Two hungry workmen ON the tramp
lately came to village where lived a
Catholic priest who was known to keep
q good table.
"Mate," said one Of them, 1--WE shall
get nothing there If he finds out that
we are Protestants. I shall tell him I'm
a Catholic"
"Do as you please, replied the 9TH
er "I shall tell the truth"
They knocked at the clergyman s door
and asked for relief.
His reverence asked them among 9TH
er things what confession they belonged
to, and they replied as previously agreed.
Then he bade them wait and went back
into the house, returning soon after
ward with couple Of plates. on one Of
which was roast duck and on the other
a little boiled rice.

Why spitz Quit.

Germany has been on the verge Of q
cabinet crisis for several weeks. The
first warning Of the trouble among the
highest officials Of the empire was given
by the fall of General Won Spitz No
body has explained just why Spitz fell,
but in an article that attempts to do so
the Cologne Gazette suggests reasons
that probably will seem more than suf-
ficient to persons outside Germany. The
Gazette says that it was incumbent upon
him in his department to attend to the
Str Observation-Disclosures,
the Militaergefaengnisswesen and the
whole Militaerjustizwesen. Besides, his
Office required that he take charge of all
the bills regarding the Militaerproces-
sordnung and consult with the chancellor
as to the supreme Richsmilitaergerichts-
instanz and the supreme Reichsmilitaer-
gerichtshof. Is it any wonder, then, that

Early Mention Of Tobacco.

The first account in which the tobac.
co plant was minutely described was
sent from Haiti to Peter Martyr in the
year 1496-400 years ago exactly-that
by Hernandez de Oviedo. the man who
introduced tobacco culture into Spain.
In 1861 Nicot. the man for whom nico-
tine, the active principle Of tobacco, was
named, brought it under the notice Of
Catherine de- Medici, to whom he pre-
sented some plants grown in his own
garden from seed brought over from
Florida. Nicot appears to have been
the first European to use tobacco as a
medicine. proof Of which may be found
in Arber's reprint Of the famous tract
issued by King James, and which bore
the title of "a Counterblaste to Tobac-
co." The very earliest detailed account
Of the tobacco plant in the English Ian
guage is by Mr.. Arber (mentioned
above). bearing date Of i577.-St Louis
Republic.

Tea and Coffee.

British trade statistics show that tea
is driving coffee out of the market in
the United Kingdom. England has al
ways been a great country for tea drink
ing, and now the British taste for that
beverage is apparently stronger and
more nearly universal than ever. In the
United States, although very great
portion of the population is Of almost
unmixed British origin, coffee complete
ly overshadows tea in common use.
There is no reason to believe that the
latter will ever become popular here in
the same sense that coffee is already,
and the coffee trade increases constantly.
Nations differ in such matters to q
very remarkable degree. Germany, like
the United States, is coffee drinking
country, and 40 is France to a less ex.
tent. Russia, on the other hand, is more
devoted to tea than England. and China
and Japan care as little for coffee as the
Turks do for the tea which the yellow
races of eastern Asia consume in enor
nous quantities. In some cases the eli
mate seems to be determining influ
ence, the lower the temperature tht
greater being the consumption Of tes
and the smaller the coffee trade. There
are notable exceptions, however, 70,
Germany. where coffee leads by lonl
odds, is land of colder weather il
winter than the British isles. expert
ence Japan, where tea is universally
used, is warmer than Asia Minor, wher'
the Turks drink coffee very freely.
However, as a rule, the colder coun
tries prefer tea to coffee. and in tn
warmer climates coffee is easily first il
popularity. Leader.

Under Her Rule Paris Became . Scene Of
1xtrsvasant Fairyland.
There was O sort Of intoxication in
the very atmosphere Of Paris, fever Of
enjoyment-a passion for constant
amusement, for constant excitement,
and among women for extravaganza in
dress. This was encouraged by the
court, with the intention Of giving an
impetus to trade and Of gaining popu-
larity by favoring constant festivities,
and consequently constant expense. In
the days Of Louis Philippe there had
been great moderation in all matters Of
luxury; the king and queen were aged.
sensible and economical; the young
princesses were kc pt within rigid bounds
by example above them. But when the
emperor came to the throne, after q
period Of revolution and consequent
commercial stagnation, he wished to
revive trade, and also to give the pres
tige Of splendor to court which 80
many did not seem TO take In earnest
His beautiful wife. suddenly raised to
q supreme position for which nothing
in her previous life had prepared her,
finding what seemed unlimited means
within her reach, keenly enjoyed the
possibility Of procuring everything that
pleased her, and enhanced her remark
able personal attractions by all the ad-
vantages Of exquisite toilet without con.
sideration Of cost.
Everything that she wore suited he,
admirably. Others tried to initiate her,
and the general tone became raised. She
had the art Of constantly choosing some.
thing new and unusual, which attracted
attention, 80 that, instead Of being sat.
isfied with conventional types Of silks
and satins, which formerly had beer
considered sufficient for all occasions,
every one tried to invent something diff
ferent from others and to improve upor
what had been seen before Consequent
ly, not only in dress, but in all matters
Of taste and luxury, there was an cage
struggle to outvie others, to reach {
higher degree Of splendor, and extrava
gance became universal. Paris was ,

USES or 4 PIECE or STRING.

OF Importance 20 the woodsman In Many
Emergenciea. Both Big and Little.
A piece Of string is often Of great
value to q hunter or fisherman. Stout
string, such as is used to tie up heavy
bundles, is most valuable Some sports
men put a piece Of string at higher
velue than any other single part Of the
camp outfit-apart, Of course, from the
implements Of sport.
If the fishing rod breaks, the string
mends it again. II the suspenders break,
the string ties the ends together. Should
the gunstock break. the string is inval-
uable. If pack basket strap fails, q
string takes its place A tear in tent
is sewed up with string. Game Is hung
up out Of reach Of animals with string.
A lost man makes snares out Of string
and catches birds s1d rabbits enough to
keep him from going hungry. Likewise
q stout string will serve as fshline in
the absence Of regular tackle. II the
chain is lost, the dog may be led with q
string A boat can be anchored with q
rock and cord.
In the absence Of q string q substitute
IL made by cutting strip as long as
needed from deer hide of which the
hair has been taken The woodsmen pre-.
fer rawhide string to all others, be-
cause it Is much stronger, If properly
cut, and the woodsman is very expert in
cutting the string Of even strength.
Where the hide is thin he cuts broad
strip; where it is thick he cuts a narrow
one. He prefers horsehide to buckskin,
and buck skin is better than a does.
A raft is easily made with a string
and three or six logs, according to the
size, and many a skin boat is sewed with
rawhide strings With piece Of string
in his pocket no man need starve or lack
for sport, though lost and 40 miles
from anybody. He can break off hem
lock branch, make bow, use a slender
sapling for an arrow, and shoot his
game as the Indians did. If he has @
jacklxnife, so much the better, but the
string alone will do. Fire may be start
ed in an unraveled string by striking
sparks into it from two hard rocks A
very important use of string is stop
ping the flow Of blood from wound.
A strip Of bark, with round stone tc
press into the artery, and string to til
tight over the bark, has saved many
lives and will save more. The strip o.
bark prevents the string from cutting
the flesh. In case Of broken leg barl
sheaf and string keep the bones il
