Facts About Tobacco.

The ENJOYS of Christopher Colum-
bus to Guahani (San Salvador) were
certainly the first Europeans &C.
0uainted with the use of smoking
tobacco. The plant smoked by the
Indians Of Guahani was called by
them conibG, but they called their
pipe tabaco, and Columbus gave the
pipe's Indian name to the plant, the
right spelling being tabaco (Spanish)
and tobacco Italian). The French
pronunciation has varied between
to6ac sud tGbac, the latter prevailing !;
and the German between tabak, tebGk
and tubak. The form tobak, tobac,
tobacco is from the Flemish to,t-
bake, Tobacco was introduced to
Europe about 1860 by Dutch mer-
chant, who offered the plant to John
Nicot. French Envoy to Portugal.
Nicot presented the plant to the great
inquieitur, and ct his return to France
to Queen Catherine de Medicis, who
took an immediate fancy to it. The
'spetun," as the plant had
been called by the Bra
xillian smokers, received for a
time the poetical name of "herbe q
Ia reine," !" and was adopted with en-
thusiasm by the gentry and army.
John Nicot (hence nicotiana tabaca.na,
nicotiama, etc., had, before leaving
Lisbon, informed the papal nuncio,
Cardinal Saint Grove, of the new
new discovery. Cardinal Saint
Grove introduced tobacco to
Italy, and the Italian merchants in
troduced it to the countries of the
East, especially to Athens, Smyrna
and Constantinople. 1t seems, how
ever, that tobacco was used for smok-
ing in Persia and China three or foui
centuries before the discovery Of
America. (Pallas, Meyer, etc., who
write that the Chinese yellow tobacco
il the same as the American nicotian0
rsst;c0.) As to the smokers in the
Thousand and One Nights" it seems
impossible to ascertain if they smoked
hasheesh, American or Persian to.
bacco. The botanist, Neander, thinks
that the Persian and Dutch merchants
have an equal right to claim the honol
of the invention.-[Notes and Queries
