"OUR LADY NICOTINE' Items in the History of To? bacco. Facts of Interest to Tbose wbo Use it and Those Wbo Dod'I. its Well ns to Those Interested la Oar New roiieuloui. [New York Sun-] Taking it for granted, because the ? contrary is incapable of proof, that what we now call tobacco waa un hcad of by civilized people until It was discovered by the Columbian explor? ers on what is now the Island of Cuba, by the grace of God and the nerve of Uncle Sam no longer a Spanish posses? sion, the chroniclers are somewhat un? decided as to the exact moment of dis? covery, but It was sometime within a week or ten days after the 27th of Oc? tober, 1492, the day on which the purple mountain peaks of an unknown coun? try first broke the level sky-lino of the sea which spread its sapphire sheen before the eagle eye of a Genoese pilot. When the three-keeled Spanish fleet had anchored off the coral reefed shores of the new island which the Italian In command called the "Pearl of the Antilles," and the natives called Caobol. meaning the land of the dead, because the warriors always killed their prisoners, he sent exploring parties out into the wild scnrchlng for the rich mines of gold and silver and that mystlcnl Cubanacan in the centre of the island whose gates were pure gold and whose walls precious stones, with BtorlCB of which the credulous sailors had been stuffed by the yellow editors of that day. Of course the sailors never found anything as represented, but they found a great novelty, to wit, people with firebrands in their hands puffing clouds of smoke from their mouths nnd noses. At first the sailors thought they "had 'cm ag'in," but Cuba was local option at this time and they knew that could not be: then they thought It was a wild western way the people had of perfuming themselves, or fumigating against the time to come, and they proceeded to investigate. They Boon found It waa not perfumery that was being burned, nor exactly a fumlgant, but that it was a strnnge herb, which, wrapped In the husks of Indian corn, also a novelty, the people burned and inhaled the smoke. What Its name or effects were they did not know Immediately, but discoverers are Inquisitive folks, and these sailors tried the smoking process, then nnd there, greatly to the uphcavel of their entire inner men, and their utter disgust with so vile a compound. THE} MANY NAMES. ^_ Later they ceased to wonder at the smoking, for wherever they went they found that the custom, In one form or another, pre? vailed, and still later discoverers found that It was not only common in the "West Indies, but all over the great continent that they had happened on. They found, too, that while the herb was pretty much the same everywhere, 11 had different names In different lo? calities, being called "kohlha," "pie celt," "petun," "cohlba," "yoli," and "tobago," while up In Virginia It had the name of "apooke." The name "to? bago" becamo popular with the dis? coverers because it was more generally used, being the name of a peculiar pipe for smoking the woed, which seemed to be the proper thing with all classes everywhere. This pipe was a Y-shaped ?affair, the prongs of which were Insert? ed In the nostrils and the main stem went Into the burning tobacco, which was piled in a heap and set on Are, ns many smoking around It or as few an might be. It does not appear that the nat(ves ever made the tobago long ?nough In the stem to be filled with the weed and smoked ns a pipe, although pipes of other forms were in use among some of the tribes. When the forked Btem was not procurable a single reed stem was used In one nostril. The word "tobago" waa euphonized Into "tobaco," which the Spaniards retained, nlthough other nations for fifty or sixty yarns attempted to adopt other names for the new American product. Ohlef among these titular designers was Jean Nlcot, ambassador from France to Portugal In 1550, who bought ronje of the plants from a Flomlsh merchant in Lisbon who bad them from Plorjda. He sent them to the Grand Prior of France and they were given the name of the Herbs de Grand I-'riuer, which was appropriated enough, as tobacco at that time was used by civilized people for medicinal purposes only. When Nlcot, who was a gallant nnd courtier of the old school, came back to France in 1661, he presented some of the plnnts to Queen Catherine de Medicls with his compliments, and gave them the name of Herbe de la cine or Hcrbe Medlcee. These lady? like names did not stick, however, nnd they gave place to the name Nicotiana, from which is nicotine, the scientific designation for the essential oil, or the scul, of tobacco. In one part of Italy H was known as Erba Santa Croce, Cardinal Prosper Santa Croce having brought it from Portugal; and In an? other It wan Tornabona, from a French envoy of that name who had received the plants from Nlcot. At last, how? ever, tobago, the name given to It semi? officially by Hernandez de Ovledo, be? came universally recognised and was adapted to the various languages of Europe. To-day it is still "Tobaco" in f?paln, while it la "tobacco" In English speaking countries, "tobac" among the French, "tobacco" nmong the Italians nnd Portuguese; "taboka" among th<> I'oles; "tobak" nmong the Danes and Scandinavians and "tobak" among Ger? mans, Dutch and Russians. The opin? ion held by some that the. plant receiv? ed Its name from the Island of Tobago is a reversal of the facts. The island received Its name from tobago, the na? tive pipe. Columbus believing that the island, when he discovered it. was shap? ed like lobago, and so called It. THIS PIPE.

It cures by absorption and does not irritate the skin or cause any annoyance tended their explorations they found that the natives of the North, as well as those of the South, were addicted to the tobucco habit, and among some ot the more advanced peoples the pipe was an object of artistic and scicntitlc consideration, being of the most con? venient shapes, of the finest material and richly curved. The highest and the lowest used tue weed as they do to-day, and It Is said that Montezuma, that Aztec whose pedigree was mixed up with the Pyramids, was wont to smoke his pipe after dinner when he had rinsed his mouth with scented water. A rare old dude was he. While many used the pipe via the mouth, more used It In the nostrils, and so violent was the manner of in? halation that the smoker became stupe lied with the fumes and saw "visions," much as he docs In these d.iys who "hits the Pipe" In an opium joint. How? ever, so far as recorded, it was never as fatal In Its effects as an excess of cigarettes is in these days. Is it that the smoker has degenerated or the to? bacco gained strength with the years? A common method of mouth Bmoking was to roll the weed In a corn husk as a cigar Is now rolled in a tobacco leaf, only larger, and another was to make a funnel or cornucopia of the palm leaf and loud It with the dry tobacco. This method became popular with ship captains and sailors, but it Is not re? corded that any of them smoked a dozen cigars a day. In 1434 Romano Pane, who came over with Columbus on his second voyage, saw natives taking tobacco in another form. This was through a cane stem a yard or more long, one end of which was placed in tho nostril and other In a pile of powdered tobacco,' and the powder was inhaled, securing the re? sult desired by acting as a purge. This wns the first instance known of snuff taking, which later became a more ultra-fashlonablo form of tobacco using among tho courtiers of later times than any other, and fortunes were some? times represented in a single jeweled snuffbox. No record Is made of any discovery of the "dipping" habit, that being rather the development of a. later and presumably civilization. Tobacco chewing was also known to tho natives and practiced to some ex? tent. In ir.ort, when the Spaniards landed In Paraguay, they saw and felt the first of it, the Inhabitants coining out to fight them beating drums throwing water, and "chewing herbs and spurting the Juice towards them." In our day of two-mile range guns this weapons would scarcely be effective, but against a foe hand to hand, or ni"uth to eye, it might prove to be no mean offence or defence. Generally speaking, tobacco was chewed as a means of staying hunger on long jour? neys or marches, civilized soldiers and sailors adopting it Inter for the same reason, and because it was less Incon? venient than the pipe. In the time of the Restoration some few English gen tlmen chewed, and silver cuspidors wer.-> carried around by them to be used, but more daintily than are those irashtub-IIke affairs one may see about the corridors of the Capitol, public buildings and hotels nt Washington, where our free and untrammelled great American statesman and fellow citi zens tiro wont to congregate. But to? bacco chewing never became popular aiming the earlier better classes, and i: was not until tho United States de? veloped a people hungering to "chaw up" the tyrants of the Old World, and not being to aide to get at them, that tobacco chowers grow into numbers among all classes. Among foreigners even ti> this day the habit prevails only among "navvies" nnd their kind. Ite sure you are right, then go to New Yerk Dental Rooms to have teeth ex? tracted No pnln.
