The curious habit so common in America of popping an unlighted ■cigar in the “mouth” and-chewing an incli or two of it to pulp, is not popular with os, although the chewing of black plug tobacco is common cough amongst sailors every where. However, with the rank and file of Englishmen, “the pipe’s the tiling,” and a soiirce of enjoyment, daily, to millions. But discrimination should be exercised iri the choice of tobacco. Brands full of nicotine (as the American tobaccos usually' are), ought to be cut out, because nicotine is the source of all the mischief when tobacco proves injurious.
