Tobacco's History.

NtsNTn AouaCoo JOurual
Ever since the memorable day that
Nicola Menardes discovered the seduc-
tive virtues of tobacco-soon after the
plant had been first introduced to
Europe by Gonzalo Hernandez de
Oviedo-it has rapidly grown in popu.
larity and is now consumed as luxury.
in various forms, in all civilized and
most barbarous countries. The uni
versatility of its use Is perhaps attribut-
able, in a great measure, to the noto-
riety it received from the conspicuous
efforts that were made to suppress il.
Two popcs-Urban VIII. and Innocent
XI.-solemnly condemned it. In Tur-
key, where the weed became very much
esteemed by the people, the sultan is
sued frman in which he declared
smoking to be a crime, and he decreed
that all persons convicted of it should
be punished by having their pipes
thrust through their noses; a penalty
that might invovle either slight scar
or certain death, according to the pleas
ure of the officer who executed it. In
Russia, too, the car was resolved that
his subjects should not become demon
allied by this novel dissipation, and the
more effectually to accomplish this OBJ
ject. he ordered that the nose should be
cut of every man, woman or child
found with tobacco Even a monarch
of England condescended to exhibit his
literary attachments and his philanthro.
py in an elaborate warning against the
evil which he addressed to his people.
King James l., in a royal effusion that
WAS significantly entitled a Counter
blaste to Tobacco" very Justify de-
nounced its use as "a custom loathsome
to the eye, hateful to the nose. harminp
to the brain, dangerous to the lungs,

But this is not all. Strange and al

appear. the general assembly Of Con.

A good story is told of William Penn
in connection with this subject. While
he was travelling In Vermont he hap
pened 10 60 into a company of fellow
religionists. nearly all of whom were
smoking As they all knew his bitter
aversion 10 the use Of tobacco, they re

A Forest Scene Beside the Amazon

A Forest Scene Beside the Amazon.
Oswald In st. Nicholas for August
On the third evening after our de-
parture from Bogota, we encamped on
the banks of the Rio Patamayo Ia trib.
utary of the Amazon), in a grove of
majestic adansonias, or monkey fig
trees. High over our heads we heard
an inceSsant granting and chattering,
but the evening was too far advanced
for us to distinguish the little creatures
that moved in the top branches of the
tall trees. The next morning, however,
the noise recommended, and we saw
that the grunters were sort of small
raccoons, and the chatterers troop of
naOn0S, or capuchin monkeys.
After a consultation with the Indi-
ans, we fastened our monkey, Billy, to
string, and made him 60 up the tree
as high as we could drive him without
betraying our presence to his Relatives.
We had no traps for catching them, but
our plan was to let them come near
enough for us to shoot one of the moth
ers without hurting her babies. Billy's
rope, as we had expected, got entangied
before long, and, finding himself at the
end of his tether, he began to squeal,
and his cries soon attracted the atten-
ton of his friends in the tree-top. We
heard rustling in the branches, and
presently an old ring-tail made his ap-
pearance, and, seeing a stranger, his
chattering at once brought down a
troop of his companions, mostly old
mails, though. Mother-monkeys with
babies are very shy, and those in the
tree-top seemed to have some idea that
all was not right.
Their husbands, though, came near
er and nearer and had almost reached
Billy's perch, when all at once their
leader slipped behind the tree like a
lodging squirrel, and at the same mo-
ment we heard from above a fierce,
long drawn scream; harpy-eagle was
clrcling around the tree-top, and COM
ing down with sudden swoop, he
seized one luckless mother-monkey,
that had not found time to reach a
hiding-place. The poor thing held on
to her branch with all her might.
knowing that her life and her baby's
were at stake, but the eagle caught her
by the throat and his throttling clutch
at last made her relax her grip, and
with single flop of his mighty wings,
the happy raised himself some twenty
feet, mother, baby, and all. Then we
witnessed most curious instance of
maternal devotion and animal in
stinct-unless should call it presence
of mind; when branch after branch
slipped from her grip and all hope was
over, the mother with her own hands
tore her baby from her neck and flung
it down into the tree, rather than have
it share the fate she knew to be in
store for herself. stood up and fired
both barrels of my gun after the rob.
Der, but without effect; the rascal al.
ready had assembled to a height of at
least two hundred feet, and he flew off,
with his victim dangling from between
his claws.

HOUSEHOLD NOTES.

To PRESERVE CUT FLoWRRs.-A
small quantity of the nitrate OF soda

changed, will preserve cut flowers fol

BLACKBERRY SYRUP.-Make a sim.

pint Of water, boil it until it is rich and
thick; then add it to as many pints OF
the expressed juice of ripe blackberrie:
as there are pounds of sugar; put hall
nutmeg grated. to each quart of the

remnant of the poison however small
let the white of an egg, or teaspoon,
full of strong coffee be swallowed as soon
as the stomach is quiet, as these articles
nullify a large number of virulent
poisons.
COOKING SWEET CORN.-As this lux
ury is just in season, it is well to avail
ourselves of every style of cooking it to
make it relish as a table dish. 1t is
good simply boiled in the old fashioned
way, but far more delicious to shave
the kernels from the cob with a SHARP
knife, put three pints of the corn into
preserving kettle, with a quart OF
water, and let it boil fifteen minutes
taking care to stir it frequently; then
add piece of butter the size of an egg
a tablespoonful of salt and pint OF
milk; stir well and bring to boil
then dish up in saucers for the table
1t is just delightful! Another nice dish
from sweet corn is to crate off the ker
nels from the cob (six good sized ears
are enough; make custard of three
pints of milk, two well-beaten eggs
three large spOonfuls of sugar and 9
small lump of butter; stir the grated
corn into the dish; and stir often while
cooking. 1t makes delicate pudding
1t takes an hour and a half to bake
and is a pleasant variety for a dinner
dish.
