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 press. DIAMOND CUT DIAMOND. ka 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. “Superintendent of the bank,” they »e patched with pale green, and this j said, “yottr swnnpan Is in error by a act is held proof of the cnbhagc leaf | thousand sapeks.” “Impossible! I)o you think that nil of n sudden I've forgotten how to use nty swnnpan? Let me go over It again." 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.

These figures pie tart. serviette instead of a napkin, an Eng lish word, but originally of French or igin, ns is the Scotch word napery, used for household linen. When you enter a shop you are served with cor sets Instead of stays, costumes by a costumiere instead of dresses by a dressmaker. "Blouses" take the place of shirts or waists, and hose are of fered for stockings. The former word is, however, English. At the theater we have programmes Instead of play bills and matinees in place of afternoon performances. Toques are adjusted with as much ease as huts, and we eat In a restaurant ns cheerfully as In a dining room. There are, of.course, un translatable words which must be used, but our good old English lan- guago is rapidly becoming a hotch potch of foreign words, while telegra phy is doing Its best to oust all the crisp and racy Saxon speech. When ever possible let ns determine to use an English instead of a French word, both in literature and conversation.— London Graphic.

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. —London Chronicle. that we have traced upon this paper are very different from your swanpau. It is impossible for them to lie wrong. Were all the calculators in the world to work all their lives on this simple operation the result could be no differ ent than to affirm that you are wrong by a thousand sapeks.” 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 so, with “malice toward none" and the full value of their ingot, they left the shop.—Youth’s Companion.

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. “I found I had saved up a thousand dollars without pinching myself.” "Without pinching yourself?” “Without pinching myself.” "Then how did you know you were awake?”—Puck.
