" UNCLE TOMS CABIN.o

The writer of .uncle Toms Cabin" is spoken of as dead, but her soul will go marching on as long as human ll erty needs friend or advocate. Her great work dwarfs all her other achieve ments, which were not small. It made an instant and powerful impression, it was made can still feel. Uncle Toms Cabin" was emphatically "a book for the times.'' It grew out of the times and was a most powerful agent in m fluencing and changing the times. From the beginning of it's publication in the National Era the story excited great interest. And as 1t progressed the interest grew until it became world wide. There is no such example in It. erature as the immediate and conti1u- ous success of the book. It appeared on March 20, 1852, and over 300,000 cop ies were sold within year. Within eight months twelve shilling editions apeared in England The total num- Der of English editions was forty, aud the aggregate number circulated in Great Britain and it's colonies was es- timated some years since at a million and half. According to MT. Bullen of the British Museum, that library con- tains translations of the book into twenty different languages, these being Armenian, Bohemian, Danish Dutch, Finnish, Flemish, French, German, Hungarian, Illyrian, Italian, Polish. Portuguese, Romaic or modern Greek, Russian, Servian. Spanish, Swedish, Wallachian, Welsh. In some of these there are many different versions or adaptations-ten in French, nine ill German, six in Spanish, and so on.
 Pains were taken to collect these for the museum, on the ground that no purely secular book had ever been SO widely translated.
 l These facts give some indication of the vast influence exerted by "Uucle
 Toms Cabin,' but they are cnly an in l dication- Nobody can justly estimate
 the power of the book in moving hearts and moulding opinions. The critics
 have found much fault with the great
 work, but the people have not minded
 the critics. They have felt the power
 and purpose of the author, and have I done most sincere and loving homage
 to them. The news of her death will
 revive that homage in countless hearts.

T
 the Trade.
 (From the San Francisco Examiner.)
 Among the queerest inventions re- corded at the patent office are ideas for tobacco substitutes. Apparently the whole vegetable Kingdom has been ransacked for material to take the place of the herb nicotian in the manu- fracture of cigars, plug for chewers and fuel for the pipe. There is hardly fla miliar herb whose leaves are not called into requieition. It is no idle tale that the potato, the beet, the cabbage and the turnip help out the commercial supply of the weed For the prepara- ton of these plants and the initiative doctoring of them there are number less ingenious processes.
 Many of the patented substitutes, however, do not pretend to counterfeit tobacco. For example, one inventor has secured exclusive rights in the idea of making cigars with filters of pine needles. The needles are to be gath cred when they are green and full of ldil lIaNltl. A NlGPICi VI lliDift eVE bacco leaf is put around them, and the cigar is guaranteed to burn readily. It is warranted to cure throat and lung trouble. Another patent is for cigars of sunfowerleaves, which are to be cut when the seed ripens. The use of to- bacco wrapper in this case is allowed to persons long accustomed to that weed
 A woman has secured a patent on ci- gars of eucalyptus leaves. She says that they, unlike tobacco, leave T clean and pleasant flavor in the mouth.' Also she claims priority in the notion of employing them for the pipe, for snuff, as tooth powder, and, with suitable fats, in the manufacture of soap and candles. Another inventor proposes to use the leaves of Indian corn, prepared like tobacco, for chew ing and smoking. The stalks of the corn are to be boiled in water to syr- | up, to which is to be added quassia, or capsicum, or "other bitter botanic pro- duct" The leaves, having been dried | in the sun, are to be dipped in this syr- up before making them into cigars and plug.
 A thoughtful individual has devised a preparation that is guaranteed to de- stroy the appetite for tobacco in thirty days. It is composed of gum resin. | beeswax, white wax, poplar bark, Vir- ginia snakeroot and cayenne pepper. Another substitute warranted to allay i the craving is mixture of spikenard, ! red clover, hops, slippery elm bark, l pennyroyal, wild cherry bark, hyssop, | ginseng and tarred rope. All of these
 ingredients are to be dried, powdered | and mixed in certain proportions. A
 patent has been granted for a plug to-

 Shoes are made with pointed toes that extend so far that it's a wonder the wearer does not fall over them. The fashion is very silly one, it makes the foot look large. and unless the toe is we'll stuffed the leather breaks so that the shoe is marred. When only just the little point shows under the skirt the effect of a small foot is given, but more often the whole shoe shows and all proportion is lost. The instep is set too far back from the apparent end of the foot, losing all grace thereby and the length of the foot Is made preposterous. Ali wolTief in these days wear the low shoe, the high boot being adopted by those who think it looks we'll with an outing gown, but who really don't do an out ing. As matter of fact it is only in the low shoe that a woman has the freedom for the ankle that is essential, and, besides, 1t is the universally be- coming The extremely high heel is not much worn, but many generations of such wear have created the hollow instep that positively demands lift at the heel and snug undercurve to the shoe for comfort, In other words the shoe that was once an offence to the conformation of the foot, is now the shoe that fits.

A Japanese gentleman, says the Phil- ndelphia Record who now holds the position of chemist in an iron and steel foundry just outside of the city, has had his religious convictions sadly shattered since his sojourn in this coun- try. He was converted to Christianity in Japan through the efforts of an en- thusiastic Presbyterian missionary there, and because the missionary wore a silk hat the faithful Japanese sup posed that a silk hat was always an adjunct to Christianity. When the steamer which brought him to Ameri
 ca reached San Francisco it was board- ed by man in silk hat who swore continuously in a most shocking style. Such language from a man who was certainly Christian because he wore a silk hat upset the OrientaPs belief, and he shortly lapsed into agnosticism.

About n Bond Issue.

WASHINGTON, Dec. a3.-It can be
stated on authority that the m
that the President has decided to an
u another bond issue at once is
without foundation. The only men,
beers Of the Cabinet who saw the Pres
ident to day were Secretary Lamont
who had just returned to the city and
called to pay his respects, Olney and
Carlisle. The general situation was
discussed informally, but the question
of the immediate issue OF bonds was
not considered.
1t Is stated that in view OF the
Presidents recent message to Con.
gress asking for legislation which
might render another issue
sary, it would be scant courtesy TO
that body to anticipate it's action. The
President has himself repeatedly stat
ed, however, hat he would protect
the public credit at whatever cost
should the necessity Of the situation
require heroic action, but Mt the pres
ent moment 1t is argued that such u
necessity has not arisen. Moreover
it is doubted whether, in view of the
present state OF the money market at
home and abroad, u large loan could
be tioated, except at n great sacrifice
to the Government. With money at
% per cent it is not seer how export.
ers can afford TO make any shipments
OF gold, and for this eason apprehen-
sion OF large Withdrawals predicted
before a break in the market occurred
Is no longer felt.
There Seems to be, however, no
reasonable doubt that should heavy
gold shipments be resumed and Con-
gress fail to pass any immediate legis.
lation, the President would issue
bonds to any amount the situation
might justify.
