At the instgation of Chief Constable
Henderson scheme has been set on foot
by the Edinburgh Association for Improv
ing the Condition of the Poor for collecting
waste paper from the householders and
having it sorted by the deserving poor OF
the city, thus giving work to a number of
the unemployed. The scheme also pro-
vides remedies for three abuses-a great
waste of material, a serious deterioration
in the value of the city refuse, and the an
noyance, danger and dirt caused by paper
blowing about the streets. Canvas bags,
stamped For the Poor, y. |. G. p" are
sent to householders on an initial payment
of threepence. Full bags are lifted upon
information being sent to the office at the
Kings Stables Road or the constable on
beat receiving notice. An empty bag is
substituted free of charge. The paper thus
collected is conveyed to the factory in
Kings Stables Road, where, in II well ven
tilated apartment on the top floor, over 30
women and girls are employed in sorting it,
The assortments are: White waste paper,
colored waste paper, newspapers, books,
letters, buff paper, brown and gray paper
and hash When it is mentioned that
hash" the paper of lowest marketable
value, can be collected and sorted without
loss, it will readily be seen that the scheme
is highly profitable. The scheme has now
been in operation for about II fortnight,
and the amount of paper coming in he's
been steadily on the increase, and there is
| every prospect of it still increasing. House
| holders, warehousemen aud shopk keepers
unite in the cry for bags" the demand be-
| ing 50 great that the staff employed cannot
overtake it., and many citizens have to wait
for weeks before being supplied. About 81
bags, each containing half hundred
weight, arrive daily, ana on an average
fully two tons are sorted. The city il di

These people, for the sake of making their
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 a little picker or
bone, plucks from his deerskin clothing in
some conspicuous place 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 clogging it up. The pipe is then filled
with tobacco, of which it holds only a very
small quantity The tobacco is then ig-
nited and all of il 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 giddincss and
almost always violent fit OF coughing
A native will sometimes be almost pros
trated from the effects of a 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. This
habit has been likewise observed In north
ern Siberia. They also eat the tobacco
ashes, perhaps for the sake of the potash
they contain Washington Star.
