Something About Tobacco.

The botanical specific name and
the common name comefrom tobago
or Tobacco, the native term III Santo
Domingo for the tube or pipe
through which the smoke of the
burning leaves was inhaled Tobac-
co is largely produced in China. Jap
an, Persia and other parts of the
East, IN some of which the plant has
become so thoroughly naturalized
that an Eastern origin has been
sometimes claimed for it, but AL
phonse lie Caudolle, after thorough
study of the subject, finds no salts
factory evidence that its uses and
culture were anywhere known before
the discovery of America. The first
European cultivation of tobacco
took placein Portugal in the early
part of the sixteenth century; it was
raised in France in 1872. The cul-
ture rapidly extended to other parts
of Europe and Asia, in some cases
being checked by severe laws or
made useful as a source of rev.
enue. Its production in England by
a law of 1860 was restricted to j
small quantity for medicinal pur-
poses, and the prohibition still re-
mains in force. The various kinds OF
foreign tobaccos are known by the
countries producing them or the
ports whence they are shipped, such
as Havana, 0rinoco, Turkey Latakia,
Shirog, &c. The Turkish and other
kinds from the East are only used
cut fine for pipes or granulated for
cigarettes. Manila tobacco is inn
ported only in form of peculiar con-
zeal cigars called cheroots. Very
fine tobacco is produced in Paraguay.
A large amount of tobacco is used to
manufacture snuff. Snuff is much
more largely consumed in Great Brit
ain and France than in the United
States. Besides smoking, chewing,
&c, tobacco is used for various med
icinal purposes. Its power of caus.
ing relaxation to the nervous system
is great. 1t is recommended in arti-
cular govt, rheumatism and neuralgia,
and the toothache is often relieved
by smoking a cigar The annual ex-
port of tobacco from the United
States exceeds S30,000,000.

/
From the New York Sun.
One lovely and illustrious old maid
has become wife. She is Elizabeth
Stuart Phelps, authoress of many
exquisite religious hooks, one oi
which is the famous Coates Aiar.' y
She also wrote "Old Maids Paradise, .
and was regarded by her friends as
confirmed by choice in single blessed
ness. Marriage had certainly been
optional with her ever since her girl
hood, but she habitually declared she
would never wed. Nevertheless she
is the bride of Herbert ID. Ward.
There is little story to tell about
that. The bridegroom is the son of
Rev. William Hayes Ward, editor of
the Independent. s'Last winter the
senior Ward took up Miss Phelps
latest book carelessly," said this in
formant, '.as he sat in his sanctum,
and glanced over it's pages. He inn
mediately became interested, and
kept on reading to the neglect of
more important duties, until the time
came for him to go home. He walked
to the South Ferry with his mind still
absorbed in,what he had read, and he
was so distracted with it that, in
crossing the crowed street to get to
the ferry entrance, heallowed himself
to be run over by heavy truck and
very badly injured. Some of his ribs
We're broken and for day or two his
life was considered in danger. The
driver who had run him down was
arrested, but DIR Ward declared that
no blame attached to him.
1t was altogether my own fauit,
he said. My mind was engrossed
with something else than taking care
of my body just then orit wouldn't
have happened
when the season OF outing came
around. DR.. Ward was barely con-
yalescing, and his son took him on
ayachting cruise. They stopped at
Gloucester, Mass, near which Miss
Phelps had a summer residence and
the neighborhood of which she had
long before stirred up immensely by
her story of Jack, in which the
people thereabonts were described
and not altogether agreeably. The
Wards visited Miss Phelps, getting
an introduction through Il friend
and at the earnest desire of DIR.
Ward, who had become greatly in
terested in the authoress through a
perusal OF her works while recover
ing from the accident which she had
indirectly caused All through the
past summer the Wards hung about
Gloucester, and it became apparent
to observers that this was due to the
son rather than to the father. Al
though the former was hardly thirty
live years old and Elizabeth Stuart
Phelps is something like fifty, their
relations took on an unmisthkable
aspect of courtship. The result was
the marriage ceremony at the
Phelps seashore cottage. East Glou-
cester, a short time ago"

Where The Colors Come From.

''The cochineal insects furnish a
great many of the very fine colors, =
said an artist recently to reporter
for the New York Mail and Express.
Among them are the gorgeous car.
mine, the crimson, scarlet carmine,
and purple lakes. The cutie fish
gives the sepia. 1t is the inky fluid
which the fish discharges in order to
render the water Opaque when at
tackled; Indian yellow comes from
the camel. Ivory chips produced the
ivory black and hone black. The
exquisite Prussian blue is made by
fusing horses hoofs and other refuse
animal matter with impure POTASH
um carbonate. This color was dis
covered accidentally. Various lakes
are derived from roots, barks, and
gums. Blue-black comes from the
charcoal of the vine stalk. Lamp
black is SCOT from certain resinous
substances. Turkey red il made
from the madden plant, which grows
in Hindostan. The yellow sap of a
tree of Siam produces gamboge: the
natives catch the sap in cocoanut
shells. Raw sienna is the natural
earth from the neighborhood ofSien-
ma, Italy Raw lumber is also an
earth found near Umbrin and burnt.
India ink is made from burnt cam
phor. The Chinese are the only man
ufacturers OF this ink, and they will
not reveal the secret OF it's manufac.
ture. Mastic is from the gum of the
mastic tree, which grows in the Gre
clan Archipelago Blister is the SCOT
of wood ashes. Very little real uIta-
marine is found in the market. 1t is
obtained from the precious lapisia-
2nlli. and commands q fabulous price.
Chinese white is zine, scarlet is iodine
of mercury, and native vermilIion is
from the quicksilver ore called CHINA
bar"

Only a Jnggler,s Trick.

Japan Correspondence st. Louis Globe
The lights were turned low, and
while a rough cross of poles was be-
ing set up the general played wild
diseords on a weary old melodeon,
and his orderly worked an ancient
accordion. A rack was brought out,
and later two women were brought
on and bound the one to the cross and
the other to the rack The general
dosed them with something, appar-
emily chlorofOrm; played another
weird tune, and then in the most
professional way used the stetho-
scope. This scientific testing OF the
patients heaFt-beats took the Japa-
csc part of the audience. The ex-
Element deepened. After That the
General took a sword and apparent
~ plunged it through and through
the body of the PROSTATE woman on
the rack, who writhed in such real
istie manner that it was hard to hold
to the red-paint and spring-blade
theory. Next the woman on the
cross was stabbed with shears. but
of that proceeding the ladies of our
party only heard, as, after the first
horrible sight of the woman on the
rack, faces were covered and faces
turned from the sickening spectacle.
The japanese cheered wildly as the
bodies were carried back and appar-
emily thrown in lake, but in a few
minutes they came walking on the
stage in bedraggled foreign dresses
and wildly-feathered hats. The show
left most unpleasant impression
on one, and, although / have seen
a small boy put i'll a boiling cauldron
and apparently cooked for ten min
utes, and woman held under water
for a quarter of an hour at a time,
none of them caused such sickening
shudders as the crucifixion.

Her Beard Was Long.

From the Chicago Herald
A Chicago newspaper man, who
went to Atlanta, Ga, to accept a
position on the Constitution, recently
came across a paragraph in coun-
try exchange to the effect that a
young woman named Littleiohn, re-
siding at Jacksonville, Ala, had a
beard five feet nine inches in length.
The Atlanta scribe send this to Kohl
u Middleton, dime museum men.
The museum man at once wrote let
tiers to the postmaster at Jackson
vile, asking about Miss Littleiohn
and making her q big offer to appear
at his museum if she really had such
an abnoral growth of beard. A few
days afterwards he received the fol-
lowing letter from Jacksonville in
answer to his inquiries, and he is still
laughing over it:
"Your favor at hand in regard to
Littlejolln woman with beard five
