England FOrbids TObaccOO Raisin

1t Is an odd fact that in England the
cultivation Of tobacco as a crop Is pro-
hibited by tax SO high on every acre
sown with tobacco seed that no Eng
lishman could afford to grow It, except
as Joseph Chamberlain grows orchids
as an expensive fad. The origin OF
this prohibition Is still more curious.
It originated In the reign of Charles
H., when Parliament passed law for
bidding the growth of tobacco in Eng.

aging trade with the new colony Of
