THE wIrCHrNG WEED
Something about the History Of Cheering
and Smoking.
From the PittSburv Dispatch

Something A6out the History of ChetrinG
and Smoking.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
Cigars were not known until about 1915.
Previous to that time pipes were used exclu-
sively.
Chewing had been in vogue to limited
extent for some time, while shutting dates
back almost as far as smoking.
The first package sent TO Catharine de Me-
dici was in fine powder. She found that
smelling it in the box affected her similarly
to smoking which led her to fill one of her
smelling bottles with the dust. Her courtiers
adopted the habit of snufiing small portions
Of ii up the nostrils and as the precious stuff
became more plentiful the snufflng habit be-
came more general, until at last a man or
woman was not considered as in proper form
unless they snulfed.
The custom became so common in Eng
land that suufT-boX was no longer a sign
of rank. Then it was the law prohibiting the
culture Of the plant, except for medicine, was
passed About the same time heavy tariff
was placed ON the imported article, thereby
practically placing it beyond the reach Of the
common herd and giving royalty complete
monopoly.
Since it first began to be used as luxury
there have been conflicting opinions in re-
gard to its effects. The Rpmish Church o o,
forbade its use and the Church of England
detained against it.
The Wesleys opposed 1t holly, and at one
time it was considered so unclean as to un-
fit men for membership in the Methodist
Church.
Baptist and Presbyterian ministers preach
ed against it. and societies were organized to
oppose the spread of the habit, but all 10 no
purpose. Pareuts disowned and disinherited
their children because they used II, and hus-
bands divorced their wives on account Of
their Ia wing contracted to habit Of smoking
1t is singular that when women get iuto
the haoit Of smoking pipe they prefer q
strong one.
There are few men who have nerve enough
to smoke pipe such as woman likes when
she has become confirmed smoker. When
they first begin putting cigars they prefer
them very mild, but it is lot long until they
want them black and strong and lots of them.

Mr. JOHNSON, OF Minneapolis, In his talk
with GLOBE reporter, gives very good rea-
s0n why the Swedcs aud Scandluavians may

the near future. These people came here to
enjoy liberty aud the blessings OF young

They were educated to look upon the Demo
cratic party as the enemy Of the govern ment
whose blessings they sought, and eouse-
qucntly attached themselves to the Re publ
can party. Now that under the administra-
ton Of Mr.. CLEVELAND they will End Drmoc-

that has ever been the true friend Of foreign

PHIL SHERIDAN.
Ho,V the General LooI:s in These Piping
TtHIrs Of Peace.


ItHIes Of Peace.
I saw the general Of the army, P. 2. Sheri-
dan, come into the Ebbitt house the other
evening" to make call, writes the Washing
ton correspondent of the New York World.
He stopped moment in the rotuhda to talk
to some friends. A group of military officers
immediately gathered around him. strau-
ger would never have selected him as their
communicative A more unmilitary-
looking man never lived, in civilians dress.
He needs his uniform. Most Of the officers
about him we're in civilians dress also, but
there vas hardly one of them who did not
wear some outward sign of his military char
acter Sheridan is very short, and each year
seems to add to the rOtundity OF his pudgy
figure. When l saw him in the lobby he
wore upon the back of his round, bullet head,
very slim, high, old-fashioned silk hat Of a
style that was very popular about the time OF
the close of the war. 1t was about two sizes
too small His short, irongray hair stood
out from under the rim of his hat at nearly
right angles with it. His red, weather-beaten
face does not show any new lines OF advance
ing age, but his grizzly, irons musta:he
and imperial are whitening very fast. he

had only five buttons, and they were nearly
ready to fly of from the undue strain of
SAeridan's round figure. The coat, like the
hat, appeared to have been long outgrown.
She trousers were Il gray plaid and fitted very
snugly to the generals fat legs. His boots
were thck-soed and uublacked He wore
no gloves The side and rear views of the
general suggested low-eomedy man who
had walked off the stage all made up for a
funny part, but when you came to look at the
general square in the face, its stern, solemn,
composed lines were enough to make one
forget his grotesque figure and careless dress.
He is very popular in Washington, but be is
not as popular as Mas Gen. Sherman with the
ladies. He is fonder OF staying at home than
he is of going about in society. He takes
more pleasure in paying attention to his own
wife than to other mems wives. Until he
reforms in this particular he will never ac-
quire what might be called great popularity
in society. 1t will be ten years before Sheri-
dan can be retired. As the time is so far
ahead, il is not worth while TO speculate as to
his successor. When he goes out, the rank
of lieutenant general will go with him. The
highest rank after this will be that OF major
general.

THE cRBJM OF THE FxpOsTTToN.

THE GRE I'M OF THE EXPOSIT1ON.
The GLOBE on yesterday called the atten-
ton of Minnesota farmers to the necessity OF
diversifyng their agricultural interests OF
the state as the surest method OF regulating
the trouble of transportation. In support OF
this suggestion we clip to-day, and publish
In another column of the GLOBE, an article
from the New Orleans TINES Democrat, the
official organ Of the exposition, in which the
merit of Minnesota butter is established.
Our butter product was brought into compe-
tition with the same product from all sec
tons of the Union, and after severe test
was awarded the highest honor. The IifneS-
Democrat very intelIigcntly presents the rea-
sons why Minnesota can produce the best
butter in the world, possessing all the con-
ditious in water, climate, grains ana grasses
for superior butter making. 1t is not only
matter of ngratulatlon to the dairynen oil
the state and source of pride to her people
that Minnesota has carried Oil the
sweepstake prize in this department,
but it is suggestive Of a future source
of wealth to the farming classes.
There is but little doubt that the experience
Of few years more will demonstrate that
creamery is more valuable than wheat
farm, if the success of our dairynen is not
already convincing proof of this fact. The
fact that the butter product Of this state has
grown to the proportion of thirty millions Of
pounds annually. within the last FIVE years,
gives US a rank alongside Of those older states
that have for years been giving special at
tentlon to the dairy business, and the addi-
ti0ual fact that while yet but stripping in
this department, Minnesota has eclipsed all
her competitors In the CONTEXT at the great
international exposition, it can be set down
with absolute certainty that in a few years,
with proper encouragement, the state will
attain gigantic proportions in the butter
making industry.
An additional encouragement to Mime
sofa farmers to engage more actively in the
dairy business. at this time, is the suggestion
made by the GLOBE Of yesterday, that rail-
roads cannot extort on that class Of freight
and the butter production cannot be crushed
by com binations Of millers and warehouse
men.
