1T is a great pity for the president,
said Champ Clark of Missouri, in his
recent great speech in the house.
that he was influenced in his opinions
on the tariff question by Senator Aid
rich and Representative Payne, the re-
publican floor leader. 1t would have
been. great thing for Mr. Taft If he
had vetoed the Payne-Aldrich tariff
bill. 1t would have added much to
his usefulness now and more to his
fame in the days to come. That mas
terful man, Charles Stewart ParneIl.

Russian Peasant Weddings.

A peasant wedding In Russia means
a festival for the whole village and
often for the young people from neigh
boring villages as well. Weeks before
the eventful day the young girls as
semble at the home of the bride TO help
her sew. The bridegroom comes with
his men friends to treat them to nuts
and sweets. Appropriate songs are
sung. and the bridegroom's generosity
is put to the test. One of the girls
holds out to him plate. and If he puts
down a silver coin they sing him a
song full of compliments. but IL he
gives copper and is known to be able
to afford more mockery follows. The
whole village is invited to the mar
rage ceremony. which is performed
with all the ancient superstitious rites
and solemnities.

Tn. F,tb.r Of Tobacco Smoking.

1t is quite hopeless to trace out the
fathers Of smoking in general and to-
bacco smoking in particular. Who first
drew in smoke of any kind through a
pipe in England and who first OF our
countrymen took to tobacco Will al
ways remain disputable. 1t is equally
uncertain which western tribe made
the sublime discovery. There is even
dispute as to whether tobacco takes its
name from the island of Tobago. from
the Yucatan province of Tobacco. from
Tabasco In Florida or from y-shaped
pipe which the people Of Hispaniola
smoked with their noses. Only one
name is definitely associated with the
great institution. that Of Jean Moot,
the French ambassador to Portugal,
who spread the fame Of the herb
through Europe. And of all who are
familiar with nicotine today how
many associate 1t with Nicot or have
even heard of him!-London Chronicle
