AM Export Brought to GrIeL

How often you hear q man say that
he can tell imported from domestic
cigars by looking at them. have been
over ten years in the business, but i
never felt equal to making such boast
as that. Some time ago my father was
in Washington, and while there was
one day talking to three other gentle-
men. One of them, after making de-
claration as outlined above, took three
imported cigars from his pocket and
passed them around for inspection, at
the same time saying that no one ever
fooled him as to whether a cigar was
imported or not.
Meantime his cigars were laid on the
table and my father, watching his OPP
portunitv, quietly took the cigars from
the table unobserved, and substituted
three of his own domestic cigars and
laid them in the same place. The con-
versation soon reverted to the three
cigars in question, and the boastsr,
turning to them, said: snow, gentle-
men, these cigars are imported, and I'll
tell you why" and he then took them
up and went on explaining the various
points as to size, shape, color, taste,
smell, etc.
As he concluded my father quietly
said: @How much. Mr.. Blank, would
you be willing to bet that those were
imported cigars?" "Ten dollars" said
the expert. Il don't want your money,
but do want to convince you you are
wrong" said Mr.. P. "Those are not
your imported cigars you have there;
those are mine, and they are domestic.
Here are yours" said the purloiner, as
he pulled them out of his pocket. The
experts face turned pale and then red,
and he was the picture of confusion.
The others roared with laughter, and
made the discomfted expert "set 'em
up" all around. Moral-but it's too
obvious to relate. Tobacco.

Betting on a Sure Thing.

A young man with baby in his arms
stood on o street corner. The baby was
at peace with itself, the young man who
held it, and the world in general. The
young man didn't appear SO well satis-
fed. He looked quite anxious and i'll
at ease.
He had been standing there with the
baby in his arms for almost an hour
when two young men, who had been
standing on the opposite corner enjoy
ing the situation, crossed the street and
walked up to him.
Il say, old chappie, where did you
get the kid?'
"a young lady asked me to hold it
for her a few moments while she went
into store," answered the young man,
beginning to look as if he wished sha
hadn't.
"She did, eh? Well, the best thing
you can do is to take the child up to
police headquarters and report the case.
That mother has deserted the baby"
"I don't believe it, said the holder Of
the baby, but the expression on his face
seemed to belle the statement.
"You don't?" exclaimed the second
young man. "Tll bet you SIS to 81 it's
fact"
@Pll take that bet" and the money
was put up.
About five minutes later very trim
little lady came out of the store with
her srms full of bundles.
@Oh, John, how long I've kept you
waiting. Has baby been behaving it.
self? Come to the mother, poor little
dear. What? You've got to see a
friend? All right; hurry up"
And as the couple walked off the
young gents on the corner could hear
the fond father say:
| "See, it will just buy baby that car
riage you want so badly"

Lam WoIE.Hunt.

The Swedish Lapps live entirely
with, by, and upon their reindeer. A
Lapp who owns thousand deer is o
very rich man; but as taxes are as
sessed upon the number Of deer, he is
inclined to underestimate his herd.
The most dangerous enemy to the herd
is the wolf, who, if disposed, can kill
thirty deer in night A band of
wolves can make rich Lapp poor.
When the snow is deep and soft, and
it is announced that wolf-tracks have
been seen in the neighborhood of the
deer, the swiftest runners on snow-shoes
prepare for an exciting chase.
The wolf may have start of mile
or two, but the track it leaves in the
deep. soft snow is so prominent that the
hunters can follow it at their best
speed. The wolf, though he may run
fast, has but slight chance of escaping
the short men, who, on snow-shoes. rush
through the wood, dart down steep
hills, and jump from lodges several
yards in height
Each hunter does his best to outrun
the others, for the wolf belongs to the
Lapp who strikes the first blow. As
soon as the leading hunter is close
enough to the wolf, he gives it a heavy
blow across the loins with his strong,
spiked snow-shoe staff. If there are
other wolves to be pursued, he kills it
outright; if not, he disables it, and
waits till all the other hunters have ar
rived, before giving the death-stroke.

This characteristics description and ac-
count Of himself being made, some Of
the rustics were emboldened to ask ques-
tions about the last cruise Of his ship,
and what he had lately seen of the enemy

for q few minutes, he became impatient,
and abruptly said.

I've no time for any more of it. Land

spoke, and the pedestrian whom we Lave
seen on the road entered and threw his

The Peanut (Arachis HypOgasa)-A
Natural Curiosity.

How many OF the readers ever exam
ined the growth of the common peanut.
There are not many grown In shis State
but enough to make few familiar with
the general appearance Of the plant as
it looks when growing.
Partly as curiosity, we planted q
few in the garden this season and
watched them carefully from the time
the yellow flowers appeared, to see
them force their ovaries in the earth
and there ripen them" / had read
what the books say about the habit of
growth of the plant, and expected to
see an elongated peduncle, with an in
cipient pod, turn over after the papilio-
naceous flower had fallen and penetrate
the soil.
was first surprised to see that the
flowers, while distinctly Of the class of
the Leguminose, were quite sessile, or
if they had any peduncle at all, it did
not elongate, but the flowers dropped
and left no sign visible to the naked eye
of any fruit to follow. One, two weeks
pass, more flowers bloom and fade,
when 10 from the opposite side OF the
leaf, where flower has been, there
starts out stout radicle that thrusts
its end into the earth beneath, and
alter it has grown to length of three
inches or more, an incipient peanut is
seen, which continues to develop with a
thick, feshy covering suntil it attains
its full development.

there was less visible connection be-
tween flower and fruit, and ! am in
clined to think that this description, as
aiyan in the botany. is rather deficient.

How Big an Orang. .Outang Is.

The North Borneo orang-outang
would seem to be a good deal bigger
than the Sarawak one, Of which Wal
lace says that Of good many shot by
him the largest stood four feet two
inches only. Hornaday's largest was
four feet four inches. In North
Borneo the smallest full-grown male /
have measured was four feet four
inches; four feet six inches seems TO be
a common size. A Mr.. Adams shot
one on the Suanlamba said TO be four
feet eight inches, and the one Mr.. Dun
lap shot near theclub stood as much as
four feet ten inches, the largest on re-
cord. Mr.. Albert shot one on the Kin
abatangan lately which measured from
tip to tip of its fingers eighty-six
inches across its outspread arms.

and delusion. Yet there is upon the
statute book todaya law put there as much
oy The solid vote of the representatives Of
the anti-protective sentiment as by the
friends OF that policy which is in direct con-
tradiction of their assertions in regard to
the effect Of a protective tariff. We refer to
the contract labor law. Democrats and
Republicans, tariff reformers and protec-
tionists alike voted for this law. The pur-
pose of the law is to prevent the importation
into this country Of men under contract with
our manufacturers to work In their mills.
What was the reason of itP 1t certainly
was not to improve the character Of our i'm
migrants, for the class it is designed to keep
out namely, men with trade and men who
had been guaranteed work before coming
here, were likely to make better citizens,
were far less liable to become a charge upon
the country than men who should came here
trusting to luck to End employment. The
reason was simply that the wages OF our
w0rkingmen might not be cut down by the
competition of wOrkingmen for Europe who
would work for less pay. The workingmen
saw that If their employers could import from
across the water men to take their places at
lower wages than were paid them they would
be compelled to submit to a reduction of pay
or lose their employ ment and asked Congress
to forbid such importations. Congress, pro-
tectionists and free traders alike, saw it in
the same light that the workingmen did and
granted their petitions. Now If the exclusion
Of this cheap labor was deemed essential for
the preservation of the American working
ingmsn's wages, is the exclusion of the pro-
ducts of this cheap labor any less essential?
The free traders regarded it as essential
for the protection Of the American working
man to forbid the bringing here of European
workingmen under contract to work at less
wages. On no other ground could they
honestly have voted for this contract labor
bill. But IL they regarded the exclusion Of
the cheaper workingman as essential to the
preservation of the wages of our working
men how can they regard the exclusion of the
products of the cheaper workingman as any
less essential? If they are honest now in
their assertion that the free importation of
the products of the cheap labor of Europe
would not iDjure our workingmen but would
rather benefit them, they could not have
been honest when they voted for the exclu-
sion of the cheap labor on the ground that
Its presence would iniure our laboring men.
