hundred pounds net, taking care not
to press the tobacco so as to bruise it,
or pack it too closely together. The
best leaf is wanted for wrappers, and it
must open easily when shaken in the
hand. Pack one grade only in each
tlerce, uniform in color and length :;
but if it becomes necessary to put more
than one grade in a tierce, place strips
OF paper or straw between to mark and
separate them. Pack honestly, for
honesty is always the best policy. The
man who "nests" his tobacco will GER
tainly go on the "Black List" and
buyers have good memories.
If your tobacco is fine, sound and
nicely handled, you'll have the salts

To be always finding fault makes
person very disagreeable in the eyes of
his friends.
Selhshness is the meanest and most
contemplate of all vices, truthfully re-
marks an exchange.
Many people express positive opin-
ions when they really don't know
what they are talking about.
Providence effects a good many
cures, but if you notice you will find
that a doctor always sends in the bill.
1t strikes us that Dame Rumor is
getting pretty we'll up in years. Yet
years make no discount upon her rec
ord.
Whatever else may be wrong, it
must be right to be pure-to be just
and tender, and merciful and honest.

All kinds of snakes are reported
plentiful this season, says an exchange.
We're SO glad were afraid the crop
was going to be short.
When the number of people who do
not work or earn their own living is
considered, ii is not surprising that
those who do work should complain of
hard times.
Life is not SO short but that there is
always time enough for courtesy, says
Emerson. True; but what a large
per cenfage of humanity fail to realize
the fact
Don't believe that everybody else is
happier than you are. You'll wake up
some fine morning with well-defned
case of dyspepsia if you encourage
such broodings.
Don't worry and fret over small
matters. There'll be a sufficiency of
colossal matters to worry you in earn

little affair known as life.
Ii the great change from the vigor
and buoyancy Of youth to the languor
and infrmities of age, overcame us in
an hour or a day, it would break the
strongest heart. Time robs us of our
youth gradually and by stealth, mot un-
like the manner ir which the sneaking
tariff robs us OF our earnings.
This, pre-eminently, is the age of
materialism, and of wonderful material
progress; when it is overpast, as some
day it will be, the age OF spiritualism
and Of spiritual progress will be ushered
in; and glorious age it will be.
I'VE may not live to see the day,
But earth will brighten in the raw
OF the good time coming"
As we of this world are wholly ig.
norant of the relation which the So
called dead bear toward the living, we
should continue to love those, who, in
life have been dear to us as friends, and
to fear those who have been our enc
mics. 1t is not the part of wisdom to
rejoice at the death of an enemy, or to
pursue him beyond the grave with this
worlds animosity.

The Cause OF Poor Health

Is often found in the neglect of ones
own self. A light cold or slight head
ache is treated as not requiring much
attention; the assumption being that
they will soon pass of, and it is only
when case of full-hedged sickness de-
velops Itself that the consequences of
that neglect are fully realized. AS a
preventive and positive cure for Conghs,
Colds, Hoarseness, Splitting OF blood,
Asthma, Pains in the Chest and first
stages Of consumption, use Eilert's Ex-
tract of Tar and Wild Cherry. and for
sick Headache, Torpid Liver, Dys-
pepsia, Nervousness and all Bilious
Complaints, use Eilert's Daylight Liver
Pills. Both are guaranteed.

CHICAGO, Aug. IA. = At Tuesday
nights meeting of the worlds fair di.

dent and general superintendent of the
Western Union Telegraph company,

an iron founding firm, were chosen di~

designations Of Directors John r. Walsh
and John Colvin.
II transpired that the report of Land

doubts upon the availability of jackson
park as a site for the fair, was not the
only blow which the site question re-
ceivel last night, but that new and
grave questions regarding the availa-
hility of the lake front We're also brought
up.
Ihe News says On this subject:
THE committee ON buildings and
grounds reported that the Illinois Cen
trail company had refused to enter into
any agreement to reimburse the direc-
tors for money expended in making
ground ON the lake front in the event
that the pending litigation should be de-
Si"OU "a V"o COMPANY AaNoi, any az
ton of the company is not final, how
ever, and the committee was instructed
to continue its negotiations. Some of
the directors regard the company's re-
fusal as an attempt to force COM
promise and settlement of the litiga-
ton.
Furthermore, according to accounts
printed this morning, it is not at all
certain that Secretary Proctor will per-
NIT the filling in of the lake front out Of
the government breakwater, as it is pro-
posed, as it would destroy the only har
Dor of refuge between Waukegan and
South Chicago, and would necessitate
the expenditure of additional large sums
by the government for the construction
of another harbor on the lake front at a
less desirable and less accessible noint. y
