A Fiye.Year.Old Slave of Tobacco.

Hattie Ketchum, the ve-year-old
daughter of Andrew J. Ketchum,
farmer and tobacco grower, living about
one mile south of Weedsport, is hope
lessly addicted to the use of tobacco, and
has been so since she was two years old.
When between one and two years of age
the girl was afflicted with what is known
as wind collie, and at the suggestion of
friend, tobacco smoke was blown into
milk and given her. This remedy
proved effective, but created an uncon-
trollable desire for tobacco ana by va
rious subterluges the child has ever since
found means to satisfy her craving for
the weed Her parents, of course, re-
fuse to encourage her in the use of tobac-
co, but some of the hired men, thinking
the sight of small child smoking a cigar
very "cute,n so to speak, often granted
her request, made in appealing baby
tones for a gar" If refused the child
would steal into the tobacco shed, where
large quantities of the product are
stored, and biting off pieces of the leaves
would chew them with the relish OF a
lifelong tobacco chewer. AS a result
of this habit, a sickly pallor has spread
over the child's face, and it is likely to
ruin her health, and possibly to cause
her death. Although the parents have
done everything possible to overcome
her inclination for tobacco, the effort
has been a failure. She starts up in heI
sleep and begs for tobacco to satisfy hei
cravings.-Syrdc'tse (N ~ Standard.

An Ancient Burial Custom.

At recent meeting of the Anthropol-
ogical Society of London, Mr.. j. G. Fra
ger read paper son Certain Burial
Customs as illustrative of the Primitive
Theory of the Soul" The Romans had
a custom that when man who had been
reported to have died abroad returned
home alive, he should enter his house
not by the door, but over the roof. This
custom (Which is still observed IN PERSIA
owed its origin to certain primitive be-
liefs and customs with regard to the
dead. The ghost of an unDuried man
was supposed to haunt and modest the
living, especially his relatives. Hence
the importance attached to the burial of
the dead, and various precautions were
taken that the ghost should not return.
When the body of dead man could not
be found, he vas buried in efiigy, and
this fictitious burial was held to be sutfi
cient to lay the wandering ghost, for it
is principle of primitive thought that
what is done to the efiigy of man is done
to the man himself. London Academy.

Irrigation in EgYpt.

The ancient wealth of Egypt has ever
been in its crop of corn. AS surely as
the seasons come round, so surely has
the Nile risen year by year. From the
earliest time the valley of the Nile has
been divided by earthen embankmcnts
into a succession of great flats, measur-
ing occasionally as much as 100, 900
acres. The rising flood is diverted by
series of short canals into these flats,
where the water stands two or three feet
deep until it has soaked the soil and
deposited its rich aluvial mud. BY this
time the Nile has subsidized. The drying
mud is rudely plowcd and sown, and
four or five months after the crop is
reapcd. No RAN has fallen on it,
but the soil has been sufficiently
saturated to require no further
watering A rich crop is produced, but
by this system only one crop in the year,
and during the summer months, when,
from its latitude and temperature, one
might expect Egypt to be yielding sub
tropical fruits, the empty fields lie baked
and parched. Muhammed Ali Pasha,
whose genius and energy created modern
Egypt, soon recognized that more might
be obtained out of the soil than this one
crop of wheat or beans. He set to work,
therefore, in Lower Egypt to deepen the
canals, so that they should flow in low
as well as high Nile. His people were
not long in discovering the benefits this
conferred on them. Pumps and water
wheels soon lined the banks of the
canals. Egypt became known as a cot
ton producing country, and during the
American civil war, twenty years ago,
wealth poured into it. But this new
system was vastly more complicated
one than that which it superseded. To
suit the convenience of wealthy men
numerous canals were cut, without sys-
TEN or arrangement. Complaints soon
began that the crops were deteriorating,
that the soil was being exhausted, no
longer replenished by lying two months
year under muddy water. In many
places a salt filorescence appeared on
the surface fatal to vegetation. In high
Nile there was abundance of water for
all, but in low Nile, Just when the cotton
crop wanted it most, there was least to
be had, and then the peasants poor little
patch had every chance of being with
cred, while the pasha's broad acres were
flourishing. Worst of all, this great
network of canals was yearly filled
with Nile deposit which had yearly to
be removed, and an unpaid army of CO.,
900 peasants was employed for about
half of every year eflecting the neces-
sary clearaHces. In the long, narrow
valley of Upper Egypt, except in one
portion, the old Pharaonic system of IT.
rigation still prevails, and here the
Egyptian has little to learn. In the
delta the new cultivation with perennial
irrigation is practiced, and in this, the
richest part of the country, Lord Duffer-
in soon saw the gravest reasons for anx-
iety. A system had been created which
the people did not understand. Ignor-
ance of the most ordinary rules of engi
necring, incidence, and corruption were
fast destroying the ry.-NineteenH

SELECT SIFTINGS.

The first book printed in England was
"The Game of Chess" in 1474, written
and printed by Caxton.
The name of Cape of Good Hope was

lie writes with almost a telegrapher's
rapdity."
The term broken heart, as commonly
applied to death from excessive grief, is
not q vulgar error, but may arise from
violent muscular exercise or strong men
tai emotions. This affection was, it is
believed, first described by Harvey; but
since his day several cases have been
observed. Morgagni has recorded few
examples: Among them that of George
II. of England, who died suddenly of
this disease in 1860. and what is very
curious, Morgagni himself fell victim
to the same malady.

The bed of dweller in East India is
spread upon the floor, and for pillow is
used a sort of blanket, which is utilized
at the same time for containing the valu-
ables of the house. The covering of the
sleeper is made Of cotton. woven by
hand. There are no chairs, and the oc-
cupants sit on the floor, with crossed
legs, or in a reclining posture, with one
leg over the other. There are no musical
, instruments, no notes, no set music. The
East Indians lie down without undress-
ing, and on rising, roll up their bed and
stow it away. Their principal food is
rice, which those who are at the table
eat with the same spoon. There are nc
buildings, no desserts, and whoever is the
last to rise from the table is compelled tC
wash the dishes. Woman has scarcely

The Hat Industry.

In election times we bet hats. Do we
ever ask ourselves how the hat manufac-
ture started in this country Are we
aware that 222 years ago Virginia offered
a premium Of ten pounds of tobacco for
every good hat made of wool or fur
within her bounds We made so many
hats in America $50 years ago that the
Felt makers company, of London, pc
titioned parliament to prohibit all ex-
porta:ion of hats from the American
colonies, on the ground that New Eng
land alone was turning out 10, COO hats
year. Parliament "graciously acceded'
to the request. Consequently the Ameri-
car hats took their own course and were
glorifed Instead of being made to re-
ceive the fall of an elephant out of
third story window, they were made
light with reference to the sunshine and
the beverage which inspireth. Danbury,
in Connecticut, was making hats 1Of
years ago. AS late as 1915 all the hats
were made out of real skins. The poor old
beaver disappeared from the globe in
order to furnish mans brain with false
dome. Next the nutria had to sacrifice
himself, and the gentle muskrat was
called into requisition, and the rabbit
was drafted. The Danbury hat folks
imported rabbits to breed them artificial
w. but the free minded rabbit died or
jumped over the fence. Are you aware,
young gentlemen who have paid hat
bet but have not paid for the hat, that
the Chinese first taught us how to make
the present sort of a silk hat4 These
hats were started in this country just
fifty years ago or in 1885. A French
man in Paris put his hand on the
Chinese silk hat and stole the idea. We
are not probably aware that in nearly all
the English books the American hat is
referred to as a marvel of lightness and
style, yet it has become the habit of that
class Of young men who cannot eat dinner
up an alley without dress coat to buy
all their hats of English make, as if they
might possibly import with the hat some
corresponding brain. Kossuth had
great influence in the United States to
introduce mere the wide brimmed soft
wool hat.-NetO York Tribune.

Mustaches in Curl Papers.

THAT is one of the latest ideas in the
barber business, " remarked the proprie-
tor of large barber shop down, as he
pointed to several gentlemen with their
mustaches done up in curl papers.
THE trouble has always been to give
the nustache nice curl, but the time
in which to do it was so short that it
was impossible. At last the idea of
using papers was tried and found to be
just the thing. You see, when custo-
mer gets into chair the first
thing done is to roll the ends of his
mustache up in papers, in which condi-
ton they are left until the shaving and
combing has been completed, when they
are taken out of the papers, and found
to have fine curl "-NeW York. Sun.

have the consolation of knowing it was
by good man."
But Arbuthnot was right. A great
many of the opposition did vote for Mr..
Scott. The wound he had received,
moreover, awoke general sympathy, and
so brought him votes. He had in the
district a majority of five hundred,
which elected him.
When the returns were all in, and
Webster knew positively that ne was de-
feated, he came to Sylvia with smiling
face.
81 am beaten" he said bravely. "But
| shall count my loss as little if you will
only renominate me as your husband"
She looked at him with shining eyes
and held out her hand with sweet i'm
pulsiveness.
"You are elccted-bv an overwhelm-
ing majority" she said, softly.
lie took her in his arms and politics
were nowhere.
"1But | think that / ought to ask you
to forgive me, she said at length. "You
have behaved beautifully, dear; and
am proud of you-if-you do belong to
the opposition. think every man has
a right to his convictions, provided they
are generous, and-and-if Il man has IL
taste Tor poitics--a real taste mean
of course he can't be blamed for"
Here she was spared the necessity for
further humiliation for Webster stopped
her mouth with kisses.
The second year of their marriage,
Arbuthnot was again nominated for Con-
gress, and ran so much better than the
candidate of the popular party that he
polled a higher majority than any candi-
date who ever ran in that district.

TRUE WORTH.

By the pleasant fire they sat one night,
Husband and wife alone,
And they talked of the changes they had
seen,
And of how the years had flown;
OF the sons now scattered far and near,
And the daughters wooed and wed;
fWere only two in the house once more,
Oh, Mary, my wife he said.
"When we were alone forty years ago,
So young, and happy, and poor,
There wasn't a prettier girl than you,
Nor better one, l am sure
lpromised you then I'd make you ric
II you'd only share my life;
Tn worth million pounds to-dayi
A million of money, dear wifel"
"How much am 1 WORTH" she, smiling
asked
He looked in her tender face;
He looked in her eyes, then closed his own,
And thought for little space.
"You are worth the life I've spent with you,
You are worth its richest joys;
You are worth more gold than can be told
You are worth my girls and boys.
"You are worth the years that are yet to
come;
You are worth the world to me;
Oh, Mary there is not gold enough
To say what you are worth to mel"
"Well, dear, was worth the world to you
More than forty years ago;
A million is but bagatele
To the whole wide world, you know.
$50, then, we have never been poor at all;
Now isn't it nice to know
That you were million Millionaire
More than forty years ago.
We were happy then, we we are happy now,
SO tell me the difference, Frankl'
at isn't much,n he said with a smile;
1--WE gathered million from the pile,
And locked it up in bank"

LOVE AND POLITICS.

DO you know" said Sylvia, with
restless movement of her pretty peacock
fan, 81 am really unhappy this morning"
Webster Arbuthnot leaned over with
look of such obvious devotion that
third party, if there had been any such
a disagrecable person present, could not
possibly have doubted his hopeless in
fatuation.
"Tell me all about it, )" he said posses
sing himself Of the hand nearest him.
"What is it that troubles my darlingl"
Sylvia's sunny head dropped ON his
shoulder.
Papa is going to run for Congress, :"
she said, d sconsolatcly but was quite
unmindful of the start her lover gave.
"We always have such disagreeabe
time when pa is running for an office.
Oh, Webster" (sighing), latter we are
married. hope you will never take to
politics"
Webster got up quickly.
81 am sorry you don't like it, Sylvia, "
he began, in nervous way. But sud-
den burst of music from brass band
broke off his speech abruptly.
at is a parade, Sylvia cried excitedly,
springing to the window as the band at
the head of body of delegates, turned
the corner.
Webster followed her reluctantly. He
had grown suddenly pale.
"Sylvia," he said hurriedly. "I-"
at is the opposition" she interrupted.
"See, There is the banner "We want
reform, and we have secured it by the
nomination for Congress
Sylvia gasped.

cally, freeing herself from his embrace.
"Those honOrs usually are thrust upon

"And no doubt you expect to defeat

is astounding"
Don't be angry, darling. | am sorry

piled, Struggling her shoulders. ~ hav
no desire to hamper you in any way

Webster drew back and looked a
her. Her tall figure was drawn up t
its full height, her eyes flashed, and h
knew by the naughty curl of her prou
lips that she was both earnest and angry
"As you will" he replied, taking hi
