decision with refeEence to vexed question
affecting railway travellers. That question
Is. What Ia personal luggagey In this &C

his shooting boots, two fowls aud some veRe-
tables The company did not object to pay
for the boots butrepudiated all otner claims,
Oh the plea that the fowls and the vegetables
were not personal luggage" The Judge de
clared that the company was In the wrong,
and held that the articles did come within the
category OF personal luggage.' Even

what Tobacco IN.

We have heard the tobacco-user claim that
the weed was food and drink to him, but never
thoroughly believed him until British par
lame ntary report on adulteratton set forth
the following schedule: Sugar, alum. lime,
flour or meal, rhubarb leaves, saltpetre'
fuller's earth, starch, malt commings,
chromate OF lead, peat, moss, molasses, bur-
dock leaves, common salt, endive leaves,
lampblack, gum, red dye, q black dye com,
posed Of vegetable red aud licorice, scraps OF
newspaper, cinnamon stick. cabbage leaves
and straw-brown paper" This Is convincing
Not only Is 1t food aud drink. II is also house
