A comprehensiNe. Word.

The word "vermin'' seems to have
become exceedingly comprehensive in
scope now that the society which Is
devoted TO the destruction OF such
creatures has included not only rats,
mice, cockroaches and such small deer
among them. but even cats, dogs. spar
rows and canaries, on the ground that
all these transmit disease to man. BY
derivation Latin 'vermls') vermin
ought to mean only worms and the
like. in which literal sense Tennyson
writes of the 'vermn in nut" But
the term has constantly been loosely
applied to all sorts of objectionable
animals. from crocOdiles To foxes.

Tobacco and Tin Foil.

General Winfield Scott was RESPONSE
BILE for tin foil being wrapped around
tobacco. That fact came out in the
legal contest over the will of the &c
centric millionaire tobacco dealer, John
Anderson. Early in the forties of the
last century Mr.. Anderson kept a pop
ular cigar store on Broadway. Felix
McClOsky, for many years the tobac-
consists salaried companion and agent,
testified that one day. in 1Sf3 he
thought, General Scott came into the
store aud asked Anderson If he
couldn't devise some way Of keeping
tobacco so It would not be affected by
age and changes In climates. Ander-
son thought about it and shortly after
hit upon the plan of wrapping cigars
and chewing tobacco in tin foil, there
by keeping the tobacco moist for a
long time. His tin foil covers became
popular. and his preserved tobacco was
much In demand during the Mexican
war and the California gold rush.

Mr.. Steeles continued success is
