TOBACCO IN FRANCE.
The Most yilIaInous Weed to BE Found
the World.

The Most yillainous Weed to BE Found in
the World.
On the different kinds of tobacco in
use in the various countries of the
world, Mr.. Pritchett in his recent pa
per on t''SmolCiana," says nothing
from what we may term the smokers
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 ara
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, 10 which some
others might have been added, the to-
bacco leaf Is the thing smoked. There
are many varieties of il, and we have 4
brief account of them, with their dis
tribution and their botanical names,
and with some pictures Of the growing
plant. But beyond this Mr.. Pritchctt
does not attempt TO go. He writes OF
Dutch and German smokers and he has
word on French pipes.
But what kind OF stuff these people
burn in their pipes is not 50 much u
limited 1T. The English traveller on the
continent will soon gain the inforna-
tion for himself. Go where he may,
he viii find it simply impossible
TO obtain what he will dignity with
the name of tobacco. The 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 tObacro-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 ar"
about equally bad. The native-grown
tobacco is wholly wanting in fragrance.

LANTERNS IN GERMANY.
They Were Formerly Used - symbol. of


Rank.
The distinctions of rank which exist
in European countries give rise TO many
troubles which, though they may seem
rather amusing a. we'll as trivial
20 US, are in reality quite serious to
the persons concerned in them. In
Stuttgart. years ago, says an exchange,
there existed q curious custom which
is not yet entirely abolished, and, in
fact, still flourlshes 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
tinguished-
The lanterns were carried by the
servants who were sent to escort their
mistresses home from places of amuse-
ment. 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 10 be
strictly observed, or trouble arose. The
order OF rank, as set forth in the rank
=
could never swerve. Some had lanterns
OF tin, some of brass; some had wax
lights, and others tallow; even the num-
ber 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 il with her the very
next night when she went to meet her
mistress at the close OF an operate en-
tertainment II was some time before
the other woman, whose sense OF the
propricties OF life had been outraged,
and who thought her old friend was en-
deavoring to lay claim to 4 rank above
the one in which they both belonged,
could be appeased. Even after the ex-
PLANTATION, the subject of the lantern
-ses always sore one between them.

Why Smart Dog Took the Place of +.
n Setting Hen.

Speaking of the dog show" said the
man in the slate-colored trousers TO n
New York Tribune reporter, reminds
me Of an astonishing proof Of canine in
telllgence which came under nv obser-
vatlon in the year 1879. l was at that
time residing in Binghampton, Broome
County, y. Y, and had a considerable
amount of live stock, some poultry and
superb setter dog. / tell you ne was
a fine animal. I never see a dog with
such gentle ways. Gentlemen, Won
could have pulled enough hair out of
that dog 70 stuff sofa pillow and he
wouldn't a bit a bald-hcaded baby. One
day he was runnin around the ward and
somehow he playfully snapped the head
of hen. Gentlemen, | never knowed
how he did it, but somehow or other the
dog found out that she was scttin' hen
and blamed if the critter didn't 20 and
set on them eggs himself till he hatched

There was a significant silence as the
man in the slate-colored trousers fin
ished and toyed suggestively with his
glass
How do you explain such a remark

man on the end.
Setter dog, gentlemen. and then the
man in the sIate-coIored trousers
strolled away.

ABOUT POPULARITY.
1t VIII Come to Those Who Deserve 1t
Without Their Seeking.

Without Their Seeking.
We read in ancient story of an old
Grecian phil osopher who was so desir-
Gus of being worshiped as a demigod
that he threw himself into a volcano,
thinking that his mysterious disappear
ance would lead men 10 believe that he
had been taken bodily TO Heaven. Bis
design was frustrated, however. by the
action of the volcano, which threw up
one of his slippers, thus showing the
manner of his death
This mythical tale has a moral that
we may all do well to heed. If you
would have your memory cherished aft
er you are gone, leave behind you moth
ing but the fragrance of good deeds"
THE evil that men do lives after them"
says prince among poets; the good is
oft inferred with their bones" Influ-
ences created during life will ripple on
and widen even after we have passed
away; if for good, then to our honor and
glory; if for evil, then to our shame and
disgrace. Deeds that we may think
hidden now will stand out brightly in
the light of after time, when our lips
are sealed against all possible defense
or explanation. 1t is better to so order
our lives that all our actions Will bear
bringing TO the light, and leave no tar
nish on our good name. Let US be sure
that our sins will find US out sooner or
later while We live or after we have
gone TO rest We may also learn that
those who are over-zealous for popular
ity often defeat their own ends, as did
the man in the fable, by some foolish
act, by some betraying relict Of their
selfshness and mad desire for applause.
Popularity of the best sort viii come
to those who deserve it without their
seeking. The only kind that is worth
having is not gained by fawning upon
the public, by catering to every whim
and caprice of the populace, but by
steady, persistent, noble, honest work
that Will command in its own time the
respect and admiration of all men,
Christian at Work

Wonderful Sights in New York.

The editor of the Gerardstown
Times, writing of some wonderful
things seen on The occasion of a re-
cent visit to New York, says:
The other wonderful sight was the
immense mercantile establishments of
Col. Chas. Broadway. Rouss. The
transformation of the Apple Pie
Ridge farm lad into the New York
merchant prince would seem to be a
mere dream of fancy. But proof OF
the fact is before us, in the iron and
granite building twelve stories high
the most prominent structure on
Americas most business thorough
fare. Yet the lofty building and the
immense business carried on within
it is no more wonderful than the quiet
little man in gray who has built and
controls it all. Mr.. Rouss is not only
the embodiment of an iron will, ,daunt-
less pluck and tiFeless energy, hut
one of the most tender hearted men
we ever met. His heart is most easily
touched by any case of distress and
his hand ever open for its alleviation.
His -boyhood's home and friends are
warmly cherished. Fortune has not
caused him to forget or ignore even
the humb!est of them. There is
nothing like vanity or ostentation
about him. His-zlife's record reads
like n romance. The recital OF his
struggles and triumphs is one of alb
sorbing interest, and full of encour-
agement to all who would climb the
ladder of fame and fortune. We're
gret that space will not permit de-
scription of his magnificent g shop"
as he calls it, and the perfect system
that marks all its manifold operations.
Yet over all this scene of prosper
Gus activity a dark shadow rested
We missed from his accustomed
place one whose cordial greeting and
kindness had added much to the
pleasure of former visits. Poor,
dear Charley, how we missed him!
his early death brought sorrow to all.
