II 90 not mean that there should be
winding paths-or English gardens, as
they are known. This would destroy the

the statues now on the grounds.
For instance. those of La Sale and
Laclede at one end. opposite each other:
those of Jefferson and Napoleon at the
other while the Louisiana Purchase Mon
ument might be moved and placed facing

those of DE Soto and Joliet. could be re-
moved and erected at desirable spots

SECRETS FOR SMOKERS.
Things Not Generally Known About
the Weed.

How many people, even among the
most confirmed smokers, know what Is
the difference between Turkish and
Virginia tobaccos? The smoker. OF
course. can tell you which Is which at
the first Whit; but II you ask him what,
the original distinction Ii between the
two he viii tell you that one comes
from Turkey and The other from the
states. He is wrong. You could grow
Turkish and virginian tobaccos IN tho
same field, for they are merely two
different varieties OF the same plant.
Turkish is the leaf Of "Nicotiana Rus
tica," while virginian is "Nlcotina Au-
gustipolia." OF course, the two are
often blended by tobacconists.
Again, what constitutes the differ
ence between strong and mild to-
baccos? 1t is simple enough. The
strong product Is 80 manufactured that
1t burns badly--or, perhaps one should
say, slowiy--the result being that the
contained nicotine is distilled In an
unaltered state. Mid tobaccos are
those which burn we'll, and thus their
contained nicotine Is consumed or de-
composed. with the result that a less
narcotic smoke Is formed.
We often hear cheap cigars spoken
of as cabbage leaves" and doubtless
many people believe that these are
actually adulterated with other sub
stances than tobacco. Often in such
a weed the outside wrapper is noticed
to be patched with pale green and this
fact is held proof Of the cabbage leaf
libel. The piece of greenish leaf is real
tobacco which has been plucked un-
ripe, or not properly cured. 1t is only
to be found in thin, poor leaf. N
There is an old standing tradition
that cigars with spots on them are
better than others. A smart American
grower has invented machine for
sprinkling growing tobacco with a So
luton Of potash to produce these spots.
1t need hardly be said that the whole
idea is an absolute delusion. Tobacco
for cigarette making is sprinkled with
water before use. A London tobacco
manufacturer has recently made the
odd discovery that the water from
well known petrifying spring used for
this purpose gives the resulting cigar
cites most agreeable flavor, and cigar
cites SO manufactured are soon to be
on the market.
