Tobacco in Connecticut.

AT recent meeting of the Connecti-
cut Valley Agricultural Institute, Prof.
Stockbridge is reported, in the New
England Homestead, as saying that
there was about forty million dollars
worth grown in the United States, IN
the following order: /, Virginia 2,
North Carolina 3, Maryland 4, Ken
tucky; 5, Mississippi; 6, Connecticut !;
z, Massachusetts, etc. The analysis of
tobacco shows it to be narcotic poison.
No other plant is like it in composition.
In small quantity it is stmulant, in
large quantities deadly poison. 1t is
rapid grower, and draws from the
soil more than any other plant. Glover
takes from the mineral element of the
soil ten per cent, tobacco twenty per
cent, or one ton of tobacco exhausts
400 pounds of mineral substances for
every acre. The Connecticut seed. leaf
tobacco has popularity, in contradis-
tlnctlon to any other in it's fineness and
thinnesB of leaf and texture, and light.
ness of color. Tobacco is made by it's
soil. 1t cannot be heavy clay, heavy
loan or alluvial soil. Must be fine,
sandy land, having absorbent power,
and retaining heat through the night.
Taking this poor soil large quantity
of manure must be uaed. The land is
the machine for raising tobacco, and it
mist be fcrtiliZed and not allowed to
deteriorate Il particle. Tobacco is so
exhaustive that no farmer or farm can
make it an exclusive crop. Stock must
be fed for the manure, and the streams
of grain which flow in from the west are
to he taken advantage of.
Prof. Stockbndge said if tobacco
raising was managed on business prin

ciplcs, with economy, it is tho best
business man can engage in, in tho
Connecticut valley. Thorc will always
he II market for all that will be grown.
The reason of the present depression
of the business is because the quality
has much dotcrioratcd, and this is ac-
counted for in part by not using the
right kind of fertilizers, hut mainly
in the future to ripen and cure it. To-
bacco properly cured should be ripenou
just as much as any other plant We
grow, and the modern method of plant
ing it too near together has caused Sc
rious evil, and is the great source of
pole-sweat. In planting SO close to.
gether all except the upper leaves are
shaded, and the juices of the leaf arc
not properly elaborated. To make Il
fine leaf, and to develop the oils and
acids of the plant, we must expose it to
the direct rays of the sun.
The curing process is defective; by
the slow gradual process, much of the
essential narcotic oil is lost. Prof.
Stockbridge referred to a new system
adopted largely in Maryland and Vir-
ginia, to cure tobacco by an artificial
heat with furnance constructed for
that purpose. And it could be done
thoroughly in seven days. first making
the heat temperature to eighty degrees,
onI the course of five or six days in
to 130 degrees. This artificial
curing retains all the virtue of the to-
oacco, in fact, increases its essential
oils.-Rural Ne'o Yorker.

The Art oi Listening to Music.

A writer in Scribner's says "There
is no greater delusion than that of SUD-
posing that the best music can be en-
joyed only by the musical Ordinary
people can derive keen pleasure from a
sympathetic listening to great music if
they will but believe that they can, and
SO attend to it accordingly. There is
no need of being batfied by want of
knowledge concering keys; nor by All
ignorance of modulation. Your next
neiRhbor may know that the air began
in G major, and then passed into B
minor, but you can get your own sim
pier pleasure out OF it. What is it to
me what Titan's secret of color might
have been? He had it, and that is
enough for one who cannot even draw.
The first rule in listening to music is
to listen. We do not want to arouse
ourselves to + e zy of delight, but
we do want to heal what the music is
like. A very simple and very good rule
for those who are perplexed by an or
chestra, and who fancy they are puz-
Zeld to know where the tune comes in,
is TO listen to one instrument, the
violins, for instance, alone for a time.
These will probably take up the melody
and sing IL plainly enough, then the
movement may become more compli-
Gated, and the air seems to have grown
more forid, to be broken perhaps into
brilliant fragments, but henrken the
vicloncelli have taken it up, and over
it floats this new and lovely strain of
violins, then the flutes catch the melody,
the comets and the bassoon swell the
harmony, the drum makes it rhythmic
beats, the whole orchestra is alive with
the theme, and before you know it you
are in the very center of the music.
and what was before involved and in
tricate now becomes plain and beauti-
full"

Syrian Sponges.

lle latest project before the acclima-
tlzation society of Paris is the cnltiva-
tion of the celebrated Syrian sponge in
the waters Of southern France, valu
able and most useful product, which,
like many another gift OF the sea, is in
danger of determination through excess
sive fishing.
The sponge producing grounds of
Syria occur along the coast, from Mount
Carmelin the south to Alexandretta in
the north, the centers of production
being Tripoli, Ruad, IIattakia, and
Bartroun, on the coast of Mount Leba.
non. The best quantities are found in
the neighborhood of Tripoli and Bar
troun. According to a late report of
the British vice-consul at Beyrout, as
many as three hundred boats are en-
gagged in the fishery the annual yield,
though falling off through the cxhaus-
ton OF the grounds, still amounts to
100000 to Sl25,0OO The majority of
the boats used are ordinary fishing
boats, from eighteen to thirty feet in
lcngtls three parts deckcd over, and
carrying one mast with an ordinary lug
sail. They are manned by crew Of
four @! five men, one to haul and the
rest to serve as divers.
III lprmer years the coast was much

islanf!s of the Archipelago; the number
is no1i' restricted to five or six boats IL

with bis better knowledge of the fishing

Diving is practiced from very early
age up to forty years after which few
are able to continue the pursuit profit
ably. The depth to which the diver
desccnds varies from five to thirty
" braGSes," or from twenty-five to one
hundred and scventy-fvc feet The
time he is able to spond under water
depends on natural capacity, age, and
training; sixty seconds time is rcckoncd

placing them in n net which he carries.
No knife, spear or instrument of any
kind is used in detaching the sponges
nor does he, like his Greek competitor,
ever use the diving dress, having an
antipathy to it on tho score of it's re-
putcd tendency to produce paralysis OF
the limbs. Two or three fatal accidents
occur annually, mainly among the skill
full and daring, who sometimes drop the
rope to secure tempting prize, and
missing it Oh their return, attempt to
rise to the surface unaided, and arc
drowned. At other times the diver
will be wounded by jagged rocks, or
his ropes will become entangled, expos
ing him to great risks where the depth
is great.
1t is possible that this high priced
and durable variety of sponge might be
cultivated in our southern waters, as a
substitute for the beautiful but tender
sponge they now yield. The expert
ment is worth trying.

heart.
1t was evident that she was deeply
attached to me. l could not help see.

Raymond, who had accompanied me
from abroad. She never addressed him

flush all over with embarrassment if he

she was always self-possessed, and so
tRlsative and sociable that could not
help pitying Charlie. He was really
quite good-looking, and used to won

approaching happiness. It would be a
great blow to his hopes. for he had cx-
