TOBACCO.

Scotch snuff Is said to obtain Its peculiar color from the addition of ocher. Tho quality of Cuban tobacco is so fine that Mulhall says it sells at prices varying from £200 to £800 a ton.

Since the Franco-Prussian war the use of tobacco has increased in France to an extent never before known.

Tobacco seeds are so minute that it is said a thimbleful will furnish enough plants for an acre of ground.

The tobacco cultivated by the Indians west of the Mississippi was a low, spreading plant, with white flowers.

Tobacco has the power of relaxing tho muscular system to a marked degree, and advantage has been taken of this property, both in medicine and surgery.

Tbe adulteration of tobacco by the use of other leaves can always be detected by the microscope, as in structure the tobacco leaf varies materially from all others.

The smoke of burning tobacco contains nicotia, nicotianinc. salts of ammonia, hydrocyanic acid, sulphureted hydrogen, three or four volatile acids, phenol, creosote and several other substances.

The most elaborate pipes are thosc'of the Turks ami Persians. Tho bowls are large and heavy, not intended to be carried about, and tho stems arc several feet long and flexible, fciome of these pipes cost $1,000 each.

In somebody sent Catherine do' Medici a box ot powdered tobacco leaves. She acquired a taste for the herb, both chewing and snuiling or rather smelling it, and for many years t-he plant was called in France hcrbe de la reine.

The oil of tobacco, found.jn the steins of long used pipes or obtain^l by distillation at a red heat, is one of the most active and powerful poisons known to the chemist. A single drop will often cause death in the case of a dog or cat.—rit. Louis Globe-Democrat.

DONOVAN OF BAY.

Mr. Donovan, the only Democrat in tho Michigan legislature, is evidently a bigger man than old Dickinson.—Cincinnati Tribune.

The Democrats of Michigan are inclined to take very good care of Donovan of Bay, their sole representative in the legislature. They think of using him for seed.—Toledo Blade.

The Democratic minority in the Michigan legislature will no doubt rise and protest as one man auainst the encroachments of the inflated Republican majority.— Cleveland Enquirer.

When the Michigan legislature meets, that lone Democrat, Mr. Donovan, will havo jolly time. If the Republicans do not behave, tho Democratic minority can '•rise as one man" and protest.—Ohio State Journal.

John Donovan is the solitary and singlo Democrat, in the Michigan legislature. He will disclose a kind of patty harmony which it would lie well for tho party's representatives in congress to study and imitate.—Sioux City Tribune.

It is believed that thero is one place in this land where there are no factions in the Democratic party. It is thought that Mr. Donovan, the Democratic minority in the Michigan house of representatives, is entirely harmonious.—Courier-Journal.

Mr. Donovan, the single Democratic member of the lower branch of the Michigan legislature, has become a national character. Home men are born Rreat., others achieve greatness, and still others are washed ashore after a tidal wave.— Rochester Herald.

The Democratic party in tho Michigan legislature! will be a unit. There is just one of it or him or them, as you please—• a simple integer, lie announces his intention to hold a caucus and do all tho other solemnly impressive acts becoming to a "tearless minority."—Chattanooga Times.

THE STAGE.

Beerbohm Tree's American tour Nvill begin next month. Sarah Bernhardt will not pay us another visit until late in the season of lfSOf)-!').

A new American comedy by Bronson Howard will soon bo produced in New York city. "To Nemesis," by Mrs. Romnaldo Pachcco, produced by Rose Coghlan's company, is a failure.

Henry K. Abbey, manager of Lillian Russell, has ordered an opera for her from Smith and De Koven.

The divine Adelina Patt.i appears to bo feeling her way for another farewell tour in this countrv next season.

It is rumored that Louise Beaudet will star in a musical comedy as soon as 'M-i-cintu" shall have worn out its popularity. "Humanity,'" a scenic and sensational melodrama by Sutton Vane, anther of "The Span of Life," will soon be produced in Boston. ''Rob Roy" is tho greatest light operatic success since the production of "Robin Hood," by the same authors, Smith and Do Koven.

Henry Arthur Jones' play, "The Masqueraders," is a great popular though not an artistic success at the Empire theater, New York.

A certain manager of melodramas estimates that his net profits this season on one play will exceed $100,000. Three companies are presenting it.

James O'Neill has just engaged as his leading lady Miss Florence Rockwell, who is but Hi years old. Last season she occupied a similar position with Thomas W. Keanc.

PENCIL SHARPENERS.

Hamlin Garland, tho novelist, has declared himself a philosophical anarchist. Dickens' full name was Charles John Huffham Dickens, but he did not sign it that way often. V^en he did, he dropped the second in Hufi'ham.

Pierre Loti, who is well laiown to have a dislike to any ki.id of society, is extremely attached to a yellow tabby cat, which travels about with him whenever and wherever he goes.

Mrs. I^,irton Harrison writes all her own manuscripts,'and she works very rapidly. "The Anglomaniacs" and "A Bachelor Maid" were both witten at white heat. With all her other duties, they Were only on the stocks three weeks each.

General Lew Wallace says that he,'wrote "The Fair God" before he had ever been Jn Mexico, and "Bcn-Hur" before he had ever seen the Holy Land, and he thinks the "lucal color" in each of these novels as accurate as it would liavo been if he had made a tour in search of it.

Outwardly Cordial.

NKW YORK, Dec. 18.—Archbishop Corrigan Monday made his regular visit to St. Leo's church, of which Rev. Father Duooy is the pastor. The strained relations between archbishop and priest over the hitter's refusal to obey his superior's command not to attend the sessions of the Lexow committee makes the formal visit more interesting than it usually is. The archbishop was met by Father Ducev and their greetings were at least outwardly friendly. Then Father Duoey went to the church to say mass and the archbishop awaited his return.

Nature Pursues a Liar.

"Tho forces of tho universe are in league against alio," says Emerson, and what his terse, penetrating pen would lind to say where tho tying involves perhaps mortal danger to human beings wo will not presumo to say, but will illustrate our meaning as follows: In December, 1S87, a child that had died in Connecticut of diphtheria was brought to Pittsfield, Mass., for burial. Tho parents came with tho body to a house in Pittsfield, and a public funeral was held. Within a week and while the parents of the child still remained as visitors at tho houso a child who lived in the house was taken ill with diphtheria and died. Then came a humiliating confession from the Connecticut parents. They said that tho symptoms of tho second child were just like those of their own and finally acknowledged that arrangements had been made with the physician in attendance upon the case to write a certificate of death by bronchitis instead of diphtheria. Other cases followed in tho same houso. —Philadelphia Press.

Digestible Food.

Ono of tho biggest mistakes about food which people make is to forget that the true value of food to anybody is the measure of its digestibility. Half a pound of cheeso is vastly more nourishing, as regards its mere composition, than half a pound of beef, but while the beef will be easily digested and thus be of vast service to us tho cheese is put out of court altogether for ordinary folks by reason of its indigestibility. Wo should bear this rule in mind when we hear people comparing one food with another in respect to their chemical value.—London Hospital.

Domestic Weather Prophets.

Probably everybody knows that thero are hygroscopic plants which indicate more or less clearly the quantity of moisture in the atmosphere. A strip of seaweed hung in an exposed position frequently does duly as a popular and easily comprehended weather glass, although it may be doubted whether its predictions are of much value. More reliance can lie placed in tho behavior of a pine twig, which may very readily be pressed into service as a domestic weather prophet.—Cologno Gazette.

The mole is not blind, as many persons suppose. Its eye is hardly larger than a pin head and is carefully protected from dust, and flirt by means of inclosing hairs.

Mount Desert island was thus named by Champlain on account of its barren appearance.
