TOBACCO AND ITS SLAVES.
Certain Curious Facts Relative to the
Weed Not Generally Known.

Tobacco is a thing of mystery, says
the Washington Post. Some of it's
features and peculiarities are beyond
the ken of mortal man. No doubt a
gentleman of profound erudition and
unanswerable logic might go to st.
Johns parish, Louisiana, and, after
conventional scrutiny, prepare a paper
proving conclusively that perique to-
bacco can be produced just as well
In Rapides or in Terrebonne as there.
No doubt highly scientific analysis
of the soil near Tampico, Mexico, would
show that in all chemical respects it
is identical with that of the VueIta
Abajo, in Pinar del Rio province, Gu
ba. But can any true smoker be con-
verified to either Of these beliefs? It
is easy enough, perhaps, to prove a
thing on paper with formulate, etc.; the
question is one of proving it to the
satisfaction of the consumer. There
, is very great difference. A whole
library of calculations and statistics
goes for nothing when the untutored
smoker takes the weed in his teeth
and subjects it to the vulgar test Of
use.
The question, then, degenerates into
one of personal, though doubtless I'M
informed taste. There are nameless
ana lndescribable factors in the equa-
| ton. There are mysteries as astOund-
| ing as the mystery of life itself.
| The most constant and faithful de-
| voice of tobacco cannot tell whether
| or not his cigar is burning If you blind
| fold him or put him in pitch dark
| room. He may resort to unlawful
means. He may burn his fingers at
| the lighted end or he may inhale the
| smoke. But, in default of one or the
| other of these expedients he has not
the faintest idea whether he is smok-
ing or not smoking. Take off the band
age or light the room so that he can
see and in a second he becomes the
expert and can discriminate between
| the genuine Vuelta Abajo article and
the best cigar produced in any other
part Of the world. No one has ever
yet explained it. The fact remains.
Similarly, no one can give a scientific
reason why cigars fully equal to those
made in PinaP del Rio cannot be pro-
| duced in Mexico, with the same seed,
the same handlers and makers and
with soil chemically Identical. SINH
larly, no one has yet been able to ex-
pound the impossibility of raising the
real perique tobacco Of Louisiana out
side of a very limited locality. These
problems do not yield to science, SO

Feel like taking trip, eh?" said
the barber of the Caxton building, as
he rubbed the cool and creamy lather
across my chin.
"Been too long in one place and want

Doubtless being a king or queen pos
sesses its advantages. The fierce light
that beats upon a throne, however, re-
veals only its disadvantages. No queen
can conceal her age. No king can con-
ceal his temper. And the light that
beats so relentlessly on king and
queen also shines pitilessly on royal
relatives. There is the Princess Helene
of Russia. She is young, pretty and
the first cousin of the car. Princess
Helene'S pet diversion is flirting. She
loves to f1irt, and being an independent
young woman, she insists on flirting.
Were she an ordinary girl this pen
chant would be regarded as an amiable
weakness. But the royal relatives can
not understand it. The car frowns.
, Only the common people applaud. The
princess herself is not to be pitied. She
does not mind even the frown of the
great car. 1t is the men with whom
the princess insists on flirting who suf-
fer. One day she saw young guards
man and rather fancied his looks. She
tossed him a bunch of Violets. The
next day a note followed the violets.
The young guardsman mysteriously dis
appeared. People whispered of Sibe-
ria. The princess was eXasperated and
decided, as an escape from royal lead
ing strings, to marry. Pleased relatives
FASTENED to find suitable match. He
was produced-a good-looking scion of
a royal family. Just at first the
princess found it all amusing. Then
she discovered that she was bored. The
royal sutton was promptly dismissed.
Royal relatives laughed at his dis
comfiture. He took to drink. Other
men have amused the princess for
short periods, only to be discarded
when she wearied of them. But so
much publicity has been given her ac-
lions that men have begun to fight
shy of her. They remember the fate
of the young guardsman. There is no.
body now with whom the princess can
flirt. She is beginning to realize the
disadvantage of being royal.

AIfonso's Queen.

The idea. of being Alfonso's queen is
not dream of fairyland by any
means. Even if the king were a COM
panonablef enough man. the woman
who becomes his wife must stop to
think that the fate of Marie Antoinette
may be hers. Every writer who has in
the last i've years treated the topic
of political and economic situations In
Spain has declared his belief in the
possibility of a revolution in which
the people so long for state reasons
kept Ignorant, would not stop for rea-
son, but would treat the King and
queen in the same way that their
ne1ghbors to the north did their royal
pair log years ago. France and the
rest Of the world has gone so far ahead
in the intervening time that a reVolu-
ton similar to the French one would
be practically impossible in Europe
outside of Spain. The country of Fer
dinand and Isabella is a good century
behind the rest Of the civilized world
in the general population, and might

Of the French revolution.
Alfonso is weakling. That much
is in his race. True, he is too young
yet, and his life has been too narrow
for him tosshayer. developed any very
distinctive traits of character, yet
in his expression there is not the
slightest indication of strength of per-
sonaIty. He will be in the hands of
his advisers, and so long as he keeps
men of the stamp or Sagasta around
him will rule well; but the day that
Alfonso selects council of the Weyler
type he will condemn himself and his
wife to the guillotine. That prospect
is enough to deter any princess In con-
