Clarksville Tobacco Market.

Our market continues active, and
sales for the week will amount to
about 500 hogshcads. The market
was rather SITTER on desirable leaf in
good order, and fraction higher on
Tugs. Since the changed weather
conditions, insuring the planting of
the entire crop, holders have been
more disposed to let go, and reject
less freely, which is well.

A Blacksmith Saves The Life of A
Little Girl.


Minnie Carney was perhaps as near
leaving this world as anyone can be,
to recover She was sick with chol-
era morbus: completely exhausted
and unconscious. The physicians in
consultation pronounced her case
hopeless and beyond the power of
cure. Chas. J. Newcomb, a black
smith walked four miles through the
darkness, rain and storm to get a rem
edy he had himself used, and which
he firmly believed would cure her.
That medicine was Chamberlain's
Collie, Cholera and Darrhoea Remedy.
He obtained part of a bottle, with
which he hastily returned, and gave
the little sufferer half teaspoonful,
which relieved her and consciousness
gradually returned. The medacine
was given in broken doses, and in a
short time she was well. He is posi-
tive that it saved her life, and has
others in that Nicinity. For sale by

TOBACCO MUST GO.
The Outlook Favorable For the Disuse 0
Tobacco.

Whenever | hear nice looking
young woman avowing herself smok-
er OF cigarettes or possibly cigars, says
Owen Langdon in Detroit News, re-
member how once happened to pass
through a farm kitchen away in the
back woods late at night after the
family had gone to bed, and to be
startled by the pungent odor oftobacco,
and by figure at the stove that rus
tied and retreated at my approach. 1t
was the wife and mother of the house
hold, an old woman with neat dress
and tidy gray hair who had stolen
there for the secret solace of a pipe.
1t would be hard to say whether she or
l was the most embarrassed at my dis
covery of the habit she wished to re-
main hidden.
In that section Of the country a con-
siderable number of elderly women
smoked their clay or corncob pipes,
but not single young woman or girl.
1t was a practice long ago considered
unladylike. Now it seems as if the
practice were in danger of revival by
young women and girls, not in the
backwoods but in New York and even
Boston, where I have come to know Of
public school teacher who smokes
big black cigars. That ma6es two Of
my personal acquaintance nice
young women and one rathcr priggish
even-who have got to cigars, while
several are still in the cigarette stage.
A cigar dealer names a certain brand
the beau SEX to catch women patron
age. 1t is queer that this should hap
pen just at the time when so many
young men are giving up the habit be-
cause it is inconsistent with athletic
feats. On the whole, in spite of the
perverse young woman, the outlook is
very favorable for an abandonment of
the tobacco habit
Too optimistic? Not bit of it
Who takes snuff now? Fifty years ago
nearly every one did. Don't you keep
your graDdmother's snuff box as a sa-
cred relic? Fifty years ago three men
chewed tobacco where one does now
Why cannot smoking, too, be Danish ed
if athleticism and estheticism, with
moral and sanitary agencies of one
sort and another, join hands against
it? Tobacco hasn't for hundred years
had so weak hold as now.
Anyhow if men think it right to
smoke and chew tobacco, why should
not women l hope they won't but is
there any valid distinction?

A Pagan Country.

India is practically uneducated. The
total number of scholars in schools
and colleges Of all sorts is only three
and a quarter millions, or II per cent
Of the entire population. These are
mainly confn ed to the cities and towns;
but out of 250, 900, 900 in all India,
less than II, 600, 900 can read and
write. A census of the illiterates in
the various countries of the world
places the three Sclavic states of Rou-
mania, Servia and Russia at the head
of the list with about 80 per cent Of
the population unable to read and write.
Of the Latin-speaking races, Spain
heads the list with 65 per cent, fol-
lowed by Italy with 48 per cent France
and Berlin having about Is per cent.
The illiterates in Hungary number 43
per cent, in Austria, 80 per cent and
in Ireland 81 per cent.
In England we find 13 per cent, Hol-
land, 10 per cent, United States (white
population) per cent and Scotland 7
per cent unable to read and write
When we come to the purely Teutonic
states we find a marked reduction in
the percentage of illiterates. The
highest is in Switzerland, 2.5 and in
the whole German empire it is l per
cent, while in Sweden, Denmark,
Bavaria, Baden and Wurtemburg there
is practically no one who cannot read
and write. Spare Moments.
