THE TWIN SISTERS:
A leaf from the Journal Of an Antiquaria
BY MRS. EMMA C. EMBURY.

The old mansion house Of Folkstone has
little TO attract the notice of the passing
wayfarer, for its fine park is now convert
ed into sheep pasture, its flower garden Is
planted with turnips, and its noble woods
have long since been felled to enable its ow-
ner to enrich and embellish some fairer
domain. The house has suffered compare
lively little from time, but fiercer enemy
has been at work within its walls and in its
finest apartments are still visible the traces
of that devouring fire which has reduced
it almost to ruin. Strange rumors are
abroad concerning the origin of that fire.
The present owner, wild and dissolute
youth, came down to visit it, with party
of gay jewellers, soon after it fell into his
possession. Five more stately and better
appointed mansions were already his, for
he was one of England's peers, and when
he beheld the worm.eaten tapestries and
Wondering furniture, he was heard to cx-
claim, with an oath
II would that my mad cousin of Folk
stone had set fire TO the old nest; it will cost
more in taxes than the lands will yield in
revenue"
His steward, a keen.eyed, iron faced man,
heard his masters words, and on the very
night after the young lords departure, the
building was discovered to be in flames
Some said il was judgment from Heaven
Others shook their heads, and whispered
that the agency Of man was visible in a fire
which had broken out from four different
points at the same moment, and certain it
is that no money was ever spent upon the
repair of the once noble structure.
The ladies Rosamond and Lilias were
the only children of the proud old marquis
whose ancestors had for centuries ruled
over the domain of Folkstone. Born after
childish marriage of many years, perhaps
both parties would have been pleased if one
fair son had been given to them instead Of
the two fragile daughters who were now
destined to inherit the estates, and extln
guish the name of their ancient family
Rut parental affection silenced, if it coult
no, subdue their regrets, and ere long the
twins were the idols of both father ane
mother. The singular personal resem
blance, which so generally characterize
those whom nature has so mysteriouslI
connected, was in this case very strongl.
marked. As infants they could, with dlifl
Guilty, be distinguished from each other AM
only the unerring eye of mother cou
detect the shade of difference between tn

FRENCH DUTIES ON AMERICAN
TOBACCO.

The monopoly of the Tobacco trade
under the French Regte has yielded in
duties to the Government for the year
1911 the sum Of eighty millions of francs,
or nearly sixteen millions of dollars The
Paris correspondent Of the National Intel.
ligencer, in stating this fact. which has re.
Gently become known from the exhibition
of the accounts says that the revenue from
the same source in 1880 was only forty six
million francs. One of the Paris editors,
IN view of this increase, exCaims what
would it not be if the Reggie would at
length vouChsafe 10 US good tobacco
1t will be recollectCd that when Our
Tariff was established, laying moderate
duties on French silks and wines, great
cutlery arose in Paris; we were denounced
in no measured terms; and the friends of
| the Tariff had to encounter this torrent Of
| foreign invective in addition to the partizan
hostility which sought to defeat the meas
ure at home. The propriety and Justice
of the French complaints and inyectives
may be seen at a glance when the fact is
considered that from one single article Of
American production the French govern
ment raises the enormous amount of eighty
millions of francs annuaIly-a sum nearly
equal to the whole amount of our entire
revenue from impost duties in ls4l.
f If the market for our tobacco in France
were regulated on liberal principles, if no
greater restrictions were laid upon ii than
we impose upon French products, there can
J be no doubt but cur planters would find an
increased demand for their sta pie far be-
yond the present extent Of sales A more
rigid monopoly was never devised than that
cf tie French Reggie. The Government
becomes great factor and trades in snuff
and segars for the sake of the profits, ex-
Guiding all others from the privilege of
competition in the traffic. 1t sends its
agents in our markets to purchase tobacco,
and forbids all other purchases on the part
Of its subjects; and having procured sup
ply adequate TO the expected demand at
home, it holds the monopoly of the article,
and sells at its own prices.
The tobacco growing districts of the
Union are much concerned in having bet
,, ter conditions of trade established than now
exist in reference to this article between
the United States and France. We may
! add that our own city is especially con.
cerned in the matter, for there is no qucs-
ton but Baltimore is and must be the great
, tobacco mart of the country. The new
facilities of transportation now offered by
the improvements connecting us with the
, West, must bring vast quantities of to-
, baCCo to this port from Ohio, kentucky
and Missouri, which, with the supplies
from Virginia and our own State, will
= render this market the most abundant, both
5 in the amount and in the varieties of the
/ article, Of any in lie United Safes.

In childhood, when my girlish eye
Glanced over life's unfaded green,

How bright the sun, how free the air,
Seemed circling DER bright seventeen.
Thirteen arrived, but still my book,
My dress, were watched with aspect keen.
Scarce on novel might look,
And bals--must wait for seventeen

MANrRE.-We find the following useful

MANURE,--W find the following useful
suggestion in late English paper
ut is well known that 10 a close stable,
where there are good many horses, there is
a very pungent smell, affecting the ewes and
nose, more particularly when the stable is
being cleaned out. This smtl is occasion.
ed by the flying off Of ammonia, which is
the very essence and value of manure, aud
which volalilizes or flies off at very low
temperature-even the warmth of the ma
nure in a stable will send it off, and il goes
off in great quantities by the common heat
of the manure in 4 farm yard, whether
thrown up in heaps or not. There is, how
ever, a very cheap and simple remedy for
this. Before you begin 10 clear out your
stable, dissolve some common salt in water:
! if four horse stable, say 4 lbs. of salt, dis
solved in two buckets of water and poured
! through the nosa If watering pan over
| the stable floor an hour or so before you be-
gin to move the manure, and the volatile
/ salts of ammonia will become fixed salts,
| from their having united with the muriatic
acid of the common salt, and the soda th43s
| liberated from the salt will quickly absorb
carbonic acid, forming carbonate of soda;
| thus you will retain with your manure the
ammonia which would otherwise have
flown away, and ypu have also new and
most important agent thus introduced, viz:
the carbonste Of soda. As this is most
powerful solvent of all vegetable fibre, and
see.nC that all manures have 10 be rendered
soluble before they can act upon vegetation,
il will be at once apparent that the carbon,
ate Of soda so introduced must be most
powerful and valuable agent"
