Has History With Which Few
Smokers Are Familiar.
Was First Seen in New World-Na-
tives Used Dried Leaves of the
Tobacco Plant Rolled in
Corn Shuck.

Washington.-Me smoke thought
lessly BY some the cigar is looked on
or pulled as an aid to digestion, as an
aid to reflection or as nothing but a
smoke producer A great deal Of
modern reflection that has achieved re-
suits has been with the aid or under
the influence of the cigar.
There is no disposition here to
minimize the influence on mankind of
the pipe or the quid, but the present
main consideration is the cigar. And
while men do so much OF their think
ing while cigar smoke watts and curls
and eddies from their lips and gives
pleasure to their nostrils, is it not
strange that so little of this thinking is
addressed to the cigar-that is, to its
history and to the romance and. all
that which Is embodied and enwrapped
in the little brown bundle OF leaves!
But so it is.
The cigar has a long history. To
bacco may have been used in cigar
form before it was burned in pipes,
shifted as snuff or taken as quid, but
on this point there is no proof. Two
of the sailors under Columbus on the
first voyage reported that they had
seen natives of the new found world
with firehrands in their mouths and
with smoke issuing from their lips.
1t was found that these natives were
smoking the dried leaves of a plant
hitherto unknown to the Europeans,
and that the leaves were rolled in a
corn shuck. On the second voyage OF
Columbus natives of the West Indies
were found who pulverized dry TO-
bacco leaves and snuffed the powder
up their noses.
The practice was discovered by a
Franciscan friar, Roman Pane, who &C
companied Columbus. In the voyage
of 1902, when Columbus reached the
mainland of South America, natives
were found who chewed the cured leaf
of the tobacco plant The use OF the
plant was subsequently found to be
universal among the American abb
origines from Cape Horn to Hudson
| bay. and the custom was immemorial.
But whether the cigar is senior to
! the pipe or quid is difficult ques-
| ton. Even if the first reported use of
| tobacco was in the form of firebrands
it does not follow that this was the
Oldest form in which the plant was
used. At the time of the coming of
| the Europeans tobacco was consumed
| in one form or another by the Indians
| from Canada to Pataganio, and espe-
| ciaiiy IN the form of smoking. 1t was
| a habit that had been practiced for
such ages tlIat the Indians had no ira
| dition as to its origin.
In an old account of how the indians
| smoked tobacco, as observed by Column
! bus men, is this:
Investigation revealed that the fire
| brands were made from the leaves OF
tobacco, rolled and buried in a sheath
| of Indian corn, and that the smoke was
| inhaled for sensations of pleasure and
exhilaration The instrument used for
] inhaling the smoke was made from hol
low cane, forked in the shape of the
letter "Y," the small end being insert
ed in the nostrils and the large end ap
| piled to the burning leaves"

They should not be killed for sport

valuable. Since they must have

it is suggested that suitable places

DESTROYING WEEDS IN WALKS
There Are Number of Excellent Chem
icaIs or Sprays Which Can Be
Used With Good Success.

(By JULIUS ERDMAN. Colorado Agri-
cultural College)
Ii is rather tedious process and
hard on tools to remove weeds or
grass from walks by hoeing or cut
ting them out between the stones, but
there are a number OF chemicals or
sprays which can be used with good
success.
1. Salt-Take l pound of salt to i
gallon of water; boil and apply while
sull hot; or dry salt may be used and
then watered in. but this win color
the walk more or less, and is lot Gaite

?. Crude carbolic acid, Il ounce of
the liquid to / gallon of water. will
also destroy ants
3. Suiphuric acid, 4-5 ounce of the
acid to gallon of water. Best APP
piled with a wooden pail.
4. Take l pound of powdered
arsenic to 3 gallons of cold water;
boil and stir we'll. Then gallons
OF cold water with pounds OF sal
soda.
5. Lime and sulphur, 10 gallons of
water. 20 pounds of quicklime and
pounds OF flowers of sulphur are
boiled in iron vessel. After settling.
the clear part is dipped off and used
when needed.
There are also a number of com
mercial weed killers in the market
which can be bought at seed stores.
Application of weed destroyers should
best be made on hot day or night
after a rain, with watering pot
(sprinkler), and one good application
is usually sufficient for the season. As
most of them contain poison, either
arsenics or acids, great care should
be exercised in handling them.
