Paris
ian make. But if the groom was a splen-
did sight, what shall say of the bride?
Her dress was gorgeous. She. literally
blazed with gold and silver laces and
ribbons, spangles of all colors and silk
embroidery. Her apron was a plum
colored silk, brocaded with great flow
ers of green and yellow. Nor was she
alone in her magnificence; many of the
guests were as brilliant as she. Two
young ladies from Chateaulin, neigh
boring town, wore silver gray brocade
aprons, black dresses, trimmed with
black velvet, the open bodice filed in
front with pink silk, covered in the one
case with roses, in the other with little
ostrich feathers. PhiLGdelph Bulletin.

never been written. But space admon-
ishes us that we must not dwell.
In 100, after eighty-four years from
its first planting by new race, we find
that the tobecco export from the colo
nies was about %, 900, 900 pounds. The
export in 1775 had risen to 1O1, 1928, ,617
pounds; in 1900 to lis, ,039, 900 pounds.
We shall endeavor to show here, in q
general way, the progress of tobacco
since the peace of 1888. We find, in
the three years, from 1887 to 1889, an
export from the United States of 267,-
311 900 pounds; and from 1890 to 1899
inclusive S17, ,937 hogsheads of leaf, and
$50. 744 pounds of manufactured.
The report of the Commissioner of
Agriculture for January, 1S79,. says
1--WE have no accurate data of the
yield per acre of the product (tobacco)
for 1877. The total amount exported
and manufactured was little over 463,-
600, 900 pounds. Allowing six per cent.
for that used at home, and that which
evaded the tax, we have a crop for 1877
of about 400, ,OOO, 900 pounds" But six
per cent is too small an estimate for
that used at home," aside from that
which evades the tax; SO that the low
est estimate for the crop of 1877 must
exceed 500, 900, 900 pounds.
The worlds annual production of to-
bacco is about as follows: North
America, 500, 900. 900 pounds, of which
500. 600, 900 pounds are produced in the
United States; South America, 90, ,OOO,-
600; West Indies, 13O, 900. 900; Europe
and Asia, 495, 900, 900; Java and Aus
tralia, 5O,OOO.OOO; Africa, 10000, 900;
aggregate l, 800, 900, 900 pounds.
Possibly the true amount is nearer
1,5OO, 600, 900 pounds.
While the United States is the largest
producer, she is relatively by no means
the greatest consumer of tobacco. The
best informed estimate the consump-
ton at not above four and one-half
pounds per head per annum of the
whole population, while in Germany ii
reaches about six pounds per head. In
England the annual average for each
person is nearly a pound and q half. In
France nearly everybody smokes, and
, in Holland more money is said to be
spent on tobacco than on bread. In
deed it may be accepted as a fact that
tobacco is more generally used than
any other single article of commerce
consumed by man.
AS a source of revenue to our Govern.
ment at present the amount collected
seems almost fabulous.
The tables below give the amount OF
revenue derived from all sources of the
tobacco industry for the year ending
June 80, 1879 and 1873, and the quanti.
ties produced in the same time.
1t will be seen by a comparison that
the total revenue and production fol
1879 makes better showing than 1873,
and in fact the showing is a better one
than has been made since the estab.
lishment of the Revenue Department.
