PERIQUE TOBACCO.
The BMHn to, fu Peculiar Plaror and
ill. Method of Curing.
In the com of perfque tobacco the
stripping of tho midrib from the leaf
causes ti:u leaf to fall Into two lateral
halves, which are placed on top of each
other iu such a manner that the blade of
one half of the leaf alternates with the
apex of the other. These are then
twisted into what are called “torquets."
These torquets are folded upon them
selves, side by side, and are placed in
strong boxes, which are about twelve
inches square, and subjected to pressure.
After twenty-four hours these torquets
are taken out and repacked in the same
manner as before every twenty-four
hours for a period of a week, the idea
being evidently to subject the torquets
to a uniform pressure throughout After
this period has elapsed these torquets am
repacked every three days for ubout two
weeks. During all this time the tobacco
is subjected to a constant, steady pres
sure with a press of the most primitive
kind.
I should not forget to state that after
the tobacco has been placed in the press
»,ne week a black juice flows out of the
box, which has a pleasant odor, not un
like freshly cooked prunes. Square
jiieces of eottonade, 18 by 18 inches, art
laid out. and on these the torquets are
opened, or, to use the term of the Eng
lish speaking Arcadians, the torquets
are unraveled, great care being lieces
sary to separate each leaf.
The largest leaves are laid upon the
eottonade tirst. so that when rolled the
largest leaves will serve as a covering of
the carrotte presently to be described.
The smaller leaves are placed longitudi
nally upon the larger ones until three
and one-half to four pounds are placed
upon the piece of eottonade, the euds of
which are turned inwardly. The cot-
tonade and contents are now rolled into
carrottes, the ends of the eottonade are
pulled out and » string tied to each end
to prevent the carrotte from opening, and
the whole wrapped in a clothesline,
usually made of cotton.
The wrapping is performed in the
primitive manner that characterises the
operation throughout. Use is made of
a windlass and a rope; the end of the
rope Is made fast to the carrotte, passed
around a post (driven into the ground),
a twist is now made around the carrotte,
and with each turn of the carrotte the
pressure is increased. This is continned
until the whole of the carrotte is envel
oped; the end is made fast by passing it
through several turns of the rope. This
finishes tile carrotte, but, before it is
placed upon the market, it is allowed to
age, which is usually from six mouths
to a year. During thin time the tobacco
is allowed to undergo a slow fermenta
tion, which gives the aroma and taste
that distinguish this tobucco from all
others.
The amount of perique grown and
manufactured 1ms averaged, during the
five years preceding 1800. 19.000 car
rottes of four pounds per unnnm.
Wholesale tobacconists have expressed
the doubt that any modern method
would produce tobacco with as fine
flavor as that produced by the old and
primitive manner just described.—Phar
maceutical Era.
now a King Keeps Cool.
Although one may not keep cool, It U
some satisfaction to read how others
manage it. There is the king of Slam,
for Instance. He is said to have in one
of his country palaces a wonderful pa
vilion. It was built by a Chinese engi
neer as a refuge for the king during the
extreme heat of summer. The walls,
ceiling and floors are formed of pieces of
plate glass an inch thick. They are so
perfectly fitted together with a trans
parent cement that the joints are Invis
ible and no fluid can penetrate. The
pavilion is twenty-eight feet long and
seventeen wide, and stands in the mid
dle of a huge basin made of beautifully
colored marbles.
When the king enters the pavilion the
single door is closed and cemented. Then
the slnice gates are opened and the basic
is filled with water. Higher and higher
it rises, until the pavilion is covered and
only the ventilators at the top connect
it with the open air. When the heat of
tho sun is so great that the water almost
boils on the surface of the freshest foun
tains this pavilion is deliciously oooL
And this is the way the king of Siam
cools himself off in hot weather. It
sounds very delightful.—Exchange.
Ati Automatic Wrapper,
One of the most ingenious and at the
same time practically useful among the
automatic machines which have been in
troduced is a device which forms, fills,
weighs and seals packages in those es
tablishments where huge quantities of
goods, such as fine cat tobacco, soda,
starch, etc., are constantly put up. The
operation by which this result is accom
plished, though decidedly novel, is not
at all complex in any particular, the ma
chine consisting merely of a series of
forming blocks, receptacles, folders,
glimmers and feeders, all working in
mutual harmony, so that the packages
are smoothly and continuously produced.
The forming blocks successively size
the paper, which Instantly afterward
is wrapped around them, folded and
gummed at the end; the paper sacks are
then plunged into receptacles filled with
the commodity with which they are in-
tended, finally folded on top and sealed

Oyster Prospects Are (load.
The past few weeks have been busy
onre with the oyster planters, and lovers
of ths oyster will he glad to bear that
the prospects of a large set are good, and
the bivalves should be plenty the coming
season. It is estimated that over a mil
lion bushels of shells have been laid
down here, the largest planters being H.
C. Bo we ft Co., 130,000 bushels; Luding-
ton ft Co.. 73.000: F. Mansfield ft Sons,
70,000; C. Parmalee, 40,000; Loncraft
Bros., 100,000; Cbipman ft Co., 03,000:
Bishop ft Co., 83,000; B. M. Bo we ft Bon,
80,000; Gunn ft Co., 80,000; Jeremiah
Smith ft Sons, 100,000; C. D. Parmalee,
40,000: M. Coleman. 80,000; Isaao El
Brown. 20,000. ,
Many of the large dealer* here have
beds at Stratford, Norwalk and Bridge
port, and reports from these sections are
equally encouraging. The value of the
shells dell vered at the beds is about
eight cents per bushel, which gives some
idea of the Importance of the oyster in
dustry, n poor set meaning a sure loss to
the planters.
Clams are very scarce at the grounds
around Savin Bock, Oyster Point,
Crane’s Bar and South End, and the few
dug are smull and lack sweetness. Large
quantities nre being brought hero from
Martha's Vineyard ill sloops. These are
planted in the (juiimipiuc river and dng
os required for the trade. Lobsters are
very scarce and tile trade is so unprofit
able that but few pots nre placed. Crabs,
on the contrary, are unusually plenty,
and large catches nre made in all the
bays and inlets.—New Haven Letter.
Wonderful Growth of Electrlo Travel.
Only twelve years have elapsed since
the first crude suggestions of the prac
tical working of an electric railway were
mode, and four years ago a list of a
dozen would comprise every' such road
in the world in even passably successful
operation, whatever the method of ap
plication Tho first large commercial
electric railway was. after many difficult-
ties und discouragements, opened in the
early part of 1888 at Richmond, Va.,
and since that demonstration was made
the Industry has grown until there nre
now in operation or under contract, on
the general lines laid down at Richmond,
not less than 330 roads in the United
States, Europe, Australia und Jupan, re
quiring more than 4,000 cars and 7.000
motors, with more than 2,000 miles of
track, a daily mileage of nearly 300,000
miles, and carrying nearly a billion pas
sengers annually. Fully 10.000 people
are employed on these roads, and theie
has never been an authenticated report
of death on account of the electrical
pressure used. Over $50,000,000 are iu
vested in this industry in this country-
alone.—Frank J; Sprague lu Forum.
Colds In Summer.
To talk of guarding against cold iu
summer seems absurd, und yet it is ns
necessary as in winter. Where the cli
mate is changeable a hot day is often
followed by a cool evening or a sudden
rainstorm chills tlie air, or a cold wind
springs up, grateful after the bent but
dangerous to those who ore thinly clad
unless they nre protected from it by
proper covering.
Cotton is a good conductor of heat
and allows it to escape rapidly from the
surface of the body. As soon as ths
surrounding air becomes cooler than the
skin it steals the heat which the body re
quires for its own needs. A fresh sup
ply of heat moat he produced, and thus
the system is overtaxed to supply the
demands of the robber. Flannel is a
bad conductor and guards the tender
body more faithfully, retaining the heat

Fifty Vest of Rattlesnakes.
Charles Everitt and a party of friends
were enjoying themselves in the woods
near Stroudsburg, Sunday, when they
suddenly found that they were in a den
of rattlesnakes. On every sldo were big
black rattlers, making the air ring with
the weird musio of their tails. Everitt
and the others pitched into the snakes
with clnbs and stones und succeeded in
killing thirteen. Double that many more
escaped. When the rattles were counted
on the dead reptiles it was found that
they numbered 142, while the total length
of the snakes was over fifty feet.—Port

Visitor* to Bnrna* Monument.
The visitors to Bums’ monument dur
ing the late Olasgow fair week fairly
broke the record in point of numbers.
Fully 2,000 persons paid for admission
to the monument during the week, being
about 200 in excess of any previous year.
It 1* estimated that about one in three of
those who go out to the Banks of Doon
go in to see the monument, and. accord
tag to this calculation, no fewer than
0,000 strangers made pilgrimages to the
spot during the week.—Ayr (Scotland)

Travel* of a Needle.
Mrs. J. Campbell, of thU place, when
a girl nine years old. ran a needle in her
right arm just above the elbow. Little
was thought of the occurrence until a
few days ago. whon rhe suffered great
pain in her left arm. The family phy
sician made an examination and found
the pain was canted by the needle,
which was removed. During the twenty
years intervening the needle traveled up
the right arm, acroe* the shoulder and
down the left arm.—Philadelphia Praia.

A horrible uffnjr has just - been discov
ered at Itegebew, in Belgium. A fam
ily named Vanden Ejnnle. consisting of
two brothers und a sister, live there on
their own estate. Six years ago there
was another brother, called Louis.- who
went away from the village to serve his
time in the urmy. lint Although be was
very eoon discharged as unfit lor mili
tary service, tue family always replied
to questions xb-iut him. saying that be
was still a soldier.
Lately, however, mysterious reporst
were spread, and recently the family
were surprised by the appearance of the
burgomaster, accompanied by several
other officials and a doctor. In spite of
protests, they searched the premises,
and when they opened one of the cellars
a horrible sight met their eyes. Cower
ing in a corner, on a filthy heap of straw,
was tlu- lost brother, who looked more
like a wihl animal than a wan.
A continual idiotic laugh wua the only
ligu of life he gave, for he tvas not capa
ble of making uny movement of his own
sccord. Even his head staid In what
ever position it was turned by the doc
tor who examined him. His unnatural
family confessed that when be returned
from bis regiment be was slightly mad.
and to save the expense of putting him
into a lunatic asylum they laid tied him
up in the cellar, where be bad remained
for six years. The brothers and sister
were arrested, mnl the imbecile was re
moved to an asylum.— Uuliguam Mes

Plowed Up Kevfiitedii Thousand Dollar*.
A few days ago a young farmer named
Edwards, while plowing near Souther
land Springs, struck au iron pot whose
top projected a half inch above tbe sur
face. It wan apparently filled with earth,
but its great weight led to au investiga
tion. Under an inch of dirt were many
doubloons of gold. The leather in which
they were wrapped was rotten, but save
for a greenish mold the coins were unin
jured. They were all doubloons. Ed
wards loaded his treasure In a wagon,
drove to San Antonio and deposited it in
bank, saying nothing of the find until
his return. The amount U $17,000.

Game* Forbidden on Sunday Only.
There is a suspicion, doubtless un
founded, tbut those whose word is law
at tbe Desplnines camp meeting are mov

directors explain that they have no ob
jection to croquet, tennis and sitting in
hammocks on any day except Sunday,
and the rales prohibiting these pleasures
apply to tbat day only. To many Meth

a few days since by two other lads
