The deati Ct Miller Willis. the Georgia
evangelist, ~reyisg5 u..uy interesting
stories concerning lis life and methods.
He was certainly the gueerest character
that ever preached the Gospel ut IA camp
meeting, at which places be was gen
orally found. His pure and holy life,
kowever, was Il model for al. But about
his methods: lie Frequently stopped
strangers IN the streets. and planting
himself in front of them would announce
some startling text and then disappear,
leaving the man ur ofna 10 preach the
sermon to his or her own liking
For instance. be on one occasion
stopped a stranger and shouted in his
ears, "Thi% night thv syul shall be re-
quired Of theer" Willis vanished. But
a year afterward he met the man in IN
other city. Willis had forgotten him.
but the stranger knew his APP
preaching him he extended MS hand and
said: THAT text you shouted out so
strangely to Inc OH the streets Of Mil
ledgeville set ME to thinking It was
the means of my conversion.
On another occasion. a dark, rainy
night in winter. be passed a crowded
hotel in the city Of Charleston. Men
were lounging and smoking in the lobby.
Willis opened the door, 'but the little
figure in dripping garments attracted no
attention Suddenly. after rapping loud
on the floor with his heavy stick, every
eye was turned toward him, when Willis
said, There won't be a man in this
house alive in fifty years from tonight!'
And he slammed the door and went out
into the night.
Some time afterwari he was ap-
preached by a young man On a street
car, who introduced himself by saying:
Il have long desired to meet you and to
thank you for saying what you did in
the hotel lobby one winters night. Your
words have been ringing in my ears ever
since, and | am now a Christian man.

The Reason" fot ITS Peculiar Flavor ard
The Method: ~ Curing.
IN the case Of periIue tobacco the
stripping Of the milrib from the leaf
causes the leaf to fall into two lateral
halves, which are placed on top of each
ether in such a nanne that the blade of
n half OF the leaf alternates with the
apex Of the other. These are then
twisted into what are called "~torquets."
These tOrquets are folded upon them
selves, side by side, and are placed in
strong boxes, which are about twelve
inches square, and subjected TO pressure.
After twenty four hours these torquets
are taken oUt and repackcl in the same
n as before every twenty-four
hours for d period Of 4 week, the idea
being evidently to subject the torquets
to a uniform pressure throughout. After
this period has elapsed these torquets are
repacked every three days for about two
weeks. During all this time the tobacco
is subjected to d ccnstlnt. steady pres
sure with a press Of the most primitive
kind.
l should not forget to state that after
the tobacco has been placed i'll the press
one week black juice flows out of the
box, which has a pleasant odor. not IN
like freshly cooked rrunes. Square
pieces of ~cottonade, IS by 19 inches, are
laid out, and on these the torquets are
opened, or, to use the term Of the Eng
lish speaking ArcaGians, the torquets
are unraEeled, great care being neces-
sary to separate each leaf.

cottonade first, SO that when rolled the
largest leaves will serve as Il covering of
the carrOtte presently to lie described.
The smaller leaves are placed longitude
nally upon the larger ores until three
and one-half to four pounds are placed
upon the piece Of c~OttOnade, the ends Of
which are turned inwardly. The cot
tOnade and contents are now rolled into
carrottes, the ends Of the cOttOnade are
pulled out and & string tied to each end
to prevent the carr0tte from opening, and
the whole wrapped in a clothesline,
usually made Of cotton.
The wrapping is performed in the
primitive manner that characterizes the
operation throughout. Use is made of
a Windlass and a rope; the end of the
rope is made fast to the c~arrotte, passed
around a post driven into the ground),
a twist is now made around the carrotte,
and with each turn Of the ~carrotte the
pressure is increased. This is continued
until the whole Of the carrCtte is envel-
oped; the end is made fast by passing it
through several turns of the rope. This
finishes the carrotte, but, before it is
placed upon the market. it is allowed to
age, which is usually from six months
to a year. During this time the tobacco
is allowed to undergo q slow f~erlnenta-
ton, which gives the aroma and taste
that distinguish this tobacco from all
others.
The amount of poriQue grown and
manufactured has averaged, during the
five years preceding 1899. 10000 car
rottes Of four poun1s per annu1n.
Wholesale tobaccoHists have expressed
the doubt that any modern method
would produce tobacco with as fine
favor as that produced by the OLD and
primitive manner just dcscrr'al. pu~r

The Key OF Death.

About the year 1000 Il stranger named
Tebaldo established himself as Il mer-
chant in Venice. Soon becoming infatu-
ated with the daughter of one Of the
most ancient and wealthy families he
asked her hand and was rejected, the
young lady being already affianced.
Half crazed ande thoroughly euraged he
planned revenge Being an excellent
mechanic he soon evolved q most fOrmi-
dable looking key. The handle of this
unique weapon could be easily turned.
Being turned it disclosed q spring with a
missile in the shape Ct a needle Of e.
quisite fnenezs. With this weapon Te-
baldo waited at the church door until
the. maiden he loved passed in On the
morning Of her marriage. When the
bridegroom appeared the desperate lover,
unperceived, sent the slender poisoned
needle into his rivals breast, and within
an hour he was dead OF "A "strange. baf-
fling disease"
Again Tebaldo demanded the hand Of
the maiden, but was refused. Within a
few days both her parents had died in
a very mysterious manner Suspicion
being excited. examination was made,
and the small stee! instruments found
in the flesh in both c3@ca. One day tie
maiden allowed Teb#lGn an audience,
but told him that she Wuuid never be
his bride. Within Hr tour she was d

discovered and the ci,inEit hanged. The

the Panama railroad was being built,
and long before work on the canal was

been brought from China 70 work on the
canal. Over one-half Of them were
camped at what is now Matoehin. Small
pox broke out among them and the NOR

men, always easily excited, became panic
stricken, and preferring to die by drown

A Complaint About the Meat Marke

A Complaint About the Meat Market.
SAVANNAH, GA, March 12.-Editor
Morning Meas: Permit me to call the atten-
ton of the city fathers to the wretchedly
dirty, filthy and deplOrable state of the
market on ST. Julian street. That the state
of things there existing has not already
been ventilated through your paper is no
doubt due to the fact that the irrepressible
reporter, always on the alert to immortalize
himself in the public behalf, politely ex-
cuses himself from pushing an investigation
in this quarter. When l say filth and
dirt I mean it, and / have no
doubt but that many housekeepers like my
self will think / am putting the matter
mildly. These remarks are aimed at some
Of the gentlemen OF the block and cleaver.
The stalls are filthy, and the meat hacked,
dragged and bedraggled, is simply abomin-
able. have been compelled for some time
to so to market to get meat for my people
at home, but il they could only see what
my eyes see they would never want any
more meat l have been a pronounced
vegetarian ever since first caught sight of
this dirt, filth and squalor some two years
ago. These men do not understand bow to
cut and prepare meat for the public, as any
sensible person can tell whose eyes rest on
the meat after they have got through with
1t. The city fathers ought not to allow the
public sense and decency to be shocked in
this manner. trust my fellow housekeep~
ers will use their influence in getting the
city fathers to remedy this dreadful state of
things. The remedy would employ would
be the biggest broom in the city, and with
this broom l would brush the whole litter,
bag and baggage, into the street and the
