To Make New Tobacco Appear Three
Years Old.
From the Pitts6ur0 Times.


One OF the latest tricks in the tobacco trade
is the artificial resweating of the weed TO
meet the popular craze for dark colored CT
gars. This craze arises from the false i'm
preston that because all good cigars are dark
coored, all dark -colored cigars are good. The
ground taken for this latter m preston is that
the dark colol is an indication that the tObac-
co has been naturally sweated through about
three summers, and has thus reached the
perfection Of flavor.
The color was formerly an indication that
this was the fact, but it is no longer, for the
increased demand for tobacco OF the reoutaite
age caused manufacturers TO ind a way of
aging 1t, or giving It the appearance of age,
artiicially. This was at first done by paint
ing, but speedier and more Wholesale pro-
cess has been introduced within the last three
or four years called resweating The fact
that tobacco sweats is well known. The first
summer after II IS cut, tobacco sweats very
heavily, 50 that IL can be twisted and tied in a
knot like some "kil me quick" tob es The
third summer II sweats much less, and the
next summer the sweat is hardly noticeable
After each summers sweat the leaf assumes
a darker color, until IL reaches the hue OF the
best Havana brands.
In order to resweat tobacco the box 10
opened and the leaf ''cased." or dampened
one hand or layer at time, by dipping it
IN water. The tobacco Is then repaCked in
the box and the box placed IN a steam tight
receptacle few inches from the floor. A let
of steam rises through the floor OF this chest
right underneath the box, and the steam ia
two hours, producing rs Drofuse sweat AS
that OF a fat man running w hill with the
thermometer at 100 deg. IN the shade. The
box Is then lHken out aud the tobacco shaken
out and allowed to cool on. II Is then re.
packed and Is ready for use Great care has
to be exercised after Revealing tobacco to
prevent 1t from becoming VI Idly. 10 is

XIII the mold. Here is probable explRna-
ton OF some OF the inebriating effects OF some
clgars. The tobacco must al ways have passed
through one summers natural sweat before
be ng resweated.
This process ages the tobacco three or four
years, but whether it increases the quality
proporiionately is an oscp question with the
trade. Some say that, as resweating has the
same enect as the natural sweat. Revealing
TOBACCO Is perfectly equal to that which has
ageo naturally. Others say that IL njures tho

From London Truth,

The other day, in pOklng about in a bric-a-
brac shop, L fell upon curious object Of
virtu. 1t was the looking glass presented to
the EmpCror of China by George Ill, through
Lord Mccartney, The construction is anaio-
gOus to that of toilet mirror, such as beau
ties in the early part of the century used to
sit before when sticking black patches on
their rOuged faces. The frame is in carved
ebony of fine grain, ard is fastened to a
stand with drawers in the same wood. | never
saw glass of finer quality. The plate is about
the size OF quartO page, and Is DeYeed at
the edge, which is surrounded by an orna-
ment of git bronze formed by serpentine
lines lntersectlng each other at REGULAR dis
tances. At the back of the mirror, which is
made to swing round, there is an enamelled
painting on porcelain the SIZE of the glass
representing agriculture seated on a rock,
overlooking generous country like that Wis.,
ible from Richmond Hill. / have in point

set portrait, also on porcelain. of George
III, with, behind it, another of a lady who
take to be the Princess Dowager of Wales.
The King is very young, and the face, which
gives me the impression of a truthful portrait
is fair, ingenious, an1 yet with q kind Of Turk
ing syness which one often sees in the physi-
oguomles or half Germans. 1t is made upof big
blue eyes on the surface and rather engaging
thick, heavy nose of the aquline type and
full lips. Chin and forehead fly back, phe
hair Is powdered and friZZed, and the coat is
of white silk with gold facings. A lace frill
falls over the blue ribbon OF the garter The

The price asked for it was 0,000 rubles.

From the Boston Rerqld (IRd.}
A Democratic Congressman from Alabama
IN explaining his vote against the Morrison

ana Tree fish to-day mean free iron ore, free
mineral substances in the crude state and
metals unwrought, free coal aud free coke to-
morrow" Somuch the better. II our manu-
tactureTs were relieved of the enhanced cost
occaslohed by taxes upon these materials,
they, ana the farmers as well, could get their
machinery cheaper, railroads could be built
al less expense, our surplus products could be
sofa abroad, and the poor would get their fuel
81 less cost. The argument OF the Congress

England's New Ministry.

The prospect that Lord Salisbury's gov
eminent will remain in power long is not
very promising. 1t will have to depend
upon the Liberal Unionists for support
upon every important occasion, and this
support may desert it at any moment.
Lord Harrington, speaking for the Liberal
UnionIsts, said that the government could
depend upon them In all cases where the
issue was the maintenance ana the in
tegrity of the empire, and that they would
give every government measure for the
redress Of grievances in Ireland most
careful consideration. The Liberal
Unionists are really in a position to die
tate TO the Salisbury government, and
unless the Conservatives are willing to
accept such dictation the chances are
that they will soon be out of power. But
even with the support OF the Liberal
Unionists very little can be accomplished
if the minority is united and aggressive.
and that it Will be so there is no reason to
doubt Something will have to be done at
once with the Irish question, and il is
about impossible to see how this question
can be handled and yet preserve harmony
between the Conservatives and Liberal
UnIouists. IL would not be surprising if
there should be another appeal to the
country within few months, and il there
is it is pretty certain that tho Gladstone
party Will be returned TO power. Not
withstanding the Conservative victory
home rule may be much nearer being a
fact tnan it is generally suspected OF
being.

Stannard answered: "To ask and accept a

an act that an honorable soldier would
scorn."
Jackson turned on his staff officer and gave
HIM severe scolding, saying the repetition
of such an insult to prisoner would, cost him
his place, Then turning 10 Col. Stannard,

residence OF the deceased was made by a
re porter. A knock upon tae door was
responded to by a very aged looking and
decrepit negress hobbling along with the
aid Of cane. The woman proved TO be
the daughter OF the deceased. She is "a
years OF age, and IS the youngest of six
children by the first wife. The face Of the
dead man was greatly emacisted, the
cheeks and eyes were sunken and the skin
was shriveled. The man g relatives claim
that he remembered all about the Revolu-
tionary war, the signing OF the treaty of
peace between the United States and
Great Britain, and the death Of Gen.
Washington.

The South Carolina Convention.


The South Carolina State Convention
meets ON Wednesday of next week to
nominate full State ticket. There has
been no canvass made by any of the can
didates for the office of Governor, or for any
of the other Offices. In fact, no one has an
nounced himself as q candidate for Gov
ernor, although several gentlemen are
known TO be hopeful of getting the nomi-
nation. They have been invited to state
their views upon the leading State and
national questions, but have considered
it wiser to maintain absolute silence.
The farmers movement hasn't died out
by any means. IL is probably stronger to-
day than it has been at any time since it
was inaugurated. The leader of it, Capt.
Is. II. Tillman, is reported as saying that
the farmers will control the convention,
and as he controls the farmers tits not i'm
probable that he will have good deal TO

of the Democratic party as it is for the

promote the agricultural interests. The

interests have been ignored too long IN
South Carolina, and that the time has
come for them to receive special attention.
They haven't very clear idea OF what
sort of legislation would benefit them.
