The Cigar Industry.rTs

A room of the Internal Revenue
Department. in the Post Office Build
ing, New York, contains, it 10 said,
about. $4,000 cigars, mostly Of cheap,
domestic manIfactllre, aud epr66ent-
ing as samples evidence in the matter
of seizures, reaching within the last
seven months, upward of l,250, 900 ci.
gars.s These samples, illustrate every
phase in the swindling of the Govern
ment in the tax upon the manufacture
of tobacco, and each labelled package
has history in itself. The require
ments of the Government in tho man
ufacture of cigars are very simple. A
tax is imposed of go cents ON each 100
cigars, and stamps are issued at that
rate, to be placed upon boxes designed
to contain either 25, so, 100, $50, or 500
cigars. The law requires that these
stamps, once used on boxes, shall bo
cancelled in two ways-first, by writ
ing upon it the factory number and
date of stamping, and second, by
stamping upon it not less than six
wave lines cx tending over the stamp
and on to the box, at least three-quar-
ters of an inch on each side. When
the box is ernptied, any neglect to
cancel the stamp is made punishable
by fine OF $50, or imprisonment
from ten days 10 six months, and any
person refillinga stamped box is made
liable to q fine of 500 or one years

What there is In Wheat.

The wheat grain is fruit consisting
of Il seed and its coverings. All the
middle part of the grain is occupied
by large, thin cells, full Of powdery
substance, which contains nearly all
the starch Of the wheat. Outside the
central starchy mass is single row
Of squarish cells filled with a Yellow
ish material, very rich in nitrogenous,
that is, flesh h-forming matter. Beyond
this again there are six thin coats or
coverings, containing much mineral
matter, both of potash and phosphatcs.
The mill products of these coverings
of the seeds are peculiarly rich in nu-
triment, and fine flour is robbed Of q
large percentage of valuable and nu-
tritious food. Middlines not only
contain more tibrin and mineral mat
ter than tiuc flour, but also fat. The
fibrous matter, or outer coat, which is
indigestiblc, forms one-sixth of the
bran, but not one-hundreth Of the fine
flour. Wheat contains the greatest
quantity of gluten and the smallest of
starch: rye, Il medium portion of both
while in barley, oats and corn, the
largest proportion Of starch and the
smallest gluten are to be found. In
practice 100 pounds of flour will make
from 134 to 137 pounds Of bread,
good average being 1876 pounds; hence
a barrel of 1876 pounds should yield
266 one pound loaves-[American

Agricultural Education.

The man who expects that a four
years. course of study in an A@ricultu-
raj College will fit him for Il practi-
cal farmer, is greatly mistaken. One
of the most sensible statements OH the
subject that we have recently met is
one made by Col. G. S. Chase at the
Nebraska State Fair last fall. He
said: education in every branch of
the arts and sciences, trades and pro-
fessions, is valuable only as it is pur-
sued with the intention Of acquiring
knowledge for the actual benefits it
cOnfers,-the advantage it gives its
pOssessor over those who have not Sc
cured it. The modern method of
studying farming through the medi-
um of books, and by the aid of profess
sors so-called, is all we'll, provided the
student has been practical cultivator
of the soil, SO that he can appreciate
the subject upon which his thoughts
are engaged. And it may be of much
service to the man who afterwards
becomes, not in name only, but in fact,
farmer. For mere graduate of an
Agricultural College to suppose, UNI
less he has been a practical farmer,
gathered from books, or the training

enable him to successfully conduct an
ordinary farm, is simply preposter-
Gus. While he has acquired a knowl-
edge of chemistry and of the nature of
soils, and their relation to vegetable
growth, and may have continued his
researches until he can answer abstruse
questions'as to the affinities existing
between vegetation and animal devel-
opment, still he will find, if he con-
cludes from this fact that he can run a
farm, that he is sadly mistaken. OF
all the callings to which man has ever
turned his attention, farming requires
the most actual practical experience.
The custom in the New England
States, in the olden time, as it is said,
of sending the dull boys of the family
to college, and putting the bright
ones to work on the farm, was q SELL
sible one. A boy OF ordinary mind
can be educated to the standard of the
so-called learned professions, or to
follow the routine of the professors
chair, but it takes bright brain and
an energetic hand to so manage the
soil as to make it a willing, profitable
servant" Chicago Tribune. f

High-COlOred Butter.

Fashion DEGREES that butter. to be
"gilt-edged, must be yellow. Color
is not wholly the result of feed, as
butter from the milk of some cows is
always of light color. Many butter
makers use the juice Of carrots, others
the yelk of eggs, to impart the proper
color Both of these substances can
be depended OH for only Il short time,
as the color fades. Corn-stall>s, and
corn or corn-mcal, fed to COWS, usual
ly tend to make the butter yellow;
but great deal even then rests with
the cow. We prefer white butter to
that colored with any substance, be it
carrot, egg, annattO, or any of the per-
fected butter-colors, so-called. There
is, however, little use i'll trying TO
change fashion. Says Mr.. Geldes, i'll
the Rural New YOrker:
"The demand in the market was for
colored butter, and it must be colored
by feed to the COW, or artiticially
when making. He had eaten butter
in Philadelphia that had cost S1.15
per pound and Oh the table that but
ter showed the carrot-fiber with
which it had been colored. People
who wanted to eat their carrots in
that way, and pay $1.15 per pound,
should be given the privilege they de-
manded. The next day at the same
table he had eaten butter that cost so
cents per pound ut the corner grocery,
and, for his taste, it was infinitely ST.
perior." Chicago Tribune.

Good Advice to Readota.

If you measure tile value OF study
by the insight you get into subjects,
not by the power of saying you have
read many books, you will soon per-
ceive that 10 time is SO badly saved AZ
that which is saved in getting through
book in hurry. For it to the time
you have given you had added = little
more, the subject would have been
fixed on your mind, and the whole
time probably employed; whereas,
upon your present arrangement, be-
cause you would not give little more
you have lost all. Besides, this il
overlooked by rapid aud superficial
readers-that the best way of reading
books with rapidity is to acquire that
habit Of severe attention to what they
contain that perpetually confines tho
mind to the single object it has in
view. When you have read enough to
have acquired the habit Of reading
without suffering your mind to wan
der, and when you can bring to bear
upon your subject a. great share of
previous knowledge, yon may then
read with rapidity; before that, rs
you have taken the wrong road, the
faster you proceed the more You will
be sure to r.-[Sidney Smith.

laDly oppressed, ground down by the
wrctchcd beyond any parallel else
where.
This cxaggcration has, no doubt, it's
origin mainly i'm the superficial i'm
prcsslons OF strangers, who, coming
fresh from Europe-where, in differ
cnt civilization, a totally different
standard of peasant life prevails-dis-

food and the primitive huts of these

cr special misery and administrative
abuse. But no differences could we'll
be more fallacious. Apart from the
fact that these external features accord
with the climate, and have been stereo-
typed since before the pyramids were
built, 1T may be affirmed that the gen.
eral condition of the fellaheen will
compare favorably with that of al
most any other peasantry in the east.

But apart from the tradi-
tional cruelty of tax-gathering all the |

taxes at all. 1t is, in fact, point of
honor to bear any amount Of ''stick,"

of it, can be evaded. The fellah, in
