The Tobacco Combine Fighters.

LONDON, June 7.-The Imperial To- bacco company has received a report from the agents it sent to the United States for the purpose of organizing a fight against the American tobacco combine. This report says that large number of additional agents, buyers and experts have already been engaged and that architects have been commis- stoned to design number of large leaf factories. The Imperial Tobacco company intends to start in the tobac- co business at Greenville, Kinston and Danville and at other points through out Virginia and North and South Caro- lima.

EMBARRASSING SITUATION.

They were discussing the fondness TOT perfumery manifested by many persons, which reminded the physi- clan in the group of a queer case that recently came under his observation.
 Two ladies called on me-" he said. and while one of them was in consul tation with me in my private room the other whiled away her time by in- yestigating the contents of large case of bottles, jars, etc, in the outer apart ment. Between the two rooms is a glass door, over which is drawn a shade, but the shade happens to be torn across one corner. so that it is possible to see from the inner room into the outer office.
 Hearing a rattling among the bot ties, stepped to the glass door and discovered the lady in the act of talk ing down one bottle after another and smelling the contents. At length she got hold of something which had a pleasing odor, for finally she poured some of the liquid into her hand and smelled of it again, then hastily rubbed the liquid upon her nose and portions of her face contiguous thereto, and tOOh lCI oOelt, do oAiC AOdAu t& AuSLIAA5 in the inner room.
 "Knowing what the result would be, detained the ladies in consulta- tion for several moments. By that time as the one with a. desire for per fumery sat near warm stove, her nose and portions of her face began to turn deep olive color. and before they departed had assumed beautiful dark brown. She had mistaken my favorite hair dye for perfumery. Need less to say that she became an in valid' and wasn't visible to her friends for a week."-New York Times.

One of Them Escaped. somehow.


 The wild pigeon, which existed in countless millions 40 or 50 years ago, is practically extinct, so far as this country is concerned. Some idea of how it has become extinct may be gath cred from an incident which occurred in Chicago. The last wild pigeon seen in Chicago, so far as known, was en- countered one morning in 1894 by Ed ward B. Clark, an ornithologist and bird-lover. He was strolling through Lincoln park, a favorite resort for birds, and saw the pigeon sitting on the topmost bough of a tree. He was examining it with interest through powerful feld-glass and feasting his eyes on its beautiful plumage, when nasty exclamation from some one be- hind him caused him to turn his head. A middle-aged maa was looking hun- grily at the bird. Good graciousl" said the man. Chats wild pigeoni It's the first one Eve seen for 80 years. wish I had a gunr'- outh's Com panion.

Douglas Arthur Teed. the well-known
artist, has fourteen oil paintings on ex-
hibition at the Griffin Art shop, which
are, in more than one respect, remark
able. In the first place, Mr.. Teed has
a surprising versatility, and it is rather
difficult to say that he does better in
this or that line. He does not paint by
the yard, yet he does canvases of mod
erately large size. while still painting
others with all the exquisite detail Of
miniatures. He does soft Corot-like
effects, and others with breadth and
passionate feeling of a Bridgman. His
genre work is superb. and yet he paints
landscapes with the fidelity of one who
leans very. very close to Nature in her
various moods.

the results. Some of the horses insisted

PAGAN RITES IN SCOTIA.
Many Scottish Customs That Have
Their Origin in Superstition.

From Stray Stories.
Nearly all travellers in Central Africa
have referred to the curious customs
prevalent among almost all pagan ma
tive tribes of driving quantities of nails
into sacred trees and other objects that
have been adjudged worthy OF vener-
alton, and this not in malice, but as a
religious rite, the nails in question be-
ing intended as votive offerings. En-
actly the same thing may be witnessed
today at the sacred well of st. Mae
bruha, in Loeb Maree Rosshre, where
Is an ancient oak tree studded with
countless nails of all sizes, the offer
ings of invalid pilgrims who came to
worship and be cured.
Pennies and half-pennies also are to
be seen in enormous quantities driven
edgewise in the tough bark. and a
friend of the writer's who visited the
spot some little time back discovered
in cleft high up in the trunk what
he took to be a shilling. on being eX-
tracted, however, it proved to be coun-
terfeit Probably the donor, finding
that he could get no value for his coin
in the natural world, concluded he
might as we'll try, as last resource,
what effect 1t might have on the spir-
itual.
OF course, the poor cotters and others
who flock to st. Maebruha with their
nails and their pence do not for a
moment admit that they are assisting
at pagan ceremony. But they most
undoubtedly are. Well worship has al
ways occupied an important place in
paganism, and the sacred oak. before
which each pilgrim must thrice kneel
ere humbly presenting his Offering
what is it but an obvious survival of
the sacred groves of Druidcal times?

THE MAN WITH THE PUNC
TURED TIRE.


They lit of the creature who wields the
hoe.
or the toiler behind the plow:
They warble n psalm to the horny palm
And they garland the sunburned brow.
There's praise for the laddie behind the
gun
That hemorrhage hath of fire;
But here's to the victim of Fate's worst
blow
The man with the punctured tire.
There's fame in his optic that bodeth III
There's dangerous set of jaw;
There's mighty unrest In his heaving
chest
And he scoffs at the moral law.
Then woe to the creature--or man or
beast
That arouseth the smoldering ire
or him who must trundle his bike by
hand
The man with the punctured tire.
