DISCOVERS A SHAM TOBACCO.
New jersey Inventor Claims Much
for His New Substitute for
the .sWeed."

Charles Eros, a chemist living at
ranwood, y. j., has invented what he
says is perfect substitute for tobacco,
with which he hopes to revolutionize
the tobacco industry.
Such an article has been the life study
CT Eros, but it is only recently he per-
fected the product. Experts have test
ed it, and were unable to tell the differ
ence between the substitute and the
genuine leaf tobacco.
The appearance, odor. taste, effect on
the system, are all reproduced, the in
Nentor says, and the difference between
the genuine plug and the sham can only
be told by microscopic investigation or
chemical analysis.
The one essential difference between
the real tobacco leaf and the substitute
is the absence of the nicotine in the
latter.

The Golden Rule

There Is only one rule that is worthy
OF this name. 1t is the rule for hu-
man life enunciated by the Author OF
Christianity. 1t is the basis Of that
brotherhood which the Gospel pre-
claims and which 1t secures as far as
1t prevails. And yet there are those
b tell us hat this rule was not
original with Christ-that He found II
in the writings of the religious teach
ers who went before Him. But when
we examine those older rules we find
that they are radically different from
those of our Lord. They are negative
merely, while His Is positive. They
tell men what they should not do,
while He tells them what they should
do, as the following will show: Con-
tucius (B. c. 50o): What you do not
like when done to yourself. do not do
to Others" Isocrates (B. c. 400: do
not do to others that which would
make you angry IL done by others to
you" Hillel CA. D. ~: do not unto
another what thou wouldst not have
another do unto thee" Llrist "a. D.

should do to you, do We even SO to
them" Here we have the Chinese.

Halls Catarrh Cure
LIS a constitutional cure. Price, 76c.


There was an accident on a Portland
street the other day, and this is how
1t happened: A tramp walking up the
street saw a benevolent looking wheel
man riding down and started to head
him off. Just then a dog on the same
side of the street noticed a cat on the
opposite side and made for it. The
dog didn't notice the tramp, and the
wheelman took no account of the dog.
The result was that the dog went be-
tween the legs of the tramp and rolled
that individual over on his back. The
wheelman struck dog and tramp and
took a header over them. The wheel
man struck frantically at the dog and
his blow landed on the nose of the
tramp, while the dog made an assault
on the tramp, and, missing him. made
life exciting for the wheelman. At last
they untangled themselves, and the
tramp and the wheelman trailed bad
language, one up and one down the
street, while the dog stood and growled
at both. Meanwhile the cat emerged
from a hole in the lumber pile where
she had taken refuge and watched the
three with evident interest.-Lewiston

as Food.

London Post: In Morocco at tins
time entire wagon loads OF locusts are
brought to the market In Fee, because
they form a regular article OF food for
the Moors who inhabit this part OF
North Africa. Here, also, the locusts
are eaten in every style, picked, sailed,
simply dried, smoked, or in any other
possible way, except raw The negroes
on the northern coast of Africa prefer
locusts to pigeons, and they eat from
200 to 800 at a sitting. They remove
head, wings and legs, boil them for
half an hour in water, then add salt
and pepper, and fry them in vinegar.
In a similar way locusts are prepared
at other points In Africa and Asia.
Preserved in salt pickle they form a
staple article Of commerce. Locusts
in Africa are also compressed, when
fresh, in barrels, and are then dished
out like butter at meal times.

FAD FOR "RUBBINGS."
hat They Are and Where They
Come From,

What They Are and where They
Come From,
Many years ago-a period usually
designated by the word merry
there were scattered all over England
churches upon whose floors and walls
were innumerable brass tablets OF
more or less artistic design, to the
memories Of lords and ladies, or rich
merchants and their wives, says Har-
per's Bazaar. Then a period Of turbu-
lence set in and "Old Noll," at the head
of the parliamentarians, marched up
and down the land and considerable
damage was done. In the more prom
inent places these memorial brasses
were torn from their settings and moth
ing remains to show where they were
but a stone matrix here and there.
However, in out-of-the-way places,
many, more or less worn, are still In
existence. Those that were on the
floors have in some cases been placed
On the walls, sometimes In inches and
sometimes so high as to be reached
only by a step ladder. A traveller tells

churches recently and found a party OF
young ladies busily engaged In SONS
sort OF athletic exercise. He says:
They had paper fastened to the walls
and were scrubbing the surface with
great dexterity and gradually bringing
out, by means Of a black wax compo-
sition, the forms of knights and monks.
The old rector, whom | met outside,
explained that this was called rub
bling brasses,' and that the last year
or two had shown a decided increase in
the number Of %'rubbers.' A fair de-
voice Of the art proved to me that we
were on the eve of what might be call
ed a new fad Of the traveller and tour
list. This person was a young Ameri-
can woman who had made some forty
odd rubbings. She said 1t was one of
the most fascinating Of hobbies. The
more you rubbed the more you learn
ed of old N and costumes and let
tering. This young lady belonged to
a club every member Of which must
have rubbed a brass dating prior to
the year 1900. An exhibition ia held
now and then and the production OF a
find is an event. These rubbings, es-
pecially some of the smaller ones, when
mounted and framed in a proper man
ner, make a very decorative feature in
a hall or library or even In a bedroom
and then everybody cannot get
them! Mr.. George Fiske of Boston has
the largest and most complete colleo-
ton of rubbings in the unIted States.
His halls are covered with mounted
and framed examples and others are
kept on wooden rollers like maps"

a beautiful girl, married the prince for
his wealth and rank. He is a Hindu
Of ancient royal family, fabulous
wealth, but unpleasant habits. The
viceroy of midas wife takes prece-
dence of the wife of a native prince,
but the Princess Dhuleep Singh count
ed on the fact that the vicereines are
usually old and unattractive to make
herself a queen in India. The appoint
ment OF Mr.. Curzon, with his beautiful,
