TOBACCO IN LATIN EUROPE.
Effect of the Government Monopoly
in France,

From Paris Letter to the Brooklyn Eagle.
Tobacco is the most precious weed of
the Latin countries. for it is monopoly.
The states live off of the vices OF the
people Alcohol, as well as tobacco, pro-
vides the revenue to keep the countries
in order, and in beauty. too so as to
attract the foreigner who comes to spend
his money more or less legitimately. Dur
ing the last congress of tobacco mer-
chants they asked NJ. Caillaux. the min
lister of finances, to request the two
houses of parliament to diminish the price
of certain tobaccos, for less tobacco was
used last year than the preceding ones.
According to statistics, however. 1t has
been proved that if less money has been
made on tobacco it is not because less
was Sold but because cheaper grade OF
tobacco was smoked. In 1869 the total
quantity of tobacco sold was 4o,4ll,95f
kilograms-a klogram is little more
than two pounds-and in 1919 i1,ooi,S94
kilos The smokers protested, not Dy
smoking less, but by smoking cheaper
tobacco.
The state knows that the French in gen.
eral have taken to smoking the cheap
"caporal' instead of the expensive scar
ferlati" On the boulevards we see stores
with snow WINDOWS luli VI Tic Siio1SoSI
cigars native and foreign. and the
Frenchman takes his satisfaction In look
ing at them while he smokes his rolled
cigarette of caporal, the cheapest kind
of tobacco If it were not for foreigners,
who smoke the expensive cigars, the gov
eminent would lose millions of francs, for
it has a tariff on the foreign cigar almost
equal to the profit it makes on its own.
Here are the statistics of foreign and do
nestic cigars "de luxe, sold in 1910:
Foreign, cigars, 11,0SS kilos; domestic,
ca, SOS; cigarettes made abroad. T.7T
kilos Now in 1899 there were more than
IS D}0 filos of cigarettes made abroad
and sold in France than in 1910. The
consequence was not less smoking, but
that far greater number of French
cigarettes were smoked that were made
of the cheapest tobacco
Almost as many cigarettes are smoked
in France as in Spain. In SPAN cigarettes
are preferred to cigars; in France they
are smoked because they are cheaper
than cigars. The French are fonder of
cigars but they hate to have so much of
their good money go up in smoke. You
can see that by the alacrlty with which
a F'renchman will smoke a good cigar
after dinner when he has gone to his
friends smoking room to smoke and talk.
1t is seldom that a Frenchman reserves
his best cigars for himself and his most
intimate friends. After dinner he gives
them out to complete the dinner the menu
of which has been the best he can give.
He may not give dinner as often as
rich foreigners. but he gives the best he
has when he does.

KEEPING TRACK OF FREIGHT.
The Elaborate Transfer System in
Use by the Railroads.

From the Railroad Mans Magazine.
Five great gateways of traffic are situ-
ated in different parts of the United
States Through these, generally speak
ing, freight moving east or west that
passes from one line of railroad to an
other must go.
They are Chicago. East st. Louis. Hi
nois; East Hannibal, Missouri; Council
Bluffs Missouri and Minnesota Transfer,
Minnesota. They are known as freight
transfer stations and have been estab-
lished to facilitate the interchange of
traffic between different lines.
In a sense these freight transfer sta
tons resemble somewhat the great clear
ing houses of the associated banks in Dig
cities like New York and Chicago, but
instead of bills and coin, they handle
daily thousands of loaded freight cars.
Instead of bank checks such as the
financial clearing houses sort out every
morning when they balance their ac-
counts the freight transfer stations have
hundreds of thousands of bigger and
more unwieldy pieces of paper which are
called way bills, which represent the ire
mendous volume of merchandise in the
loaded cars.
Also there are the bills of lading, which
answer the same purpose. but in differ
ent way. If the value of the costly freight
passing through one of these great gate
ways each day could be computed 1t
would not fall far behind the days BUSH
ness of the New York clearing house it
self.
In addition to these five transfer sta
tiOnS that handle only business that
passes over two or more different lines
of rails before reaching its destination.
each of the great railroad systems has
many similar transfer stations for the
interchange of freight traffic between the
big system like the New York Central
lines, for example is made up of twelve
different railroads, each a distinct cor
pOration.
For the purposes of accounting each of
these lines is treated in the books as
though it were foreign company, though
the rules for the interchange of freight
traffic between the various roads of
system are somewhat modified from those
which govern the same work between
two separate systems interchang1ng bust
ness at any of the four great gateways
in the west. Yet the organization of do
those the New York Central lines,
does not differ materially from that of
the railroads which meet at Chicago.
East ST. Louis, East Hannibal or Coun-
Gil Bluffs.
Each system has from ten to fifty OF
these freight transfer stations located at
the various junction points of it's allied
lines. The New York Central, for eX-
ample, has thi.ty-one. There is no better
place for a young man to get thorough
practical knowledge Of everything con-
nected with the actual handling of freight
traffic than a freight transfer station.

The Stereopticon in the Schools.

From the Philadelphia Bulletin.
Announcement by the board Of educa-
ton of the extension of the use of the
stereopticon to teach geography in the
public schools is presumably based upon
the success already met with in teaching
by pictorial methods. The stereopticon
in point of fact, is a successor to the
pictures printed in the old-fashioned ge-
ographies, which were, however, for the
most part merely examples of what a
mountain should look like, or how lake
is formed, or some chance view of a
city And while these views gave to the
child mind an idea of such things, they
did not convey exact or definite de-
scription.
AS for the scope OF the stereopticon
it is as great as the surface of the
earth itself Current events. as well as
fixed objects, may be depicted with a
realism that stamps itself indelibly on
the memory. 1t is a safe venture that
more accurate and solid knowledge and
informa ton can be instilled in a high
school class in two hours with a set
CT views of the work done in digging
the Panama canal than could be done in
u weeks presentation Of printed de-
Scription.

Blackstone and Goldsmith.

From the Westminster Gazette
In deciding to place tablet on the
house in Lincoln's Inn Fields where Sir
William Blackstone lived. the London
county council have probably been guild
ed by the fact that the most famous resi-
dence of the Judge and commentator al
ready carries a distinguishing sign. This
is in the Temple, but the tablet is to
Goldsmith's memory. Here Oliver gave
dinners 10 his staider friends and supper
parties to young folk of both sexes. 1t
was the supper parties which disturbed
blackstone whose chambers were i'm
mediateIy beloy v, and on many an even
ing his studies on the commentaries
were broken by the racket made by his

MRS. H0mAN INJURED IN
RUNAWAY ON SUNDAY
HORSE WAS ALLOWED TO EAT
GRASS AND TOOK POTION
TO RUN HOME.
Little Girl Was in Rig but Was Res.
cued by a Passer-No Damage Done
to Rig.

Sunday morning while Mrs. John
Homan and her little daughter we're
out enjoying carriage ride they de-
cided to allow the horse to eat some
grass and took off the bride so that
this would be possible. The animal
is very gentle and Mrs. Romans
daughter remained in the rig. The
horse, however, took a sudden no
ton that it wanted to start home. The
occupant was powerless to control it
as the lines were useless with the
bride off. Mrs. Homan, in trying to
stop the horse. suffered a badly
bruised shoulder as we'll as some
minor injuries, and was unable to stop
the animal. She also suffered severe
shock from fright. Tie little girl
remained in the rig. The horse came
up town on a run, and a passerby
failed to stop it, although he sue
eeeded in gettinki the girl out Of the
rig. The animal was finally stopped
by Shed Lambert.
Mrs. Homan was removed to St.
Alexlus hospital, where she rested
over night. and returned to her
home Monday. There was no damage
done to the rig.

Messrs. Bacon, Lander. Hunter and

is held one ye1r at Grand Forks and
the other year At Fargo. They id.
nit the value Of the exhibit as an
advertising feature, but think it
should be held in either Grand Forks
or Fargo. or failing that should be
sent out of the state entirely. The
committee vas in consultation with
the commissioner all morning and
the greater part of the afternoon. The
delegation seems to h4ve but one
idea and that TO keep the exhibit
from going to the western part OF
the state.
