GERMAN "SMOKING MIXTURE.”
The votaries of my Lady Nicotine seem to be having a unhappy time in Germany. One of them -writes as follows: "The other day I ventured to make an analysis of three species of tobacco which had cost me from 16s to 25s per pound. I found them to consist, of cabbage leaves and stalks, egg shells, straw, scraps of Indiarubber, plaster of Paris, horsehair, string, felt, goose-pluckjngs,. and other indefinable substances. Of actual tobacco the mixture contained less than 1 per cent. If it be the object of the authorities to kill off the smokers among iGermaif' populations they can do no better than' to allow this filthy stuff to bft sold asl it is now as 'fragant war smoking mixture.”
