TOBACCO SECRETS.
Turkish and vireinian Leaf. Are v.
Fietles of the Same Plant.

fsrkish and vireinian Leafs Are Va.
rieties of the Same Plant.
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 Mt the first Whit. but
II you ask him what the original dis
tinction is between the two he will tell
you that one comes from Turkey and
the other from the States.
He is wrong. You could grow Turk
isll and Virginia tobaccos in the same
field. for they are merely two different
varieties of the same plant. Turkish
Is the leaf of Nicotiana rustica, while
Virginia is Nicotiana augustipolia. OF
course the two are often blended by to-
bacconists.
Again. what constitutes the differ
ence between '.strong" and mild" to-
baccos? 1t Is simple enough. The strong
product is SO manufactured that it
burns slowly. the result being that the
contained nicotine is distilled in an UNI
altered state Mild tobaccos are those
which burn well, and thus their con-
tnined nicotine is consumed or decom-
posed, with the result that less mar.
cote smoke is formed.
We often hear cheap cigars spoken of
MS cabbage leaves and doubtless
many people believe that these are ac.
tually 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 unripe
or not properly cured. 1t is only to be
found in thin. poor leaf.-London Ex-
press.

ODD BURIAL CUSTOMS.
Some Strange Observance. Among
Australian Triben.

Auntrol1an Vf1Den.
There are some queer customs OBJ
served by the native Australians, their
modes of disposing Of the dead being
noticeable and varied. When mother
loses favorite child she carries the
dead body about with her in box or
casing of bark until decomposition
forces her to dispose of it either by
burial or fire..
In the case of some prominent person
OF the tribe dying his nearest relatives
cut off his hands and keep them as
sacred remembrances, only parting with
them after the odor from the dead
members has become uncomfortable
Then they are thrown into stream.
hidden in hollow tree or burned.
Women are held in such contempt
among the Australian tribes that often
they receive no burial ut all, and it is
rare thing to see one mourned for by
family and friends. But at the funeral
Of man or boy the lamentations are
loud and long, the female mourners be-
ing tile most demonstratiye.
With some of the tribes the practice
of throwing the bodies of the dead over
the branches of trees and leaving them
for nature to dispose Of is observed.

Loud voiced Africann.

The timbre of the voices among CEN
trail Africans is usually good-dcep and
strong in the men, very melodious and
sweet in the women. One notable pc.
culiarity about the people is the forced
key in which they always carry on con-
versation. The ordinary quiet tones Of
civilized speech are scarcely ever heard
among them. They literally shout, and,
such being their habit, it is a matter of
Indifference to them whether the per-
son to whom they are speaking is
close by or twenty yards away. "They
are most tireless chattcrcrs," says a
traveller. II doubt whether any other
people in the world talk SO much or
laugh so much. Their laughter is par
ticularly healthy. natural and unre-
strained, most exhilarating sound"

Fine. For Church shirker..

After being dormant for some years
the act q Jas. /. c. 4, 1906 which pro-
vided that any person absenting him
self from his church on u Sunday with
out sufficient excuse should be fined
twelvepence for each absence and i'm
prisoned in default of distress on his
goods until the fine was paid was re-
vived in 1888. A report of the inspect
ors Of prisons contains list of eleven
persons in Lancashire fined and i'm
prisoned under the act between Feb.
IL, 1889. and May 10, 1910. In one case
a laborer was in prison for ten weeks
(until released by order of the home
secretary after being convicted In a
penalty Of shilling. with IA shlllings
costs, for having been absent from
church single Sunday. This act was
repealed, 80 far as regards Roman
Catholics. in 1874, and wholly in 1s4e.

THE NAME BLACKBOARD.
II WINS Originally Applied to Link
Boys and Servants.

The earliest record of the term
blnckguard is in the churchwarden's
account Of st. Mary-at-Hill, London,
where, under date 1882, is, Item, re-
ceived for iiij Torches Of the Black
Guard iiijd" This and the following
old lines seem to show that the name
was then applied to linkboys:
Her Cupid is blac!isuard boy
That rubs his link full In your face.
The name was also given to mental
servants in the kings kitchen. In the
calendar of State Papers is the fol-
lowing entry: Aug. IL, 1885, Sir Will
liam l'itzwillinm to Mr.. Secretary
Cromwel-Refusal of the worklnen to
work for less than siXrcncc Il day. Two
OF the ringleaders had been for some
of the time blackguards OF tie kings

Escaped From sanitarium.

Miss Grace Wilmerding, well known
on the stage, who a year ago sued her
husband for separation and support and
who has been confined for the past year
in the private sanitarium of George w.
Hill. in New York, escaped from that
place and yesterday afternoon appeared
at the Office of Mark Alter. formerly her
counsel, and begged him 10 reopen her
case. She is the daughter of the late
Col. Vanderbilt Allen and a grand
daughter of Commodore Vanderbilt.
Alter sent her to Turner, ROlston q
Horan, who have charge of the remain
der of her fathers estate still due her.
She lad only 20 cents when she called
at Alters office. The woman was CON-
mitted to the sanitarium after her law
yers decided that her condition was such
as to Justify them in continuing the suit.
After she had been in the sanitarium a
month she escaped and went to Phila-
delphia, but soon returned to New York
city and obtained employment in de-
nartment stores. She returned volun-
tarily 20 the sanitarium. Yesterday
morning a nurse tried to awake the
woman. Investigation showed that what
was supposed to be her sleeping firm
was nothing buta bundle of bedclothing.
Miss Wilmerding fixed dummy, hid in
a closet and escaped through window.
