HOME GROWN TOBACCO.
What the New Tariff Has Done Fol
American Tobacco
Growers.

From Saturdays Daily.
A W, Foote: of New York, a manu-
facturer Of domestic and foreign ci-
gars, is at the Merchants, says the
Pioneer Press. Mr.. Foote is a firm
friend of the Mckinley bill and lie
says every tobacco grower and ma
nufacturer in this country will vote
to retain the Republican administra-
ton in power. Speaking of the effect
OF the protective tariff on the tobacco
industry he said that it has beel,
very great and has at least doubled
the leaf-growing business in this
country. The tax, he acknowledged,
was very high, but it cid not have
the effect, he said, Of raising the
prices correspondingly high The in
crease in price is comparatively very
small. He accounts for this partly
in this way: The greatest tax is ON
the wrappers, and the American i'm
porter now buys nothing but the
very best wrapper which is nsed on
the high grade cigars. This leaf is OF
a very fine quality and very thin,
consequently it does not materially
affect the price of the cigar. Mr..
FoOte said that the demand for the
domestic Havana wrapper had great
ly increased and that the domestic
Havana cigar is supplanting the i'm.
ported article.

The Remains Found.

Last Sunday the body OF Andrew
Surgeons little four year old son,
who was lost in the woods near
Pillsbury were found. A man pass
ing through the woods found the re-
mains in tamarack swamp about
two miles east of the house. He was
lying on his fact with his hat in his
hand where he apparently had
wandered and fallen to die.
1t will be remembered that he
strayed away on July, 2Sth, and
though hundreds of men secured the
woods for days not even a trace of
the little fellow was ever found.
The searching parties did not pene-
trate the swamp where he was found,
though they were near enough for
the fellow to have heard them. He
must have wandered there the first
night on some old winter trail and
died the first day or two or before
the most extensive search was made.
Who can picture the terror of that
timid little child alone in the woods
and tortured by MOSQUITOES.
The remains were brought to town
Tuesday and buried in the cemetery
here.

Prohibition Speech.
From Tuesdays Daily.

From Tuesdays Daily.
Rev. John H. Hector, a colOred
prohibition orator lectured to a
large audience at the City Hall last
evening. He roasted the old parties
and said that the reason he devoted
most of his time to roasting the re.
publican party was that any man
who paid any attention to a party
that had lived on clear cut wind fol
twenty-five years (the democratic)
was wrong in the head. MIR. Hector
is somewhat of a humorist and il
he speaks here again will have a much
larger audience.

An easy trick Of the magician is
right hand and dropping them in d
hat. A silk hat is best, because tn,
crown is deeper. It is held firmly
with the left hand. These CONS are
pulled out of the nose, the hair or the
ears of any one in the audience, and
dropped with a clink into the hat.
Sometimes the operator stands on
the stage and pretends he is catching
coins in the air. If anyone in the
audience will observe he will notice
that the magician pulling coins from
the impalpable nowhere always takes
care to keep the back of his right
hand to his audience.
A retired conjurer told how the
trick is done. The left hand, which
holds the hat, has 10 or 10 coins in
it and whenever the right hand pre-
tends to drop a coin the illusion is
made perfect by the left hand drop
ping q coin instead. The coin i'm the
right hand remains there and is clev-
erly "palmed. II the palm of the
hand were turned to the audience the
illusion would soon be dispelled. The
only difficult thing aboutit is palm
ing" or holding the coin in the palm
of the hand and permitting il TO get
to the fingers when the pretended
catch is made.
1t will be noticed that the operator
throws his hands up as II grabbing
the coin, but that movement enables
him to easily transfer the coin from
his palm to his fingers. Then She
proud wizard holds the half dollar
second in triumph between his thumb,
fore and middle fingers, and with an
air, which plainly says heis the great
est of Mephistos, conveys it TO the
hat. Instead of dropping IL in the
hat he quickly palms it andgoes back
with his right hand to catch the same
half dollar again. Where he gets car
ried away and betrays his secret to
the careful onlookers iswhen he holds
up the hat with his left hand toward
the proscenium arch and n coin un-
seen falls and clinks in the bottom of
the hat. One can then see how the
left hand grasps the hat, the fingers
and palm being on the inside of the
crown and the thumb doing yeomane
duty holding the short rim of the silk
chapeau. The coin could fall from no
place save the hand holding the hat,
and the noise of the clink, not being
loud, would naturally lead to discov-
cry. When the performer goes down
among the audience and begins TO
pull coins from noses IL trequires quick
and expert work. After n time he
gets tired of pulling out coins and
confidently reaches his hand into the
breast of some mans coat and jerks
forth a rabbit orsmall chicken. That
is his masterpiece, but the truth is
the man had been sitting there pa
tiently waiting to be relieved of his
burden and earn his dollar.

THE NEIGHBORS.
-)o(-

Dr. Brooke was a widower and Mrs
Enderby Widow-and neither was
old and both were handsome. Mrs.
Enderbv certainly never was hand
somer in her life then when, after
bearing with Mrs. Forsythe's nuen-
! does as long as she could, she marched
up her own garden path into her own
house, with her head very well up,
and a beautiful angry blush upon her
clear cheek, and then, going to her
own room, locked the door and burst
into passion of tears from veXation
pure and simple.
After almost driving Mrs. Enderby
to madness, Mrs. Forsythe went next
into DR.. Brooke's house. His pleas
ant shaded grounds adjoined those
of Mrs. Enderby. Mrs. Forsythe was
good soul, yet sensitive people fed
from her as from a pestilence.
" Well, girls she said to the doc
tors twin daughters, as theyreceived
her in the drawing-room with all the
formality of their fifteen years, $50
you've got a neighbor in your new
home. III be bound your father II
be over to call soon"
The two girls were as alike as twins
usually are. They had soft, gray
eyes, like their father, and flowing
complexioDs on which the color came
and went Janet looked at Dolly,
and Dolly looked at Janet. Their
lips trembled.
Papa does not consult us-when
he wishes to CALL" said poor Dolly,
vainly trying to show some spirit on
the occasion.
1--WE have perfect confidence in
papa" spoke up Janet boldly.
" All, my children, you don't know
widows-and widowers."
Mrs. Forsythe did not drive the two
young girls to their bedrooms to cry
furiously, but whenDr. Brooke came
round OF OF VisIts W Iony iteW at INN nm and nd
kissed him with Il .9trange passion.
Something was the matter with his
girl, the doctor saw.
What is it?" he asked tenderly,
pressing her soft cheek to his.
"N-nothing," said Dolly, while
tears rushed to her eyes.
''Tll tell you what it is, father"
said Jack Brooke, aged sixteen, big,
ungainly, afraid of nothing on earth

The Photograph Album.

A great deal of fun is poked at the
photograph album, but Idon't know
otanything that gives more all-round
comfort and amusement to visitors
than the large family picture album
which contains Uncle Joseph's cahi-
net sent from Maine or Aunt Melissa s
all the way from Utah. | once sub
stituted a book of engravings "Circe
and her swine," the "Naissance de
Venus" and other classical subjects,
and saw such an utter lack of interest
on the part of my visitors that re-
placed the plush album, and they
soon had their heads together laugh
ing fit to kill themselves. The fact
is, Uncle Joseph does look so funny
with his one lock of hair combed up
in a wavelet over his high forehead,
and his sSunday-go-to-meeting-clothes
on with the expression that accom-
panies them, that one is compelled to
laugh. Then the babies, dear little
tots of all ages, with the look of head
rest bewilderment overspreading the
smiles and dimples-they are far
more interesting to the average per-
son than Raphel's Cherubs.
l have little stock of anecdotes,
too, which go with my plush album.
Here is one of them.
A little girl, who was the infantile
terror of her family, was taken to a
photographer, but would not sit still
long enough to get n picture. Every
member Of the family took turns in
coaxing and wheedling her, but in
vain. Finally, the photographer ask
ed the friends to go into another
room, as he wished. to try her himself.
The result was a good picture. When
the family had their treasure alone
they asked her what the man said to
her.
"He told me to sit still, you little
wretch, or I'll eat your head of"
When that picture was finished II
had an expression that was simply
angelic.-Virginia True in Detroit
