When the conversation fell upon

wreck in the wintry sea, the man
from a far northern British province
was moved, says the New York Sun,
to tell the story of his piano tuner.
The piano tuner earns his bread by

one deck had noticed my

the waves of the Atlantic. You
may not believe me, but I did not
feel greatly alarmed. I managed to
get out of my boots and coat, and
then T began to swim to keep myself
afloat. Somehow I felt that I should
be saved. We had passed a vessel
about sunset, and thought she'd

that other vessel did come along and

The Treasury is to-day in bet-
condition than it has been at
any time since the present
came power. For
some time there has been a steady
increase in receipts, both from
customs and revenue, and
they are expected to continue to
increase light along Not the
least gratifying thing about the
situation is that it is now certain
that no extra session of Congress
will have to be called, even if the
Supreme Court decides against
income tax, unless something
now entirely unexpected shall
mane it The Treasury
will have ample money to pay all
claims, and the arrangement made
with the syndicate which bought
the last issue of bonds has so far
worked like a charm in keeping
the gold in the Treasury.

several causes for this disease,
few of which can be remedied
under any circumstances. The
main c use, however, is in the
way the guano is used on the
land. To prevent specks from
appearing on the leaf, however
poor the land, not more than
one hundred pounds of guano
should be used to the
hills, or four hundred pounds
to the acre. This should be
drilled in the furrow, when
dropped in the hill a less
amount should be used On
strong land ninety pounds is
sufficient. Too much manure
will make it speck, or in
a wet or dry season.
There is what we call the
weather which can
be avoided only by thoroughly
draining the land. As a proof
of weather notice
that this is first seen in springy
places, or near where water
stands. In these wet places it

corn so that the water will sink
to middle of row.
Now, it is to sup
pose that breaking up the roots
in plowing is against nature and
will not only check growth in
tobacco but in any plant. So
with each plowing get a . little
further from it so as not to tear
up the roots as make their
way to middle of row. By so
doing not only specks or
but burning, or firing, at bottom
of plant will frequently be
vented. C. M. Billings.

The cool nights that we are

We hear that in some sections
of the county the young tobacco
plants seem to be f on the

We sincerely hope to see a
smoking tobacco factory in

ville could support one better
any town we know of.
Every farmer should constitute
his farm an experiment station of
which he is the director. By
this the highest attainments of
agriculture can easily to reached.
Some of the most successful
tobacco growers that we have
and those after whom it is well to
pattern agree that a thorough

Would it not be a profitable in-
vestment for some of our mer-
chants to build a smoking

small scale and if the trial proves

requirements of the trade.
In these times of low prices
and small profits, it requires the
most careful thought and
to make much money on a
farm and unless system and
is exercised
the debit side of the P. and L-
account will be the larger.
We have frequently been asked

Did yon ever think of it how
many millions are fed and cloth-
ed and how many have the
of life provided them out of
the one commodity, tobacco, and
yet it is not a necessity but
rated with the luxuries- At any rate
the English people think so when
they have to pay out a dollar a
pound for all they use.
Just at this time farmers cannot
give too much thought and
to a thorough preparation of
their tobacco land. If the land is
thoroughly pulverized young
toots of the tobacco have no
trouble in penetrating the soil and
getting the full of all ma
can--, then again they will grow
to a much greater depth in search

production of a fine crop. Good
tobacco never goes begging even
at stiff prices while it is a hard
matter to cell common tobacco at
any price.

A UNIQUE WEDDING.
The Justice Married Hi Couple In
the Dark.
A marriage in inky darkness
of a vault is something decidedly
unique, but that is the sort of a
wedding that occurred in the court-
house recently, says the Kansas City
Times.
About eleven o'clock a fine-looking
young man and two decidedly good-
looking and stylishly-dressed young
women entered the recorder of
office and asked for a marriage
and one was issued to
Dray and Viola Roderick. They
said the marriage was to be a
prise, and requested that nothing be
said about the granting of the
Then they consulted
and finally asked if they could be
married right there. Recorder
hastened to and
called up Justice Before the
justice arrived word had passed
around that a was to occur,
and the room was tilled with
guests. The groom did not
relish this, neither did the bride,
neither did the bride's sister, who
was of the party. The door to the
large vault where the records are
kept stood invitingly open, and the
groom
step in and the
party entered the vault. It was
brilliantly lighted and filled with the
dull of musty records. The
bride glanced about, frightened a
bit, but then looked at the
groom and smiled sweetly. The
groom, evidently a brave man, was
not as nervous as the justice, who
fumbled to get from his pocket a
paper upon which he had written the
words of a simple marriage
The door was shut softly be-
hind the party, and the wedding was
screened from curious eyes.
The justice was get ting along fair-
well, and had just reached that
part in the ceremony where he
asked the couple to join hands,
when something happened. One of
the clerks had to the switch-
board and turned oil the lights in
the vault. Everything was as
black as darkest midnight. The
bride and groom could not see each
other. The justice could not see
them. It was no time to stop or
falter, however.

type whose blood flies to the

The other was as the placid
ocean; profound, solemn, silent,
lowing deep far out from shore and
coming in upon the silver sands as
noiseless as the dew falls upon the
flowers at night.
They were talking about men and
their ways, a subject of unceasing

He Balked the Experiment
The late Prof. was very fond
of animals. Some years ago one of
his fellow professors undertook some
experiments to ascertain the loss of
weight in cases of starvation, using
for the purpose a lot of rabbits. The
subjects of the experiments were
weighed every day, but, to the
astonishment, they gained
flesh instead of losing it. It was
some time before he found out that
