AN OLD LAWYERS STORY.

A great many years ago, when |
was comparatively young man, and
still unmarried, resided in a certain
city in Pennsylvania, and enjoyed
the reputation of being the cleverest t
lawyer known there. 1t is not for
me to say the praise was merlted but
certainly found myself able to dis
cover loopholes of escape for those
whom L defended, which surprised
even my fellow-lawyers. Iposses, ,ed
by nature those qualities which
would have made an excellent detec-
tive, and L was thorough student
OF the law. There was no mystery
about it, but among the most igno-
rant classes gained reputation for
more than human knowledge. Per-
haps it was. not polite for them to
say that the devil helped, but they
did. -.
However, began to tell you about
Mime. Matteau. She was an old lady,
who owned little house in the SUI
burbs of the city. She herself was of
American birth. but her husband had
been Frenchman, and SO the title of
Madame had been bestowed upon
her. She was widow. and her
daughter Gabrielle, and her son Hen
ri, were her only living relatives.
Her income was but SMALL. and she
eked it out by taking few boarders,
generally steady old people, who had
known her for years. These respec-
ted and liked her; but the city gem
orally had prejudice against her.
There had been two sudden deaths in
her house, Each time the victim
was stranger who came at night,
and was found dead In the morning.
Each time the jury was divided /;
some believed that strangulation was
the cause of death, some said that tho
man had died in q fit.
1t was terrible blow that two such
deaths should have occurred beneath
her reof Madame's friends pitied
her. The rest of the little world
limited that these were strangers, and

the barn; when the heat is adjusted
the door should be again closed as be-
fore. If the advance of the heat Is
more than five degrees in tw hours
it is apt to throw the, tobacco into a
sweat, which is indicated by the
leaves becoming gummy and sticking
together. Should this be the case,
the sdoor must be opened and the
mercury allowed to descend eight or
ten degrees and remain at that point
until the tobacco is free from sw eat, /,
say from one to two hours, then the
heat should advance deg. an hour
as before. A barn Of tobacco can be
injured by being too slow as well as
by being to fast ;iwhen too slow the
yellowest leaves begin to, turu- a
brownish red, OF. the face of the leaf,
then this is the case the heat shOuld
be advanced q little faster than B deg.
intwo hours !; W hen too fast he leaves
on the lower tier will begin first to
spot or scald which indicates that the
tobacco is in sweat, and should be
femedied' as before mentioned. bItis
impossib BILE to say (for'alll cases) how
long twill take to run from 1O5 deg.
to l20 deg, it depends entirely upon
the condition of the tobacco. The
heat should remain at no deg, until
the tails of thes leaves begin to curl.
When this appears the heat can be ad-
vanced with safety. 1t 120 deg. can
be reached without Injury to the to-
bacco, there is very little difficulty in
securing success. The fires should
remain at 100 deg. until the leaf is
dry OH the lower tiers, which usually
requires to 10 hours, then the heat
should be advanced 5 deg. an hour
until it reaches $50 deg. At this point
wood may be substituted for coal
without injury to the color, but great
care must be taken to keep the fire
between $50 and ITO deg. till stalk and
stem are thoroughly cured. azs .-5

CONSTRUCTION OF BARNS.

We believe in small barns for any
kind of curing. A house built 16 feel
inside and divided into four rooms
and six tier high In the body is the
preferable size for f1ue or coal curing
For flues they should be built OH 8
very slightly sloping place; just
enough to make the Hues draw we'll.
Flues four inches lower ut the eye
than the chimney will be slope
enough. 81: Es# - .-5sf g's 80
The door should be always between
the fues aud in the end of the house
to prevent the drip from falling be-
fore the door aud the eye of the fiues
The tiers should begin eight feet
above the ground and be placed two
feet above each other to the top. They
should be placed across the house SC
that the roof tier can conveniently
be placed above Them The door
three feet wide and six feet high,
furnished with good, close shut tier
A barn of this size will cure $50 sticks
or common size tobacco, which will
weigh about 1900 Ibs.r The proper
construction OF lfues is of great i'm.
portance they should be built of any
stone that will stand fire without
bursting. White sandstone, bastard
soap-stone, or any, other that does
not contain flint. The size of the
fiue for a sixteen foot barn, is gen.
orally about IL inches wide by IL
inches high inside. Not much care
need be takema to have them smooth
on the outside. If stone can be had
to make the inside smooth so as not
to obstruct the putting on of wood,
it is all that is necessary. They
should be run just far enough from
the house-side not to set the house OIL
fire, and there is not as much danger
OF this as may he supposed. Run the
walls of the flue parallel with the
house-side, turning with the corner,
80 as to preserve the same distance
from the house-side all round, rum
ming the stem out at the middle of the
upper side. The stem should be lun
far enough above the wall of the
house to avoid danger of sparks from
the chimney. The height of the in-
side OF the tlue should be preserved
its whole length. The width may be
slightly decreased from the elbow to
the chimney. The inner wall is car.
ried all around. But too much ex-
planation bewilders; we think we
have said enough.
AS before said, we like small barns
where too much tobacco is together,
1t all cannot receive the heat alike,
which is our main objection to large
barns.
AS to the number of barns necessa-
ry, we would say there ought to be
enough to receive all the crop with
out moving any. Say one sixteen
foot barn to every 5000 hills of to-
bacco planted. AS a general rule,
plant one thousand hills for every
hundred sticks house-room. That is,
IT you have three barns plant "a, 200
hills, and if it is common tobacco,
they will receive it. A much larger
quantity may be saved in this num-
Der of barns by curing and moving
out, but it is very troublesome,
