WORSE THAN TOBACCO.
Some Deadly Substitutes Which Are
Smoked In Rural England.

Some Deadly Substitutes Which Are
Smoked In Rural England.
From Answers.
Tobacco is not the only weed that Is
smoked in Britain-not by long way.
There is no need to go to the far East
to ferret out weird and poisonous
smoking habits; they lie all around us.
In Somerset and the southwest coun-
ties a great many persons smoke a
connection called "sundew." 1t is not
a new fad, tut has been in use for 300
years there. Sundew is a mixture of
sun-dried beet leaves, parsley and pep
permint-a very little of the latter. 1t
is not very harmful mixture, though
it conduces to considerable drowsiness,
and is anything but good for the teeth.
You may notice in the western coun-
tries a good many persons with brown
ed or blackened teeth; it is the result
of Sundew smoking. The stuff is not
pleasant to stranger, for it is very
hot and choky and takes a great deal
of getting used to.
Sundew is often homemade, and
most of the country peple are experts
in July for the sundew harvest, and
it is always dried and mixed by
women. However, there are three reg
ular Sundew factories in Somerset,
where bushels of the mixture are turn
ed out. 1t can be bought for from
two-pence to threepence per ounce, &C
cording to quality.
A little farther north-in GlouceS-
tershire and mid Wales = you will
strike much worse habit. The people
there-town and country alike-are
much given to smoking "glissop." Glis-
sop is a sort of dry mash of henlock
leaves-the young shoots that grow in
spring-burdock and ground chick
beans This can also be bought at
some shops, though most of it is
homemade. When bought it fetches
fourpence an ounce. This stuff is
smoked in short wooden pipes with
very small bowls, and is really disas-
trOuS in its effects. Like sundew, it
needs practice to get used to, but is
much pleasanter to the palate than
that compound. Its first effect on a
smoker is loss of memory, and this in
creases till the smoker, after six
months of the habit, is quite untitled
for any profession that requires much
thought. The eyeSight soon becomes
affected by constant and excessive in
diligence in the habit, which takes hold
of a man like moTphomania and is al
most incurable.
Even small children may be seen
smoking glissop, though, but of the
shape Of the pipes employed, a stranger
would not know that they were not
smoking tobacco, unless he were very
close. The smell of the smoke, how
ever, produces a tickling of the nos
trils and a sort of giddiness which is
quite unmiStakable.
Tobacco is far less injurious, even
when INDUCED in to excess, than this
poisonous compound. Althous h it is
dearer than ordinary "shag" tobacco,
no 1o0 obi foI 70
it always get it instead. They say
they cannot taste or smell even the
strongest tobacco any more than if it
were mist.

RUBBER IN DEMAND.
New Fields Are Wanted to Exc Out
the Supply.

NC" rAelus are wanted to Exc Out
the Supply.
From the New York Sun.
The total amount of rubber that was
brought to the markets for the year
ending June 80 last was 49, $50 tons. OF
this amount Brazil produced 24,750
tons. or a little more than half the
entire supply. Africas share was 19, 800
tons, leaving only 2,200 tons to be sup
piled by the rest of the world India
furnished 1875 tons and the balance of
the supply, 1,705 tons, came from Cen
trail America and parts Of South Amer
lea outside Of Brazil.
When the export Of rubber from
Brazil began, about fifty years ago,
the quantity shipped in a year was only
49o tons. The British minister in
Brazil estimates that the area of rub
Der producing territory in Brazil that
Is still untouched amounts to 961 900
square miles. or nearly q third of the
area of the United States exclusive of
Alaska. The great difficulty in devel-
oping these rubber regions is the
scarcity of population and the conse-
quent necessity of carrying food sup
plies everywhere. In all the vast rub
Der regions of Brazil it is estimated
that there are only 100000 inhabitants.
The rubber districts that thus far have
furnished the supply are becoming ex-
hausted and the total production last
year was less than in the preceding
year
In Africa there was until recently
only one region which had been Very
conspicuous as rubber producer This
was the Portuguese colony of Angola,
which in 1889 sent to the market 1728
tons, while the Gold Coast and the
Lagos together furnished only 912 tons.
In that year the Congo basin appear
ed in the market as a source of sup
ply. It's progress since then has been
rapid and in 1897 1000 tons were ex-
ported from the upper Congo, though
the rubber had to be carried a long
distance on the heads of porters. nhe
present prospects are that the Congo
will some day be BraZil's nearest rival
in the production of rubber.

INDIAN SONGS.

From the Buffalo Express
A novel use of the graphophone has
been made by members Of the Ameri-
can Folklore society in preserving In
dian songs. The. meeting of the folk
lore section of the American Associa-
ton for the Advancement of Science In
New York the other morning was en-
livened by a production of number of
these songs under the direction of Miss
Alice c. Fletcher. The machine sang
war, peace, love, wolf, funeral and
death songs, but it was noticed that to
the unframed ears of most Of the audi
ence the distinction between the yari-
Gus classes of music was not very
great. When Miss Fletcher had finish
ed with the wax records Of the genuine
article DR.. Carl Umholtz, an expert
in Mexican Indian lore, sang several
indian songs, which, delivered thus in
the voice Of a white man, went far to
remove the impression regarding In
dian music which the machine had
created.
