Virtues of English Tobacco.

A retail shop on Forty second street, New York, does quite business in i'm ported English tobacoos. It's windows are gay with the advertising cards of certain manufacturers in England.
 Now, no one will pretend that Eng fish smoking tobacoos are as good as American. The raw leaf from which they are manufactured has first to be brought into England from this country, and the United States is not sending its best hogshead tobacco abroad. On account of the tariff the imported English to- baccos are much dearer than those which are manufactured in this coun- try, and since, as have said, the home product is so much better than the for eign it Is not easy to explain why there should be any demand for the English goods in this city at all. I asked the dealer if he sold much of the English tobacco, and he answered that the de- mand was quite large and quite steady.
 eff you ask me how it comes that I am able to sell these goods, shouldn' t be able to tell you, excepting on the theory that those who buy it are Anglo maniacs, who love English things be- cause they are English. They fancy that every time they buy package of this English pipe tobacco they advertise the fact that they have been in England and have acquired the taste there. But since they advertise it only to me, who don't care rap whether they have been in England or not, can't for the life of me see why they do it. "-Tobac- co Trade Journal.

Couldn't Be Deceived.

Dennis McCarty, true son of Erin, was suing his neighbor, William Smith, for damages occasioned by the defend ants carelessness in allowing his don key to escape from his stable and tres pass upon plaintiffs premises, thus do- ing much mischief in his garden.
 McOarty stepped into the witness box to give evidence in support of his case, and when he had finished the law yer who appeared for the defendant pro- ceeded to cross examine him.
 "Now do you mean to say that all this injury to the property of which you speak was caused solely by Smith s donkey?"
 'Sartinly, sor.
 "Oh, indeed; and where did you first see this animal which you declare has been the source of so much mischief?'
 ''I saw him tied up in defendant s sthable.''
 "Yes, and where did you next see him?''
 ''On my prinlises, to be sure.'
 The lawyer now saw his chance and in his best manner pressed the question.
 "How did you know it was the same donkey?'
 "How did I know?" was the derisive exclamation. Eff I saw yez tied up in a sthable don't yez suppose I'd know ye when yez got loose?"
 The plaintiff was excused from fur ther evidence. Spare Moments.

Get Trusted For Their Fares.

It is perhaps not generally known, even in Brooklyn, that persons of re- spectacle appearance may travel on the street cars of that city when they have no money. A woman who has left her purse at home or man who has spent all his change speculating in stocks, if ordinarily well dressed, has only to tell the conductor the condition of affairs, on boarding car, to get carried to any desired point.
 The conductor gives the penniless passenger an envelope addressed to the office of the company, in which to for ward later the lacking nickel. This is done as a matter of course, and only a passenger who looks disreputable meets with refusal
 The system has been in operation some time, which is apparent proof that the passengers who thus get trusted for their fares use the envelopes given them for the purpose for which they are in- tended. New York Sun.

The inland lakes are fully as terrible in their wrath. Galilee, when aroused in a storm, is overwhelming, and yet that sea crouched in his presence and licked his feet. He knew all the waves and winds. When he beckoned, they came. When he drowned, they fled. The heel of his foot made no indentation on the solidified water.
