Zn0 A0Dt VhLI0LU000 W000 TO no E0UD0 U
tAe World.
On the different kinds Of tobacco in
use In the various countries Of the
world, Mr.. Pritchett In his recent pa
per on ''Smokiana," says nothing
from what we may term the smoker's
point Of view. He offers us pipes In
abundance, says the Chicago Evening
Journal, but We have hardly any infor-
nation about their probable or Gus
tomary contents. The Chinese, we are
told, smoke opium-a practice which
Mr.. Pritchett does not think injurious
to them in health. The inhabitants Of
Zanzibar smoke wild hemp or bhang.
With these exceptions, to which some
others might have been added, the to.
bacco leaf is the thing smoked. There
are many varieties Of 1t, and we have
brief account Of them, with their dis
tribution and their botanical names,
and with some pictures Of the growing
plant. But beyond this Mr.. Pritchett
does not attempt to go. He writes OF
Dutch and German smokers and he has
q word on French pipes.
But what kind Of stuff these people
burn in their pipes is not so much -
limited at. The English traveller on the
continent will soon gain the informa-
tion for himself. Go where he may.
he will find it simply impossible
to obtain what he will dignity with
the name of tobacco. Tho German
and Dutch forms are better than the
Italian and the French, but we
can say no more than this for them.
France we are inclined to put as the
lowest among civilized tobacco-consum-
ing countries. The hand Of the Govern
ment makes itself felt all through. The
three kinds of foreign tobacco which
are admitted into France are purchased
on Government account, and they are
about equally bad. The native-grown
tobacco is wholly wanting in fragrance,
and it has the doubtful mcritof being very
strong, or, as we should term it, very
rank. Care is further taken that no one
with capital at command shall be suf-
fered to open tobacco shop.
The whole scheme works out as we
might expect. There is small chance
anywhere, and only between bad and
worse. 1t would, perhaps, do something
to reconcile tho English working-man
to his lot in life If he had the means of
comparing his position with that of his
fellow in France. The Englishman has
not only higher wages and shorter hours
of work, but he can also purchase at
threepence an ounce kind of tobacco
by no means of the highest quality, but
nevertheless far superior to any which
either French workman or a French
millionaire can hope for in his own
country. We do not know what value
our working classes set on common
privilege which comes to them as mat
ter Of course, but we believe there
would be rebellion tomorrow II 1t
were taken away and they were COM
PEELED to smoke caporal, nor should we
dare to say that 1t had not been abun:
dainty provoked. .,.

LANTERNS IN GERMANY.
They Were Formerly Used as symbols OF
Rank.

They Were Formerly Used As Symbols OF
Hank.
The distinctions of rank which exist
In European countries give rise to many
1roubles which, though they may seem
rather amusing as we'll as trivial
to us, are in reality quite serious to
she persons concerned in them. In
Stuttgart, years ago, says an exchange,
there existed curious custom which
Is not yet entirely abolished, and, in
fact, still fourlshes quite vigorously in
some parts OF Germany and Switzerland.
This was the use of lanterns of different
varieties and sizes, by which, at night,
the rank of the party could be easily dis
xinguished.
The lanterns were carried by the
servants who were sent to escort their
mistresses home from places of amuse-
nent, and they made the square in
front Of the Royal Opera-House, where
most of the entertainments were then
given, quite picturesque with their
lights bobbing up and down in every
direction.
The differences between some of these
lanterns were slight, but they had to be
strictly observed, or trouble arose. The
order of rank, as set forth in the ''rank-
list" was something from which they
could never swerve. Some had lanterns
81 tin, some of brass; some had wax
lights, and others tallow; even the num-
her of lights was prescribed for each
separate class or rank.
An amusing story is told by Hack
lander of two Stuttgart women, whose
lifelong friendship was nearly de-
stroyed by the mistake of one of the
Husbands, who bought at an auction a
lantern which could only be used with
propriety by people OF the next higher
rank.
The servant polished the offending
lantern, and took it with her the very
next night when she went to meet heI
mistress at the close Of an operatic en-,
8ertainment 1t was some time before
the other woman, whose sense of the
proprieties of life had been outraged
and who thought her old friend was en-
deavoring to lay claim to rank above
the one in which they both belonged
.sould be appeased. Even after tho ex
planation, the subject of the Lantern
was always sore one between them.

Took Him by Surprise.

Not many years ago, says the Shelby
vile (Mo.) Herald, man went to the
Hannibal fair with his herd of cattle to
show. When he arrived there he found
that he had no opposition, and SO eager
was he to beat some other herd that he
sent word to man in Rails County who
owned herd that he would pay his en-
trance fee of thirty-five dollars II he
would bring it down and enter it against
him. The Rails County man did as re-
luested, and the reader can imagine the
surprise of the other man when the
Rails County farmer took the first pre-
MUM with his herd.

POLLY AND THE HENS.
An Educated Parrot That Got Herself
Into Trouble.

An Educated ParrOt That Got Herself
Into Trouble.
Our next door neighbor, writes cor
respondent of Munson's World, owns an
amusing parrot which is always getting
into mischief, but generally gets out
again without much trouble to herself.
When she has done any thing for which
she knows she ought to be pun ished,
she holds her head to one side and, ey-
ing her mistress, says In . sing-sonR
tone: "Polly is good girl" until she
sees her mistress smile; then she flaps
her wings and cries out: "Hurrah!
Polly is good grill" She has been al
lowed to go free in the garden, where
she promenades back and forth on the
walks, summing herself and warning of
all intruders.
One morning hen strayed out of the
chicken yard and was quietly picking
up her breakfast, when Poll marched up
to her and called out "Shoop in her
shrill voice. The poor hen retreated to
her own quarters, running as fast as she
could, followed by Poll, who screamed
"Shoo" at every step.
A few days later Poll extended her
morning walk into the chicken yard.
Here, with her usual curiosity, she went
peering into every corner, till she came
to the old hen on her nest. The hen
made dive for Polls yellow head, but
missed it. Poll, thinking discretion the
better part of valor, turned to run, the
hen, with wings wide spread, following
close after.
AS she ran, Poll screamed in her
shrillest tones: 20 Lord! o Lordr'
A member of the family, who had
witnessed the performance, thought it
time to interfere in Polls behalf, as the
angry hen was gaining on her. He ran
out and STOPPING down held out his
hands. Poll lost no time in travelling up
to his shoulder. Then from her high
vantage ground she turned and, looking
down on her foe, screamed: Hello therel
Shoo!"
The frightened hen returned to her
nest as rapidly as she had come.

Horse Sense.

The intelligence Of the horse has just
been demonstrated at Vesper, near
Syacuse, N. Y. Among a herd of
Hambletonian horses in field was a
brood mare and sucking colt. A few
days ago the mother partly pulled one
of her shoes of. With great deal OF
'horse sense" she jumped out of the
pasture and went to the blacksmith
shop. The smithy started to drive the
animal away, but finally discovered and
reset the bent shoe. The mare then
went contentedly back to the pasture,
scaled the fence, and was once more
mingled with the herd.

FROM Zlon's Herald, the great religious weekly, which surely is not partisan journal in any sense, are clipped these words of wisdom: "The author of the Tariff bill always insisted that time would vindicate his much-abused mea- sure from aspersion, and demonstrate both it's wisdom and benefit. It must be confessed that evidence is not lacking to conhrm his prediction. The new status is bringing about new adjust ments. ForexaInple, the famous English firm of Sir Titus Salt X Co.,, unwilling to lose their American trade in silk pushes, have purchased the Howe Sewing Ma chine Company's factory at Bridgeport, Conn.,, and will employ some six hun dred hands in retaining their market. They will find American competitors who will produce an equally high grade of goods ere long, and at reduced price to the consumer. Upholstery plushes have not advanced since the passage of the Mckinley bill, though burdened Wltn du uiuitlOhii uuts VI Vp pSi NShs' The scare is evidently abating when a heavy clothing firm offers to furnish the best imported goods at the old prices. Last week a curious crowd in front of the Tribune building in New York City gazed at sheet of American tin manufactured in Chicago from plates rolled in Pennsylvania. Tin plate was practically excluded from our market bya protective duty, and great protest went up therefor. It was stoutly as- serted that it would not, could not he manufactured in this country. The sheet referred to was accompanied by a bulletin which proclaimed American tin to be a new industry, which will save nearly $400,000,0O0 of good money to the United States in the next ten years make work for tens of thousands of mechanics in this country at good wages, and reduce the price of tin plate and all owing to the Mckinley bill It is believed that similar testimonials will multiply to such degree before December next that the -Fifty-second Congress will scarcely dare to meddle with law which is so maniiesly ac- ceptable and beneficial"

IF that Anti-Tights bill becomes a law in Minnesota, the young ladies who ride in circuses in that State will be in a dilemma. A young lady in trousers or in Bloomer costume jumping through a hoop would be an awiully funny specta- cle until the public taste became edu- cated up to that idea, and. ballet in pantalets would be curiosity surely. People who have works of art in their homes in Minnesota had better not in- vite the member of the Legislature who introduced that bill into their homes. If he believes in the human form divine, he believes evidently in shading it, and it will be wonder fl he does not intro duce bill declaring that no more chil- dren shall be born unless they first shall be properly clothed.
