been carefully guarded by the. Chinese,
for it was not introduced into. any
other oriental nation until after its
discovery in America.
When Columbus first landed. on the
island of San Domingo in the West In
dies, he found tobacco in use among
the natives Shere, who smoked i, when
made into small cylindrical rolls. and
wrapped in a maize leaf. The Indians
on the continent smoked, it in pipe,
and among all the tribes from Peru
to Upper Canada the first discoveries
found the plant to be in use, and to
have been known to. them from so
early period that the time of its first
discovery was unknown.
The smoking of tobacco with the In
dams partook largely of the nature OF
religious rite. The seeds of the to-
baeco plant were first brought to Eu-
rope by Gonzalo Hernandez de Ovaido
who introduced it into Spain, where II
was first cultivated as an ornamental
plant, till a traveller who had noted its
use among the American indians called
attention 10 its narcotic properties
The name is said to have been taker
from Tobacco, province of Yucatan
though others derive it from Tohago
an island in the Caribbean sea, anC
yet others from Tobasco, in the gulf o.
| Florida.
The practice Of smoking the drlet
leaf of the plant became general il
Spain and its manufacture into snuff
followed soon after. 1t was intro
duced into Italy in 1860 and about tht
same time into France. The first t

A MoNKEYNN A SHOPPING TOUR

In the National Magazine Maitland
Leroy Osborne writes of his recollec-
tions of p I. Barnum and incidents re-
lating to the winter quarters of the
big show. He says: "A large monkey
escaped from its cage one day, and
eluding the vigilance of the keepers,
started on a tour Of the downtown
shopping district A millinery store
was thrown into flutter of agitation
at its entrance. Customers and clerks
fled to the work room, and after lock-
ing the door and barricading it, unan-
imosuly tainted. The monkey pro-
ceeded to inspect the stock of bonnets.
This amusement soon losing its nov
city, it wandered from the store with
la wonderful creation of the milliner's
art upon its head, and spying an APP
preaching horse car, made directly for
it. The driver departed for headquar-
tiers leaving the simian intruder tenn
porarily in charge. One portly gentle
man, wakened from a brief nap by the
commotion, gave one glance at the
monkey and sought the nearest drug
store, where he collapsed in a chair.
and in a shaking voice called for bro
mo settler and temperance pledge. A
fond mother dropped her offspring and
dove headlong through an open win
dow of the car. The horses, suddenly
bereft of the gentle admop.tion of the
driver, glanced back to ascertain the
reason, saw the apparition behind and
broke into run. The car careered
down the street at an unheard-of rate.
People waiting on corners signaled for
1t to stop, caught a glimpse of it's lone
ly occupant and forgetting their hurry.
cheerfully waited for the next car. At
curve in the track the horses broke
loose and galloped away, And here a
valiant policeman boarded the car and
found the monkey, with the hat
perched on one side OF it's head. hug
ging the abandoned baby head down
ward to its breast, with an expression
of placid enjoyment on its counte-
nance"
