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 —New Vork Sun. itrfitso. j •' An Irish servant girl came to her mistress one morning begging permission to go to tho dentist to have an aching ■•toot" filled, saying that It had been going "thumpity-thump, thumpitv- tbumpr all night When the girl returned, her mis trap asked: filled!"* 1 ’ KaH * ,<Ud yon •“** tbe tooth "Oi did, mom.** . , “What did yon have it filled with!" tJI don’t know just pbwat it was. ,rora '" .v h fnles Oi iuonlilnn : if was t*...a!.ti::i , Iniglituiug ? < ‘’ 1 !””• • Youth'sCon i'* u*w 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 —Elizabeth B. Scovil in Ladies' Homs Journal 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 Jervis (N. Y.) Union. 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) Advertiser. 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 senger. A* » Man See* It. The letter fluttered into the sanctum yesterday.

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. There hie'long been a tradition In Southerland Springs neighborhood that Santa Anna buried treasure there on his retreat after bis defeat at tbe battle of San Jacinto in the war of independence, and various searchers have bunted for it Tbe pot was originally sank deep, but the rains of more than half a century had denuded it of Its-covering.—^Cor. Chicago Tribune. A Curious Ohlu Family. Living near Wuyuesville is a family named Yeazel. who lately moved there from Clinton connty. Recently tbe bead of the family entered a hardware store at' the first named placo and called forseven hoes. Tbe clerk was astonished, whereupon the farmer explained tbut he bad brought but four boes with him from Clinton county, and wanted seven more to keep bis sons and himself busy. He is possessed of eleven children, the mother and only daughter having six fingers on each hand, two of the boys six toes ou each foot, and one baring seven toes on one foot The family cul tivates "tobacco and is regarded with rnnch enriuaity by the neigbbore on ac count oftho extra supply of fingers and toes.—Cincinnati Enquirer. 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 ing backward in their course with re gard to tbe rales denying nearly all secu lar amusements to young people.
