Australian Tobacco

The Bombay Gazette, referring to Mr..
Tripp's letter on the Tobacco Industry of
India, and the discussion thereon. in the
Indian section, writes:
Australia threatens to compete with
India as a tobacco producing country.
and active measures are now being taken
with view to the development of this
industry. Small quantities of tobacco
have for some time been grown, and
the Melbourne agricultural department
is of the opinion that highly profitable
trade might be built up. with that OBJ
ject in view, therefore, the services of
Mr.. Bondurant, an American expert.
were engaged, and he has just reported
upon his inspection of the northeastern
districts of Victoria. In order to make
the plantations there repay cultivation.
he declares that greater care in grow
ing, curing, and grading are necessary.
The curing sheds in Australian planta-
tions are now open, whereas experienced
manufacturers assert the absolute ne
cessity for curing sheds to be enclosed on
all sides. Mr.. Bondurant has pointed out
this to local cultivators, and has given in
structions to the different settlers re-
garding curing, grading and cultivation.

IN the days of the ancients. 1t was the
custom Of the authorities to flood the
town with music to divert the minds of
The people from the disaster which
threatened them.
EFFECTS OF MUSIC.
1t has long been known that music in
cites the action of the heart, and that
this action influences the circulation Of
the blood, causing 1t to coincide with the
changes in the breathing. 1t has also
been demonstrated that the functional
activity of the skin Is powerfully stimu-
lated by music. OF course, these results
are not experienced by every one, but it
is very rare that music has detrimental
effect, and for this reason physician
can prescribe it without any twinges of
conscience. particularly when the ills
Of the patient are largely imaginary.
A New York woman, the wife Of a
great railroad magnate, was given the
music cure during the lenten season,
and now she claims that it entirely
freed her of anervous trouble. This par
ticular woman is very large and very
healthy looking, and 1t would seeTn that
a sudden explosion of giant powder
would not shake her nerves. She made
the usual rounds of the fashionable
world during the gay season, and seemed
as robust and as strong as any one. But
when Lent arrived she summoned her
physician, and confided to him that she
feared she was on the verge of mental
prostration. This seemed unaccount-
able to the doctor, as the lady was not
In the habit of fatiguing her intellect
tended some fashionable reading, and
even then she talked most of the time.
THE SLY DOCTOR.
But the physician did not voice this
knowledge. He argued that the lady's
malady was a most unusual one, and
would require exceptional treatment.
He knew she was very fond of music,
and had particular fancy for the harp.
This gave him an inspiration, and the
music cure was launched upon the
world. Very deftly he explained how
the ,ancients cured persons afflicted like
herself, and concluded by suggesting
that she engage the services of cele-
brated harpist to play for her three
afternoons in the week.
The idea was delightful medicine for
the afflicted one. She regarded herself
as so fortunate in owning malady
which required such delicate treatment.
She knew 1t would bring her vast fame
among the members Of her set. That
they would be Jealous, too, did not
lessen her pleasure. The harpist was
sent for. and an arrangement made by
which she was to play three afternoons
each week for four weeks The harpist
charged 5000 a week for her. services,
but the patient did not worry about this
SO much pleasure and novelty for pal
try $500 was unquestionably cheap. So
the harpist came on Monday, Wednes-
day ana Friday. and played while the
afflicted one reclined on a couch in the
music room.
A modiste was called in to fashion
some house gowns which would give the
patient q less robust look, and when
these were speedily fixed up she determ-

relating to her. These notes speak first
of her fortune and then causally refer

fact that Miss Fair has millions has

The Effect of the Ralnes L.v

A. Conan Doyle has been telling in
recent publication about his trip in the
desert on baggage camels. He unre-
servedly states that after an interim of
five days you can't say baggage camels:
you call the brutes cammage baggles.
We can believe this for have we not all
gone about before this, trying to talk
about Day Conan Oyle. and then fetch
ing up on A. Donan Coyle? And If a
man with such drool of name wants
to find anything mixing about cabbage
bammles,h he needn't find fault il we can't
twist his lop-eared name into our lar
ynges. What brutes of parents he must
have had to handicap him with such a
name like Cay Doynan Ale, anyway.
This would make a first-rate Raines law
test, by the way. If a guest" could saw

in Arctic discoveries will appreciate the

in preparing them, and in gathering the
