In the manufacture of tobacco. mo-
lasses, lioorice, paste, IA ,decoction of

sweet taste. Common salt and other
salts are used for fiavoring, and nitrate

smoking tobacco has its odor. if not its

cascarilla bark. Cabbage and other
leaves are often used to adulterate chew
ing tobacco.
In cold weather, horses which have
been driven rapidly, or have become
heated from exertion, throw off great
quantities of steam or vapor. The reason
of this is that the heat thrown off
from the body on coming in contact with
the colder air is condensed in the form
of yapor. The principle is the same as
that which causes the windows of close
room to become covered with ice ON a
cold day In winter. The warm air of the
room becomes condensed on the cold
glass, and it is CONCEALED in the form of
ice.
PREVIOUS to the time of Queen Eliza
beth stairs were all constructed on a
circular plan, and were called trrret or
corkscrew stairs. During the sixteenth
and seventeenth centuries staircases with
wide, straight flights were first intro
duced, aud were made the leading feat
ures i'll mansions of the Elizabethan
style. They had usually massive oak
balusters with carved panels and pen
dants. Staircases of this description are
still in common use, but are lighter in
style, light cast-iron being used instead
of oak balustra,les.

81 Never Take Medicine Medicine

IAYlAxnk yhlO oAOASN oeAhh4aAo4 osAOn Va
President Taylor, a young man visited
Washington to sell cholera medicine.
Thinking it would aid him in his bust
ness, he called mt the White House while
a public reception was being held, to
present the President with bottle of
the medicine.
He had rehearsed little speech with
which TO preface the presentation. But
when he found himself face to face for
the first time with live President his
nerves were too much disturbed for him
to speak it. He, therefore, mumbled q
few words, more amusing than elegant,
about the medicine being ga dead shot, |"
and pulled out the bottle, only to hear
the President say, in a tone loud enough
to he heard through the room:
81 thank you but never take med
icine, cholera or no cholera.
The young man almost tainted from
modification. But in less than ten days
Gen. Taylor died of cholera, caused by
his own indiscretion in eating.
On very warm Fourth of July the
cornerstone of the Washington monu-
ment was laid. President Taylor partic-
ipated in the ceremony, and drank freely
OF lce-water.
On his return to the White House he
complained of feeling hungry, and ate
freely of cherries, washing them down
with iced milk.
AT dinner, against the remonstrance of
a physician, who was present, he again
partook heartily of cherries. In an hours
time he was attacked by cholera-morbus
and died within four days.

Owls as Pets.

When the boys in Europe wish to rob
an owls nest of the young, and cannot
reach down the hollow tree, they tie a
worsted stocking to stick, and poke it
down. The birds turn on their backs
and grasp the stocking with their claws,
and are easily drawn up, as they possess
the faculty of holding on in high de-
gree, as my torn clothes and lacerated
hands could frequently testify. Owls
are easily tanned, and sometimes make
interesting pets, although there are
more differences in individual tempers
than most people would imagine. L
have living mt this time three snowy
owls, captured this winter One was
wounded with rifle ball one was
trapped; the other attacked hen III
midday, but was in turn knocked over
by gallant gamecock; the farmer saw
the circumstance, ran and threw his
coat over the owl and secured him. All
my birds are very tame, and will sub
NIT to be coaxed on the head, and will
take food from the hand at any time of
the day or night. think L may say the
snowy owl is an exception among rapa-
cious birds in the quality of its flesh, as
it is really tender and well tasted. L
have known it eaten ON several occasions
and pronounced excellent. One was
served up incognito at a public dinner,
and was greatly relished a

Mercantile Risks.

The risks of mercantile life are limited
at in a notice of John Shillito, the late
Cincinnati merchant, published IN the
New York Times 1t may be that farm
ers' lads will ponder on the facts sug-
gested, and conclude to stick by the old
farm:
The late Cincinnati merchant, John
Shillito, had been the leading retail dry
goods dealer there for more than forty
years. and in all that time, it is said, had
never failed, suspended, compromised or
asked to compromise with his creditors.
He always paid dollar for dollar. always
did business on strict business princl-
pies, aud was almost the only merchant
ia that city who had SO long weathered
the financial storms and stress of very
trying period. =,
Merely to reason about it, it would
not seem remarkable that q merchant
should, for forty years, carry on bust
ness with uniform success. But facts
and statistics show that such instances
are extremely rare in any part OF this
country.
Few business men in the United
States 90 on. it Is said, for fifteen or
even twelve years without failure or sus-
pension these, on an average, get into
serious pecuniary embarrassments every
ten years, most Of them being hopelessly
crippled thereby. One might easily
count, we suspect, all the merchants,
even in this great city, who hold to-
gether forty years, half that time being
sufficient here to give firm the reputa-
ton of age and extended credit.
Mr.. Shillito attributed his unusual pros
perity to dealing in cash wherever it was
practicable, and to giving personal over
SIGHT and attention to his affairs. I'm
less out of town, he spent certain num-
Der of hours every day at his establish
ment.
