Consumption of Tobacco. The universality of the use of tobacco Is once more emphasized by the tables show ing the consumption of the commodity In many countries, Just published by the department of Commerce and Labor. Despite edicts, ukases, counterblasts, ser mons, tracts and proclamations, My Lady Nicotine has not been deposed. Long ago an English writer lamented that tho "new and strange habit" had been acquired with a rapidity to which tho history of no other luxury afforded a parallel. Rated among the luxuries, tobacco Is an easy mark for tho taxgathercr, and yields a tremendous revenue to the treasury of every nation. The nntl-tobacco propa ganda remains appalled by the bewilder ing number of the devotees of tho weed and the billions of dollars that go up an nually in tho world in tobacco smoke. It requires nearly half a billion pounds of tobacco to meet tho consumption of a single year In the United States. If this huge consumption were equally distributed among the entire population, every per son would dispose of five and a half pounds of the product annually. Eliminat ing those who are under 15, constituting a third of tho population, the per capita consumption would be about 1G pounds. No census report has undertaken to ex hibit what is tho per capita consumption among the actual usera of tobacco. The statistics place Belgium in tho first place with respect to the per capita con sumption. The United States is a close second. No other countries can be re garded as rivals of Belgium and the United States In devotion to the tobacco habit. Tho Belgians are hopeless smok ers. Americans are the most versatile tobacco users. Tho varieties of clears. smoking and chewing tobacco and snuff thrown on the market here ever year are Infinite. In the production of tobacco tho Unit ed States outruns all competitors. It is estimated that this country grows yearly one-half of the world's supply. There was an Increase of nearly 60 per "cent. In ine area aevoted to the tobacco crop from 1890 to 1900. The total value of our to bacco manufacturers In 1900 was $283,076, 646. Tho revenue derived by the federal government tho last year from tobacco1 was J65.832.102, greater than that derived by any other country from this sourco save by France, whose total gross reve nue from tobacco a government monoply was J81.0C3.000. It Is not disclosed whether the customs and excise taxes on tobacco have had any effect upon tho per capita consumption of the article In the United States. In Great Britain tho per capua consumption, 1.95 pounds. Is low. This Is attributed to the high duties, the average rate per pound being five times as high as in the United States. Tho theory that tho smoker will smoke to the same extent, no matter how much the cost of his favorite tobacco may be Increased by a customs or an excise tax, seems to be set aside in tho case of tho English. One of the deductions of the American statisticians Is that, on tho whole, tho countries with tho highest taxation show tho lowest consumption, certainly a diminished consumption of tho more expensive grades of tobacco. William Kingsley, who lives near Bloom field, Mo., and who claims to be 122, sayB that he fought under Nelson at Trafalgar. He also was in the Crimean, Mexican and civil wars. A Wonderful Saving. Tho largest Methodist church In Geor gia, calculated to use over 100 gallons of the usual kind of mixed paint In painting their church. They used only 32 gallons of the Long man & Martinez L. & M. paint mixed with 24 gallons of Linseed oil. Actual cost of paint made was less than J1.20 per gallon. Saved over eighty (J80.00) dollars in paint, and got a big donation besides. Every Church will be given a liberal quantity whenever they paint. Many houses aro well painted with four gallons of I & M. and three gallons of Linseed oil mixed therewith. Wears and covers like gold. These celebrated paints are sold by Ilobbins & Cowles, Brattleboro, Vt. Profit In Poultry Food. The best evidence that there Is money In feeding Poultry Food Is the fact that the most successful Poultrymen use It extensively. B. L.

"Many explorers have commented on tho speed with which news travels among savage tribes," says Amateur Work. "A curious observation as to a possible solu tion of tho problem of their methods lias been made by Rev. A.

The transmission nnd re ception of messages on these drums Is Intrusted to special corps of signallers, some one of whom Is always on duty, and who beat on tho message ln what Is practically a Morse alphabet 'On hear ing the message,' says Mr. Rldeout, 'tho signaller can always tell whether It Is for his chief or for some distant village, and delivers It verbally or sends It. on ac cordingly, and it Is thus uirried on with surprising rapidity from ono village to another till It reaches Its destination. King LcrothodI granted me tho privilege of sending messages to our missionary workers by his great telegraph system, and never have I known a message sent by It to fall to roach the person for whom It was Intended In its proper form. All that work took place in the Boer war, victories and reverses In the Transval and Orange Free State were known to us by gourd-lino message hours before the news ever reached us by field telegraph.

Permanent cures in Brattleboro prove tho merit of Doan's. Mrs. A! W. Larson, of 7 Chestnut street, Brattleboro, Vt, says: "For a year or moro I was subject to pains in my back which were always worse at night. As a consequence I arose ln the morning f1" lng lame and sore and tired out generally on account of being deprived of my rest and sleep. Lifting, stooping or any extra strain on the muscles of the back were sura to bring twinges of pain. I tried many remedies but met with indifferent success until I went to P. II. Holden's drug store and got a box of Doan's Kid ney Pills. I soort found they were helping me, and after using two boxes tho pa'11 entirely disappeared and my back was stronger. I could enjoy my night's sleep and arise ln tho morning feeling refresh ed, while my general health was better than It had been for months. This is why I am glad to recommend Doan's Kid ney Pills."
