CUBA.S TOBACCO DECLOE.
Tobacco Raisins; Still a Great Industry, But
Conducted on a Decreasing Scale.
"Tobacco rauHg is yet one of the chief
sources of wealth in Cuba," eaid Senor
Don Nicholas Garrido, a rich land owner
and planter of the great Spanish colony,
while in this city a conple of days ago. "it
is not carried on npon as great a scale as
it used to be, however. For a long time it
was supposed that the celebrated Vuelta
Abajo region, which is situated between
the 22d and 23d degrees of longi
tude, was the only spot on earth
where the very best grade of tobacco
could grow, but lately there has been a
strong competition from different parts of
Spanish America, where just as good to
bacco as ours can be gathered, if properly
planted and cared for. Tho first condi
tion that has to ba fulfilled is that of
proper climate. Tobacoo thrives best in
the temperate climes, for its period of vege
tation last9 only three month;, and re
quires an average temperature of 76 de
grees during the development of the plant.
The Havana species, which is so
appreciated throughout the world,
is ko delicate that it perishes
whenever the temperature falls be
low GO degrees, which, however,
happens very rarely in Cuba. Tobacco
does not require much water, two or three
showers being quite sufficient for its
growth in Cuba; but, then, dew ia our
climate is quite copious, and the moisturo
is received by the leaves and runs along
them to the upper ring of roots. Be it on
account of the soil or climate conditions,
our tobacco is entirely different from that
of North Carolina, Virginia and Kentucky;
but I see that much of the weed sold here
tmder the name of Havana ib far from
being genuine, and in many instances the
tobacco is grown in this country or South
America." New York Star.

A Ktile in Grammar.
The grammarian may object that Bret
Ilnrte still places adverbs between the sign
of the infinitive and the verb. During the
negotiation of the Alabama treaty our
government telegraphed to .Washington
that this must not bo don. We had made
great concessions, but we could not con
cede "to faithfully maintain" in place of
"faithfully to maintain." Whether tho
phnu-c was of English or American ori
gin, it was altered by Mr. Fish and Lord
Grey and all was peac?. Bret Harte is not
go scrupulous on this point as Mr. Glad
stone's government was then, but inauy

And the poor little brain would swim.
And the face grew peaked and eerie.

As they watched in the silent room.

SMUGGLING QUININE.
A Young Physician's Perilous Ad
ventures. LONG IN 182-'G3-'04
the Confederate
Government had
lost many of its best
men through the
malarial influences
of the swamps and
low-lying country of
.the Mississippi and
the Arkansas rivers.
Quinine became ex
ceedingly valuable,
but as the blockade
of Southern ports
grew more and more intact it was next
to impossible to get any of the drug
through the lines. The demand be
came so great that orders were sent
ont to the different commands to se
lect from among their number a few
men of nerve, ingenuity, and patriot
ism to the Southern cause who could
be depended upon under the most crit
ical circumstances. These men were
to be instructed iu the hazardous du
ties of smuggling quinine, and were to
have the sanction of the Confederate
Government, and the protection, as far
as it could go, of the Confederate
army. They were to go into the Union
lines as refugees, or in anyway deemed
most advisable by them, and were to
purchase large quantities of the drug,
and use every means possible to get it
through.
Among the men selected for this
hazardous duty was a young student
of medicine, who has since that time
become prominent as one of the best
physicians of the country.
Dr. James Guthrie was born in Foca
houtas County, Virginia, now West
Virginia, and when the war broke out
enlisted in the Confederate army, final
ly in 18(52 becoming attached as an
assistant surgeon to General Kirby
Smith's army. When the order of the
War Department readied General
Smith's department one of the first
men selected for the hazardous tlut
was young Guthiie. then a mere loy of
twenty or tlierenliouts. He willingly
accepted the dangerous commission,
and set out for St. Louis. Mo., with
credentials hidden alKut las person.
When he reached St. Louis lie stowed
away in a safe place several thousand
dollars in gold with which lie had been
provided by the Confederate Govern
ment to purchase the drug. Days were
spent about the hospitals by the young
student and acquaintances made with
the officials, until after the lapse of a
few weeks he became to all intents and
appearance a regular ashistaut of the
surgeons.
No suspicion of the character of his
business was ever created, and it was
not long before young Guthrie was
able to go about the city purchasing j
medicines and drugs ostensibly for use j
at the hospitals where so many Union '
soldiers lay wounded and sick. Day I
after day the young man purchascd,first '
here and then there, at different dmg
stores, ounce after ounce of quinine
until after the lapse of several weeks
he had enough secured as he believed
to justifiy a trip into the Southern
lines. Meanwhile he had made the
acquaintance of a tinsmith of un
doubted Southern sympathy to whom
he imparted his secret. One night
this tinsmith and the young doctor col
lected all the quinine he had purchased
and sealed it up in long, hollow tubes
of tin. which were toldered perfectly
water-tight. These tubes, about four
inches iu diameter and three or four
feet long, were covered with the bark
of cottonwood limbs, and the ends
were concealed by short blocks of the
proper size, which were also covered
with bark, presenting the appearance
of pieces of wood of the ordiuary size.
So perfect was the work that a thou
sand men might have glanced at them
without the slightest suspicion of any
irregularity in their make-up. When
all was ready the young doctor bought
an old wagon with a pair of broken
down horses which the meanest-principled
Union or Confederate force
would never have dreamed of confis
cating, and then after clothing himself
in a suit of clothes bought at a second
hand store started out of the city.
Over one hundred miles was made,
with several narrow escapes, before the
doctor again neared the river with his
old team. For the last day or two the
scouts and videttes had seemed to be
unusually suspicions, and the young
doctor concluded to give away or sell
his team after gcini&g the river.
When he arrived upon the bank he
followed the road still down the stream
until he came to the house or dug-out
of a small farmer. Here he unloaded
his bark-covered tubes, and after tying
them together and attacking a bunch
of brush to them to make them look
like an ordinary bunch of drift he put
them in the river and let them float
off in the current, which they did, look
ing like a bunch of brnsh which had
floated from the shore. The old wagon
and horses were then driven to the
home of the farmer, traded off for a
beat nd pair of o.r, with thrc or

four days' provisions, and an old blan
ket thrown in as good measure.
The young smuggler floated and
rowed away night after night, some
times ahead and often behind the
bunch of brush which hid away the all
important tubes of quinine. In the
daytime, whenever near the lines or
outposts of the Union forces, ho would
remain hidden in sonio creek or small
Btream with his boat and bunch of
driftwood in close proximity.
After three nights' travel early one
morning, as he was quietly floating
and paddling along about one hundred
yards from tho shore, he was halted
"for the fifth or fcixth time and com
manded to land. Of course he did so,
expecting to find himself questioned
by a Union vidette. Meantime tho
quinine was calmly and smoothly float
ing along just ahead of him. lSut this
time the young doctor found himscli
confronted with a sqnad of Co-.feder-ate
cavalry, an outpost of General Jo
seph Shelby's brigade. The Captain
in charge closely questioned him as to
his business and where he .was going,
and not perfectly satisfied with hi.i
answers, ordered him to mount a horse
and ride to camp, about one mile be
low. Young Guthrie knew that if he
was taken into a Confederate camp,
which was located below where he had
been arrested, his quinine was safe and
he quietly mounted, determined, how
over, not to give a hint of his real busi
ness until he was sure that he was with
friends.
The squad and their prisoner soon
reached the headquarters of the
colonel commanding, when the prison
er was turned over to the commanding
officer. When the young smuggler
found that he was really with friends
he produced his credentials and told
the commander the secret of his busi
ness. A boat, or rather two or three
skiffs and small punts, were soon found,
aud the young fellow, accompanied by
several soldiers, paddled along shore
up-stream until they met the little
bunch of driftwood. They soon towed
it ashore at the camp, where the long
tiu tubes with their bark covering were
taken out of tho water. Tho quinine
was found in perfect condition, aud was
immediately forwarded under a guard
to the nearest large post.
Young Guthrie was gived a letter
vouching for the safe arrival of a large
supply of the great drug. He was
sent to General Smith's command,
where, after a high compliment for his
courage and ingenuity, he was well
paid and recommended to undertake
another trial of the same sort. Five
times he succeeded in getting through
the lines with large quantities of qui
nine, but the sixth time he was cap
tured and sent to prison at Fort Dela
ware where he remained until the war
was over.
Dr. Guthrie is to-day one of tho
most popular and eminent physicians
in this country, with an immense prac
tice, but seldom too busy to tell some
interesting story or reminiscences of
the times which tested the nerve and
ingenuity of the bravest.
Plucking and Shearing Geese.
A curious case, camo before an En
glish court for adjudication recently.
A poulterer was charged with cruelty
to forty-eight live geese by plucking
them of their feathers, and the owner
was charged with procuring the com
mission of tho offense. Tho proceed
ings were taken by the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. A
witness swore that "after the geese
were plucked their skins turned a pur
ple color, and they seemed to be in
pain. They walked alniut with their
backs up. and shrank when touched."
The practice was shown by defend
ants to be very prevalent, aud the so
ciety asked for a nominal tine to put a
stop to it. The defendants said it was
the custom of the district to pluck the
feathers every six weeks, and if they
were stopped from doing to many peo
ple would discontinue keeping geese,
as much more money was realized by
the sale of feathers than by tlio geese.
The court imposed a tine of eighteen
shillings upon the defendants, and ex
pressed the hope that it would bo a
warning to other people. Plucking
live geese and ducks prevails all over
the United States.
There is a species of large water
fowl whose habitat in winter is the
open lakes of the interior, and their
feathers arc so firmly set that they can
not be plucked. Shearing is resorted
to. and many housewives have beds
made of the feathers, which almost
equal those of eider down, ns the stiff,
troublesome quills are absent. Shear
ing geese and ducks could be made to
supersede plucking. Amer lean Agri
culturist. How Base-Balls Are Made.
Automatic machines for making base
balls have been so successfully con
trived that their introduction is likely
to constitute a practical industry.
Each machine winds two balls at one
time, in the following way :
"A little para-rubber ball, weighing
three-quarters of an ounce, around
which one turn has been made with the
end of a skein of an old-fashioned gray
stocking yarn, is slipped into the ma
chine, then another, after which the
boy in charge touches a lever, the
machine starts and the winding begins.
The rubber ball is thus hidden in a few
seconds, and in its place appears a
little gray yarn ball that rapidly grows
larger and larger.
When it appears to be about half the
size of the regulation base-ball there
is a click, the machine stops, the yarn
is cut, the boy picks out the ball and
tosses it into the basket. When this
basket is full it is passed along to an
other boy, who runs a similar machine,
where ahalf-ounce layer of worsted
yarn is put on.
The next machine adds a strong
white cotton thread; a coating of rub
ber cement is next applied and a half
ounce layer of the very best fine
worsted completes the ball with the
exception of the cover." Commercial

Carelessness.
Evil is wrought by lack of thought
As well as lack of heart,"
which is another way of saying that
carelessness is selfishness, and may re
sult in as dire a mishap as if premedi
tated and prompted by malice.
Some one uses, leaves on the spot and
forgets where, the clothes-brush,shovel,

What caused that long, lacerated
scratch on. that woman's hand? Some
girl or woman left a pin in tho under
clothing which she sent to the wash,
and that ugly-looking scratch on the
laundress's hand wa-j the result. To use
a pin in clothing where a button or
string should be indicates untidy habits,
but to leave the pin where it may do
other persons damage indicates some
thing worse.
To leave bottles of poison unlabelled,
or within reach of a child, may lead to
fatal consequences and a lifelong re
morse. A mother was one day using
carbolic acid, and left the bottle con
taining it on a chair for a few minutes
while attending to some other duty.
Two-year-old Teddy seized upon it.and,
.with the inquisitiveuess of childhood,
put it to his lips, and swallowed enough

A tack, pointed end up, or a rusty
nail protruding from a board, is left
where some one steps on it. Lockjaw
has resulted in such a case.
In the house where a friend was stay
ing, some one left a tin box of tacks on
the stairs. In descending, she unwit
tingly placed her foot on the treacher
ous box, fell headlong, and broke her
arm.
"Oh, I'm sorry!" said the guilty one,
penitently. "I meant to take those
tacks away."
An elderly woman in Boston caught
her foot in a loose strip of carpeting at
the head of a flight of stairs, and fell to
the bottom. Fortunately no bones
were broken, but she was sadly bruised
and lamed.
"Oh, I meant to re-tack that piece of
carpet!" said the contrite housekeeper.
Stepping on a lady's dress is an in
frequent accident nowadays, but it does
sometimes happen, and to be suddenly
checked in that way puts a person at
heavy and unexpected disadvantage. A
teacher in a seminary near Boston, de
pendent upon her own exertions for sup
port, was stepping from the cars ut the
railway station ; there was no crowd and
no particular haste, but some blunderer
put his foot on her dress skirt. She
lost her balance, tried to recover her
self, foil backward, and struck her back
upon the car step3. Spinal concussion
resulted, and the unfortunate teacher
has been confined to her room for two
years.

He IHdn't Hear Jenny l.ind.
"Did j'ou ever hear Jenny Lind?"
said J. C. Stewart, of the Fat Men's
Club, the other day. "No, but I'll tell
you how near I came to hearing her.
You probably don't remember when the
Swedish songstress came to America,
under tho management of P. T. Bar
niini, but I don't- think I'll ever forget
it. It was a good many yearsago, and I
was a boy, a pretty good-sized one knock
ing around New York city. The night of
Jenny Lind's concert came, and I was
crazy to hear her; but T didn't have auy
money, and thero I was. I hung around
the door of the theater after the concert
had begun. By-aud-by several gentle
men came out bareheaded. 1 was will
ing to adopt any means to get inside, so
I went up to one of those who had just
come out. and said :
' " 'Say, Mister, let me have your check
sol can get in aud hear Jenny Lind
sing.'
" 'Why, they're not giving out checks,
my boy,' he replied. 'When one gets
inside lie checks his hat. and if he wants
to go out between times he goes bare
headed, and when ho goes back the ab
sence of his hat indicates that he has
been inside.'
"Well, a bright idoa struck ine at
least I thought it was a bright idea.
So I quietly went up to the entrance
and, unseen, took off my hat and
pushed it up under my vest. Then,
putting on a bold face, I walked into
the theater without being molested. I
sat down in a vacant chair and waited
for Jenny Lind. Presently a big, heavj
set fellow came and sat down bosidc me.
He made some ordinary remark, and
then said :
" 'Saj! These people think they're
pretty smooth here, and that no one can
get iu without paying, but I fooled 'em.

Taught Everything hut Whal They
Want.
Hitherto our higher institutions of
learning have neglected almost wholly
to instruct the young men in the prin
ciples of the government aud iu the
duties which are to devolve upon them
as citizens. They arc taught a great
deal about the properties of matter,
but very little about the passions of
men; much about the perturbations of
the planets, but very little about the
interaction of parties; much about the
constitution of the solar system, bnt
very little about the constitution of the
United States: much about the laws of
the universe, but very little about the
laws of the land: much about universal
gravitation, but very little about uni
versal suffrage: much about the Grecian
democracies and the Koman lepublic,
but next to nothing at all about the
republic to which they themselves be
long. Indeed, so far is the teaching of
our colleges at present from beiiif;
suited to prepare young men for thr
proper discharge of what under out
constitution is really the most important
duty before them iu life, that it almost
j-eenis to have been purposely planned
to evade that object.
An Indian I'lot.
Bnshyhead, the Cherokee chief, has
been in Washington this winter and was
one day met on tie street by an old
acquaintance, says a correspondent of
the Critic.
-Look here, Bushyhead," said this
acquaintance, "I'm afraid you are up to
some mischief. Why are you staying in
Washington so long?"
"I am here for my people," replied
Bushyhead.
"What aie vou doing for vour peo
pie?"
The old chief drew his frieud aside
and, affecting secrecy, said: "I am
lobbying for Senator Morgan's scheme
to send the negroes back to Africa."
"What have vour people to do with
that?"
"Why," said Bushyhead, "when we
have succeeded in deporting the negroes
then we vi!' introduce a bi 1 to deport
the white i e le. That will put the
country in tbe hand of iU rightful
Supremely E-eiightful
To the emaciated and debilitated invalid ia ttw
sense of returning health and strength produced
oy Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. When that
promoter of vigor is tested by persons in feeble
health, its restorative and vitalizing potency
soon evinces itself in improved appetite, diges
tion and nightly repose, the sole conditions
under which strength and nerve quietude are
vouchsafed to tho human system. A gain in
flesh of coarse ensues upon the restoration or
digestion and assimilation. As surely as win
ter follows the fall of the leaf does disease
shadow the footsteps of declining strength, when
the premature decadence of vitality Is not ar
rested. Marasmus, consumption and other
wasting maladies are prompt to fasten upon the
enfeebled. Avert disease, therefore, with this
grand enabling tonie, which not only renews
failing strength but mitigates and counteracts
the infirmities of age and those of the gentler
sex. nheuiuatism, malaria, liver and kidney
troubles yield to it.
Photography in Colors.
Fuller reports from Klausenberg in Aus
tralia, where a photographer named Ve
resa, nearly a mouth ago, hit upon a dis
covery of photography in colors, show the
event to be more important and defi
nite than it vras at first thought. Speci
mens, both on glass and on paper, have
now been exposed to tho light for thieo
weeks and are in no way affected. The
colors obtained range from a deep, clear
ruby red to a light orange, and there is
also a brilliant French blue, but tbns far
no suggestion whatever of jyeen, no varia
tions of blue and no approaches to violet
or brown.

Discovery or a Prehistoric Village.
The site of a prehistoric village has been
discovered on the banks of the Ohio river,
near Tarkersburg, W. Va. It covers about
four aeros and tho earth is thickly inter
mixed with fraRments of pottery, streaks
of ashes, and fragments of bones of ani
mals and human beings. In several places
ate to be seen the ruins of what seem to be
ancient fire-places, containing charcoal
intermixed with haired nuts of various
sorts. In and around these fire-places are
found ornaments and implements, such
as battle-axes, knives, drills, spears and
arrow points, and ornaments made of bones
and slate.

You Need It Now
To impart Mrecsth and to sire a feeling ot lealth
and vigor throughout the system, there is nothing
equal to Hood's Sarsaparilla. It seems peculiarly
adapted to overcome that tired f feline caused by
change of season, climate or life, and while it
tones and sustains the system it purines and reno
vates the blood. We earnestly uree the large army
of clerks. lookkeepers. school teachers, housewives,
operatives and all others who hae been closely
confined during the winter, and who need a good
tprinK medicine, to try Hood's Sarsaparilla now.
It will do you good.
"Every spring foryears I have made it a practice
to take from three to five bottles of Hood's Sar
saparilla. because I know it purifies the blood and
thoroughly cleanses the system of all Impurities.
That languid feeling, sometimes called '6pring
fever," wiU nevr visit the system that has been
properly cared for by this never-failing remedy."

Sairidc in Japan.
According to a recent Japanese return it
appears that the great majority of persons
committing suicide in Japan aie over o0
years of age. Next on the list come per
sons between 20 and 3J years of age. Ot
these the great rr number turn their backs
on the world in consequence of disap
pointed love. For snicides of all nj.es
July is the favorite month. During the
period of six years, from 1883 to 1888 in
clusive, the number of suicides in the
month of July ranged from 500 to SCO.
while the number during the remainder of
the year averaged from 200 to 300 only.
Wilkie Collins' Favorite otcHsI.
It has several times been stated in the
papers lately that Fenimoro Cooper was
"Ihe favoiiti novelist" of Wilkie Collins.
This is quite untrue, for his favorite was
Scott, whom Lo took every opportunity of
declaring to havj been tho greatest novel
ist that ever lived, and even in popularity
he placed Dickons second to the author of
" Vaverly. Next to Scolt, but at a con
siderable distance behind him, Dumas pere
and Balzac ocenpiei high places in Wilkie
Collins' estimation.
GORMANDIZING,
or overeating, or the partaking of too rich and indigestible food,
is a common cause of discomfort and suffering. To relievo tho
stomach and bowels from such overloading, a full dose of Dr.
Pierce's Purgative Pellets is the best remedy. They operate gently,
yet thoroughly and without griping, nausea, or other unpleasant
effects.
If the too free indulgence in such intemperate eating has deranged
digestion, causing dyspepsia and biliousness, attended with a eense of
fullness or bloating "after eating, coated tongue, bitter or bad taste in
mouth in morning, on arising, drowsiness after meals, indescribable feel
ing of dread, or" of impending calamity ami hypochondria then you
need to follow up the use of the Pellets with T)r. Pierce's Golden Med
ical Discovery, to tone up the stomach, invigorate the liver, and set all
the processes "of digestion at work. "While curing indigestion, it purifies
the blood, cleansing the system from all humors and blood-poisons no
matter of what name or nature, or from what cause arising. Unlike
other blood-purifiers, it operates equally well at any season of the year.
It contains no alcohol to inebriate ; no syrup or sugar to ferment in the
stomach and derange digestion. On the contrary, it retards fermenta
tion and promotes all the digestive and assimilative processes. It is as
wonderful and peculiar in curative results as in its chemical composition.
There is nothing similar to it in composition or approaching it in results.
Therefore, don't be duped and induced to take some substitute, said to
be "just as good," that the dealer may make a larger profit.
