Rem.mbrances for a Sen Voyage.


 If you have a friend crossing the water this summer, and want to give her some little token ot remembrance some little gift that will show your good will and good feeling toward her, here is an idea for you. Your friend will probably be out six or seven days Sit down and write seven letters. Make them as bright, interesting and anus ing as your intelligence and intellect permit If you feel that your heart is larger than your brain get kind friend to assist you. Put each letter in a separate envelope and address it. On the day the ship sails make it your business to find the head table steward, give the packet into his keeping, and enjoin him strictly to give your friend each morning with her coffee one of the letters.
 A small fee accompanying the epistle would be a good idea It is a most wonderful assistance to the memory. If you wish you can also intrust to the stewards care some fruit and little wine. And if your friend is so unfor tunate as to be troubled with nal de mer she will be your debtor for life if on the third or fourth morning out a bottle of sparkling champagne, accom- panied by bright, spicy letter, is pre- sented to her with your compliments.

Antiquarians tell us that the wooden Indian is tobacco sign, because tobacco is an American weed and that it was orig inally used by the Indians. But this same antiquarian gets tangled occasion ally and tells you that tobacco has been in use for over 5000 years among the Chinese. Meyen, in his 'Geography of Plants" is of the opinion that the smok- ing of tobacco is of great antiquity among the Chinese, because he has ob- served carvings of tobacco pipes upon monuments whose ages run back into the thousands of years. and they are ex- actly like the Celestial tobacco pipe to- day too If this Is fact it would be much more appropriate to use the figure of a Chinaman in place of the wooden Indian now used by dealers.-St. Louis Republic ...- ..a
