To the tobacco man nothing can be
more interesting than what may be call
ed the evolution of the tobacco taste.
Times, change and it is becoming appar-
ent that the tobacco habit changes with
them. Each new generation OF those ad-
dicted to the use Of the weed brings
into the world certain variations Of the
manner Of chew and smoke until. In time,
the present, through gradual accumulation
Of minor. changes, bears but slight re-
semblance to the past.
It has been said that the people OF to-
day, and, particularly the American peo-
pie are much more nervous than those
OF former times, and, perhaps, therein may
lie the secret of a change In tobacco
taste which was never more obvious than
now, and which Is even at this time in
process of consummation The mild chew
ard smoke are less taxing up
OH the nerves than this strong,
and hence are more eagerly sought
than heretofore. But whatever may be
the cause. the change is certainly there,
and is interesting to contemplate, 1t has
already brought into the tobacco world
a new factor in the shape of q new varie-
ty of the weed: it will in time effect a
complete reversing Of conditions, elevat-
ing bright and sun-cured tobacco to
place above the dark smoked, which IN
days gone by held the ascendency.
Men experienced in the trade are prac-
tically agreed that the world is grad
:ually acquiring a taste for the finer. mild
er chew and smoke. The heavy tobacco.
dark and strong, which has for many
years been the popular fayorite, is such
no more Gradually. but surely. the de-
rand for sun and air-cured tobacco is
increasing, and it is generally conceded
that it will continue to do so. AS the
sun-cured increases the smoked decreases.
From the West there has come the hurley
leaf. which, twenty-five years ago, was
IRA ctically unknown, but which now, ac-
cordins to some, is. the most popular
va riety used in the country. In Virginia,
there has been marked decline in the
use of smoked tobacco. and this falling
off continues to such an extent that ware
housemen are advising planters to drop
the raising of this kind of tobacco and
take to sun--cured- !. iheys predict that IN
time to come the section in which smoked
tobacco is raised viii be almost too small
to find upon the map

Importance.
The question Of color in horses has
for q long time past raised consider
able discussion in the columns of the
London Live Stock Journal, and many
interesting letters and notes respect
ing it have appeared, writes a cor
respondent of that publication. In the
majority of cases, however, the chief
point considered has been how to get
rid of chestnuts, grays and roans,
which appear to be the more generally
unfavOrable colOrs.
Many of the best and weightiest stall
lions we have had (speaking of the
earlier days of breeding) have been of
these commonly unpopular colors, and
latterly such colts as these, weighty
and good, have been castrated solely
on account of their color, the owner
not realizing the folly of the thing un-
til he sees his discarded colt selling as
a gelding at $50 guineas or more. Then
he exclaims, Il wish l had never cas-
trated him. And well he may.
1t is no uncommon thing nowadays
to see colts of the highest caliber be-
ing shelved because they are chest
nuts. They won't buy a chestnut
stallion" say those who are in the
business. Surely with facts like those
herein stated, and which cannot be re-
futed, staring them in the face breed
ers will never be so foolish as to con-
tinue to discard these fine horses on
account of the shade of color that per
vades the hair.

Annoying Habit.

The habit of some of our theatre-goers
are acquiring of bestirring themselves,
putting on their wraps, hunting up their
rubbers, and otherwise making an all
around nuisance of themselves during
the final moments in the closing scenes
of play is not only i'll bred, but posi-
lively annoying to people who want to
hear the concluding words, and see the
last action before the curtain falls
These people should remember that the
lights will not be turned off nor the
doors locked until every one is out of
the opera house. They can have all the
time they want to make confusion after
the curtain is down. There are not a
great many people who annoy in this
way, but the fewer we have the better
