What Tobacco Is Made OF.

We have heard the tobacco-user
claim that the weed was food and drink
to him, but never thoroughly believed
him until British Parliamentary re-
port on adulteration set forth the fol-
lowing schedules: "Sugar, alum. lime,
flour or meal, rhubarb leaves, saltpeter,
faller's earth, starch, malt, combings,
chromate of lead, peat, moss, molasses,
burdock leaves, common salt, endive
leaves, lampblack, gum, red dye, a
black dye composed of vegetable red
and icorice, scraps of newspaper, Gin
namon stick, cabbage leaves and straw
brown paper" This is convincing.
Not only is it food and drink, but it is
also house and land, paint shop and
literature, with drugs, condiments and
chemicals thrown in ad lib. Verify,
tobacco is potent, but little diffusive.

in these walls by the divers, and drawn
up through them by hydraulic power.
The chains thus form series of loops
like the common swing of the play
ground, in which the ship rests; and
as they are shortened in being drawn
up through the wells, the ship lifts.
The ship lifts if all be well-if the
chains do not part, or some other acct
dent occur; but the wreckers need
great patience, and sometimes they see
the labor of weeks undone in minute.
We are presupposing success, how
ever, and instead of sinking or capsiz-
ing the ship appears above the bubbling
water, and between the pontoons,
which groan and tremble with her
weight.
AS soon as her decks are above
water, so much of the cargo is removed
as is necessary to enable the divers to
reach the broken part of the hull,
which they patch with boards and can
vas if she is built of wood, or with iron
plates if she is of iron. This is the
most perilous part of the Divers work,
as there are so many projections upon
which his air-tube may catch; but he
finds it almost as easy to ply his ham,
mer and drill in making repairs under
water as on shore.
The ship is next pumped out, and
borne between the pontoons by power
full tugs to the nearest dry-dock, where
all the damages are finally repaired,
and in month or two she is once more
ahoat, with nothing to indicate her mar
row escape.-Harper's Young Folks.

refusing to perform any longer. This
affair suggested the trance at present
in progress. Directly after the " broom
stick" marriage it was proclaimed that
the younger of the laborer's daughters
had fallen into the lethargy in which
she still remains. A great noise was
made about the affair and much atten-
ton was drawn to it, especially as it
was announced that the disease Gran
in the blood" and that some day or
other, nobody could tell when, the girl
would recover her senses, speak few
words, wonderful of course, and incon-
tinently give up the ghost, all after the
fashion of her ancestors, who had been
similarly "taken." People came from
all quarters to behold, and not few of
the corners, entertained and still enter
tain the desire and hope of being pres
ent at the promised revival London

SHOOTING STARS.

Thou sayest, Shepherd, that star
Shines in the skies my fate to guide.
Yes, child. but in your darkness far -,
Thick walls of night its glimmering hide"
Shepherd, canst thou indeed divine
The secrets of the far-of spheres?
Then tell me what yon brilliant line,
Means as it shoots and disappears.
know, child whene'er mortal dies
With him his star that moment falls
This amid young and laughing eyes
While music echoed to the walls,
Fell, stricken Ifeless DER the wine
Whose praises fired his dying ears"
See yet another star, whose line
One instant CLEANS, then disappears"
Child, twas a star serene and bright,
The star of one as pure and fair;
"A maiden blithe, a spirit light,
The wedding festival prepare;
Her virgin brow with orange Irvine;
Ring, wedding bells; fall, happy tears"
" See, see, an other shooting line
That CLEANS and shines and disappears"
Weep, weep, my child such stars are rare;
He gave his wealth to feed the poor.
They CLEAN from others store, but there
They reaped harvest great and sure.
When DER the waste those home-lights shine
The wanderer forgets his fears"
:" See, see, another cleaning line
That shoots across and disappears
"Yes, tits the star of some great king.
Go, child, thy early virtue keep.
Let not thy star its glories fling
TO wake mems envy from its sleep.
With steady light burn clear, and far;
So at the end look not to hear,
''Tis but another shooting star
They shoot and CLEAN and disappear"

On the Plains.

"Do those of our citizens who, DUR
ing this bleak and cold Christmas tide,

clothed and fed ever bestow a single
y thought on those soldiers and scouts
who are camped and barracked far out
on the plains, where an extra glass of

asked of an Alta reporter by Mr.. j.
Howard Paget, scout who has been
attached to General Miles command,
and who was an eyewitness to Miles
fight with the Nez Perces on Sept.
e 30 and Oct. l, 2, 3 and 4, 1877. Mr..
Paget, or Howard" the name by
which he is known on the plains, is
fine-looking, well-built young man of
thirty or thereabout, whose hardened
sinews and bronze features bear wit
ness to the life of exposure he has fol-
lowed for the past seven years. He is
a native of Iowa, and has been in Cali
fornia nineteen years. His first visit to
the prairies was in 1873, when he took
q st. Louis party to the Black Hills; in
1875 he was driven out of the Hills by
General Crook, since which time he has
pOeen u G0VernmenU Scout.
Mr.. Paget is quiet, unassuming gen.
tleman, who, although covered with
honorable scars and wounds gained in
the service of his country, is somewhat
reticent of talking of his life on the
plains, and it required some little press
ing to induce him to converse in such q
manner that the following story might
he told. He differs also from several
of the noted scouts in that he wears his
hair short, and not in the poetical-
Iy artistic style of flowing locks droop-
ing over the shoulders.
