is to kill them by hand. As they work
in the night and disappear before day
light, various devices are used to keep
them congregated about the hills in the
daytime, when they are easily destroyed.
Then comes the worst enemy of all, the
so'calIed tobacco worm, which is pro.
duced from the eggs of the "Hornblow.
er The best method for Kidding the
heIds from this pest, is to destroy the
hon'b blower before the eggs are laid. For
this, common way is to take the bios
sons OF the jamestown weed, sometimes
called Jimson weed, of which the horn.
blowers are very fond, and drop into
them mixture made Of one ounce of
cobalt dissolved in one pint of water and
sweclened with syrup. To be eifectual
this must be done all over the neighbor-
hood, as they fly over large spaces. But
every one killed prevents certain
amount of eggs being laid A more
modern remedy, and one which is meet
ing much approval, is a lamp, invented
and patented by man in Kentucky,
which is said to attract and kill them If
any eggs are hatched, it will render a
weekly examination necessary, to watch
for their appearance. In Some sections
turkeys are trained to go over the fields,
row by row, and gather the worms,
which they eat very greedily.

The seed of Cuban tobacco is sold in
New York by the importers at 81 per
pound, and it takes about one ounce to
grow 100, 900 plants. The yield per acre
will depend much upon the season. Civ
en- suitable soil and climate, a liberal
use Of fertilizers, with intelligent cultiva-
ton, and yield of 1900 pounds of cured
tobacco can be made per acre.
The seed should be sown as early as
the season will permit, during the months
of January or February, not later than
the 1st of March. An open space, on a
hill side sloping to the south or southeast,
should be cleared in the woods, to which
the sun can have free access, and the
wood brush and roots be burned on the
patch This is important, as it not only
kills the wild seeds to certain depth,
but the ashes convey the much needed
potash to the soil. The patch should
stand, after burning, until rain has fallen.
Never use wet or cold land. After the
rain, the soil should not be turned over,
but the plant-bed made thoroughly fine
by repeated choppings and rakings Then
mix the tobacco seed with a fertilizer
| rich in potash, Tor, in default of this
with sifted hard wood ashes, using two
tabespoonfuls of seed to twenty five Or
thirty pounds Of fertilizer for every one
hundred square yards, and SOW the mix
ture on the surface, brushing it in light
ly. 1t is the smallest of all farm seeds,
and if covered too deep it will not ger
inmate. The bed should be moist, but
not wet Protection by brush will gen
orally keep it moist. 1t is not well to
water it except during drought. The
best fertilizer, or rather the one most in
use by the tobacco growers of Virginia,
is the anchor brand Tobacco Fertilizer, "
! for top dressing.
When the plants are four or five inches
high, they should be transplanted in
hills, made on ground previously pre-,
pared with stable manure, (Which should
be done in the fall to enable the manure
to become thoroughly incorporated with
the soil in the hill), stable manure being
better than any fertilizer for this service
Cultivation should commence as soon as
the plants begin to spread over the hills
with plow or cultivator, and the ground
stirred frequently to keep down the grass
and weeds, and when too much spread
for the plow to work freely, only hoe,
should be used.
The cutting and curing is the same as
for the native tobacco the curing being
by artificial heat, with water on The
premises sufficient to keep up moist at
mosphere.
The first enemy that is encountered is
the ne2- beetle, with attacks the young
plants. Any of the insecticides whicl
are in common use, will destroy these
the Pyrethrum powder being probabl,
the most efficient; but some growers soal
rags in kerosene. and place them il
ground plaster for some hours, and thel
spread the plaster on the plants.
The next enemy is the common Gu

pest, is to plow up the ground in winte

The wonderful stories told of grain
which had been made to grow after hay
ing lain dormant for thousands of years
in the hands of mummies, do not seem to
have any foundation in fact. Mr.. II. X.
Parks states in the Journal of Science
that he has investigated all the cases he
can fird. and shows that there is not a
single authenticated instance of corn
found in a mummy having been grown.
Some OF the seeds found in mummies
have germinated, but as they produced
plants--oats, for instance-not known to
the Arabs of 3,OOO years ago, it seems
evident that they were Systematically put
IN the hands Of the mummies by the

How Many Hours for Sleep.

There is an old saying that has fright
cned a great many people from taking
the rest that nature demanded for them.
Mine hours are enough for n fool. +"
They may be; and not too many for q
wise man who feels that he needs them
Goethe, when performing hi, most pro-
digious literary feats. felt that he needed
nine hours; what is better, he took them.
We presume it is conceded by all thought
full persons that the brain in very young
children, say three or four years of age,
requires all of twelve hours in rest or
sleep. This period is shortened gradu-
ally until, at fourteen years of age, the
body is found TO need only ten hours.
When full grown and in a healthy con-
dition the man may find a night of eight
hours sufficient to repair the exhaustion
of the day and new create him for the
morrow. But If he discovers that he
needs more sleep he should take it.
There is surely something wrong about
him; perhaps forgotten waste must be
repaired. His sleep, evidently, has not
been made up, and until it has and he
can spring to his work with an exhilara-
ton for it he should sensibly conclude to
let his instinct control him and stay in

THE PAN-ELECTRIC INVESTI-
CATION.
Reasons Why the "Confederates" Feel
Uneasy,

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-The Hanback,
resolution adopted by the House ycster-
day does not provide for an investiga-
ton of the Pan Electric scandal such as
is demanded by public opinion, yet there
are indications that some of the Pan
Electric confederate" are uneasy on
account of the mild inquiry proposed.
They fear that the spirit of investigation
aroused in the House may extend to the
Senate, and that the items of appropria,
ton for the Department of Justice will
provoke public discussion disagrecable
to them and disastrous to the Admins
tration. Whatever doubt may exist re-
specting the propriety of an investigation
by the House of the relations of execu-
tive officers to the Pan Electric Telephone
and Telegraph combinations, there can
be no such doubt regarding the necessi
ty of an investigation by the Senate of
allegations against member Of that body
on account of his relation to that combi-
nation. Senator Harris of Tennessee, has
been from the beginning an active Pan
Electric confederate. lie was one of
the original corporators of both Pan
Electric and Pan Electric Telephone com
