"pituri. For RI Assuaeing Hunger.

Not a1ittle interest, physiologically con-
sidered, has been created by the accounts
given of singular plant found in Queens
land and Australia, known to the people
as the pituri, or as it has been popularity
spelled pitcher, pichourg, or even bill
gerry, known to botanists, however, as Du-
boisia or Anthocercis hopwoodi. The
leaves, it seems, are gathered annually
during the month of August, when the
plan is in blossom; they are dried, first by
a process of straining, and then packed in
hemp bags for purposes of trade.
In preparing the article for consumption
it is damped, mixed with ashes and rolled
up into the shape of cigar, which the
people chew, sticking it during the inter
walls of chewing behind the ear. The effect
of the smoking of this novel cigar is very
peculiar, rendering the smoker for the time
being almost insane when INDUCED in too
freely, but when smoked in moderation the
leaves have powerful stimulating effect,
with symptoms similar to those produced
by excessive strong drink. A more impor-
tant use of pituri is the chewing of small
quantity of the leaves for the purpose of
assuaging hunger, person using them in
this manner being enabled to undertake
long journeys without fatigue and with
little food.--New York Tribune

Praise for the Aroostook Road-The Saw

Augusta, Decemb Der 24.-The railroad
commissioners have just completed an
inspection of the new Bangor and Aroos-
took railroad. Hon. B. +. Chadbourne, a
mem Der of the commission and an old
railroader, says: So tar as the con-
struction is completed, it is the best
made road it has been my good fortune
to examine. Its roadway and bridge
coverings and masonry are superior to
any in New England that has come I'M
der my observation. The rails are of
seventy pound steel, and the stations
are simply elegant, planned with view
to comfort hardly attained elsewhere.
The arrangements for coaling and water
are well nigh perfect. There are several
five mile stangents, and III one place, the
line is perfectly straight for fourteen
miles. The engineering has been a mar

country affords, and the construction
outfit is the best ever saw"

Smoking to Excess.

Tobacco cautiously used is certainly a

Began In a HUMBLE way.

A conspicuous figure on the streets Of
PittsbTg is a tall, dignifed looking col
ored man who dresses in long coat and
high hat, both of brilliant red. Every bit
OF available space on his outer garments
is EN- blazoned with announcements, paint
ed in white letters, of astonishing bargains
in wearing apparel. That he feels the i'm
portance of his position is evident, not
only from the self satisfied smile he wears,
but also from an incident which occurred
yesterday. In his ram les about the streets
he stopped to look at a gang of men who
were excavating in order to repair water
pipe. "Look at them" he said, turning
to friend who was with him. "That's
just the way got my start in life" Sew
eral of the workmen looked up at the sand
witch man, wondering, evidently, how they
could find encouragement in the result of
his experience. Pittsburg Dispatch.

rhings Seen and unseen.

st. Paul's great declaration, the things
seen are temporal; the things not seen are
eternal' accepted timidly here by the pi-
GUS, but regarded as a mere phrase by the
materialists-is in India commonplace
of daily certainty. Nobody there doubts
the continuity of life any more than he
doubts that the setting sun will rise again,
the same orb, tomorrow.
Ihave heard Mahratta woman, while
Gliding her child for splitting milk, ex-
claim, ''You must have been very bad
girl in your last Iife!'' The popular rea-
son why Hindoo widows do not remarry
is because the loss of betrothed DIR we'd
ded husband is looked upon as th e fatal
expiration for some extreme offenIse in a
previous existence, to be borne with pa
tient confluence in this one, on which con-
dition the family Of the deceased husband
will faithfully maintain the widow, as
still belonging to the dead man, and to be
surely reunited with him. This was the
basis of the heroic though tragical custom
of "Sati," or widow burning, one of the
grandest defances ever flung by human
faith and love at the face Of the doctrine
of annihilation.-SirE Edwin Arnold.

A TRIP TO CHINATOWN
Made by an Insane Son of the Mormon
Prophet Brigham Young.

Salt Lake, u, December 23.-By pres
ence of mind and prompt action on tn e
part of several members of Hoyts IA
Trip to Chinatown Company, terrible
tragedy was averted at the Salt Lake
Theatre last evening. About 10 o'clock
Oscar B. Young, crazy son of the Nor
mon prophet, Brigham Young, burst
open the door of the theatre box Office.
Before the astonished treasurer and
manager could collect themselves.
Young strobe into the theatre around to
the stage door and dashed across tho
stage. The curtains were down and the
actors dressing for the second act.
Young is man of powerful physique,
having till recent years been q black
smith. Into the first dressing room he
stopped aad stood frothlng in passion be-
fore Harry Conner, the Welland Strong
of the play. After trying to lock the
door, he demanded the key of Conner.
I'll teach you to 60 to New York and
talk about the 'Danites,'' he said. In
stantly recognizing that he was in the
presence OF a mailman, Conner Jumped
out of the door, The ladies in the ad
joining rooms screamed.
At this moment the property man,
Antoine Mazzanovich, a match in strength
and size for Young, leaped upon the
crazy man from behind and pinioned
him. Just then boy was passing with
the swords used in the play. With the
strength born of madness Young released
himself, grabbed a sword and com
menced lungingss at those around him.
Again the massive property man caught
him from behind, at the same time
catching the hilt OF the sword. Those
of the ladies who had not tainted rushed
to their rooms.
Don't lynch me! Don't lynch mel'
cried Young. He was forced into the
street, policeman called, and still raw
ing he was carried to the station. Young
has long been regarded as insane, and of
late he has shown dangerous tendencies.
Those who know the man regard the
lucky outcome of The stage encounter as
little short of miracle. Young's pres
ent spell is said to be caused by financial
troubles. He had no acquaintance with
any one in the theatre company.

A Good word For the Book Agent.


Ten years ago the book agent and the
home library were rarities. Today every
Village In the land knows the former, and
in the latter may be found modest libra
raes that go far toward completing and
rounding of the education which the chill
dren receive in the public school. To a
more or less extent the schoolmaster is a
tasamaster to the child. The book in the
library at home is never. 1t is recreation
as well as an instruction, and the lessons
learned fronHit and the am billions created
by it sink deeper into the heart and enter
more fully into the lives of the young men,
Books that e quarter of a century ago
were in the hands of the exclusive few
have come within the reach of ali. The
book agent has reclaimed field that for
years las untitled. He has reached the
homes of the people, and created in them
q market at once the largest and most
profitable in the world. Increased demand
has made 1t possible for publishers to re-
duce the price of the standard authors, and
thus twofold has been the blessing that
followed the path he trod.-Donahoe's

ANCIENT ADvERTlsINa.
The Origin of the Blu illness Architect Of
Today Lost In Antiquity.


For science whose zeal development is
of sucn comparatively recent origin, adj
vertising has a surpris ing perspective. If
we place the broadcast construction upon
the term, we may lo,pk in vain-among
ancient historical reco fds-for the first ad-
vertisement. When it became necessary
for tribe or nation TO. convey certain
piece of information tehsan of it's members,
the natural means wRs the posting in
prominent place of an. inscription Thus
the prototype CT our modern signboard
came into existence with the very dawn of
civilization. 1t is known that in the first
days of the children of Israel the UTTER
ances of kings and prophets were conveyed
to the people through the medium of prim-
tive signs.
But the real significance of the word
advertisement has come to be the use
of publicity for businesis p1uposes-for the
purpose of inducing trade. Adopting this
meaning, the earliest advertisements were
sym bols lungs outside the doors of shops.
In Rome saw SO placed indicated the
carpenter; a bushel measure, the baker,
and a branch of ivy-<ncred to Bncchus-
marked the tavern. From this latter form
of advertisement, we have our proverb,
"Good wine needs noshush.
The use of written characters in adyer-
Using for trade dates back at least 30 CEN
turtles. The excavations at Pompen have
brought to light a sign at street conner
which, being translated, reads, "Visit the
inn of Lianus; turn to the right" The
custom of advertising for lost articles also
obtained then. Another inscription I'M
earthed in the buried city reads, IA wine
jar is lost from the inn; If any one bring
it back, there shall be given to him 6S SEES
terces; if any one bring the thief who took
it, double the sum will be given"
That the wineshop should have figured
so conspicuously in the early history Of
advertising, we may remark in passing is
more of reflection upon the people of
those times than it is discredit to the
art of publicity. In fact, in no form of
literature are the vices and virtues and
customs of different eras more wildly por-
trayed than in advertisements. Photo
graph the shops of nation and you have
q correct idea of its methods of living
What does this so well as an advertise
ment? It is the unedited voice of the peo
pie.
As to the first newspaper advertisement,
there is a difference of opinion. Some
credit it to the ancient paper The Mercu-
RUS Politicus, while others claim that a
certain old journal supposed to hat7e been
printed in 1891, and on file in the British
museum, deserves the honor. One of these
pioneer advertisements is curious enough
to quote. 1t reads thus:
"That excellent and by all physicians
approved Chinese drink called by the Chi
nese Toha, by other nations Tay, alias TIE,
is sold at the Sultane's Head Gothic House
in Sweeting's Rents, by the Royal Elk
change, London"
Another early form of advertising was
the bellman or town crier, which still Ex-

One on the Lawyers.

In the incident related below q boy IL
years old conquered a smart and shrewd
lawyer fighting for bad cause.
Walter was the important witness, and
one of the lawyers after cross questioning
him severely said:
Your father has been talking to you
and telling you how to testify, hasn't hea"
EYES," said the boy.
Now" said the lawyer, "just tell us
how your father told you to testify"
"Well, " said the boy modestly, "father
told me that the lawyers would try and
tangle me, but if 1 would just be careful
and tell the truth I could tell the same
thing every time.''
The lawyer didn't try to tangle up that
boy any more.-Massachus Plough
