Is Tobacco q Drug l.?

An interesting case of splitting
hairs has arisen in Ireland In the
administration of the national insur-
ance. act as to whether tobacco is a
drug, a necessity or luxury, all three
views being taken bv different authori-
ties, says London Tit-Bits. 1t appears
that the experimenting medical OH
Ger of the Dublin district recommend
ed that a consumptive patient coming
under the provisions of the act be
given tobacco for smoking to comfort
him in his last days, Offering to pay
for the weed himself, but the insur-
ance committee decided that the to-
bacco was necessary to the patients
treatment and sent in the bill to the
insurance commissioners. Two weeks
later the local authorities received a
lengthy communication demandtnf an
explanation of their action in cha sung
- I. 3 -~- eminent with a shilling's wvrth
of Tobacco Their reply was that To-
bacco was recognized as a drug in the
British cooex under the title OF nico.
tiana tabaciIm and that it had been
prescribed by registered practitioner
Thereupon the commissioners consult
ed learned X. C.'s and they are still
wrestling with the subject. Mean
while the patient is dead, the tobacco
has been smoked and the expense Of
the disputation has already reached 8
hundred times the cost Of the original

Kent out 81 politics

In Austria women are forbidden by
law to take an active part in politics
or to join any political association.
Last spring the chamber of deputies
decided to cancel the prohibiting
clause, and the political committee Of
the upper house has now Endorsed this
vote OF the deputies, with the explana-
ton that "the part taken by women
in associations with political ten
denotes is well known, and, under the
circumstances, can scarcely be pre-
vented" This bill has been sent back
to the deputies for further considera-
ton. The women of Austria have been
leading an agitation against The rise

successful in cheapening coal in Vienna

The SONG of the Nightingale.

The Song of the Nightingale.
Along the dark turnpike John VAL
liant rode with his chin sunk on his
breast He was wretchedly glad of
the darkness. for 1t covered thou
sand familiar sights he had grown to
love. Yet through the dark came
drifting sounds that caught at him
with clutching hands-the bay Of a
hound from some far-off kennel. the
h.sn whinny Of horse across pasture
bars-and his nostrils widened to the
wild braided fragrance of the fields
over which the mist was spinning Its
fairy carded wool.
The preparations for his going had
been quickly made. He was leaving
behind him all but single portman-
teau. Uncle Jefferson had already
taken this-with Chum-to the sta
ton. The old man had now gone sor-
rowfully afoot to the blockhouse, a
half-mile up the track, to bespeak the
stopping of the express. He would go
back on the horse his master was
riding.
The lonely little depot fanked a
siding beside dismal stretch of vel
low clay-bank gouged by rains. Its
windows were dark and the weather
beaten plank platform was illuminated
by single lantern that hung on a
nail beside the locked door, its sickly
flame showing bruise-like through
smoky streakings of lampblack. At

coming along that runnelled highway
at such an hour in such breakneck
fashion?
Tue train was nearer now; he could
hear its low rumbling hum, rising
to roar, and the click and spring of
the rails. But though he lifted foot
from the stirrup, he did not dismount.
Something in the whirlwind speed of
coming caught and held him motion
less. He had sudden curious feeling
that all the world beside did not ex-

rush of the nearing ain-impersonal,
unhuman-he, sitting his horse in the
gloom, and that unknown rider whose
anguish of speed outstripped the
steam, riding-to whom?
