An argument in favor of pruning is
this: When leaf of tobacco shows a
pale green color it is natures sign that
the sap has ceased to flow. 1t is perfect
ed and finished, it is heavier and richer
in oils at that stage than it will be at any
time afterwards, and it is a natural con-
clusion that all leaves of this class should
be removed at once and go to the barn if
the grower expects to save them. Here
comes in the dilemma. All the leaves on
the stalk are not pale green color and
consequently not ready to cut, but the
stalk must be cut to save the pale green
colored ones and the leaves above to a
great extent will be ruined, for they
never will cure out to the color desired
by the buyer, consequently many of them
or nearly one-half of the ones on the
stalk, will have TO be sold either for bind
ers, filters or trash. This is the argument
used in favor of pruning. We would like
to hear from those who are growing the
Vuelta Abajo, and have tried the pruning
process and with what results.

 ''In selling goods" said successful canvasser, won must not be content with selling to the people who want them; you must persuade the rest to want them also.n Many crafty sales man feels that the secret of success lies in describing his goods so that they shall seem all things to all men," and woe be to the innocent and jocose buyer who brings down upon himself the flood of such mans pertinaeity. Says a traveller in Malta, according to the Youths Companion:
 Going to the quay. we made our pas sage. by energetic pushing, through the lines of vendors of cigars, tobacco, lace, oranges and spongcs. One man with eanaries in cages stopped us at the waters edge with:
 ''Want a canary. sir?H

 ''No! no! They are for singing"
 ''Ah. if that's what they're for we don't want them"

The Nanticol1es, tribe that has left its name up the geography Of iscnnsy ivanis, at various points, were accustomed at the approach of winter to move southward into lower Dela- ware, and there to feed all winter long upon fish and oysters.

CHILL has just emerged from a civil war: she has been victorious in up holding a republican form of govern ment as against those who would overthrow it. The United States as the parent of republication in Ameri- ca looked on, only stopping long enough to assist the dictator to hold his ground when opportunity offered. It was natural that our offspring should resent this interference which the United States courts, Ill at least the I,ata case, declared was unwar- ranted by any law of any land. Chiii is little but she is zane. As republi- cans we are proud of her. The United States was small once and we were kicked around and knocked galley west and crooked by every power on earth just because we were trying to be somebody and were weak. l. IS a grave question just now whether the majority Of the sixty-five million peo- ple of these United States have moi more respect for the three million victorious republicans of Chili who were forced to apologize to us, than they have for the parent who wanted to wallop its offspring for resenting wroug.

A Curinns Ennk.

A book belonging to the family of the Prince de Ligne, now in France, is said to be the most curious book in the world, because it is neither written nor printed. The letters of the text are cut out of each folio upon the finest vellum, and, being interleaved with blue paper, it is as easily read as print. The labor bestowed upon it Yas excessive. Ro- dolph H., of Germany, offered for it in 1640 eleven thousand ducats, probably equal to sixty thousand dollars at this day. A remarkable circumstance con- nected with this literary treasure is that it bears the royal arms of England, but it cannot be traced to have ever been in that country.
 An Uncommon Name
 There is a man in Washington whc has a most uncommon name, and q paper in that city tells how he came by it.

Now for middle name Later, coming along by the same building, she saw on the door the name King" An, this was what sbe was after. .'Nosmo King Jones he shall be- she said, and he was chris tened SO. On the way home from the church she passed the same building again The doors were all shut. and be hoIdl the doors with the names on them she bad selected were shut together, and she read. not ''Nosmo King" but '.No Smoking" and her heart was broken.

,Japensse Polish.

Everyone knows that "elbow grease" is the best polish for mahogany, and it is interesting to learn how it is applied in Japan to produce the beautifully pol ished floors of cheaper wood, upon which one is not allowed to tread with shoes. They are not vanished nor oiled nor waxed." says a recent travel CT, but every morning rubbed with cloth wrung out of hot bath water, which contains oily matter enough to give in time this peculiar luster. Three years of daily rubbing with hot cloth are required to give a satisfactory re- suit, and every year adds to the rich ness of tone and polish, until old tea houses and temples disclose floors of common pine looking like rosewood or six-ceptury-old oak"

FOREST FIRES IN ALASKA.
Land Where Mosquitoes are Thick an,
Ravenous.

A Land Where Mosquitoes are Thick and
Ravenous.
Miles and miles of blackened stumps
marked the ravages of forest fires. The
Indian, when resting on his journey
and suffering from mosquitoes, sets fire
to the twigs and leaves around him,
creating a smoke which keeps the pest
distance, and, when refreshed, he
straps on his pack and moves along the
trail, of course without extinguishing
his fire; when announcing his approach
to friends at distance, he sets fire to
half-dead spruce or tanarack tree, and
the column of thick, black smoke is the
signal to be acknowledged in the same
manner by those who see it, SO as to
direct the traveller to their camping
grounds In the summer everything is
crisp and dry, and the timber is satu-
rated with turpentine The trees left
to smolder are famed into flame by the
slightest breeze; the flames creep among
the resinous trees and spread till whole
forests are destroyed. These forest
fires and the mosquitoes account for the
scarcity of game. Over the vast I'M
travelled region that we visited there
was remarkable scarcity of wild ami
mails. We saw only few ground
squirrels and some grouse and ptarmi-
gan. The Indians say that all the
larger animals retreat in summer to the
hilltops, where, exposed to a constant
breeze, they are free from the torments
of insects.
At our camp for the night on grassy
knoll, the mosquitoes and other flies
were in greater numbers and more raw
enous than we had ever previously ex-
perienced them. The whole insect
world seemed to hail our arrival with
the same relish that reservation Indians
welcome government rations. Their at
tacks We're fierce and incessant: our poor
brutes, tortured into frenzy, though
hobbled, stampeded back and sought
escape from the torment by sinking
into the swamp through which we had
labored only a few hours before. The
next morning, however, afforded us a
delightful rest, for stiff breeze from
the southwark swept the air clear of the
pests and granted man and horse a short
| respite. When plagued by flies, our
leader, who wore brass bell, would
create continual tinkling, but when
unmolested the band would seek soft
patch of grass and go soundly to sleep,
protiting by the unusual lull-Century.
