Do any of onr poopio ever query how the dividing lino bol'vncn the United States and the Dominion of Canada is marked, and how travel¬ ers in those wild regions northwest of tho Great Lakes can tell when they stop from the domains of Un¬ cle Sam into those of Quecu Vic¬ toria ? For many years tho ques¬ tion of boundary between the Unit¬ ed States and the possessions of Great Britain was discussed, and at last, at tho convention of London, held in 1818, iho forty-ninth paral¬ lel of north latitude was decided upoo. A parallel of latitude, bow. evor, being an imaginary line, is a very poor guide to a traveler, so the next thing to do was to mark that line so that ail who passed that way should know where it was lo¬ cated. - . , Accordingly, tho country in that vicinity was surveyed, and monu¬ ments were' set up at even miles intervals, the British placing one between every two of ours. -These extend from the Lake of the Woo.ds to thejdocky Mountains. Where the line enters forests, the timber is cut down, the ground cleared a yard wide;“where it crosses small lakes, stone cairns have been b 4 ui|t, sometimes Doing eighteen feet un dcr water and eight above; in oth¬ er places earth mounds, 7x14 feel have been built.

Rhapsody On Tobacco. •‘Now, as to my toast, 1 am call¬ ed upon to speak for the diuir.c plant called tobacto. I have loved it all my life— that is einee I was fO years old, and I liked tha first chew of old plug I put into my mouth a^welljjas I do now. There’s too much hypocricy about tho use of tobacco. Thousand use it and lie about it 1 want you to use it and defend its use, because it adds something to the value and happi¬ ness of life. In spite of tho thun¬ ders of tho pulpit and the anath¬ emas of physician , its use is in¬ creasing, and this is* because the brain of man eravos it. What wotl I we do without it ? Think of waiting for a train without to¬ bacco! Think of crouching in the deadly rifls pit without tobacco ? What would tboso do who add val ue to life by spanning the world with tho rainbows of hope with¬ out tobaccoJT All use tobacco and are tho better for it Ilave the courage of your happinoss and de¬ fend its use. “Tobacco is a luxury and on that account 1 want the tax on it re moved. No matter what necessa¬ ries cost, I want cheap luxuries. They say luxuries should be taxed because the rich pay for them. Why, labor pays all the taxes in the world ! It is tho only solvent thing beneath the stars! The dia¬ monds which glisten on the bosom of beauty are paid for by labor. I want tobacco absolutely free in these United ^States. [Applause.] Some want poor devils to do all the work in this world and smoke in tha next. I want thorn to smoko in this. Tho fames which arose from the pipe of pr nco of the Indi¬ an were as different from tho clouds of war as hoaven and hell—are thcro any such places? “Tobacco is tbo best plant that grows on the face of the earth. Personally, I would rathor do with¬ out any other vegetable. I ..pity tho ancients, who’had to do with¬ out, it, and I envy Columbus, who was the fl/sC Europeon to sec its smoko risa over the lair isle of Cu ba. This new world has given no better gift to mankind than the celestial loaf. Gentleman, giyc us straight goods, and future gen orations will rise up and call you blessed.” . “Dont Give up the Ship!” Dou’t surrender, although tho fight be long and bitter, and re¬ sults thus far bat dismal failures. Old Bad.BIopd may yet be con queied and disease driven from tho citadel of life. You have not used the proper remedy, or long ngo yon would have felt a change. You have tried this and that, a hun¬ dred bottles of this specific and fif¬ ty bottles of tho sarsaparilla, and feel you might as well have used so much rain water for all tho good effect they had. Why havo you not tried B. B. B. (Botanic Blood Balm) mado in Atlanta, Ga.? Be¬ cause it isn’t advertised so conspiv ciously as othor remedies? Well, that’s a poor reason. Tho great¬ est hum bogs can afford tho largest As for B. B. B. try it, and if six battles don’t do yon more good than nil the .other blood medicine you have overtak¬ en, call it a humbug, a name that has never yet been applied to it by •-* : any one. Walter Bridges,. Athens, Tenr>., writes: “For six years I had been afflicted witb running sores and an enlargement of the bene in my leg. I tried everything I heard of with¬ out any permanent benefit until Botanic Blood Balm - was recom¬ mended to me. - -* After using six bottles the sores healed, and I am now in^better health than I have ever been.

While traveling ono, day on his circuit tho trace which fastened his buggy broke and* tho judge spent half an hour of kisyaluablo time in a vain endeav¬ or to repair thedamngo. While he was vonting.bis'Abgbr on tho trace * nd the world in general, a negro camo along. Mr. Crisp told him ol his trouble. Tho negro lot oul tho trace, cut a hole in the leather, and the job was done. “Why on earth didn’t I IhiDk of that?’’ remarked the judge more to himself than 10 tho negro. "Well, don’t you know, mnrster. some folks is jest natur’ly smarter than t ’othor,’’ said tho colored man. » .“Perhaps you are right,” admit¬ ted tho judge: “bu.. what shall I give you for fixing tho traco?” “ ’Poors to mo 50 cents would bo ’bout right, marster,” was the answer. * “WhaC Fifty, cents! Why, you ^ w.cre’nt three minutes doing it. M “O, marster, you don’t suppose I charge you 50 cents for doing jost dat. I only charge yoU a quarter for the job.

No Honor Among Thieves., “There is talk o i honor rmong thieves; it's all bosh, as their ac¬ tions show;” was the sententious remark ef Inspector Byrnes tho othor day.

Tho in speclor also said that the maxim ol self-preservation is the first law of nature found no contradiction as applied to thieves. They stoop to nothing to save themselves from punishment, and betray their com paniona in crime without tho .light rat compunction of conscience In' many, :r if not most, instances these betrayals of coupanions in crime are made voluntarily, solely with tbo thoinioM intent fn to .on— secure a light ,- penalty , at the worst, with tho chance of go mg scot free, and a study of the ca ses within the recollection of the present generation more than con firm, the inspector, trite ohserra ,0a ’ * ?*■:’ . • Iho records ... also show that crim¬ inals are not only ready to betray their comrades, but will even prac¬ tice their arts against those who have sought to help them.
