NYbatover rntiy be said of the ilii.itlva'i
taCH of Kevurutncut motiepolicH, tliure Is
no doubt, that, from tlie commencement
of HiIh centnty, every biicccsrIve Kovorn Kevorn Kovern
nieiit In France ban derived an Immonse
profit from tlie sale of tobacco. Hofero
Napeleon I hud perceived the bencllt te be
securcd by the tobacco monopoly, tobacco
was very moderatuly used by the pcotile
generally, but from the revolullen of 80
iUt consumption became tnore general, and
luut Increased evor eltica. Tlius in 1870 the
tmblie fund derived from the mile of to
bacco wan no Ices than 15,000,000, and In
1882 It bad been raiMid te 5 1,000,000, tbe
licensed tobacconists en thelr side ruapluf;
a profit of $0,700,000.
It scorns rather btrange that tlie govern gevern govern
metit, ltmtead of Impreviu;; tbe tuauufao tuauufae tuauufao
tttreof an nrtlole from which It dntlven
fitiali extensive advantage, Rhutild very
frciittently Impose- en the public very in
forler qualities of tobacco. Ne competi
tion belnji allowed, and the statu bclt'H
Koverelgti, It can at will oblige the Ftoneli
te Btneke oxcctable stuff at a high price
which Is often the cane. Anyhow, tbe
monopoly has hitherto brought te the eef eof oef
fern of the government a sum el llttloevor
ene million of dollars. The Hale and din
trlbutlen of tobacco is thus arranged :
Kaeh district baa certalu number of
bureaux de tabae, or tobacco stores wliich
nre of cottrse in the gift of the statu, and
hauded ever te persons mere or less de
serving of the favor. Qovernmeut ellluials
call every week ou the dubitants, and
supply them in exchange for ready money ;
under heavy penalties tlie tobacconists ean
only hell the tobacco brought from the
Itcgie : they have a reasonable percentage
aud even in tbe least lmpei taut bureaux tlie
profits invariably reach four pur cent.
Tliere aie seme bureaux du tabau in I'.tris
aud the large towns wbicl. realizu the total
profit of $5,000 a yesr, but thesa are gen
erally in the gilt of seme grand lady, the
sister of a geuural or a hili functionary,
who runts tliem at a low rate aud retains
the surplus for herself.
Heme Imlde facts ler Smoker
The most popular tobacco in France,
called Uaperal, is home grown. Only one
kind of feieign tobacco Maryland is
dealt in. Twe varieties are oxteusivoly
cultivated in the north, aud especially in
the environs of Teuniurs oue a species of
the Brazilian aud another of the .Mexican,
plant. The gatheiing of tobacco generally
takes place in August, v-hcu it is bunt te
Paris, aud fiem thence te tbe fcuvcutcen
mauufacteiies of the state, the chid el
thorn being established iu the capital,
Herdcaux, Havre, Lille, Lyens, Martelllus
and Nautcs. The French government
also Imports te a large oxteut Havana
leaves, which are made into cigars iu
French manufaoteties, but no Havana
made cigcrs uati be procured from the
Regie.
Flanders. 11 illaud. Uelgium and the
Palatinate also contribute their share el
leaves for the special niauulaeturu of a
rough and cheap kind of tobacco called
taoae de eanttuu, exclusively reserveu ler
the use el the army aud navy. Caporal
the natural tobacco, was sold tu 1831 at$l
a pound, but it was risen te $1.20 last
year, ami ou this sum the government
makes a elean profit el 200 per ceut. The
personnel of the manufactories is com
posed for the most part of women. The
instruments used te out tbe leaf are very
defective. Hut the manipulation of
tobacco is preferable te the fabrication of
cigars.
Although the latter is simple enough,
and consists in rolling the leaves length
wise and (.ticking them afterward, the
upetatien demauds intlutte skill and deli
cacy of hand, in Older te give the cigar a
certain consistency, aud net te piess the
leaves together se as te render it uusmoka uusmeka uusmoka
ble, nud tbe workmen of the Froneh
manufactories are farlrem beiug se smart
as the eigarullas of Havana aud Seville.
The reuult is that even cigars made of
telerable Havana leaves are of very inferior
quality, aud it Is fortunate for a smoker
when he Units nine or ten geed eues iu a
box.
The dofeetivo Havana costs six cents.
Frenchmen, being all but unaccustomed te
tlie taste of foreigu tobaccos and bcaioely
kuewing what a geed cigar is, de uet
complain. The popular brand the dem
ocratic elgar par excelleuce is the oue
eeut petit Herdcaux, mere vulgarly de
nominated Lentadus. This ene cent cigar
Is the least poisonous given tertli by the
Itcgie, and is exclusively manufactured by
tbe Berdeaux establishment. It is the
selace of peer students aud unthrifty
Hohemiaua of the Quartier Latin ; but te
a furoiguer tills much pn.ed cigar seems
simply execrable. The one cunt cigar has
become se much of a national institution
that few Freuchnieti ceald be peisttadud
that it Is net prolerublu te tlie most mi
grant Yicteriu3.
The Loutades is made of Fienuh tobacco
leaves. The twecaut eigav is made of
Marvlaud tobacco, nud la tliu worst of all.
Manillas of most inferior quality are te be
procured for three cents and the Hugiu
gives you for four cents a Spanish cigar
called Trabuces, which is tolerable at
times. The government is very vigilant
in the dofutise of its monopoly j uovcrthe.
Iu the department du Nerd, 40,000 stalks

plain bitterly of this rule, for thore Is
really no ascertainable motlve for its

New, te the question : Is life worth liv
ing ? it would be Impossible te glve an
answer that would suit all. Probably
thore have net beeii two human beingB
nluce the world was made who, could they
express their prcclse opinion en thta point,
would give prcclfely the same answer.
Many whose whele lives have been full of
sorrow aud trouble, who have hud occa
sion many times te say that man was
burn te fortew, would yet, oveu taking
Bttrvey of thelr Bad Uvcb, Bay llle is
sweet. That many whose lives have
been bitter enough think yet that It
Is sweet is shown by this, that among
them have becu found thoee who have
dene most te fester the lives of ethers.
Hut many of them would say that life is
sweet speaking even from their oxperlence
of life. Aud ou the ether hand many who
arc held by theso around thorn te have
had little sorrow, who from childhood te
old age have scarce evor known pain or
suffering, who have had mero than thelr
fill of the pleasures of life and have es
caped the usual share of life's afliictlens,
would fipeak of life as dull and dreary if
net bitter. It has been indecd from sueh
men that the doubting cry has corae, " Is
life worth living r Meu of mero varied
experience would give ether answers te
that vain question. All answers, iudced,
tnuRt be as idle as the question itself . Yet
most meu would give the answer which
says most for the pleasantness of life
that, as a whele. life is noither bitter nor
sweet, neither sharp nor cloying, but that
it "has all the charm in bitter sweetness
found."
We are net oaueornod, howevor, te in in
riuire what is the true answer te the ques
tien, Is life worth living ? Though it is
clear that if life is net worth livintr, the
ebEctved action of evolution has been uu uu uu
fortuuate, aud the tesulting laws of con
duct are a mistake, whiie the roverso must
be held if en the whole life is well worth
living, yet, se laras our subject of inquiry
Is concerned, it matters net which view
we take. Thai which is common te both
views is all we have te consider. The man
who holds that life is worth llvitig.se thiuk
because he bolleves that the pleasures of
life ou the wnole outweigh its pains and
sorrows. Se much is true indopeudontly
of ail ideas as te what are the real plea
tires or the real paius of life, or whether
life here is most te be oetisidered or chicily
a future life with pleavure or paius far
greater iu intensity aud iu duration thau
any kuewu heie.

In the east of France. Te a certain ox ex ox

does net uie the tobacco iu its powdered

The saie of ordinary tobaeco is, howevor,
enormous. Ou an average it amounts te

much higher, tlie Pas de Calais Nerd,
Bomme ami ethor places absorb the great

moderatuly, the Seuth laruely, but far
less than the North.
As te auull, thore Is no rule of classifica

conspiring with ethers te defraud her.
The mother of Mrs. Jonteuor died a short
time sluce and Mrs. .Tonteuor bolleves bhe

found. Mrs Jonteuor confided in a Mrs.
Wober aud premised her $200 if Bhe
would find tue money. Mrs. 'Wober con cen
Miltcda wizard, who agreed te find the
concealed wealth by his mystle pewer.
He was te call up the spirit of Mrs.
Jenteuer'H mother, who would bring the
money. At midnight, last Monday", ac
cording te uppoiutnieut, Mrs. Jenteuer
aud her husband went te an old oak troe
in a clump of weeds ou the outskirts of the
city, where they were met by the wizard.
After seme conjuring words the wizard
called up the alleged spirit, aud a ghostly
form robed iu black, with n white veil
ever its head, nppeared from the dark
shadows behind the trce. It reached out
a tin box which the wizard took en his
bunded knoes, aud, giving it te Mrs. Junte
ner, said : " Your mouey is in this box,
but you must net open it till you get
home."
The ghost disappeared, and the trem

Correspondents ask whother Americau
railroads have uet reached at last their
bottom price, nud whether it in net time
te buy them, Thore is ue time at which
sueh a purchase is a wlse one. Railroads
in America are net made for the benefit of
shareholders, but iu order te enable di
rectors aud ethors te plunder shareholders.
Railroads are built aud equipped out of
tliu money ebtaiued by the sale of bends.
The shares nre merely ceuuters invented
fur purposes of cambliug. Eaeh railroad
is iu the bauds of seme railroad king. By
nrraugemeuts Uetweeu thomselves as.
te trallle, &a., these kings can raise
or dupruoiate the shares of any
particular railroad. Sometimes they quar
rel, when the stoek exchange becomes
their battle ground ; but, as a rule, they
find it mero remunerative te comhiue
against the public. This Is hew the enor
mous feituues have been made, which
threw into bhade theso of European mil
lionaires. An American railroad kiug has
very likely his own oedo of honor, but it
is a pecuiiar oue. lie considers mat no
has a porfeet right te make money out of
Ids host friend, aud if he can de he by
betrayiug him, this Increases his pleasure
If any ene were te pretost against this
view of othies, the kiug would reply that
the game of speculation has its rules, and
that like, like brag or poker, its osseuoo
is te deoeive friend or feo. Hew, thou,

likely te get the better of these astute and
