POI NTE RS TOUCHING '1'?I E
SALE, AND USE OF
TOP,BACO,
No article of commerce, if wo ex
cept spirits, pays a duty so euor•
mons as tobacco. From it is de.
rived the principal part of the
revenue of every country. Engl Ind
eepeciall,y receiving a duty that
seems stupendous. For what her
people pays $2,000,000 for they
pay their own government, for the
privileg°'of using, $20,000,000; and
of all the great buildings of Loudon
the immense warehouse used for
storing and bonding tobacco are
second to none.'
ASTODINO FIGURES.
The amount of tobacco manufac-
tured and Fold in Chicago alone is
enough tc asto'>nd one not already
acquainted with the vast Patent of
of this traffic. The revenue returns
of this district for 1891 represent
1.333 tnanufacturies of cigars and
cigarettes, leaking 170 06,800
cigars and using 3,992,750 pounds
tobacco, and 3446,050 cigarettes,
using 10,140 pounds of tobacco; 130
tobacco mannfactories return duty
oe 2,448„920 pounds srloking to-
bacco ; 1,156,004 potinde or line' ciit
tobacco, 190,189 pounds sunff, rnnk
ing an aggregate of 7,708,012
pounds manufactured tobacco, pay
ing to tho revenue of the United
Stales the large sum of $877,-
543 98.
But this amount,great 88 it is,is hot
it fraction of the vast tobacco traffic
of Chicago ; as it is estimated upon
the best of authority, derived from
one of the largest representative
tobacco houses in the city,tha' fully
seven eights of the tobacco sold in
in the city is manufactured in vari-
ous other places in the United
States.
As near as can be ascertained,
there ars in Chieago 20,000 places
where cigars, cigarettes and tobacco
are retailed ; and it is said by those
boat qualified to judge that at least
600,000 cigars and cigarettes are
consumed in the city daily.
Taking info account the 1,463
manufadtories, the largest of which
employ 500 people—including all
ages and both sexes—and the 20,000
places where tobacco is eeld, it is
reasonable t•1 assume that 100,000
,or say one-tenth of the entire popu-
lation of Chicago, derive their in-
come and support wholly or in part
from tobacco.
This seems a very significant fact
that an article tht t is generally
esteemed as expensive, and by some
an injurious luxury. and something
that might be dispensed with,
should afford the means of liveli-
hood to such a vast number—suffi-
cient in itlnlf to make a large city
in population.
To the politica[ economist and to
the moral philosopher it also affords
a wide field for speculation,
DEBASED AND REFINED.
Tobacco, if not a necessity of
human life, has come to be consid-
ered by very many as essential to
human happiness ; as its merits are
appreciated and its use Been in all
nations, at& among all classes, from
'the most debated to the most re-
fined. In same countries men
women and even children aro its
slaves. Witness its excessive use
among the Turks, Persians and
other Eastern nations. In the Bur-
man empire it Is said both sexes
smoke incessantly. In China an
indispensable article in a lady's
dress is a pocket in which to
carry her pipe and tobacco; and
the ladies of Lima puff their cigari-
a° in tha public streets. The
Trench, Spanish, and Italians do
not use the weed quite to the ex-
tent of other nations.
The Germans, it would scorn,
'smoke at all time and in all places.
Its use is quite as great among the
'Hollanders, Indeed- the latter
might be said to make it even a
part of their religion, as who has
not seen t110 plitcl• families leading
the procesaion of his fetrrlly to and
from church smoking the inevitable
pip°.
Tee custom of chowiug the weed
is quite as universal as smoking,
especially among Americans and
sailors. Snuff taking does not ob•
tain to the extent of the two former
vices (1) its uee being the greatest
among Frenchmen. Before our
civil war it was a custom among the
ladies of the South to practice the
disgusting habit of "dipping,”
which consisted in dipping a piece
of softened wood in' snuff 'and not-
hing it ou the gums. Northern
civiliz'ltion has since nearly extir-
pated this odiou's habit. In the
early days of tobacco using— in the
'thee of " good Queen Bess "—it is
,said that Sir Walter "(sleigh and
Sir Ilugh Middleton us ,d to sit in
the door and smoke. It is an ac-
credited fact that the former noble-
man went to his execution with a
pipe in his mouth,after the afu''esaid
good Queen Bess (1) had no further
use for him.
It is also said that Sir Walter
used to meet the wits of the day at
the Mermaid tavern in Lonilun and
that among these -were Beaitinout,
Fletcher, Selden, B',ti Johaon,
Shakespeare and others, J,t is
much to bo regretted that there
were no 'reportersin thole times' to
take down the inspired utterances
of these •"wits of other days" for
what arich literary legacy might now
he ours. It is a remarkable fact
that Shakespeare line nowhere made
the slightest allusion to the "divine
plants." He speaks of other nar-
cotics -of "poppy, mandiagora and
ell the drowsy syrups of tha world,"
and of "the insane root that takes.
the reason prisoner," but nowhere
of tobacco. But it is not so with
"Bare Ren Jonson," who says "1'o-
hacco I do a.+sort, and will affirm be-
fore any court in Christoudoun, or
before any Prince in Europe to be
the most sovereign and precious
plant ever the earti, tendered to the
use of man."
PETS AND TIIE WE sD,
Tobacco has the authlrity of a
good many names eminent in litera-
ture in its favor, Milton it is sail)
drelr his inspiration and consolation
from a single pipe and a glass of
water at night. Sir Isa.c Newton
mortally offended his intended by
using her tapering forefinger toclean
out his pipe. Burton, the author
of the "Anatomio of Melancholy"
pronounced the weed a sovereign
remedy for a!t diseases. The Mani -
ben of the famr-us "Kit Kat" Club
became celebrated for their consump-
tion of the Virginia weed. In later
times Thackery relates of that great
master of English prose, Joseph
Addison, that besides drinking,
which alas I was pa ,t praying for in
those days, he indulged in that
odious habit of drinking. He liked
to go and sit in the smoking room of
'the Grecian' or 'the Devil;' to
mingle in tbo great club of the
world, having good will and kind-
ness to all, and having'need of some
habit and Custom binding hila to
some few."
It is related of the wits and write
era of those times that they spent
runny hours of the twenty, four in
clubs and coffee houses where they
dined, drank, and smoked. In
those days wit and news went by
word of mouth ; a journal of 1710
containing the smallest portion of
either,
The chiefs spoke, the faithful
habitues sat round, and strangers
came to wonder and listen. So all
along down the ages literary and
scholarly men have been to a great
extent devotees of the weed.
It is now, however, the provence
of this article to deal with the ehics
of tobacco using. There seems to
be in the human family en innate
'onging for stimulants and nac'oties
of some kind, and from the earliest
ages various substances have been
used to promote acceleration to the

WIIAT IT DOES NOT DO
If tobacco (1000 nut possess all the
virtues 1ts devotees claim for it, there
are certain things thnt it is not, nor
does not do. It dyes not directly put
an enemy in a plan's mouth to steal
away his Majus. It dues not transry
form a mind gentle r11n11 into an in-
carnate fiend. It does not filth
from him his good natt>e, deprive
him- of his manhood and self, respect,
and roll hint into the gutter. It
does not rob his wife and children
of their patrimony and support,
and slake their protectorand defend
e a pe rah and a leper in society whose
approach is to be dreaded more than
the pestilence. It is not the author
and instigator of nearly all the
crimes ju the Wender of hnmande-
pravity for six thousand years,
which if collected would Brake a
pyramid of human "cuaseduess"
that would "O'ertop old Pelion, or
the skyish head of blue Olmypue."
These negative virtues, if they may
he called such, tobacco certainly
poseeeses.
In concluding this, interesting
theme %ho smoker will quote from
a writer in the North Anteri.an
Review ell the influence et tobacct,
on the moral and intellectual ch a.r•
act:er of nations. It is said to snake
the Frenchmen more gay and th e
Spaniard more grave. It has cots

covery of tobacco were the terror of
Christendom, have since sunk into
"the sick man" of the nations.

The facts In a strange case, which
in sotneIrespects is not unlike• that
of Enoch Arden, have been made
public in Woodstock, Ont. In this
case tho similarity C°8808 upon the
return of husband No 1. Twelve
years ago Charlotte Smith,. the
daughter of two weld -known resid-
ents, was married to W.illian
Walter Maybes, a labo•iue man.
The marriage was appearently
happy one, but for some unknown
reason, or for no reason at all, at
the end of four years Maybee sud-
denly disappeared, going no one
knew where, and leaving his wile
with one child to make her way
in the world as best she could:
Shortly after her recreant. husband's
departure Mrs. Maybe° grave birth
to another child. Thus handicap•
ped the poor woman fought alone
the stern battle for daily life man-
aging to make ends meet by taking
in laundry work, etc. It would
seem, however, that she tired of
single life, and accordingly, on
Nov.$, 1888, she again married at
this place to an Englishmen nam -ed
George Burtchart, nothing having
le the meantime been heard of hus-
band No, 1. One day last week,
all uneltpoctedly, Maybee put in ap-
pearanice in the town, and on Sat.

ed from work, he was informed that
'he could go.” This ho did.

with the apple exporter to have his
stock inspected at the place of ship-
ment,the maximum fee being placed
at 10 cents pt r b trrel. A large.
number of shippers will avail them-

guarantee them higher prices for
