But as mentioned previously bis efforts were of no avail, and probably nowhere else is more tobacco smoked than in Persia. Smoking: in those far off days had become a pleasure with many men, but great as this pleasure must have been it could not be comparab'e witb the fragrant delight that the modern smoker can secure from a tobacco like Dill's Best for instance.—(Ad.)
