Of course a. smaller quantity can be made if desired, pre- serving these proportions.

The bride's ve-l originated in the Anglo- Saxon custom of performing the marriage ceremony under a square piece of cloth, held at each corner by a tall man, over the bridegrmm and bride, to conceal her blushes. The veil was not used at the mar- riage of widows. Twenty five years ago people would have though: a woman crazy it she had pmw Japanese fans on her wa 13, or filleu vases With cat's tall! and grasses, or set ginger jars in plaus ol honor.

Let them lie in cold water with a. good sprink- ling of salt in it for half an hour. Drain them well, and fry them in a deep frying pan, with a good deal of very hot lard in it. They will cook immediately, and be crisp and excellent. A famous hwyer used to say that a we man who couli boil potatoes and melt but ter well was a. good cook, and he nevsr re quired any other proof of her capabilities Take a vessel that will hold exactly 100 pound of pure water, and fill it with pure unvlk of average quality. and the weight will be found to be snout 103 pounds.

Tobacco was in'roduced into Europe from the Province of Tabaca in St. Domingo in 1559, by a Spmish Gentleman. named Her- nandez de Toledo, wto br0ught a small quantity into Spain and Portugal. From thence, by means of the French Ambassador at Lisbon, Jean Nicot from whom it derived its name of Nicotia, (whence we have the word nicotine), it found its way to Paris, where it was used in the form of powder by Catharine de Medici. Tobacco then came under the patronage of the Cardinal Santa Croce, the Pope's nuncio, who return‘ ing from his embassy at the Spanish and Portuguese courts, carried the plant to his own country, and thus acquired a lame little inferior to that which, at another period, he had won by piously bringing a portion of the real cross from the Holy Land. Both in France and the Papal States it was at once received with general enthusiam, in the shape of snuff; but it was some time after the use of tobacco as snufl' that the practice is generally supposed to have been intro- duced into England by Sir \Valter Raleigh ; but Camden says, in his “Elizabeth,” that Sir Francis Drake and his companions, on their return from Virginia in 1585. were "the first, as far as he knew, who introduc- ed the Indian plant, called the Tahacca or Nicotia, into England, having been taught by the Indians to use it as a remedy against indigestion. And from the time of their return," says he, “it immediately began to grow into very general use, and to bear a high, price ; a great many persons some from luxury, and others for their health, beina wont to draw in the strong smelling smoke with insatiable greedinets through an earth- enware tube, and then to stufi it forth again through their nostrils ; so that tabacca-tav- erns (tabernar tabaccamr) are now as gener- ally kept in all our towns, as wine-houses or beer-houses." Its principal opponents were the priests, the phy sicians, and the sovereign princes ; by tne former its use was declared sinful ; and. 1684, Pope Urban VIII. published a bull, excommunicating all persons found guilty of taking snufl‘ when in church. This hull was renewed in 1690, by Pops Inno- cent; and, about twenty-nine years after- wards, the Sultan Amurath lV. made smok- ing a capital offence. For a long time smoking was f( rbidden in Russia, under pain of havrng the nose cut OE; and in some parts of Switz rland, it was likewise made a subject of public prosecutionâ€"the p .lice regulations of the Canton of Berne, in 1661, placing the prohibition of smooking in the liot of the Tm Commandments, immediate- ly under that against adultery. Coll shoull be sprinkled as it is put into the cellar, to avold as much dirt; as pos- sible. The quickest time yet recorded as having been made by an ocean steamer is that made by the steamer Oregon from Queenstown to New York. The time was six days, ten hours and thirty seconds. This is quick work, but no doubt the time will come when the trip from shore to shore will be made in three or four days. Speed is not as import- ant a. consideration as safety, but in these days, when the object is to do everythirg in the shortest time possible, speed counts for a great deal with business men. Thole is another class with whom speed is a con- sideration, namely. those who are subjected to sea-sickness. If the ocean voyage could be made in three or four days the number of peogle who would cross the omao would be largely increased. No doubt before long ocean steamers Will adopt electricity as their motive power and then people will be carried acrcsa the ocean with a. rush. Early Days of Tobacco.

The requ :1 comes from New York. It appears tnat early in the season she called upon Mr. Augustus Pitou, the manager of the Fifth Avenue Theatre, and asked for an enzage- ment, remarking that the success Mrs.Llng- try had made on the stage had tempted he: to adopt the theatrical profession.
