~ YER 400 years ago. when Co
lumbus and his sailors landed
on the soil of America, they
discovered more than land.
They saw a strange custom. which the
natives had practiced from time, inn
memorial-smoking tobacco leaves in
curious looking pipes, a habit both a
pleasure and a religious rite.
In 1858 King Phillip III of Spain, who
had appointed the savant and philoso-
pher, DIR. Francisco Fernandes. to study
the natural resources of the Americas,
especially Mexico. was in part respon-
sibie for the introduction of the tobac-
co plant into Europe, although there is
no doubt that the French ambassador
TO Portugal. who in the following year
sent tobacco to Queen Catherine de
Medici. as IA cure for headache. was
also greatly responsible for establish
ing the habit of smoking among Euro
peans. Sir Walter Raleigh and Sir
Francis Drake were the first to intro
generation later, and despite anti-tobac-
co laws and stringent punishments, the
use OF the weed continued TO Increase
Capital punishment and excommuni-
cation were resorted to I'm almost all
European countries and some colonies
without checking the habit.
Nicotine Not Only Evil.
Tobacco production In the United
states is said TO surpass the iron,
steel. automobile, bakery. butter,
cheese, milk, gas. oil, and other great
industries. This year American com
merce in tobacco viii reach $780,
100000, about three times the great
cotton industry.
While the statement OF Prof Hare
that "one thirty-seconi OF a drop Of
nicotine placed on the tongue will
kill cat or dog" may give an ex-
aggerated idea of the poisons in to-
bacco. there is no doubt that as much
as one-fifth of the nicotine in tobacco
is only q small proportion of the
other poisons present, which are found
in cigarette paper and in wooden
pipes

The feathers from peaN oolx's tail.
NEW YORK, fan. 14.-If lovely
woman will wear borrowed plumage,
quite the most artistic and fashion
able place to borrow it at the present
moment is from the tail of a peacock.
That is, OF course, IL she counts thir-
teen as her lucky number, doesn't
mind opening an umbrella indoors,
and laughs shattered mirrors to
scorn. 1T isn't strange that the pea
cock should come into it's own again
as a modish fowl considering it has
ever been a symbol OF vanity and the
household net of Juno in her early
days of light housekeeping on Mt.
Olympus. Now the gorgeous feathers
are used not only as fans, in head
dresses for evening, and as a Garni-
ture for hats, but the lovely blue and
green eyes Of the feathers are utilized
IN any number of ingenious ways as
gown and wrap trimmings.
At a smart literary tea the other after
noon appeared veritab,e Peacock Lady
whose penchant for the plumes was
carried to novel lengths. The buttons
of her heavy, loose wrap were mace
OF the eyes of the peacock feathers
under discs of glass backed and bound
in gilt She also wore a charm on a
long chain of blue and green enamel
made of the double glass discs trimmed
in gold and revealing a peacock eye on
each side. Her hat was a close fitting
turban formed of the iridescent blush
green breast feathers of the bird. while
a wonderful scarf of the breast feathers
swathed her chin and throat in lieu
of fur,
Replicas of these fascinating feathers
now form the motif of embroidered de-
signs on many rich evening gowns and
wraps and the craze for peacock jewelry
steadily gains. Rings and brooches
showing the fowl in its entirety, have its
tail encrusted with semi-precious spark
ling stones of green and blue. Either
with its tail dropping or reared and
proudly unfurled like a fan in all it's
glory, the clever metal and gem crafts
men depict the peacock on combs for
the hair. shoe buckles. pendants. The
tiny gold or silver Cem-encrusted birds
even swing in beauty's ears. They are
>spangled or beaded on hand bags and
hosiery in effective exterior decoration
of the frail and fair; also the buxom
and brunette.
So here you have the tale or the pea
cocks fashionable tail and all it en-
tails.
