As the military forces of Russia

pear that something more than

would be required to
any nation of western Europe to
settle the eastern question without
first consulting the czar. This vast
army is raised throughout tho
empire, liability to be-
almost universal. As a rule
service with tho colors lasts five
years, and in the event of a
of the forces the field troops
would be brought up to war strength
by calling in reserves who had
served five years in the ranks. The
field troops and field reserve troops,
together numbering of
men, would formed into field
armies, which would each comprise
a number of army corps, rifle
and reserve divisions. The
remainder of the forces consist of
fortress and depot troops and
militia.

This of course has decreased to some
extent the demand for bright wrappers,
and secondly, the plug war that Las
been on now some lime between
the large plug manufacturers has cut
and slashed price the

the price of raw material has been
as they have had to resort lo a
common c wrapping stock.
This I will say herd is one of the
sons why the grades have held
up so well.
This cut rate war between
reduced the price of
plug tobacco on which our wrappers
are used mainly, to less than half the
price this tobacco sold for at wholesale
prices lour years ago. These two are
the principal causes, in my opinion, that
have led to the present prices of line

other minor ones, but it can be plainly
seen that this last one is sufficient
to cut our prices in half.

Now as to the First, after
striking bottom on low prices for the
plug tobacco it began lo go up
slowly, and already there is an
demand for good wrapping at
better prices than they have sold at for
at least a year. The muddle
has been settled and this year a new
administration comes in four years
and business will not again right away
come in contact with the politicians,
hence we can safely estimate that for at
least two years the commercial world
will have smooth sailing
Then the most important feature after
all is a growing disposition on the
of cur farmers to make better tobacco
and while we don't know tint prices

heights, yet if good tobacco is made this

It I. a Wonderful Achievement to Teach i
Tl to
The hearing child just learning to I
talk is quite unintelligible at first,
but gradually the organs learn their
lesson, and utterance grows distinct.
But the ear is the guide and critic of
these early attempts. The child,
however, hears no sound and sees
only tho slight movements of the
lips and tongue and can never learn
to speak by his own unaided
and imitation of those mo-
The teacher must furnish the
correction and training that tho ear
ordinarily supplies. The teaching
of speech to a totally deaf child who
has never spoken is truly a wonder-
achievement. He has no
of sound and can never have,
for the only sense by which he can
be taught the existence of such a
thing is that of touch, which simply
gives him a knowledge of tho mo-
that accompany sound, but are
no more tho sound itself than the
vibrations that produce heat are the
sensation call warmth.
To train the deaf child's organs to
take proper positions for tho
utterance of words as unconsciously
as those of n hearing person is a
very slow process. The develop-
of any set of reflex actions is
a laborious task even where mis-
takes can recognized and correct-
ed by tho learner himself. In this
case, however, the learner cannot
correct his own errors, but must
rely upon the alert car of his teacher
to keep him from acquiring a wrong
set of reflex actions and forming
habits that it will almost
to break up.
Side by with
comes of teaching language.
Imagine yourself in a country whoso
speech you did not know and whose
inhabitants did not understand
yours. Imagine, in addition, that
you were suddenly deprived of your
hearing. How well do you think
you would succeed in learning tho
