A tobacco plant will ripen in about 100 days from the time it is set out Transplanting should not be earlier then the 10th of May nor later than the 20th of June. The plants are set out very much as cabbage plants are, by inserting them to the bud and pressing the earth well to their roots. Plants should never be suffered to wilt before they are set out. A good plan is to select a good time, just before a rain if possible, and pat all available forces to the work of setting out. The plants should not be too’small, bat should be of good size, and if. given ihe feme care that yon would give a tomato or cabbage plant, they will live and grow off rapidly. CULTIVATION. Tobacco should receive only sur face culture. As soon as the plants have taken root they should be gone over with the hoes, breaking the top crust and drawing- fresh earth to the plant, this destroys the first crop of grass and kills the cut worms; if the land between the rows~bas become foul, it should be plowed with a small bull tongue or shovel at this first working. When grown to say a breadth of twelve inches, they should be cul- ticated thoroughly with plow, or cultivator, and hoe; they should be kept clean and ’v some earth drawn to the plants. This is all the plow ing the crop will need, but should grass and weeds appear it should be scraped off with the hoe. TOPPING. The buttons 1 or seed pods should be pinched off as fast as they ap pear. This usually begins about the first of July, maybe a little earlier with us. Those plants that are ready should be pruned at the first topping, that is, the lower leaves should be taken off. There is no definite rule as to the num ber of leaves to be left on-a stalk where the old method is used, but there should never be more than twelve or thirteen, generally eight to ten. As the season advances, reduce the Dumber of leaves left on the stalk, as quality, more than quantity, will regulate the profits realized. The suckers should be pulled off every week as they appear, aud should never be allowed to get over two inches long. No one need ex pect a crop of fine grade tobacco who does not pull off the suckers while small, and prevent the horn- worms (the worst enemies to to bacco) from cutting the leaves to pieces. WORMS. There are three varieties of worms that are enemies to the to bacco plant at different stages of its growth: the. cut-worm, bud- worm aud horn-worm. Tho cut worm will cut the stalk of the yonug tobacco plant as it will any other young plant in our gardens, and is best gotten rid of by early working; the bud-worm makes its appearance, about the time the plant is coming into top, and feeds upon the bud, catting it into small holes, which enlarges a's the leaf grows. The third, or horn-worm, is the same species as that found on Irish potatoes or tomatoes. Some recommend planting the common Jamestown weed at inter vals in and around the tobacco field, aud injecting a solution of Paris green, or of cobait, into the flowers thereof; another plan is to place lighted lanterns around in the fields set in pans of molasses or coal tar. All these, together with early planting and pushing forward the crop, and going over the crop at least once a week (ear ly in the morning), and waging re lentless war upon the worms that may be found upon the leaves-of the plants, will insure a good crop. As the season advances, and the days become cool, it is bast to gb over the crop in the afternoon and look for worms. FERTILIZERS. There is nothing better than well-preseryed stable manure for tobacco, bat there are jpapy goo4 commercial fertilizers that can be used to advantage. The following formula will be found to be a com plete fertilizer for tobacco: NO. L Nitrate of soda:..... .300 pounds. Acid phosphate 400 pounds. Sulphate of lime .300 pounds. no. n.

For years no method of curing was used, except the ordinary log tobacco barn, a system which fail- eel to utilize the space within the building to any advantage, which required the stalk for ?he purpose of hanging, and thus deprived the soil of the ammonia and potash which it contains, and which sacri- ficej the primings and other leaves which may ripen prematurely. That by the modern system the stripped stalk is left standing in the field, which, with the suckers that will shoot from it, can be turned under to enrich the soil, immediately recommends it to the thinking fanner, and, when the many features of extravagant waste attending the stalk cure are con sidered, almost imperatively de mands that it be adopted, if the farmer desires to raise tobacco as one of his moderate or larger sources of revenue. Under the modern barn system, the farmEr places himself in posi tion to take advantage of evEry condition, and whether his toaacco ripens early or late in the season, he is prepared to cure it. Not on ly this, but by the use of . the mod ern barn, or the stick for the old log barn, the necessity of carting in useless stalks to be used as a handle on which to cure the leaves, and the consumption of- so much- fuel with which to -dry them, is avoided. By the use of baskets,with small labor (but little more than would be required for priming),the leaves can be gathered as they turn the' proper color on the stalk without waste. And next it is proper to say that the. best method is to com mence taking off the leaves at the* bottom as soon as.they changa from a dark to a pale green. The stick, inveuted by Mr. W. H. Snow, of High Point, N. C., holds six steelj B wires, 9 inches long aud about 6 inches apart; each wire has two points, and with these points women and children can easily place the leaves on the wire, six to each, by pushing it through the butt of the stem. A first-cl ass'modern barn of the Snow system will cost $325,_aud will cure twenty acres. vidaal whoenters’the)world’s great field of work. To enter the’great battle with a lower ambitiou’is but to fetter.'ourselves with the chains of failure ’ere’the task'is'begun. To ejei'y industrious, energetic,’ brainy, honest individual who en ters any department of the world’s field of business, the avenue to success is open. It matters not how humble, or how exalted may be'the calling, the chief goal pos sible of attainment is success, and anything short of this is, at best, partial failure. Thus, if in our pursuits we fall short of this, the question arises, are we responsi ble for the failure? If not, then comes the question, how is it that any succeed? A close analysis and sifting of the ramifications bearing upon this subject will develop the fact that most failures in this life are at tributable to mistakes or misdi rected efforts upon the part of those who fail. It is as true as truth itself, that if we misapply or misdirect the time, the talents, the energies and powers that God has given us, ul timate failure will be the result. Herein is where the responsibili ty of man’s failure falls upon him self. Real success does notjjconsist jin hoarding riches and piling| up wealth, but he who fails Jo acquire for himself aud his, the reasonable comforts of life, falls short of the possibility within his reach. And when he traces this effect back to its prime cause, he will oftener than otherwise find that this cause within himself. Hence the The imports of bananas , into United States ports, and especially into-the port of New York, have in recent years reached much larger proportions than is general ly supposed. No steamers were chartered for this special purpose until about 10 or 12 years ago. Before that time banauas were brought to United States ports mainly by passenger steamere. Now the trade has become of such importance that during the twelve months ending with July 1 no less tiiaD 129 steamers, including re charters, were -engaged in this trade, of which 76 were chartered for an aggregate of 709 months by one’firm alone of this city. Each of these steamers makes on an average two round trips per month, carrying from 10,000 to 20,000 bunches of bananas, and of ten from 30,000 to 80,000 cocoa- nuts in addition.

As she was breaking a lump of coal pre paratory to putting it in the scut tle she discovered, as the lump fell apart, embedded in circular shape, a small gold chain about 4 inches in length of antique and quaint workmanship. At first she thought the chain had been dropped acci dentally in the coal, but .as she un dertook to lift the chaiD,the idea of irs having been recently dropped was made fallacious, for as the coal broke it separated almost in the middle, and the circular position of the chain placed the ends near together. As the lump separated the middle of the chain became loosened, while each end remained fastened to the coal. This is a study for the students of archaeology who love to pnzzie their brains over the geological construction of the earth, from whose depths the carious is always cropping out. The lump of coal from which this chain was taken is supposed to come from the Taylor- ville or Paua mines, and it almost hushes one’s breath with mystery when it is thought for how many long ages the earth has been form ing strata after strata which hid the golden links from view. The chain was of eight carat gold,, and weighed eight pennyweights. The combination of ingredients found in Ayer’s Pills render them tonic and curative as well as ca thartic.

Pride is a deceitful iikness of greatness. Debt is an inexhaustible foun tain of dishonesty. A little tliing consoles ns because little things affect us. Amonst true friends there is no fear of losing anything. Exomple is the school of man kind, and they will learn at no oth er. To persevere in one’s duty and be silent is. the best answer to cal umny. The most certain means not to lose the good that one does is to forget it. To live without working is to check within one’s self the well- spring of life. Little minds are hurt by little things; great minds see them all, and are not hurt. The pain of living without pleas ure is well worth the pleasure of dying without pain. Piety ought to be lovable*, be cause it ought to be virtue adorn ed, and there is nothing so lovely as virtue. We are exact in counting the tribulations that .afflict us; are we equally so in counting the sins that drew them upon ns? ,..0-4 ’ What is more disgusting to a re fined person than to see a dirty, tartar-covered set of teeth, and there is no excuse for having the teeth in this condition when you can get a bottle of Sexafroo for 75 cents, which in a short space of time will change them to a pearly white.

Pi of Harvard on the item] the Loweli Institution of Boston the other day, said injsubstahce: There are two aspects of the liquor question, the' economic and the moral. There are at present in the liquor traffic throughout the country’- some 200,000 persons - ^ 163,000 in the retail, and the rest wholesale. These -figures repre sent only the dealers. The num ber of persons employed ib upward of 1,000,000. . The worst of these horrible figures is that'they mean the withdrawal of jnst that many persons from the right kind of em ployments. In tEeir present occu pations they contribute little or- nothing to the wealth of the coun try. As to the amount of liquor con sumed in 1886, £$337,000,000 was spent for spirits, 8304000,000 for beer, S16,000,000 for imported wines, and $34,000,000 for domes tic wines; a frightful total of about S'700,000,000. This is one-twelfth of the amount spent for food, cloth ing and necessaries of life. In the same year there was re ceived as wages §957,000,(XM), and the liquor bill cqnsnmed two-thirds of it. Again, it costsj$350,000,000 a year for churches; snd’tiiBi&wk bill would buy all the churches in six months. - Behind all this is the great im portance of the moral aspect That drink is injurious to 999 cases out of overy 1,000 goes without proof.

The solutionof-the-problem, though still far off, perhaps, is in each individaaljfeeoghizmgthat he is himself an important factor in his community, as an example, and adopting for himself the teaching: “If eating meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no meat, lest I make my brother to offend.” One of the best indications of tbe good results of enforced prohi bition in Portland, Maine, comes tq notice in the loading of the English steamers.
