1t is interesting to learn, on the au-

women show, as a rule, Il far greater

the often excruciating tortures of the

toner recently, they've got such a

CEREMONIAL USE OF TOBACCO

Popular Science Monthly.-Since the
worldwide diffusion of the tobacco
habit, it's earliest, and perhaps original
use has been in a great measure over
looked. With the aborigines Of America,
smoking and it's kindred practices were
not mere sensual qualifications, but to-
bacco was regarded as an herb of pecu-
liar and mysterious sanctity, and its
use was deeply and intimately inter-
woven with natives rites and cermon
les. With reasonable certainty the pipe
may be considered as an implement
the use Of which was originally confin-
ed to the priest, medicine man, or sOr-
cerer, in whose hands it was means
of communication between savage man.
From an address by Edward Everett
and the unseen spirits with which his
universal doctrine Of animiSm invested
every object that came under his obser-
walton. Similar to this use of the pipe
was its employment in the treatment of
disease, which in savage philosophy is
always thought to be the work of evil
spirits. Tobacco was also regarded as
an Offering of peculiar acceptability to
the unknown powers in whose hands
the Indian conceived his fate for good
or ILL to lie; hence it is observed to
figure prominently in ceremonies, as in
cense. and as material for sacrifice.

ASHLAND BANK SUSPENDS.
Heavy Withdrawals of Deposits Causes
the First National Trouble.

Ashland, Wis, July 31.-The First
National bank of this city closed its
doors this morning.
There has been steady run on the
bank during the last month The re-
sources, according to it's last report,
aggregate $780, SS.
Runs are in progress on the other
banks of this city.
At 10 o'clock this morning it looked
as if all of Ashland's banking institu-
tons We're going under, but at noon the
situation wore a more cheerful aspect
and no further trouble is anticipated.
Saturday afternoon the First Nation
al bank closed its doors one hour earlier
than usual. No reasonable excuse was
given for such action and its depOsitors
became greatly alarmed. This morning
instead OF opening its doors a notice
was posted that owing to heavy with
drawals by depositors during the past
few weeks the bank was forced to slls-
pend payment,
| This. of course, precipitated heavy
run on the other three banks. but bust
ness men manfully came to the front
| with deposits and their action did
much to restore confidence.
f! At the Security Savings bank quite a
scene was enacted. This bank is used
largely by laboring men as 4 savings
depository, and at 10 O'Clock scores OF
them congregated in the bank and in
front of the building waiting their
turn at the cashiers window
On all savings deposits the bank re
qui1es a notice of sixty days before the
deposit can be withdrawn The officials
| took advantage of this rule and refused
to pay out any Of the savings deposits.
This action provoked Indignation on
the part of the men depositors and
tears on the part of the women, but
the bank officials We're impassive to
| threats and entreaties alike.

THE SUNKEN SHIP.

Bright was the sea nd STILL
Fair shona the Orient coast;
Serene and blue bent the summer SKY
Ger England's squadron host.
Was it hand or helm that failed
When the wounds of a friend plowed
deep,
And the salt sea throttled our stalwart
tarS
And flung them fathoms deep,
As sullenly into the sea
Sank the mighty ship Of steel,
While a lightning flash bent the whole
worlds glance
Upon that trembling keel?
Alas for the sailor lads.
With their faces fresh and fair!
And alas! for the Admiral grand and
brave,
With the frost upon his hair!
And the mighty Nation mourns;
She can shape the ship again,
But only the life of heart and home
Could mould those manly men!
Q God. that their gurglng breath
On the haunting breezes borne
Might plead for the speedy death
OF war, by the people sworn!
God, that the scalding tears
OF mother, sweetheart, wife,
Might seal ON the Nations soul
The sacredness of life
