Revenue from Patent Medicine.

The board of inland revenue chuckled
a good deal in their just published an
nual report about the growth of the
revenue from patent medicines. They
observe that "the increase under the
head of patent medicine stamps is con-
siderable, as usual, and shows how these
medicines continue to gain in public
favor" This may be a subject for con-
graduation by the inland revenue, but
it may well be doubted how far the
growing habits of the population to re-
sort to these quack remedies is beneficial
to the nation at large.
Twenty years ago there were only II,
500 patent medicine vendors in the king
dom, and only $500, 900 of labels issued,
yielding 10000 pounds sterling to the
revenue. In ten years more, viz, 1876,
the vendors had increased to 1902, and
nearly 100000 labels were issued,
yielding 123,0 900 pounds sterling. Now
there are 20,279 vendors, and 81, 500, 600
of labels were issued during last year,
welding ~ income to the government OF
10000 pc nds sterling. Obviously, the

Tobacco Smoking in Persia.

The tobacco used in the ghalzan il
called "tumbekee," 10 distinguish it
from the "futun," or tobacco or the Chi
bouk. 1t is raised in three grades. The
best comes from Shiraz, the next best
from lspahan, and the cheapest and
least good from Resht. The latter pro-
duces a disagreeable tickling sensation
in the throat and is rather rank. But
the Shiraz tobacco Costing in Persia
about 20 cents pound), is a most de-
licious variety of the weed, strong and
mild at the same time, of delicious fra
GRANGE and very peculiar but pleasant
taste. In the lower grades of tumbekee
some opium is admixed and this with
the inveterate smokers produces along
in the afternoon a sort of narcosis, called
by them "keff;" that is, the state of
great attainable well being, of tranquil
lily (the Persian has the same word for
bliss, joy. happiness and tranquility.
Many Persians will make forty to fifty
ghalzans day; that is they will gener-
ally only smoke up half the tobacco in
the silver cup that holds it on top of the
bottle-shaped ghalzans, throwing the
otner halt away, as IL is usually lnpreg-
mated with nicotine. These pipes are
kept exceeding clean, a remarkable fact
in country where even the highest are
quite filthy to our notion. In the house
holds of the we'll to-do one of the high
est servants is the ghalzandar pipe
bearer, whose exclusive duties is to
clean the pipes and keep his master sup
piled with fresh ones. The ladies, too,
smoke the ghalzan a great deal, both
those of high and low rank. l have
seen ladies from the shah's andaroun
stop on the high road in their carriages
by q wayside inn and have half a dozen
ghalzans brought to them, the eunuchs
and servants meanwhile blocking the
way to all other passers -by.-Cor. San

first, second and fifth heats, in 2:19 81,
2 10 l-2, and 2:2l -. Patchen made "A

VICTOR HUeo's BODILY WeoR.
A Trial of the Poets Eyesight-when He
Began to Grow Deaf.

Began to Grow Deaf
Hugo had not only strong, healthy
intellect. but also a sound body. Toward
the end of his life he grew deaf, so that
it became real iniirmity. But other
wise he preserved all his faculties,
physical and mental up to his last ill
ness. NJ. Ulbach records several examples
of Victor Hugo's bodily vigor. When
writing up Notre Dame of Paris he used
often to go twice day up to the top of
the tower. In the evening he was gen.
orally accompanied by friends.
"On one of these occasions, writes NJ.
Ulbach, Victor Hugo was gazing with
delight at the purple hues of the setting
sun, turning his piercing little eyes in the
| direction OF the Arsenal library, which is
long distance off. i see Charles Mo
der on his balcony, he remarked care
lessly to his friends; he ism t alone. there
are two ladies with him-one of them is
his daughter, but the other | do not
know. Notwithstanding their respect
for the poet, and their knowledge of his
wonderful visual powers, the little group
INDUCED in an inCredulous smile. But
when. an hour later. they called on Mo-
der they were astonished to find that
Victor Hugo's eyes had deceived
neither them nor him. once
asked the poet if this story was
substantiated it with this one When in
college he used to attend lectures on
physics in the medical school. One day
the professor wished to try some expert
ment in optics, and invited the students
to 60 with him to the roof of the build

the direction of the Garden of Plants.
He then asked the young men to read a
distant sign which seemed undecipherable
to the naked eye. Victor Hugo happened
to be the first who was called upon.

scope he said; L can make out the sign.
1t reads: Chantier du Cardinal-Le-
moine.
In fact his excellent cvesight stood him
instead when he began to grow deaf.
"He saw so well. SAYS our biographer,
"that he seemed to hear everything. and
when he asked that a phrase be repeated

guessed correctly than to satisfy the de-
mands of his deaf ear. A few months

Novel Application of Electricity.

A novel application of electric power
has just been made on the estate of the
marquis of Salisbury, at Hatfield. y
Gramme machine, driven by water
power half mile distant, has been at
tached to a thrashing machine, and the
result is stated to be highly successful, a
regular, rapid and noiseless power being
obtained, together with a great saving
of cost. To effect temporary stoppage
of the machine, if necessary, it has been
arranged that the current from the leads
can be turned from the Gramme ma
chine into cluster of Swan lamps, SC
that short break in the operations does
not necessitate any communication with
the source OF power or stoppage of regu-
lar working, while at the same time il

rent is running. Chicago Herald.

Nutriment in Ordinary Food.

In the tables prepared by Professor O.
w. Atwater for Carroll d. Wright, the
chief of the national bureau of labor sta
tistics, it is shown that for given value
in money there is only 30 per cent. of
nutriment obtained from porterhouse
steak, while the same sum expended in
beef neck will yield % per cent. of nutri-
ment. Salt pork affords the greatest
amount of nutroise, the yield being 90
per cent. Among the fish tested fresh
salmon gives the smallest amount of nu-
triton, the percentage of nutriment be-
ing .06. Mackerel, salt cod, and smoked
herring give the largest amount of nu-
triton, the herring giving more than
any other, 1.21 per cent. The most ex-
pensive dairy food is butter, which only
returns 70 per cent. of nutriment. 1t is
from vegetables that the best expend-
ture of money is obtained. Flour at
cents per pound yields return of : %
per cent in nutriment, while in the orjn-
airy bakers bread the amount of nutri-
ton was only 2.0S per cent
The difference is explained by the
fact that a great saving is made In the
cost of bread, or the amount which one
can get for % cents when it is made at
home. Then, again, the flour used in the
average household is one cheaper in
price, but one which contains more nu-
tritive values than the extremely white,
high-priced flour which is used by the
baker. This is proved by the analysis
made of bread which costs s cents per
pound and that which only costs 1
cents. In the former instance the
amount of nutrition obtained was. as
said before, 2Os per cent, and in the
latter instance 4.15 per cent, or twice
as much for an expenditure of half the
money. Dat meal returns 4. As per cent.
of nutriment, and potatoes $50 per cent

DANIEL LAMBERT STILL FIRST.

We note that Gen. Withers in his new
catalogue claims that Happy Medium
has more performers in the , 80 list than
any other living sire, stating the number
to be twenty-nine. We call attention to
the fact that Flora Huff, that gained a
record of 2 20 IA in October last, was the
twenty-ninth trotter of the get of Daniel
Lambert to enter the 2 80 list, not to
mention the trotting gelding, Fred, which
is credited to Daniel Lambert by Chester.
Two of Happy Mediums performers are
PAGERS; and thus Daniel Lambert enjoys
the distinction of being the sire of two
more two-thirty trotters than any other
living sire. Happy Medium stands sec
ond, with twenty-seven, and Volunteer
third, with twenty-six so far as yet ascer-

This habit has grown to be common in
our large cities, where men live at "A dis
lance from their business places, and,
therefore, take a light lunch every day
during the week. When Sunday comes
they have leisure for breakfast, and little
exercise during the forenoon; then have
a royal dinner at 2 O'Clock, and perhaps
lazy lounging and Lying Off, as it is
called, during the afternoon; they thus
eat twice as much on Sunday as they do
other days. The appetite is just as good
as it would be if they were engaged in
their ordinary occupations, but the
needs of the system are not half so
great when a person is idle as when he is
actively or laboriously engaged in bust
ness, and the result is that Monday is a
blue day to very many. 1t is a day of
headaches and ill feeling, and by Wednes-
day, perhaps, they get back into the nor
NAL track again, and by Saturday are
ready for another stuffing on Sunday.
We believe that dyspepsia in city men
originates, in nine cases out Of ten, in the
practice of overeating and taking little
exercise on Sunday. - chronological
