A Cadiz, Spain. correspondent to the
Springfield Republican, under recent date
writes as follows: 1.-THE tobacco factory is
one Of the sights of Seville The government
monopolizes the tobacco business and the
factory is an extensive structure guarded by
soldiers. Five thousand five hundred
women are employed in the building, and
there are three thousand OF them in one
room, making cigars and cigarettes. The
room is low, with huge columns of masonry
and arched overhead, and is said to be ex-
cessively hot in summer. The women all
change their clothes when they commence
their work, and the display of bright colored
garments hanging all about the place is a
curious feature. Many Of these cigarreras
are very handsome and somewhat impertin-
ent. Those who have ''olive branches" have
cradles for their accommodation, and rock
their children to sleep while busy making
cigarettes. The women all work by the
piece, and those who make cigars earn about
forty or fifty cents day, while those who
make cigarettes earn only about thirty cents
day by steady work"

Cost of Divorce in England.

1t is evident from the remarks of an Eng
lish Justice who was recently called upon
to sentence man for bigamy, and whose
first wife ran off with a hawker, that
divorce is more expensive business in
England than it is in America. Said he to
the culprit: II will tell you what you
ought to have done, and if you say you did
not know, will tell you that the law con-
clusively presumes that you did. You ought
to have instructed your attorney to bring an
action against the hawker for criminal con-
versation with your wife. That would have
cost you about 91O0 When you had
recovered substantial damages against the
hawker, you would have instructed your
proctor to sue in the ecclesiastical courts for
divorce mensa ct thoro. That would cost
you G2O0 or e300 more. When you had
obtained a divorce mensa ct horo, you
would have to appear by counsel before the
House of Lords for divorce cinculo mat
rimonii. The bill might have been opposed
in all its stages in both houses of Parlia-
ment; and altogether you would have to
spend about e1,OO0 or 1900. You will
probably tell me that you never had 1000
fathings of your own in the world but,
prisoner, that makes no difference. Sitting
here as British Judge, it is my duty to
tell you that this is not country in which
there is one law for the rich and another for
the poor.

What He Meant.
Detroit Free Press.l

Detroit free treSS.
In suit before Detroit justice the other
day, the defendant desired to prove that his
financial standing was solid, and when his
witness had taken the stand and testified
that the defendant enjoyed the reputation Of
promptly paying his debts, the opposing
counsel asked
"Mr Blank, you say you consider Mr.
White perfectly good?
"Yes, sir"
IF he owed you $50 you'd expect to re-
ceive it when due ?'
"Yes, sir"
If he should ask you for the loan of $2a
you'd hand it right out 2"
Yves, sir"
"Very well-very well. Mr. White ask
the witness for loan of $25.
'Mr. Blank, loan me the sum named, !,
said the defendant, as he, reached out his
hand.
Mr.. Blank grew red and pale by turns,
hitched around like a boy on carpet-tack,
and finally replied:
What meant to say was that I'd lend
you S25 on first mortgage on about $1,000
worth of real estate! Make ont your pa-
pers."

they went into a saloon. Jem drank, and
slipped away, leaving the politician to pay
for the drink. Shortly the politician again
met the Irishman, and said:
"Now know I'll thrash You. You scan-
dalized me, and then drank at my expense"
Colonel" said Jem, solemnly, "I'm in
great distress, and it wouldn't look well for

Jem, turning to an old acquaintance, re-
marked:

Helena, Montana, Thursday, June 28 1888.
A Winter.Summ m er.

The back wardness of the season recalls to
the very oldest inhabitants the memorable
winter-summer of 1916. January and Feb
ruary were unusually pleasant but were
followed by cold March. April came III
like a lamb but went out like a raging lion,
and May was so cold that ice formed an inch
thick. Farmers planted their fields repeat.
edly only to lose the seed, and work was
done in overcoat and mittens as in mid
winter. Snowstorms were frequent in June
violent one beginning on the 18th; and
Vermont farmer who went out in the morn,
ing to drive in his sheep from the pasture
lost his way, and was found the next day
partly buried in the snow, with both feet
frozen Most of the fruit was killed, and
farmers kindled fires in their gardens and
corn fields to keep off the frost.
In July ice was formed on the brooks and
ponds of all the Northern States. The frosts
killed most Of the little corn that had been
tempted to put forth. August was still
more dreary, and at the end Of the month
snow fell at Barnett, forty miles from Lon
don. All Northern Europe was frozen up
and every green thing was blighted. Sep
tember had fortnight of pleasant weather,
and winter begun in October. The prices OF
provisions doubled. Flour sold in this city
for $14 barrel, when the year before it was
only S.. Northern Europe was almost fam
inc strickened, and bread riots occurred in all
parts of Great Britain. 1t took five years to
recover from that terrible season. One OF
its effects in this country was to give the
first marked impetus to Western immigra-
ton. The people Of New England, who
had lost so much and suffered so terribly
heard with excited longings and expecta-
tions of the rich, warm valley of the Ohio,
where the winter was only six weeks long.
Farms were sold at half their former value,
and the exodus began, families starting off
in great wagons, loaded with the necessary
household articles, drawn sometimes by
oxen, the other cattle being driven on be-
fore. Thousands Of these people got weary
on the way and settled down in Western
and their descendants are
found in every city and town between the
Hudson and Lake Erie. They gave North
ern Ohio basis of New England population.
And that winter summer wave of emigra-
tion has deepened into stream which has
poured invaluable elements into every new
State and Territory of the Union.

MASKS AND FACES.

The stage was bright, ihe plaudits rang,
The play was nearly DER;
With happy voice the player sang
Love is for evermoren'
she never sang or looked so fair"
The people whispered low;
Eut the real tale of the woman there
Nobody cared TO know.
The circus crowd was gay and glad,
And loud the whirling ring;
Huzza the rider rode like mad.
AS jocund as king.
Huzzal to watch him laugh and leap,
They cheered him high and low;
Bnt the tears that lay III his bosom deep
Nobody cared to know.
And we all are players for our day,
On the stage of life we fare,
Each with his little part to play,
Each with his mask to wear,
And what is real It's vain to aek,
And what is only show;
For what lies hidden behind the mask
Only ourselves may know.

The San Francisco COnclave.
New York Sun. |

New York Sun.
Brooklyn has had its bridge opening, Gin
cinnati its dramatic festival, Nashville its
military tournament, Saratoga its religious
anniversaries, in Chicago the Railway expo
sition is under way, and now San Francisco
is preparing to take her share in the NUM-
cipal shows of the year by welcoming to her
hospitality the Triennial Conclave Of the
Knights Templar. These conclaves have
gradually increased in Importance until they
have passed into the rank of public pageants,
independently of their special interest to
their own members. Indeed, when it is
considered that about fifty communicates
are to take part in the San Francisco dis
play; that four thousand Knights are to 60
from the East, thus swelling the number of
those on the Pacific coast to eight or ten
thousand that many of these Templars will
be accompanied by their wives and children
and that visitors will throng to the show
from all quarters, it is not surprising to learn
that the local lodges expect to spend hun
dred thousand dollars on the affair, and that
the accommodations of the city will be
strained to the utmost. Such we'll known
commandeIies as the Apollo of Bos-
ton, the Ascalon of st. Louis, the Damascus
Of st. Paul, the Rapier of Indiana, the Colum-
bia Of Washington, and, in fact, Grand Com
manderies from as far east as Maine and as far
south as Alabama will send their represent
atives to this August conclave. Besides the
review, the procession, and the competitive
drill, there will be excursions and other
noteworthy entertainments. The street
decorations are to be costly and abundant,
and the five prizes or trophies for excellence
in drill are of an intrinsic value far exceed
ing any before offered at these triennial gath
erings. Looking at the many and successful
pageants and shows of various sorts held by
American cities during the past few years, it
is evident that this taste for municipal dis
plays, to which the people of the whole
country are welcomed, steadily increases.
Undoubtedly the great growth of the popu
lation, with the influx of Europeans who
are accustomed to frequent festivals and
holidays, has had an influence in this direc-
ton; while another important element in
producing the result has been the extension
of railroad facilities, which enables city to
collect a host of visitors from all the regions
about, and to rapidly return them to their
homes, without great cost of time or money
to itself or its guests
