The temperature of 90 to 100 de
grees Fair. continued for 80 to 80
hours under the tobacco, induces slight
fermentation, expands the leaf cells
and starts the sap to the surface, when
evaporation commences in earnest.
The vegetable acids, acting on the
starch, glucose and albumenoids, pro-
duce at first slight fermentation
somewhat after the ripening of an ap-
pie or pear, and causes change of
color in the leaf, superinduced by the
same reasons or agencies which induce
change in the color of ripening APP
pie or pear.
In the chemical changes produced
in the inciplent curing stages-the yell
lowing of the leaves-sugar is formed,
ammonia evolved and chloryphyl
changed into xanthyne. Now, if the
temperature is raised slowly at this
stage of the drying process, SO as not
to oxidise the organic properties in the
leaf, the color is preserved till the leaf
is dried. But too rapidly advancing
temperature causes oxidation and dis
coloring, or rather reddening Of the
leaf, sometimes to the extent of scald-
ing-virtually cooking it. And SO, if
the heat is not properly advanced and
o1,,rtol or1 lon u
continued, the yellow color fades into
brown. To SO regulate the color by
heat as to catch and fix it in the leaf
while the sap is being expelled and the
leaf dried, is the science of curing vel
low tobacco.
What is termed sweating" during
the curing process, is the accumula-
ton of sap, driven by the heat to the
surface of the leaves more rapidly than
the ventilation will enable the hot dry
air to absorb. And whenever thi:
condition occurs the experienced curel
knows it results from inadequate OF
imperfect ventilation. For, whenever
the ventilation is properly adjusted
there will be no sweating the current
of warm or hot dry air induced by the
draft will take up-absorb-the mois
ture thrown to the surface as fast as i
is evolved.
"Sponging" is produced by oxida
ton caused by fermentation too long
continued, and indicates the incipien
stage of what is called "house- burn,
"pole-sweat" Or &c barn-road." Prope
ventilation as we'll as heat, is necessar,
to SO dry the leaf, without sweating o
sponging, as to catch and fix the vel
low color. Tobacco cured with
slight green color, which disappear
before it is sent to market, is the fash
ionable color for fancy stock.

Money and Character.
peciaI correspondence OF the Gold Leaf.

Special correspondence OF the Gold Leaf.
Beyond everything else there is one
thing which gives it's supreme value
to money. 1t is a thing which is
not usually considered in mems estimate
of the value of money. And yet it is a
factor of immense Importance in the true
conception of a universal medium of ex-
change. That thing is character, or
moral worth. A dollar is worth a great
deal more to good man than to bad
man. To a good man it is help to
make him better; to a bad man it is
quite likely to be a help to make him
worse. With it the good man purchases
something useful; the bad man some
thing hurtful. The good mans money is
a source OF beneicence to himself, his fam
lily and his neighborhood; the bad mans
money helps on the evil things around
him, and increases his power and infu-
ence for evil. Wealthy good men keep up
the good institutions of society; wealthy
bad men keep up the evil things of So
ciety. Money in good mems hands sup
ports schools, churches, improvements !;
money in bad men s hands supports drink
ing, gambling and wicked wastefulness.
Good men are spending Immense sums
v
men are spending largely to tempt, de-
Jude and destroy the young.
This makes it clear that it is good
character that gives the highest value to
money. If the young would have money
to serve them well, let them learn that
first they should have good characters.
They should first covet the riches of mind
and heart-the virtues that will make a
good use of money
What rs money worth to the spend
thrift, the rake, the drunkard? 1t only
helps him to be worse himself and to lead
Others into his own bad ways. Beyond
what is needful to supply his actual ne
eessities, it is a curse to him. Then good
and useful as money is, and desirable as
1t is to have it, let it be distinctly under
stood that there is something better
which we ought to have with our money,
and before we have money, that is the
wisdom and worth to use it WE'LL
Another thing should be written right
here which is, that the best use to which
money can be put, and for which it should
be sought, is the Improvement of moral
characteristic wisdom and worth which
make and which adorn a home and which
carry health and harmony and happi-
ness into the community. Every one
wants home and to have it pleasant,
useful and happy-a comfort, blessing
and a Joy TO its inmates-to have it so,
money must be expended upon it. Money
so spent is elevating in its use-is charac-
ter-building, ul-quickening, Money put
into the souls OF parents and children.

TOBACCO CRUMBS.
Some Notes of Interest to the Trade.

The tobacco grown this year in North
Carolina is unusually light, chaffy and
of brightest color, almost white. The
rich golden yellow has failed to con-
siderable extent, and there is very
small supply of wrappers and filters.
But even the white chaffy stuff brings
enormous prices. The area of tobac-
CO raising is widening each year.
Franklin, Nash and Edgecombe are
trying their hands at this fourishing
crop. Nash is particularly successful
The future will show whether it equals
Granville and Vance and the best sec
tons of Orange, Person and Caswell
or no. As we have said, in these col
umns, there are Granville planters
who make often $500 and sometimes
5000 or $500 to the acre and $1,000
or more to each hand they work.
Whether or no Nash will do that will
be seen hereafter. We hope it will be
able to show the very highest results.

Below is given an extract from Mai.
r. L. Ragland's letter to H. E. Ed
mondson, of South Boston, Va, as
printed in the Cincinnati Tobacco
Journal Maj. Ragland has been ex-
perimenting in crossing white burly
and bright yellow varieties, and thinks
he has succeeded in developing a hy-
brid that will be of great value to east
ern sections. The remarks of SO sue
Cessful a scotsman should have weight.
He says elf | can succeed in de-
veloping a variety possessing the most

SELECTING TOBACCO SEED. ..1
Tobacco seed, SO far as possible,
should always be grown on fresh lands,
or on such as have not previously pro-
duced this crop for seed within five
years. Select seed plants possessing
the best form of the earliest and thrift
lest, and discard all wanting in proper
development, texture and other essen
tial desirable qualities, according to
type. Trim off the side panicles of all

religious culture is money invested where
it will pay the highest dividends.
Young people too often think OF trifing
pleasures when they think of what they
want money for. Better far think OF Its
higher uses of what it may do for mind,
character Manhood for home, country !;
the world for faith, peace, eternal life.
There are things which it will help to
which are not perishing but which are
allied to the divine, immortal and glo-
rious things of God and Heaven. Money
used to promote these is sacred.
Let the use of money be thoughtful
study with all who need it, and it will
serve us better and enrich us more.

These still September nights,
Ride red in heaven, while dust clouds mar
Their soft rejecting lights.
The cicada, and cricket clear
Make melody the while,
As tho dame Autumn halted there
Somewhere beyond the stile
And sang a shrilly mOnody,
Not vet a-sob with tears;
The brightest queen since June IS sweet tide,
Among the clustered freres.

Burns.
There are few Scotchmen who are
not cogn'zant of the fact that the birth
day of the Scottish poet, Robert Burns
occurs on January the 25th, and there
are few in Utah that pay more respect
to his memory than does our neighbor-
ing city, American Fork. For nearly
twenty years the people of that burg
have met annually to celebrate the an .
niversary of the genius of song, ana
judging from the great interest that was
made manifest at the Burns Anniver-
sary, held this week in American Fork,

A Reason for the Fourth.

On another stand, says the Atlanta
Journal, was a long pan in which was an
old-time gingercake, blackish brown in
color, and smelling loudly of soda and
sorghum.
When the rain came the tent leaked
above the pan.
The ginger cake began swelling, and
IN half an hour it had risen so high that
1t looked like a single wardrobe OF
mahogany laid Oh its back Oh the shelf.
A regular Fourth of July darky stood
glazing sorrowfully upon the risen mass
OF "Spiled" sweetness.
He was an old man, a sage among his
people. He wore the regulation black
suit, secondhand and faded, while his
head was adorned with broken-down
beaver hat that had done service in the
ante-bellum days.
The old man sighed very audibly as
journal reporter came up.

the reporter.

Just then another shower came up and
the old darby hobbled off to take shelter
under one corner Of friendly tent.
There are many negroes in the South
who celebrate the Fourth with no other
idea of what tits than the one interviewed
above. They know it is a day of rest,
gingercakes, apple pies, red lemonade
and soda water, and that is sufficient
for them.
