Napoleon and Tobacco.

Napoleon. who tried to smoke once
and then with dire results, instituted
the French tobacco monopoly. which
the German government now proposes
to adopt so far as cigarettes are con
cerned. At a court function held early
in 1910 the emperor remarked lady
wearing jewels of such magnifcence
that be inquired how her husband
made his money. He is a tobacco
merchant" was the reply. which led
him TO seek further information as to
such a profitable business. Before the
year expired Napoleon issued decree
restricting the sale and manufacture
Of tobacco exclusively to the state. II
has remained a monopoly ever since
and for many years past has brought
in an annual revenue of over $80.000,-
600.

Eae;lv settled.

Coming over on an ocean liner from
England few years ago. said a New
Yorker. ian argument had arisen
among us as to which was the more
simple OF the two currency systems.
dollars and cents. or pounds, shillings
and pence. At last the captain arriv-
ing. we decided to refer the matter to
him and surrender our Judgment to his
arbitration.
The captain. an Englishman OF the
very stolid sort. after a period of re-
lection replied very slowly and with
all the gravity OF a Judge:
Pounds. shillings and pence is the
simpler system. for don't you know
that when you are told the price Of a
thing in dollars and cents yon always
have to convert it into pounds. shiI-
lings and pence
There was a little objection to this
theory. but in general it was perfectly
satisfactory SO long as the voyage
lasted.

Longfellow. the great poet. was not
ed for his fondness for children. and
this extended to all little folks. wheth-
er Of his family or not There was one
little boy Of whom he was very fond
and who came often to see him. One
day the child looked earnestly at the
long row Of books in the library and
at length asked. Have you Jack
the Giant Killer" Longfellow was
obliged to confess that his great library
did not contain that venerated volume.
The little fellow looked very sorry and
presently slipped down from the poets
knee and went away. But the next
morning Longfellow saw him coming
up the walk with something tightly
clasped in his little fists. The child
had brought cents with which Long
fellow was to buy Jack the Giant
Killer of his own.
