But the people of Spain last year (and not_the male inhwbitants of the Spanish Bggansula exclusively) smoked $31,000,- . worth of tobacco, an average of $1.80 for each inhaitant. The total con- eum.ption o'f'tobac-c`o in Spain in a year for cigarettes (which are very pdpuln`), cigars and snutf is 20,000 tons, the same ` quantity that is consumed in Italy, a country with nearly twice the popula- non of Spain. The Spaniards are great- er smokers than the .Italians, as these g-ures show, and they use, `too, it may be added, a much better quality of to- Dacco, or, more properly spraki`1l_g they use more of the -better quality. One- tthird of the tobacco used in Italy is raised, so to speak, on the premises, and its excellence is no-t such that there is a large _fore_ig'n demand for it. ' . _ The consumption of - tobacco in -the United King om aanounts in a year to about 25,0 tons and in France to -10,- 000 tons, a disparity which is much -greater than the difference in popul-ation, and has been steadily growing of late. years. At the beginning 0!. the present century more tobacco was used per capita in England than in France, but gradually and steadily the French per capital consumption has increased, owing, some think, to the fact that for more than eighty years the sale of tobacco in any form in France has been a Gov- ernment monopoly, the prots from which have gone toward the reduction of taxation, and the business of which has been greatly stimulated by legisla- tion. An enormous qunantit-y oi` tobacco, amounting in a year to 75,000 tons_, is consumed in Germany, and the Ger- mans-, it is to be observed, are rather pipe than cigarette smokers; cut tobacco in Germany being the chied item of de- mand. Genmany raises aubout 40 .1'er cent. of the tobacco which its people use and imports the other 60. Germany IS the country of pipe smokers as the United States are, beyond all other coun- tries, the land of cigar smokers. And when the gures or foreign countries are compared with those ofgthe United States, the extent of the American con- su-nrption may be judged read-ily. There were collected as revenue last year by the treasury department l`:tX'\:.: on to- bacco to the amount of .,f-30,000,000- 12,500,000 on cigars, $1,000,000 on cigar- ettes. $650,000 on snuff, and the balance. $15,250,000, on smoking and chewing tobacco. The A.-niei-.ica.n product of to- ba-cco amo-un-ts in a year to 250,000 tons, or about one-quarter "of the whole to- bacco product of the world. The ex- ports of American tclbacco are about 150,000 tons, of which Holland, Belg:-nu, England and Germany are the chief. consumers. The imports of tobacco into the United States, chiey from Ctlllzl and from the Dutch possessiormameunts -to 15,000 tons in .a year. Since the `be- ginning of the C-ulban war the amount of tobacco imported has decreased. Hol- .land uses in proeportion to its population more tolbacco than doesany other coun- try in the world, the aiverage consump- tion being 100 ounces a year for each in-hazbitant. Belgium averages .80. Tur- key 70, and the United States a-bout 60. Althougli the habit is no longer so gen- erally diifused as it once was, the Unit- ed States hold the unen-viable position of being rst among the nations in the amount of chewing tobacco used.--New York Sun. up:-egancas`1n ayna Address to M1as~Rix. .

Detective Chamberlain and Commis- sioner Sherwood,_ of Ottawa, made the search and arrest. Up in the attic they found. two perfect moulds about two inches wide, three inches in length and one inch and a half in thickness. These were made of Plaster Paris and were for moulding 5, 10, 25 and 50 cent pieces of Canadian coin. Ore ten cent piece partly made, a number of nished coins, 9. stick of lead, weigh ing three or four pounds, a piece of metalr the some as that used in the `counterfeit coin, an iron` ladle for melt- ing the metal and several pounds of Plaster paris. It would be a diicult matter for anyone not acquainted `with the counterfeit, especially the smaller dc-nominations, to detect them, they are so well made. After searching the house they went to the barn, and in an old shed discovered _a sort of blacksmithwtorge, bputwithout {bellows ; the forge is built of brick; no doubt . where the ladle and piece of lead were `found. One coin mould was hidden ' almost at the bottom of a barrel of old ` letters. V ' O V The Reformetory Value of,Happ1ness. r E I believe it is Mr. SLBVBDBOLI who says that the duty of being happy is the most underrated duty in the world. And" in spite of all we may wish or assert to the contrary, there is indubit- able evidence that happiness, up to `date, at least, hasa basis in physical Well being. I suppose one of the ireasons why the reformers of the earth have not. been notably delightful per- sons to live with is because they were .ei1her-tool busytor too tired to be happy. And yet a happy man, and especially a happy woman,_is a radiat- ing "f-qcusof reform, for such a person possesses that gentle. and diffused per- suasiveness which leads us into willing 1 good endeavor, simply because it dis- .i-1?-Iisto _87l` 304 s*?t Of enjoyins "ne-`Vbeh_a\'r`iour.-From "_WoIi1en and v .~forms,".' by;`H_elsn, Watterscn Moody, in the January Sgribnegfs. ; V , 813 Bay Point.

V In France, wedding 1-imgs used to be made of three or more links of quaint design; and in Germany, at the same time, they were engraved with queer astrological characters. Roman Catlin- peoples, particular-ry Italians, had :1 fashion of exnbedd-ing in the ring :1 fragment or some relic. such as a morsel of the true cross. The Greekchureh uses two rings, one of gold and one uf silver. In Spain, wedding rings made of the hoofs of a.s ses are supposed to be possesed of peculiar virtue and ins'1re~ their wearers against epilepsy. Fashion has determinedmot only the style of their wedding rin._g', but the nger on which it shall be worn, and so eapricionsly has custom altered that every single nger, inelrudiug the thmmh, has been used in turn.
