Revenue from Tobacco.

New York Press.
 Suppose the tobacco worm destroys the Japanese crop How will the Land of the Rising Sun pay the inter- cts on it's loan of $130.OOOO0O? The worlds annual crop of tobacco is about 2.7OO, 100000 pounds. Japan produces 40, ,0O0,0 pounds. Its direct revenues from the tobacco monopoly Gan im- perlal government trust that can give our Standard Oil Company cards, spades and a beating) for the fiscal year l9O5-6 are estimated at nearly $16,50O,O ,OO0. The interest on the loan Is $5,S5O,000 a year.
 Tobacco is used by a greater number of people and among more nations than any other product of the earth, with the possible exception of tea. It Is the most heavily taxed product of the world. The revenue derived from 1t by the American Government is over S44.50O, 1000 a year; 1t has been as much as S62,25O, 900 (1901) Great Britian's tax on tobacco brings an annual reve- nue of some $55.00o.000. The Reggie countries (those which make a mon opoly of the purchase, sale and manu- facture of tobacco) are France, Japan. Portugal, Italy, Spain, Australia, Tur~ key, Roumania and Costa Rica. France derives from her monopoly about $90,- COG. 900 a year.

THE ALLEGED LAW OF NATIONS.
An Extraordinary PrOnouncement by q
 University Teacher.

New York Sun
 An associate professor of law in the Northwestern University. Mir Charles '. Hyde, catalogues in the Green Bag Tor April the cases in which the execu- tive department of the United States Government has concluded internation- al agreements or contracts other than treaties; that Is to say, without the ad- vice and consent of the Senate. The instances are not very numerous. On the whole, they are not very important They constitute whatever precedent exists for the protocol of January 31, 1903. between the United States and the Dominican Republic. the artificial foundation stone of our present rela- tions with that foreign country.
 Of such purely executive agreements or pseudo treaties MT. 4Iyde remarks:
 Tt must be assumed that in each case where an agreement other than a treaty has been negotiated with a friendly State there has been a sin cere belief on the part of the Executive that the Constitution has not been vio- lated, and that a valid international contract has been negotiated. If the President in many instances sucn as have been cited may lawfully contract with foreign nations, without the ad- vice and consent of the Senate, no con stitutional declaration is needed in or der to attach a legal consequence to a compact so concluded. and render 1t binding upon the United States.
 "As result of it's membership in the family of civilized States, this country of necessity recognizes as a part of It's local law the law of nations Accord ing to that law. agreements of the United States. not in violation of the Constitution or of the accepted public policy of the civilized world, whether treaties or agreements other than treaties. in whatever form expressed are a part of the supreme law of the land"
 What remarkable contents for a Green Bag, or any other bag! What eX- traordinary reasoning for professor of law in the Northwestern University, or any other university! It has been believed that the supreme law of the land, under the Constitution, can be enacted only in the form of statute. or, what amounts to the same thing, a joint resolution of Congress approved by the President, or, again, treaty ratified by the Senate in the manner clearly prescribed by the Constitution. Yet here is an associate professor ln- forming the public. and, we fear in- structing the innocent pupils who pay their tuition fees for the privilege or

Sex md the SeDses.

NM. Vaschide and Toulouse have al- ready shown by experiments that wo- men have a finer sense of smell than men. This is true not only for the sen- sation itself, but for the recognition of odors. M Vaschide has now extended his researches to the sense of taste in men and women. The tests were strictly defined. drop of liquid being placed on the tongue in each case, then pressed against the palate. The gem eral result was that q man has finer taste for salt than a woman; so has he for anything bitter. For sweet and acid men and women have an almost equal sensibility both in sensation and perception.

A large majority of human ailments are due to a bad condition of the blood.

After declaring that The Times sug-

in spite Of the fact that Barre would be
the natural terminus, is too small for
serious consideration the Montpelier
Argus reiterates the threadbare and PHI
able statements that the interests Of the

that Barre is growing, that some Montpe

for the other with several other plati-
