MAKE A HOBBY OF TOBACCO
London Dealer Has Customers Who
Spend $4,000 Year-One Titled
Lady Spends $50 a Week.

Millionaires are fine customers for
the tobacconists whom they patron
ize. | have a customer, a well-known
millionaire, who spends 10000 year
with me. / import a special brand of
cigars for him which costs him about
$3.50 apiece, and he takes eight boxes
of these in the year, containing 25O
each.
believe he gives most Of them
away to his friends, for he Is not a
heavy cigar smoker by any means. He
chiefly smokes pipe, and some of
the pipes he has purchased are worth
good deal of money.
l had pipe made for him last year
which cost him $4,000. 1t was a long
hookah, with pure amber bowl en-
cased in gold, beautifully ornamented
with embossed figures.
l have another enormously rich GUS
toner who collects tobacco jars; he
has often paid me $4,000 for an old to-
bacco jar. But this customer is not a
very heavy smoker, and his tobacco
bill in the year is not more than that
of any ordinary individual.
/ have the custom of a well-known
banker who uses a new cigar holder
every day. Each costs him $40; they
are made of pure amber and are gold
mounted.
The late King Edward was very
god customer to the tobacco mer-
chants who were honored with his GUS
tom, but / id not think he ever paid
more than five dollars for special
cigar, and, of course, he frequently
smoked cigars that cost far less.
OF late years several wealthy ladies'
have become rather good customers of
the tobacco merchant. have the GUS
tom Of titled lady, who is one Of
the best known hostesses in society,
who buys a couple of hundred cigar
cites from me every week, which cost
her $50. They are especially made for
her from very expensive brand of
Turkish tobacco, and with each box
of cigarettes she has 100 little gold
paper holders.
The lady is not by any means a
heavy cigarette smoker, and buys the
cigarettes for her guests, but / know
of several ladies in society who smoke
40 or so cigarettes a day. l have the
custom of very wealthy elderly lady
who took to cigarette smoking year
or so ago, and she now consumes 300
cigarettes week.-Tit-Bits, London.

Home of Juliet Is Guarded.

You read the following words on a
tablet by the side Of tall and slen,
der gray house in a quiet street in
Verona:
This was the home of Capulets,
from whom descended Juliet, for
whom so many kind hearts have wept
and of whom poets have sung"
A few steps farther on the busy
life of the old city is centered in the
market place, and in the one or two
streets that lead from it. You stand
in front Of the lightly-built dwelling
and you look at the slim balcony Of
wood from which bent forward the
form of the radiant girl whose undy-
ing love story has echoed down the
ages.
In order that future generations may
keep looking at this balcony, the coun-
Gil of Verona has decided that rail-
ing shall be placed around the house
and a watchman stationed there day
and night to keep an eye on too ad-
miring tourists.
1t is almost case Of locking the
stable door after the steed has been
stolen, because most of the original
woodwork was carried off last sum
mer by parties of Shakespeare-loving
Americans, who wanted keepsakes
from Juliet's bower.

,mbeclles Are keenest Observers.

A Belgian physician, DR.. Demoor.
has been making observations on the
capacity of different people for judg-
ing which of two weights Is the
heavier, and has satisfied himself that
while ordinary people, especially chill
dren, fail to appreciate small differ
ence, the reverse is the case with the
imbecile, idiotic and half witted.
According to the Lancet, he prepar.
ed two bottles, differing in size, partly
filled with heavy mineral. but COW
cred all over with black paper and
exactly equal In weight. These he
handed to $50 children between the
ages of six and fifteen years.
OF these $40 judged one bottle to
be the heavier. The other ten said
the two we're of the same weight.
These ten children were all abnormal

Periuue.


The most unique tobacco raised in
this country is perique, product per.
fected by an involved mothod of
sweating and curing which was devel-
oped by the Arcadians in st. James
parish, Louisiana.
When picked, the tobacco is
stemmed and rolled into loose twists
which are placed under pressure until
the juices are forced out and the
leaves become black and sticky. These
juices in the working" are reabsorb-
ed, and during this process rum is
blown into the mass.
It Is finally stored to cure, and at
the end Is Of peculiar strength, with
characteristic aromatic odor. 1t is
used in cigarettes, pipe mixtures, and
for chewing, and some manufacturers
insert a few strands in cigars to give
them fragrance.
The perique district is confined to
a small section Of St. James parish,
on the east side Of the Mississippi riv-
er. The total production of perique
is only about 100000 pounds a year.
and there are about 80 perique manu-
facturers registered in the books Of
the Internal Revenue department.

Newton's Apple Tree.

1t is impossible to say at this late
day how true or how false is the old
story about Newton's apple tree at
Woolsthorpe, from which he is sup
posed to have seen the fall of the
apple which gave him his first thought
of the attraction of gravity. Voltaire
Is the authority for the well-known
story. He claims that the story was
told to him by Catherine Barton, New
tons niece. How much truth there
may be in the tale will never be
known, but 1t seems to be certain that
tradition marked tree as that from
which the famous apple fell till 1920,
when, owing to decay. the tree was
cut down.

FEAR The MANCHINEEL
POISONOUS TREE is DREADED
BY AFRICAN NATIVES.
Its Sap Deadly to Humanity, and Peo-
pie of the Country Take Precau-
lions When They Seek Shell
ter Beneath II.

Everywhere the manchineel bears
the reputation of being a most dan
gerous tree, in the shade whereof it
is never safe to rest. This evil repu-
tation has it's origin in the poisonous
qualities of the sap and fruit of
tree of this kind found in Africa-the
arborescent euphorbia. This tree has
a magnificent but most peculiar ap
pearance, and the thickness of its TO-
liage, which wholly excludes the sun,
seems to invite the traveller to rest
beneath its branches. The negroes
have a way of taking advantage Of
the delightfully."- cool shade, and at the
same time avoiding the danger from
the poisonous droppings of the tree
They erect a matched roof below the
lowest branches, and then repose in
peace and security.
Tremaux, the French explorer, has
perhaps given the best account Of
these aborescent euphorbias. While
taking view of Cacane, he asked
one OF his negroes who stood near
him to seat himself under a great
euphorbia that stood in the fore
ground. At first the native hesitated; |;
then after while he decided to yield,
but not without raising his eyes many
times in apprehension toward the
branches of the tree.
The Frenchman was about to climb
upon a rock to break off a branch,
but the negro seeing him approach
ned In terror from the shade of the
deadly tree, gesticulating wildly and
giving utterance to terms the foreign
er could not understand. The mans
gestures, however, and a few Arabic
words uttered by one of the bystand-
ers, DO you mean to die?" made the
explorer understand that in touching
the tree he was running a serious
risk
But the thing was done. and the
broken branch in the Frenchman's s
hand. Immediately milky fluid
flowed forth, in much greater quantity
than he could have imagined from
what he knew Of these plants in other
countries, covering his clothes and
penetrating even to his skin.
The features and gestures of the
negroes expressed their fear. They
made the traveller understand that il
the white juice touched one of the
numerous wounds which he at that
time had on his body he would die
and that it was dangerous even to
let IL touch the skin
1t is with this juice that certain OF
the African tribes poison their weap
ons in order to make the wounds in
hicted thereby mortal. They first
thicken it until it acquires the con
sistency Of paste. Then they dip in il
the points or blades of the weapons

Are Not of Consequence.

pretty soon we'll have the scientists

Globe.

Mention might also be made of the

of the information impaired to you
periodically by your wife that her
friends husband has made his mark
in the world and didn't have half

bring on case every time.
And yet there is a cure for most
OF these cases, and sometimes they
are gone before we really knew what

ton.
But the crouch In itself is not dan
gerous, at least not to the patient,
unless 1t becomes chronic. Then be-
ware! The chronic crouch is in a
class by himself, and thank goodness
the class is small. 1t is sort of slow
suicide and there doesn't seem to be
any cure. A man so afflicted seems
to look out on life through pair of
eyes that have cracked lenses, so that
everything appears distorted and in
the wrong place. The frost comes too

all its might and strength, till the
