country for chewing and smoking aaa
snuff cost $3.50, 100000; absut seven
dollars for every man, woman sad

This is bad enough, but the cost Of
intoxicating liquors consumed in 1870,
was, s6oO.OOo,OO0, averaging sssrly
twenty dollars to every man, woman and
child. A very large amount of this is
used in poor families, and reduces them
to want and wretchodness.

fearful cxtravagance would soon cease

been less clever" he says, "we might
have believed in their actual knowledge;
but they really knew too much. Being
convinced that there was some commu-
nication between them and their master,
l had invited several very intelligent
friends to be present, telling them that
my object was to discover the system of
NJ. Rouil, and asking their assistance
They watched as close as did, but
could discover nothing" During many
of the performances NJ. Rouil stood be
fore the fire place at some distance from
the dogs, and made no motion with
either feet or hands, nor did he advance
or retreat single step. There could
therefore be no communication through
the motions of his body. The dogs
performed equally well when their backs
were turned to their master, which for
bids the supposition that they were
guided by his eye. And the tones of
his voice, though encouraging and excit-
ing, as if he were speaking to child,
revealed that could be interpreted os a
method of communication. The only
supposition left was that the dogs might
bo guided by the sense of smell but,
as M. Rouil stood at some distance from
the table, and could not have known be
forehand what words would be called
for, it was impossible that he should
have touched the cards in any way to
guide the dogs by the scent The whole
performance seems inexplicabie.-Trans

The Perils of Coed Looking
Trunks.

Smashing trunks is not the only pas.
time of depot attendants, it seems, nor is
smashing the only i'll fate to which the
Saratoga" is liable. There is another
way of making the traveller miserable.
Probably it is not necessary to say that .
hack driver has been. arrested for IL, and
it is, therefore, a shrswd trick. The per
son in the game takes a short trip and
takes his trunk with him. It is we'll
known that trunks have no legs, and can
not run away; so, trusting in this fact,
the baggage master i'll the smaller places
are very apt to leave the trunks all in a
heap until the cars arrive. This is the
opportunity that the designing traveller
has in view. He steps up to see if his
trunk is all right. In looking it over
he takes its check off and puts it on the
best looking trunk in the lot, and puts
that trunks check upon his piece of bag
gage. Then he wandsrs away satisfied.
On reaching his destination he takes the
trunk to which his check entities him
and drives off with it. There are, of
course, all sorts of chances in the matter,
but the experiment always pays, since
the piece disposed of is only ballasted
and utterly valueless. The great Difficult
ty, now that the game is exposed, is how
to put check to it. People who have
anything valuable in this world, and wh0
take it about in trunks, can read this
and have something to worry over when
ever they make trip on the cars.

Southern Labor and Products.

The annual review Of the trade and
commerce of Charleston, which has just
appeared in the journals of that city,
suggests some points conce rning the gen.
er al condition of the Southern States.
which are of considerable Importance to
the whole country. South Carolina
which derived ample revenues from her
own products before the war, is gradual
ly recovering from the heavy losses she
has been compelled to endure and the
trade Of Charleston rose TO an aggregate
of about s70,0O0,00O last year-the
cotton receipts having been nearly one
hundred thousand bales in excess of
those of 1912, with corresponding
increase in the receipts of lumber aud
naval stores. Iu South Carolina, too
nsnui; cturing industi les are be ginning to
make headway, and the outlook is en-.
couraging Sea Island cotton, however,
in falling off, both in quantity quail
ty. The Charleston Ncws shows that
very general and serious losses on this
crop have been occasioned by the in
creased growth of other species anl by
the better preparation OF the long .stapl-
ed qualities of other countries the result
being to affect prices and to restrict the
cultivation Of the Sea Islands. 1t ap-
pears also, from review Of the whole
Southern cotton field, that the probable
yield this year will be below the limit of
1870 7l-at the highest estimate, not
more than 100000 bales. In 1870.
Il, the crop reached nearly million
bales above this amount. Among the
causes assigned for this falling off, be-
sides unfav vorable weather, rust, and the
worm, is ono which is very significant
namely, that larger acre was put under
cultivation than the labor at command
could manage. The inevitable con %.
quence of this was, that when the heavy
Spring rains occurred, followed by an
unusual growth of grass, great part of
the fields became choked, many Of them
were abandoned, and the resultant loss
is considered to be fully equal to any
increase in the area. This illustrates
the defective methods which still pre-
vail in THO South; the great want Of that
section is labor, and another want is
education in the uses and the reward of
labor. South Carolina has taught her
sisters, during the past two years, some
useful lessons which she has herself
learned under circumstances Of peculiar
difficulty; but that which B ii. Hill
rightly calls 'thc material and political
problem of the South" is yet to be sol.
we'd. Wr. Hill, in his recent speech at
the Jonesboro, Fair in Georgia, put his
counsel to the Southern people into half
a dozen crisp sentences, thus: HALF
the-labor and supplies employed in rails
ing 5,000,0 bales of cotton could be
employed in raising supplies without re-
duction in the value Of the cotton crop
81. But half this labor would raise
more tPan you need for supplies. You
could employ much Of it also, in enrich
ing your lands and improving your prop
erty in many ways. Then you would
come to the end Of the year with your
cribs full of corn, your smoke house full

Fish pIaa,tux IA the souih.

Prot. Bard, Tn;tod States Commits
sioner OF FisD I'D Fisher,es, has just
dispatched Mr. Seth Green, of Roohes-
ter, New York. and tour assistants, to
Augusta, Ga, tor the purpose OF stock
lug the Savannah river with shad
Spawn will also be hstched in other
streams in the vicinity, after which Mr.
Green will spend some time at Weldon,
North Carolina, stocking the Roanoke
river and ueighboring streams, and will
complete his labors in the South on the
Potomac and other Virginia streams.
Mr.. Green's method is to take the eggs
from the fish and hatch them in boxes,
by which means about ninety five per
cent of them are saved. while if not car
ed for about ninetv-eight per cent are
lost. Mr. Green expects that his labors
in the South will be as successful as
thew have been on the Hudson, Con-
necticut and Merrimsc rivers. The
catch of shad 10 the Connecticut river,
which was stocked about seven years
AGO. had dec eassd annually ever since
1902 when The fish were more plenty
than at any subsequent time. During
the last two wears sixty per cent more
fab have been caught in hauling a seine
N given size than were taken IN 1902.
