These people, for the sake of making theis
tobacco go further, cut it up very fine and
mix it with finely chopped wood in the pro-
portion Of about two parts of tobacco to
one of wood. Willow twigs are commonly
used for this purpose, possibly because they
have slightly aromatic flavor. The mode
of smoking the weed thus prepared is very
odd. The smoker, after clearing out the
bowl of his pipe with little picker or
bone, plucks from his deerskin clothing in
some conspicuous place a small wad of
hair. This he rams down to the bottom of
the bowl, the purpose Of it being to prevent
the fine tobacco from getting into the stem
and clcgging it up. The pipe is then filled
with tobacco, of which it holds only very
small quantity. The tobacco is then ig-
nited and all Of it is smoked out in two or
three strong whiffs. The smoke is very
deeply inhaled and is allowed to pass out
slowly from the mouth and nostrils.
This method Of smoking would be found
exceedingly trying by any white man. In
fact, it usually brings tears to the eyes of
the Eskimo, often producing giddiness and
almost always violent fit of coughing.
A native will sometimes be almost pros
trated from the effects of single pipeful
These people carry their fondness for to-
bacco SO far that they will actually eat the
foul, oily refuse from the bottom of the
bowl, the smallest portion OF which would
produce nausea in civilized person. TEis
habit has been likewise observed in north
ern Siberia They also eat the tobacco
ashes, perhaps for the sake of the potash
they contain. w Washington Star.

1t is we'll known fact that cat usually
falls on its feet. This may be proved by
taking cat and dropping it from various
h>ights. That it should fall on it's feet is
not due to luck, but to well defined prin-
ciple of mechanics.
When you hold cat with its feet upper
most, the back will be observed to curve
outward. But as soon as you let go the
animal turns over in the air and curves the
body inward, thus displacing the center of
gravity SO that the fall is made on all fours.

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

The discussion on the cholera
question which took place Wednes-
day ~ the meeting OF the Jbosrd of
health brought out many Of the
good points Of the new
United States quarantine law.
This law was passed in last Fehru-
airy and provides that an elaborate
and searching bill of health shall
be signed by the United States
Consul ST the port Of departure for
ail vessels visiting that country.
Dr. George TrouSSeau, who, with
other government physicians, had
been called in consultation, took
occasion TO point out the good
points and serviceable features of
the United States law, and showed
by pertinent illustrations how the

In leaving Hawaii We believe
Minister Blount feels thzt contend
ing fsctions here hsve resolved 70
suspend su nztters in dispute
pending the Snswer Of the United
States regarding the proposition OF
annexation, and there seems 70 be
no reason 10 doubt that MS antici-
p4tions Of the future peace and
quiet Of the Islands pending such
answer viii De maintained. With
this fzith in the continuance Of the
present condition of afsirs there
seems 70 be little or no risk in
Minister Blount leaving Hawaii
even before the arrival Of his sue
eesSor. If his private affairs demand
his departure. Had he not the
fullest confidence IN the ProTi-
sionsl Government Of the Hawaii
I'D Islands and in the Hawaiian
people, who &re, when left TO them
selves, peaee-loying race, we do
not believe he would at present
leave these shores. The fact that
be Is willing to leave Hawaii at
the present time, shows that he be
ieves the Provisional government
IS able to maintain the peace and
quiet Of the country in any Ordin-
zry emergency, and that IS the
recognized government Of the isl
ands it Is worthy the confidence Of
the government Of the United
States OF America.
