Tobacco In America.

Caricaturists in depicting a German
are in the habit Of putting big pipe
in his mouth. The pipe is national in
deed, but the Germans as a nation are
far from being the greatest smokers.
They do not smoke more than French
men, Russians, Swedes or Hungarians.
The men Of the United States and the
men of Switzerland are the most in
veterate smokers in the world In
these two countries the consumption
of tobacco per head is three times
greater than in Germany.

Fair Rosamund's Bower.

Henry Ills chief garden was at
Woodstock, but he was not the origi-
nator Of it, as there had been a garden
there in the time Of the second Henry.
In it was the labyrinth which conceal
ed the bower made famous by the
tragic fate Of the fair Rosamond. A
halo Of romance and mystery hangs
around this hiding place, but in reality
labyrinths We're 5y no means uncom-
mon. There is evidence of the exist
ence of labyrinths in very early times,
and they presumably suggested the
maze of more modern date. The first
labyrinths were winding paths cut in
the ground, and the survival of them is
still traceable in several places in Eng
land. Of these Saffron Walden, with
its encircling ditch, is the most strik
ing example. Camden describes one
existing in his time in Dorsetshire
which went by the name of Troy tow

"THE SONG OF THE SHIRT"
1t Proved the, Most Popular Thing
Hood Ever Wrote.

IIO0d Ever Wrote.
During his last illness Tom Hood in
an idle moment made an imaginative
sketch of his own tombstone. He drew
himself reclining at full length Oh
thick slab of stone, on the edge of
which in large capbals he wrote, He
Sang the Song of the Shirt D." This
was the only inscription, and, as he
himself has said, Tom Hood needs no
other
How much he felt and priled him
self upon the song by which he became
known and loved by millions is shown
by this and the following fact: IF
were ennobled these are the arms l
should adopt" said he one day, show
ing a rough vignette to a friend. The
sketch contained a very beautiful and
pathetic idea. 1t represented a heart
pierced by a needle threaded with sill
yer tears, and beneath was the motto
he had inscribed on the imaginary
tombstone
''The Song of the Shirt appeared in
the Christmas number of the fifth vol
ume of Punch. 1t was unsigned, but
every paper in the land quoted it, and
it speedily became the talk of the day.
Hood himself did not think it very re-
markable, but Mrs. Hood had said to
him as she folded it for press: "Now,
mind, Hood mark my words, this will
tell wonderfully. It is one of the best
things YOU ever did"
Mrs. Hood was right. The song was
translated into French, German and
Italian. 1t was printed on cheap cot
ton handherchiefs and parodied times
without number.

Ortonville stone being South Dako-

WEATHER FOR JUNE.

Irl r. Hicks announces the follow
ing probable weather conditions for
the remainder of June:
A reactionary storm period is CEN
trail on the 9th, 10th, and l1th. The
new moon is on the 10th. in the midst
of the magnetic crisis that falls an
nually on and about June IL. This
period will bring excessive warmth,
very low barometer, abnormal, humid
ity and violent thunder and wind
storms. Earthquakes will be report
ed in many quarters of the globe,
within danger, which no one should
ignore, especially those who live in
the tornado and food regions. Storms
at this and other June periods will
frequently reverse their usual course
and move in unlocked for direction.
Let no one, under any circumstances
take shelter under green trees during
these vicious thunder storms in June.
Look for an excess of lightning, some

of which will be dangerous, but most
of which will be harmless and sub
lime. June thunder clouds will break
in hail storms and cloudbursts IN
many localities during this period.
Rising barometer, west wind and
change to much cooler will spread
eastwardly over the country from
about the 18th to the 14th.
Third regular storm period will
prove one of the most decided times
of turmoil in June. 1t is central on
the 18th and will come to its culmin-
ating stages Sunday the 10th to
Tuesday the 18th. A low reading of
your barometer at this time will be an
admonition of lightning Of an oncom-
ing thunder storm which is different
proposition from the harmless sheet
which blazes all round the
heavens in the June nights.

HASN'T this immunity bath" about
gone to seed? At one end of the
country the president and his cabinet
have decided that Hartman, the rail
road pirate, is immune from the pen
alties that should attach to convic-
tion because he testified, or confessed,
before the interstate commerce com
mission. At the the other end Or
chard is expeating immunity or light
er sentence because he has turned
states evidence and confesses to some
eighteen murders and nearly as many
more unsuccessful attempts. The only
good to the public from his confes.
sions being the hope that thereby
other guilty parties may be brought
to justice. The principle of immun-
ity to criminals who give testimony
might once have served good pur-
pose, but to-day it seems that those
who benefit by that practice are those
most entitled to punishment.
