In report lately published in
France on the tobacco trade, q gov
ernment monopoly, some curious
statistical facts are stated. In the
first place, the greatest number of
snuff takers are found in the de-
partments which surround Paris,
four of these departments heading
the list with a consumption per
head OF between three-quarters of a
pound and one. pound. The de.
paftments in which the practice ia
carried on the least are Doubs, Ply.
rennes Orientales, Nord, Haul
Rhin and Haut Savoie, where the
consumption per head is only one
quarter of a pound. The singular
thing Is that NOrd and Haul Rim
are two out of the three depart.
ments in which smoking il most
universal, the average consump-
ton in this particular form reach
ing as high as four pounds per
head. 1t would seem, therefore,
from these statistics, that snufiing
and smoking GO, in France, at all
events, in inverse proportion to
each other. 1t Is mentioned also,
incidentally, that the departments
which most encourage snuff TAX
ing are those in which the most
cider Is drunk. France, after all,
is not such q nation of tobacco con.
su mers as she Is generally believed
to be; for she Is surpassed In the
annual consumption per head by
the United States, where 1t is six
pounds, the Netherlands, Belgium,
Switzerland, Hungary, Germany,
Sweden and Russia.

Queer Industries in New York.

The investigations of the census
men have led to some queer devel-
ment in the manufactures of New
York and adjoining cities. The
largest single industry in New
York is that of custom made
clothes. The making of paper pat
terms employs hundreds of hands,
and, ten large houses being en-
gagged in it, uses tons of paper.
There are factories for making
dried blood, the DUN mics that mill
liners use to show dresses on, the.
atrlcal armor and jews.harps. The
use of adulterating substances is
getting to be general. "Castile
soap" is made of grease and terra
alba, or white earth, and which
earth is used largely in candy
making. Glucose, which is corn
starch, is used heavily by the sugar
refiners. There is a firm engaged
In making honey and honey comb
The honey comb is made by ma
chinery of paraf1lne wax, and is an
exact imitation of the regular
thing, except that the bees fashion
their cells OF walls only 1.25th OF
an inch wide, while human arti-
ficers have not yet become that
deft. The cells are filled with
glucose, which is the sweet syrup
