Troubles Of . Tobacco r,anr.

after the growth has been fairly started
the troubles of the young plant begin.
1t has to be as carefully watched as the
youngest baby of the household, and the
planter must of necessity be q most
from late frosts and that arch enemy, the
worm. This ever present worm Is the
only living thing Of the insect or animal
kingdom, with the single exception Of
man. that relishes the seductive weed.
frequently they destroy entire fields three
or four times, and the planter host Of the
writer told him Of an instance where Q
field in his plantation had to be reset
half dozen times. The Virginia worm is
long, round and green, with smooth
skin, protruding eyes and numerous legs.
1t keeps pace In its growth with the
plant. When the latter IL small SO Is the
enemy, and as it grows so does the worm,
until it reaches q length of three or four
inches and the thickness of the index
finger. When the plant Is small and
tender the delight of the worm is TO eat
through the stalk, bringing it to the
ground, but after it reaches any size 1t
contents itself with eating great holes in
the leaves.
It is the chief work of the pickaninnies
(children of the plantation to keep the
plants free from worms. Two or three
times week they go up one row and
down another, carefully looking under
every leaf in the hunt. Now snd then
you will hear a joyous "ki-yi" come from
the direction of some woolly headed
worker, and you may know that 1t sounds
the death knell Of an unusually large pest.
In slavery days, as now, the hunt was
carried on with the greatest vigor and the
punishment visited on the unfortunate
youngster who failed to capture every
worm in his allotted district was to make
him bite the repulsive reptile in two.
This is tradition, however, and must be
relegsted to the Uncle Tom period of our
literature. But the pickaninny also had
his reward. The miller" q large white
moth, is responsible for the tobacco worm.
1t is exceedingly prolific and sometimes
deposits as many as a hundred eggs In .
single night. The planter gives reward
of five cents for every miller" captured,
and on bright moonlight nights. when
they are most numerous. you can see the
young darkies moving stealthily about
the fields on still hunt for scalps.-R.

There was no one at Roper's eawmiil

Yes, said the lockman, leaning at an

great beam with his back. 1T begins
here. and 1t runs all the way to Florida. :"
This was true, in way. The whole
southern coast is msrgined by swamp
lands; but the Dismal Swamp is not Of
them. 1t is high land instead of low
land; its water is fresh, instead Of salt
or brsckish. Among swsmps it is an alb

contains its own moisture, like . bowl.

IMPROVING MAIL FACILITIES.
What Is Contemplated by Post
master Lee for This City.


The act of congress which provides
for the limitation of a lettef-carrier's
days work to eight hours is supposed to
take effect July /, but it will be two
weeks or more after that time before
the authorities in st. Paul will be ready
for the new arrangement: Postmaster
Lee has just forwarded to Washington
statement of the additional number of
letter carriers he will need.
The average length of a carriers days
work Is nine hours and twenty-ejght
minutes, and there are fifty-three men
to do this work. In shortening up. the
hours Of labor an increase of nine ear
rlerS Will be required and this has been
asked for, with six additional to give
better service where it is poor now. If
the city gets the number asked for. the
force will reach SiXty-seven, and if only
those are allowed provided in tile bill,
there will be siXty-two.
The change will necessitate a good
deal of work for the local .poSt0ffiee
authorities. for the entire city will have
to be rcdistricted and each carriers
route shortened up.
Another thing that will delay putting
on the additional force ,;-:..'se..-
IS THE LACK OF ROOM. -
AT present there are not accommoda-
tons for nine more men. The post
master says it is useless to ask to- have
another room fitted up now, because the
authorities will ask where are your
additional menw After permission has
been received to increase the force it
will be time enough to attend to such
details. The new men, however, can
he utilized while that is being done.
When the force is increased. the new
men will be selected from: those who
stood highest on the list of eligfbles.
who have passed the civil service ex-
animation. - .-'-''-'. - = 80
Postmaster Lee says the work of the
office is steadily on the increase. This
is estimated by the sale of stamps. The
amount received from that source for
the several months of 1888 shows an in
crease over the corresponding months
OF 1887 of from Is to 90 per cent. The
average sale of stamps amounts to
about $1,000 day, which represents the
daily mailing of $4,000 letters.
