That part OF the annual report OF the
Commissioner Of Internal Revenue which
deals with tobacco and its products pre-.
sents materials Tor an interesting study.
First Of all there is an increasing revenue
derived from this source Notwithstanding
the reduced rates oftaxation. In the past
fiscal year the collections amounted to
SEQ, AGO. 900, more than a fifth OF the entire
aum realized by internal taxation. In the
year we produced lO2,s3l, 42s pounds Of
manufactured tobacco and snuiI, and Of
this exported l9,0S4yel5 pounds. The in.
creased production as compared with 1884
was 7,907, 76l pounds, Of which increase
1,418, 4l2 popndswere exported.
Cigars and cigarettes being given by
count instead Of weight, the figures, as
will be imagined, make a long line.
When we are dealing with Thousands Of
millions we can afford to sacrifice some
Of the right hand figures for sake Of con-
venienco and intelligibility. We smoked
$3.50 million cigars and about third as
many cigarettes, or 1850 millions. II We
lump the cigar. and cigarettes and ap.
portion them toa population Of 81, 900, 900
We shall find that each man, woman and
child smoked In the year.754, and in the
proportion Of two cigars to one cigarette.
True, some Of the children and some Of
the women did notBmoke last year, which
throws an increased responsibility on
those who did smoke.
There we're 1851 million pounds Of snuff
used in this country, so that the women
who were mot smoking were not neces-
sarily shirldng their shAre Of the support

Words Of Wisdom.

r
The rays of happiness. like those
iof light, are coiorless when unbro'
ken.
An open mind, an open hand and
an open heart will find everywhere
an open door.
Count on the fidelity Of the man
who carries his heart in his hand
and wears his soul in his lace.
Cheerfulness is an excellent wear.
ing quality, 1t has been called the
bright weather of The heart.
Incidence is a sort Of suicide,
for the nan is efficiently destroyed,
though the appetite of the brute may
survive.
The surcst way Of governing
both in private family and q king
dom, is for a husband ard a prince
sometimes to drop their preroga
tires.
1t is little the sign of a wise or
good man to suffer temper ance to be
transgressed in order to purchase
the repnte of a generous entertainer.
Useful kno Wedge can have no
enemies except the ignorant, it
cheri-hes youth, delights the aged,
is an ornament in prosperity, and
yields comfort in adversely.
As they, who Cor every Sigh,
infrmity axe pbysic to repair the!:
health, do rather impair il; go they
who for every trihe, are eager to
vindicate their character, do rather
weaken it.
CHEEKY men, and women are stron.
ger men and women. They do more.
They age less carry no useless
burdens, and avoid much friction.
Their faces are known and read of
all men, and what a joyous, health
giving tale they tell.
The tone Of good company is
marked by the absence of PERSONAL
ties. Among we'll informed per.
sons there are plenty of topics to
discuss, without giving pain - any
one present-without submitting TO
act the part Of butt, or of that
poorer creature, the wag that plays
upon him.

The Chicago Mail thinks that
there are a few northern repub-
licans journals that are entirely too
good for this earth,' because they
do not admire Mahone's methods in
Virginia. The Mail says:
Muhonc's methods with patronage are just the
same as The other methods employed by other
republican senators when that party was in
power. They were just the same methods" ms
those employed by the sanity appearing Sena,

Madison Democrat, The leading dem

that reasonably high license law is
not unjust, but both right and prop

is good democratic doctrine to levy
taxes upon as few articles rs posi-
