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
tierce, uniform in color and length !;
but if it becomes necessary to put more
than one grade in tierce, place strips
Of paper or straw between to mark and
separate them. Pack honestly, for
honesty is always the best policy. The

A GRAND SIGHT.
Brilliant Battle of the ClOuds-Old
Sol Peeps Over the Field.
lDanville Register. ]

IDanville Register.J
Those who failed on account of
fright or for any other cause to witness
the battle of the elements which took
place just over the city last evening
between f and 7 o'clock, missed a
grand spectacular free show which may
never be offered again in this latitude.
Four black and angry clouds started
from the Eastern, Western, Northern
and Southern horizons at the same
time. Each had its artillery in readi-
ness for work and all were in rapid
motion.
AS the clouds came rushing onward,
peals of thunder from one was answer
ed by louder peals from the next, and
vivid flashes of lightning from one
were followed quickly by equally as
brilliant sheets and flashes from the
others.
Thus they came on, seemingly mad
dened by the anger, one of the other,
until finally they met squarely over the
city. Then for fully fifteen minutes
such a spectacle as was witnessed from
Danville windows was never before
seen-not even by the Oldest inhabi-
tant. The instant one cloud would
discharge its vivid flame of lightning
and below forth its deafening thunder,
the next would take up the refrain, and
its forked streaks of natural electric
light would make zigzag cracks through
the black veil Of the overhanging cloud
and sound as if hundred cannons
had been discharged was heard. Then
the third and fourth clouds as if deter
mined to outdo their predecessors would
quickly fall in line and their part of
Heavens artillery was used with all of
its grand possibilities.
This grand battle of the clouds went
on for more than quarter Of an hour
and in the meantime there was just
enough rain and just anough wind to
! make the grandeur of the scene more
startling and realistic.
Finally, the clouds slowly and sullen-
ly withdrew, as if they had accepted
under protest drawn battle decision
of referee, and TO show their dissatis-
faction at the decision continued for
a half hour longer, as each slowly
sought its own horizon to fire back
shots Of derision and defiance at its
late competitors.
The Western cloud divided its forces
sufficiently to allow the sun, just before
retiring for the night, to peep upon
the battle field, and as Old Sol went
to sleep, he left the forked s,reaks Of
lightning playing trick-track with each
other with the four dark canopies form
ing the necessary checker board fol
their amusement.
! Truly, il was grand sight.

PAID FOR HIS FRESHNESS.

How the Captain of Pacific Steamer
Protected Lady.
On through Eastern train of the Penn
sylvania road one day last week, all the
seats in the car were taken except two. A
lady sat in one, and man from the West
with big sombrero occupied the other. He
was fine-looking, manly fellow, and was
taken by those around him for a lawyer.
At the next station an unattractive drum
mer got ON the car. He sized up the situa-
tion at glance. The lady was pretty and
that settled it. Without even asking her he
sat down by her, and at once commenced to
make himself agreeable. She tried to avoid
him and 10 oked out of the window, but the
fellows gall was immaculate ard he main
tanned the one-slded conversation, The
Western man was calmly watching the pro-
ceeding and stood it as long as he could.
Going up to the lady he said: Madam, L
see you are annoyed. Wouldn't you prefer
to have my seat?' ''Oh, thank you," she re-
Piled certainly" and the big man helped
her to transfer her valise, while the other
passengers Uttered at the drummer's dis
comfiture.
The latter was boiling over. but kept down
his wrath until he got TO Altoona, and then
he demanded satisfaction for the insult.
The words were scarcely out of his mouth
before the Western man banged him on the
Jaw, and then with his boot kicked him
around as football. "Stand back" yelled
some of the tickled passengers. kick him
harder" they shouted together, and that
drummer finally crawled under car to eS
cape further punishment, wiser and sadder
man. Everybody wanted to know who the
Western man was. He turned out to be the
captain of Pacific Mail steamer out on
vacation.-PittSburS Dispatch.

FREAKS OF A TORNADO.
1t Plucked nm Old Woman's Poultry and
DESTROYED Her Soft Som.

1t Plucked nm Old Voman's Poultry and
Destroyed Her Soft Soap.
One of the occupants of the Good cottage,
near Lake Gervais, on July 18th, an elderly
lady, was very fond of taking care of fowls,
and had raised nearly 100 chickens and
ducks. These were all killed by the storm.
The lady had also made nice lot of soft
soap, of which she was very proud. The
soap had been left on board by the side of
the house, and, OF course, was carried away
by the wind.
The occupants of the house, it will be re-
membered, took refuge in the cellar when
the storm was seen coming. All were more
or less injured and their clothing torn from
their bodies. 1t was nearly half an hour be-
fore all were released, more dead than alive.
The lady spoken of was halt unconscious,
and the moment she W as taken from the Gel
lar she took one glance at the work of the
tornado, threw up her hands, and exclaimed:
"Oh, where are my ducks and my
chickens and where is my nice soft soap?'
Her soft soap has probably dissolved in
Lake Gervais, but the remains of her ducks
and chickens were found here and there
within radius of mile or more from the
house. The idea that a tornado could pluck
the feathers from fowl as clean as could
the most accomplished chef has been laughed
at, but some of the chickens and ducks be-
longing to the Good family were stripped Of
every feather. But that was not the only
remarkable thing about them.
Some of the chickens found nearly mile
from the house had their necks stretched to
a remarkable length, the necks of some, it
is said by those who saw them, being at
least a foot long Another incident of the
storm is that one of the ladies who took
refuge in the cellar was almost covered
with oats, the sharp needles of which pene-
trated her clothing and stuck to the skim
Tn husband of the lady vouches for this
occurrence, and says that it took nearly
half an hour to remove the oats.-St. Paul

himself and the steamer to say nothing of
the noble horses, he did not know. There
was at least ray of hope in the uncertainty
of this course, but it is doubtful If any
thought other than saving those children
entered the brave drivers mind The next
instant there was crash. The horses and
forward wheels of the machine were upon
the sidewalk and the pole was shivered
against the wall of a building. Happily the
breaking of the pole was about all the dam
age done.
1t was a noble performance, upon which
Driver McAllister was heartily congratu-

was fireman who performed it, and that
he will gain by it.-Boston Journal.

How Two Children Were Saved From n
Frightful Death.
In responding to an alarm of fire from the
corner of Dover street and Harrison avenue,
the driver Of Steamer 10, j. A. McAllster,
was called upon to solve very serious
question. 1t was, moreover, essential that
he should do 1t instantly. Not one half sec
ond had he to think. His heavy horses were
plunging ahead at a furious rate. Other
apparatus was In motion near by, and, in
the excitement, two children were calmly
looking on, oblivious of the fact that Engine
Is was nearly upon them. There was but one
way for McAllister to turn in order to save
those children, and that way was short off

From trophies of mart and stage.

And be loved for the dream Away;
