Tobacco Growing.

Few of the operations in tobacco
farming require greater care and nicely
than setting out the plants. Carelessness
tells as quickly at this point as at any
later stage The seed bed ought to be
moist enough to allow the plants to be
pulled up without breaking the roots.
1t can easily be put into this condition
by careful watering. Each plant should
be removed by itself, and care must be
exercised not to tear the roots or brIrise
the leaves. A small prolonged instru
meft like fork will facilitate the work
of removal. The plants should be care
fully drawn, as on this depends much of
the after value of the plant bed. Only
single plant should be drawn at time.
Ii the removal of more is attempted small
ones are often taken With the large ones,
giving the field an unequal stand. Small
plants ought not TO be set out except in
cases of necessity. The best plants are,
of course, those with low, bunchy top,
as they are certain to have plenty of
large, strong roots. Slender, spindling
ones have far less vitality and easily sue
cumb to the cut worm, dtouth, dry
winds and other enemies of the tobacco
field. Thin sowing generally does away
with much annoyance on these points.
They may be carefully placed in a
basket and in this way carried to the
field. Here the planting should be done
as rapidly as possible. A boy with the
basket in hand passes between two rows
and drops plant on every spot marked.
He will be able to drop the plants quite
as fast as two men can plant them. A
variety of methods and devices are in use
for this purpose Some use a light
trowel, which is thrust into the ground,
pressed to one side, and III the opening
thus formed the roots of the plants are
inserted, when the trowel is withdrawn,
and the earth closely pressed around
them. This at least has the merit of
speed, but We do not advise its hractice.
The more nearly the roots are placed in
the position they were while in the seed
bed, the more likely and mole quickly
the young plants are to grow. A better
way is to use planting peg, about six
inches by one and quarter in diameter,
and the lower end tapering, with round
ed point This the planter must thrust
about two inches into the hill, then with
draw it, and into the opening made the
roots of the plants must be put and the
dirt be carefully pressed about the roots.
II there is time and the field is not large
the hands can be used with better result
than either the trowel or peg. The nee
essary opening in the ground can be
scooped out and the roots of the plants
put into their natural position and the
ground drawn over them. This is slow

Californians may have faults, but
meanness is not one of them. The other
day, when the usual bank balances were
adjusted, runners canvas sack burst al
the seam, and $4,000 in golden doub-
looms were spilled among the promiscuous
crowd. Every one pitched in except the
porter, who, unconcerned, held a sack
to receive the coin that was picked up.
A stranger, looking on, SAID: my
man, hadn't you better count and see
how much is missing?" The porter said,
81 didn't think of that there is nothing
mean about Californians. However, I'll
count" Stepping into a stock-broker's
Office he did count and found not piece
missing. 90" knowed IL" said he,
smihngly.

Natures Barometers.

Every one has noticed the ingenious
and delicate workmanship of the spider
they have noticed too the way in which
he spins his thread but every one may
not have remarked the interesting fact,
that whenever We are TO have wind ol
rain the spider shortens very much the
last threads to which his web is suspend
ed. and he leaves it in that condition az
long as the weather continues variable.
If he lengthens the threads fair weather
may be predicted, and the continuation
of fair weather may be inferred from the
length of the thread If the spider re-
mains inert it is sign of rain +; if, how
ever, he commences to work during the
rain, You may be certain that the rain
Will not last long, and that it will be fol-
lowed by steady, fair weather. The
spider changes his web every twenty
four hours if the change is made in the
evening, little before sunset, the night
viii be fair and clear.
The swallow, this beautiful bird, the
harbinger of spring, is also an unfailing
barometer. When the swallow flies low,
on a level with the earth, and gives a
light and plaintive cry, it is sign of ap-
preaching rain. If he rises to a great
height in the air flying either to the
right or to the left, steady, fair weather
may be expected. When a storm is COM
ing, the swallow also rises to ereat
height in the clouds, then he moves
slowly, maiestically; he floats, but does
not fly.
In the spring, when single magpie
leaves its nest, it will rain if the father
and mother leave 1t the same time, it is
sign of fair weather.
The peacock, at the approach of rain,
emits frequent cries.
The woodpecker coos.
The parrot chatters.
The guinea fowl goes to roost.
The goose shows the greatest unrest.
1t flaps its wings and cries, throws itself
into the water, comes and goes, and
makes short flights.
The singing of the cricket indicates
fair weather.

''Guess I won't take in the school
to-day" said Carson urchin with a
newspaper in his hand.
"Why not ?"
"Concordia has fallen off ten cents,
and 1 don't care to show up until il
picks up again"
"What have the fluctuations of Con-
cordia got to do with your studies p
"a good deall ~ answered the boy.
"My teacher has a hundred shares OF
the stock, and when it falls off few
cents We all catch it heavy. 1 keep my
eve on the list, and when there's break

sick. Gollyl how she basted me the

dollars When it was sellin' at twenty
she was as good as pie. / was the first
feller that got on to the break, and told
the boys of my class that if she didn't
sell there'd be the old boy to pay. |
heard Uncle Frazer say it was a good
short, and 1 never slept a wink for a
week. 1 grabbed the newspaper the
first thing every morning, and when l

Johnny Dobson round that morning
I was in hopes that the blasted mine
would pick up, but the water got in the

take turn pretty soon I'm goin' to quit
the public school and go to work on a

A Curious Custom in SYRIA

In Syria people never take Off their
caps or turbans when entering a house
or visiting a friend, but they always
leave their shoes at the door The
reason is that their floors are covered
with clean mats and rugs. and in the
Moslem houses the men kneel ON the
rugs to pray, and press their forekeads
to the floor, SO that it would not be de-
cent or respectful to walk IN with dirty
shoes and soil the SHADY on which they
kneel to pray. They have no foot-mat
or serapers, and it is much simpler and
cheaper to leave the shoes, dirt and al,
at the door. 1t is very curious to go to
the Syrian school-houses and see the
piles of shoes at the door. There are
new, bright red shoes, and old, tattered
shoes, and kob-kobs, and black shoes,
and sometimes yellow shoes. The kob-
kobs are wooden clogs, made to raise
the feet out of the mud and water,
having little strap over the toe to
keep it on the foot You viii often see
little boys and girls running down steps
and paved streets on these dangerous
kob-kobs. Sometimes they slip, and
then down they go on their noses, kob-
kobs fly off and go rattling over the
stones, and little Ali or Yusef, or what
ever his name is, begins to shout ''Ya
imme va imme" ("Oh, my motherl''), },
and cries Just like the little children
in other countries. But the funniest
part is to see the boys when they come
out of school and try to find their shoes.
There will be fifty boys, and, of course,
a hundred shoes, all mixed together in
one pile. When school is ont the boys
make a rush for the door, Then comes
the tug of war. A dozen boys are
standing and shuffiing ON the pile of
shoes, looking down, kicking away the
other shoes, running their toes into
their own, stumbling over the kob-
kobs, and then making a dash to get
out of the crowd. Sometimes shins
viii be kicked and hair pulled, and tar
booshes thrown off, and great scream
ing follow, which viii only cease when
the teacher comes with "Asia," or a
stick, and quells the riot. That pile of
shoes viii have to answer for good
many school-boy fights, and bruised
noses and hard feelings in Syria. You
will wonder how they can tell their own
shoes. So do l. And the boys often
wear off each others shoes by mistake
or on purpose, and then you will see
Selim running with one shoe on and one
of Ibrahim's in his hand, shouting and
cursing Ibrahim's father and grand
father until he gets back his lost prop
erty.
