TOBACCO SECRETS.
Tarkiah and Virginian Lcnfa Arc V»« |
riptlca nl th» Same Plant.
IIow ninny people even among the •
most confirmed smokers know what is ,
the difference between Turkish and l
Virginia tobaccos?
The smoker, of course, ran tell you
which is which at ttie first whiff, but
if you ask him what the original dis
tinction is between the two he will tell
you that one comes from Turkey and
the other from the States.
He is wrong. You could grow Turk
ish and Virginia tobaccos in the same
field, for they are merely two different
varieties of the same plant. Turkish
is tint leaf of Nieotinna rustlcn, while
Virginia is Nieotinna nugustipolia. Of
course the two are often blended by to
bacconists.
Again, wliat constitutes the differ
ence between “strong” and “mild” to
baccos? It is simple enough. The strong
product Is so manufactured that it
burns slowly, the result being that the
contained nicotine Is distilled in an un
altered state. Mild tobaccos nrc those
which burn well, and thus their con
tained nicotine is consumed or decom
posed, with the result that a less nar
cotic smoke is formed.
We often hear cheap cigars spoken of
ns "cnhhnge leaves," and doubtless
many people believe that these are ac
tually adulterated with other sub
stances than tobacco. Often in such n
weed tho outside wrapper is noticed to
be
f|
libel. The piece of greenish leaf is real
tobacco which lias been plucked unripe
or not properly cured. It is only to lie
found in thin, poor leaf.—London Ex

Encounter With Tricky Money
fhangers In Chinn.
In the grre.it hinterland of China,
the region that lies south of Siberia
and far to the west of Peking, there is
a mixed population among which the
chief commercial element Is the Chi
nese. These “Kitats,” as they are call
ed, are continually on the lookout for
some opportunity to fleece the ignorant
Tartars who stray in f’mni the country,
leathers Hue and Gabet, French
priests, who In the course of their
travels In 1845 had reached “Blue
Town,” were from their dress mistak
en for Turtnr lamas, nnd when they
sought to have a silver Ingot changed
to copper cash found the change short.
The weight showed by the scales was
correct, hut when the chief clerk took
the swnnpan, or counting frame, and
added the amounts the result seemed
small.
“This is an exchange office,” said the
travelers. “We are the sellers, you the
buyers. You have made your calcula
tions; give us pencil nnd paper, and wo
will make ours.”
“Nothing could he more just. You
have laid down a fundamental princi
ple of the law of commerce,” replied
the Chinese clerk, confident of their ig
norance, ns lie gave them the articles.
A very short calculation sufficed to
show the Frenchmen that they were to
be cheated of a thonsund sapeks.

“Impossible! I)o you think that nil of

He proceeded with an air of great
anxiety to do so and attained his pre
vious result.
“I knew I was right," he declared,
passing tho fra mo to a colleague. “See,
brother.” The colleague calculated and*
attained the same result.

COTTON GROWERS TO MEET.
President Jordan Calls Convention in
January at New Orleans.
President Harvle Jordan makes the
announcement that the Southern Cot
ton Growers’ meeting in New Orleans,
Jan. 24, 15 and 20, is for the purpose
of organizing and consolidating south
ern agricultural associations into a
central body with a bureau of infor
mation on the lines of the United
States department of agriculture. It
is not intended to discredit the gov
ernment bureau but to supplement its
lnfoimation.
“We propose to know as much about
the business of the spinners as they do
about outs.” said Mr. Jordan. "As
it is now, they know everything about
us, and we are in the dark. Among
other things, it is our object to bring
about closer relations between the
manufacturer and producer, that the
price may be fixed by the laws of sup
ply amd demand, and not by the specu.
lator."
Fine* For Ctaorch Shirkers.
After being dormant for some years
the act (3 Jus. I. c. 4. 1G06) which pro
vided that any person absenting him
self from his church on a Sunday with
out sufficient excuse should be fined
twelvepence for each absence and im
prisoned in default of distress on Ills
goods until the line was paid was re
vived in 1838. A report of the inspect
ors of prisons contains a list of eleven
persons in Lancashire fined and im
prisoned under the act between Feb.
12, IS.”!), and May 10, 1.810. In one case
a laborer was in prison for ten weeks
(until released by order of the home
secretary) after being convicted in a
penalty of 1 shilling, with 14 shillings
costs, for having been absent from
church a single Sunday. This net was
repealed, so far as regards Roman
Catholics, in 1841, and wholly in 1840.

Were all the calculators in the world

The money changers were extremely
embarrassed and began to turn very
red when a bystander, seeing how awk
ward was the situation, proposed him
self as umpire. “I’ll reckon It up for
you,” he said. And his result agreed
with that ot the Frenchmen. The'su
perintendent of the bank made a pro
found bow.
“Sirs lamas,” suid he, “your mathe
matics are better than mine.”
“Oh, not at all,” replied the French
men in 'the polite •terms-required by
Chinese etiquette. “Your swanpan is ex
cellent, but who ever heard of one al
ways free from error? People like you
may well make mistakes once in
awhile, when poor Ignorant folks like
us make them tens of thousands of
times. Our swanpan, however, is in
fallible, beiug composed of the very
figures by which the royal astronomer
of the most high emperor at Peking
reckons the times and the pathways of
the sun, moon nnd stars. Such figures
could not be In error. Now, however,
thanks to the pains you hnve taken,
we have fortunately concurred In our
reckoning.”

and the full value of their ingot, they
left the shop.—Youth’s Companion.

The Bolling: Point.
Why is it that in boiling in an open
vessel such liquids as cider, etc., wa
ter only escapes in steam, while the
strength remains, while in boiling it
In a retort, as in a still, the strength
i passes away in the steam, nnd in dis-
j tilling salt or impure water only the
! pure water passes off in the steam?
! This is because of a difference in
j the boiling points in the fluids and
that under the increased pressure of
a retort (lie boiling point is higher than
j that of water in the open air at the
j ordinary pressure of tho atmosphere.
If cider had a higher boiling point than
water when the water boils at 100 de
grees it takes some little cider with it
mechanically. On the contrary, if ai
cohol were present before the boiling
point of water were reached most of
the spirits would have passed away.
If the increased pressure of the retort
allows it on the boiling point of th»
fluids therein being reached, suppose
the heat to he great enough, they will
be changed to vapor and pass away,
whatever they be.
