Tombak is a narcotic, which is known
under the name of Nicotiana Persica,
and is cultivated in Persia exclusively,
in the provinces of Chiraz, Kechan and
Ispahan. Its quality varies with the
place of production. The best tombak
is that which is derived from Chiraz.
The production Of this province varies
between 1900 and 1000 bales a year,
which is almost entirely consumed by
members of the imperial family.
Tombak of this superior quality is not
very abundant, and the price paid for it
is about fifty or sixty francs the oke, the
oke being equivalent to 2.s pounds avoir-
dupois. The province of Kechan pro-
duces the second quality of Persian tom
bak. With small leaves like the Chiraz
tombak the product of Kechan is not
even so abundant. Kew Bulletin.

ENGLAND BEFORE TAe STORM.

The day that is the night of days,
With cannon IRE for sun abiaxe,
We SOY from any pillows Lift;
And England still this tidal driftl
Would he to sAinted forethouxht VOW
A spaoe before ths thunder,s nood,
That martyr of its hour might now
Spare her the tears OF blood,
Asleep upon her ancient deeds,
She hsss b Vision plsthora bleeds,
And cocnfs her maaafDld increase
OF treasure In the ffuits Of peace.
What curse on eArth's fmprovfdent,
When the dread trumpet skaters rest,
Is wreaked, she Knows, yet smilescontsnt
As cradle rocked from breast.
She, impious to the Lord of Hosta,
The valor of her Offspring boasts,
Mindless that now on land and main
His needed prayer Is active brain.
No more great heart may guard the homo,
Save eyed and armed and skilled to cleave
Yon swallower wave with shroud 81 foam.
We see not distant heave.
They stand to b her sacrifice,
The sons this mother iings like dice,
To face the odds and brave the Fates;
AS In those days of starry dates,
When cannon cannon's oounterblAst
Awakened, muzxle muzxle bowled.
And high In swathe of mok b mast
Its fighting rag outrolled.

A medicine that has been a household
remedy tor sixty years and used in that
time by more than $50, 600. 600 persons
must have great merit. Such a medicine
is found in Brandreth's Pills. This fact
illustrates the value OF these pills better
than any statement of the proprietors.
1t will be observed that the dose required
to CURE is small. One or two pills taken
every night for ten or twenty DAYS will
cure dyspepsia, costiveness, rheumatism,
liver complaint, all female complaints and
weakness. .
Brsndreth;s Pills are purely vegetable.
absolutely harmless, and safe to take at
any time.

We have quite lost the mughouse.
This was a kind of music hall,
a large room where only men were ad-
mitted, and where ale or stout was the
only drink consumed. Every man had
his pipe; there was a president. A harp
played at n end'of the room, and out
of the company present one after the
other stood up to sing. Between the
songs there were toasts and speeches,
sometimes of a political kind, and the
people drank to each other from table
to table.-Walter Besant in Harper's.

Two old shovels, one old pick, two old

ton of the old railroad hotel which was
destroyed BY fire here years ago. This,
together with the old ties found had
been given to Mr.. O'Connell by the
Union Pacific officials years Ago.. 1t was
at that time the custom here for the

The policy of charging legitimate bust
ness special tax belongs to a past age and
is obsolete in all the eastern cities. It is

the pockets of business men who, during
these times, find it burdensome to pay.
Make all Legitimate business free as the

The high rents and the regular city

BY an adjustment OF the license ordi
nance the license revenue can be kept up,
The gambling houses should pay license
OF not less than 81, 900 q year for the priv

that they should help pay for the public

from $4,000 to $4,000 year profits, has
been getting of with $50 year, when it
should have been paying at least per cent.
on its gross receipts, as nearly all the

and there should be vertical increase in
others. w. w.

TRADE ABROAD AND AT HOME
The Ore and Bullion output-The Wool Mar
ket-Mouey Growing Easier-News Of
Uah's Principal Producers.

Extreme hot weather in the east has
checked many kinds OF business, but has
not prevented a considerable excess IN the
volume OF trade over that Of last year. At
the same time the weather has been ex-
tremely favorable for the growing crops,
excepting in limited districts where damage
has been done by violent storms, and the
crop outlook is on the whole decidedly in
proving.
Business at Boston is active in dry goods
and cotton, and wooden mills are well
employed, as are boot and shoe shops The
demand for leather is steady, manufacturers
buying freely. Wool is firm and active,
with sales OF ,000, 600 pounds and prospect
OF better prices. At Philadelphia manu-
featured iron improves. and the Reading
coal business is very active, wool is firm
with increasing demand, the market for
wooden goods enlsrging. and dry goods
generally are more active in spite of the
weather distribution beng very favorable.
Al Baltimore hot weather retards much
trade, though ia dry goods and boots and
shoes ana furnishing goods it exceeds last
years. The tin cRnssnd box factories are
running full, SIC she packers rejoice in liv-
ing prices.
At Pittsburg products Of iron and steei
grow stronger and window glass Is fairly
active but coal dull.
Dry goods have improved at Cincinnati,
the crops look better than year ago, and
the general prospect is very fair.
At Cleveland trade is fairly active in
spite Of the weather, and the whole pro-
ouction Of manufactured iron is quickly
absorbed.
Trade is quiet at Detroit, but crops are
turning out better than was expected
Trade and collections are better than q
year ago at Chicago, even retail trade in
creasing in spite of the weather.
Business is more prosperous at Milwau-
kee, and up to the average at St. Paul with
excellent crop prospects, but Minneapolis
reports some injury by heavy storms.
la spite of hot weather at Omaha trade
in shoes. groceries and dry goods is active
and fairly active at Kansas City with re-
ceipts Of cattle heavy and Of grain liberal.
Little Improvement appears at Memphis
or Little Rock, and trade is dull at New
Orleans, though prospects are brighter
there and at Savannah.
