Indians All Smoke from Early Child
hood to OLD Age.

Indians All Smoke from Early Child
hood to OLD Age.
When Sir Walter Raleigh. in whose
debt all smokers must everlastingly re-
main, was surprised one morning by
his servant, who found him smoking
pipe, and, thinking that he was on fire,
threw bucket of water over him, he
inaugurated that discomfort which, it
is said, all users of the weed must un-
dergo by way OF preliminary training;
yet, oddly enough, in the home of to-
bacco, among the Indian tribes, no such
preliminaries are undergone by nco-
phytes. it is no unusual thing to see
an Indian mother smoking a cigarette
and occasionally allowing her child,
still in arms, to take puff or two. The
average Indian commences to smoke
when he is less than year old, and con-
tiuues the practice until he dies; but he
seldom smokes to excess, and he can
hardly be said to smoke regularly in
the way that we do. A report by the
Smithsonian institution. now in press,
contains some information on the sub
iect of smoking among the Indians
which Is of interest.
The Indians do not regard tobacco as
we do, nor do they use il in the same
way. While there is a social side to
their smoking, the principal use OF the
leaf is ceremonial and religious. 1t
has always been so with them. and even
NOW, when the native preparations are
largely replaced by the cheaper aud
more convenient supply at the traders
stores. the old religious feeling is still
there. There is something about to-
bacco which turns the mind of the
smoker into contemplatiye moods, the
savage mind not less than the mind Of
the poet.
The Indian viii buy whatever he needs
when he has money-sugar, coffee, cal
leo or what-not-but he cannot bring
himself to buy tobacco; he cannotpro-

IRON MILLS TO CLOSE
To Remain So Until the Wage
Scales Are Settled
NO SERIOUS TROUBLE EXPECTED.
The Question Is TO BE Taken Up and
Settled Deflnitely-No General Strike
Is to Be Ordered-The Proceed
ings Are to BE Friendly.

Pittsburg, June 29.-All the union
iron mills in the country, the tin plate
plants and sheet mills will close to-
morrow night and remain closed until
the wage scales are settled. No serious
trouble is expected, and the failure to
adjust the wage schedules before the
close of the year is not an indication
that strike is to be inaugurated.
President Garland of the Amalga-
mated association denies a telegraphic
report from Chicago that he Will order
a general strike at the plants Of the IL
linois Steel company If the scale is not
signed for the Bay View mill before
Thursday.
He said the Bay View and all the
union iron mills in the country will
close on that day, pending a settlement
of the scale, but that a suspension is
necessary at this time for annual re-
pairs, and that manufacturers are not
in a hurry to come to a settlement at
once.
The iron scale will be taken up at tho
conference at Youngstown tomorrow.
AS the present agreement expires on to-
morrow night, all the tin plate plants,
with the exception of four nOnuniOn
concerns, win close at that time There
will be no difficulty in arranging the
iron and steel sheet scale. 1t is pracsi-
cally settled now. but the manufactur-
ers will not sign until the tin plate
scale is adjusted at the mines at Tho
rates that are now being paid
Another meeting of the board VII
