"You have heard," said the tobacco dealer, "of wooden nutmegsthose were the things that gave a" new fame to Connecticut but did you ever hear of tobacco made of wood? Such a to bacco was put out In cigarettes by an enterprising British firm last year. It was shredded pine wood, colored very artistically and saturated with certain drugs that gave It a taste resembling tobacco remotely," says the Philadel phia Iiecord. "The cigarettes' were chen p. and they bad a good sale among the young. The British firm's business Increased. A good number of mar chines for shredding wood were in stalled lu its factory, and the bunds worked overtime to supply the trade. Thou suddenly the law st( ppesf la. The firm was fined $1,000, and the manu facture of pine wood cigarettes came to a full stop. Here, as a curiosity, Is a wooden cigarette. One that I saved. It looks, you see, like the real thing. i guess, too, tnat it wouia taste as much like the real thlnjr as many of tbe cheap cigarettes that are oa the market." i Catalpa Wood For Ties. The demand, for railway tics will cause a demand, for some substitute for wood within the next few years unless some method be adopted which will replace the already depleted sup ply of timber suitable for this purpose. White ouk, the standard wood for ties. la too slow a grower and renews itself only.once in a. century. As early as 1818 General William Ilenry Harrison called attention to the catalpa tree of the Wabash valley as being of extreme durability. Various railroad men have since domonstrated the Entire suitabil ity of catalpa wood for ties. There Is great probability of the establishment of Catalpa plantations by some of the enterprising railroads of the country. It has been found that . with good treatment trees at twelve years will make one tie each. At twenty-five years of age the trees will yield twelve ties each, or over 2,000 an acre.

With those persons who lack perspec tive he has little patience. Last spring In one of his lectures at Cornell on "The Modern Regime" Pro- ' fessor .
