The recent agitation in various states
 of the United States against the use of

of the United States against the use of
 cigarettes has lead a THE prominent German sta- WORLDS tlstician to investigate TOBACCO the production and con- USERS. sumption of tobacco
 throughout the world. He finds. among other things. that the United States easily ducer and consumer of the weed in it's various forms.
 Altogether about s2S. S.OOO. 900 pounds of tobacco are annually produced in this country. as against 3s5. .OOO.0O0 pounds in the Indies and 90s. % pounds in Rus sia. Austria and Hungary. The Chin ese Empire Is supposed to rank next in importance. with 1l0.O0O. 900: although the German savant has not been able to satisfy his conscience as regards his Chinese figures.
 Is taken into consideration u,l99. .450. 900 inhabitants, according to Amalius), 1t will be found that the number of per sons who use tobacco approximate the stupendous figure of 51.0OO.O0O The average yearly consumption of an in- dividual is therefore about four and one-haf pounds. or about six ciga- rtttes per diem.
 This average varies in different coun- tries. In Holland. for example. 1t amounts to six and six-tenths pounds; in Belgium to four and one-half pounds: In Turkey to two and one-half pounds in the United States to two and two-thirds pounds. and in France to two pounds. Thus 1t will be seen that the average in the Unitei States Is, with the exception of France. lower than in any other country in the world. in proportion to its size.
 Passing to matches. the requisite of every smoker. the authority in question finds the greatest production in Grtat Britain. in which country everysinhab- itant consumes eight matches per day. The total consumption is therefore Ill., 0OO.OO0,00O matches per annum.
 In Belgium each inhabitant uses seven matches per diem: in the United States six; In France five. and in Aus tria four. One of the largest match manufactories in the world is in oper- ,~ this plant 22.0O0 pounds of phosphorus are used and 25,OOO 100000 matches are produced yearly.

AFFAIR CRY.

z walk the streets I do not Rsow,
A stranger, i'll at ease;
And alien faces come and go
That do not please;
The very airs that round me blow
Blow from strange seas.
/ know q hill in mine own land
Where I would be;
| know a h~earth-fire burning bright
That burns for me.
Around that home, this winter-tide,
The snow lies deep;
The midnight loon shines clear and
high,
The yagrant winds are all asleep.
An exile in this sultry land,
In dreams / seek those snow-helds

The hill, the hearth-fire burning
bright,
And thee.

A turning point in Webster's cSreer
is thus described in the first Of Prof.
McMaster's papers on Daniel Webster
In the Century:
Once there he set off, without
friends or even letters of introduction,
to find an Office in which to study.
The youth who had given his school
to Ezekiel went along, and in the
course Of their search they presented
themselves one day to Mr.. Christie
pher Gore, told him that Webster was
from the country, had studied law,
had come to Boston to work, not to
pupil, and asked that a place be kept
for him till letters could be had from
New Hampshire. Impressed by the
presence and seriousness of the I'M
known youth, MI. Gore talked with
Webster awhile, and when he was
about to 60 said: "You look as though
you might be trusted. You say you
come to study, not to waste time. /
will take you at your word. You may
hang up your hat at once and write at
your convenience to New Hampshire
for your letters" Describing the
scene In a letter, Webster declares
that when he was introduced by his
friend, who was as much a stranger
as he to Mr.. Gore, his name was pro
nounced i~ndistinctly, n that he was
d week in the office before Mr.. Gore
knew what to call him. This" h
said, Il call setting out in the world.
But I most deYoutly hope that / shall
never have to set out again.

The different countries of Europe
hold different ideas as to the age when
responsibility begins and a person can
be regarded as knowing the meaning
Of his actions. In England the law
looks upon everyone over the age of
seven as a responsible being, and
every child beyond that age can be
prosecuted as a criminal. The same
age is accepted III Russia and Portugal.
In France and Belgium the age Is
eight; III Italy and Spain It Is nine;
Norway, Greece, Austria, Denmark
and Holland decline to prosecute q
child under tea. and this is the rule ID
some Of the Swiss cantons.

Nulty. He came here a lew weeks ago
and on the first of September, by maxi
ing a small payment, bought the black
smith shop of B. f. Barteau. He grad
ually began to borrow money around
town, stating he had large ranch
in the Bitter Root valley and about
500 head of cattle there on which he
expected to realize soon. Saturday eve
ming he procured small sums from sew
eral persons on his checks, which when
presented to the bank Monday morning
were rejected. A complaint was made
against him for obtaining money under
false pretenses, but Monday afternoon
when the officers began to look for him
he could not be found. This morning,
however, he was on the streets but be-
fore he could be apprehended he dis
appeared again. He is believed to be
hiding about town and will be arrested.
His borrowings and worthless checks
will probably foot up to about $500.

Bozeman, Sept. 19.-There is trouble
between the city of Bozeman and the
contractors who are putting in the sew
ers. The quarrel may result in the
city doing the work itself. The mat
ter will be decided next weeks.
The contract was let few weeks ago
to Mr.. Ryan of Butte to build the sew
ers. the price being about $4,000.
Ever since the work was begun there
has been more or less friction between
the contractor and those members Of the
council who have the work In charge.
Last week the men engaged in digging
the trenches UP Church avenue en-
countered so much water that 1t be-
came apparent an engine would have
to be used to pump out the water be-
fore any further work could be done.
Mr.. Ryan was away and so the fore
man laid the men off. Mr.. Ryan re-
turned Friday. and after an interview
with the sewer committee it was de-
cided to call meeting of the council,
and a short time later the aldermen and
the mayor met in special session for the
purpose of listening to the contractors
grievances, but he failed to put in an
appearance.
Engineer Crookes was sent out to see
him, but he said he had nothing to
say.
The council thereupon passed resolu-
ton giving Mr.. Ryan 4S hours in which
to commence work.
Tie time was up last evening, but
not a shovelful Of dirt had been throAn
out of the trenches.
