"My'' wife and ''my'' dog and "my' horse and "my'' baby. How much their being ''mine" adds to their value. It feeds the vanity of the man, and he brags and blows and boasts about these possessions, not always because of wife and dog and horse and baby altogether, but sometimes largely because of "my." From boy who wins prize for deliver ing a Latin Oration that Cicero couldn't understand down to the distinguished Biblical scholar who evolves or convo- lutes theory on the authorship of the Pentateuch that would puzzle Moses, alike we are the children of pride, sons of vanity and the mighty weakness of Father Lucifer do we imtate.-[R.

In tobacco culture in Persia, the land is plowed, narrowed and made as smooth and clean as possible, then banked and irrigated for five days, highly fertilized, the plants set out and irrigated every third day, the plants examined every day and the smaller leaves picked off. In some places, when the plant is half grown, an incision is made in the stem and one or two spikes of dried clover in- serted, which are believed to give a spicy flavor to the leaf. There is much care as to the water used for irrigating. If it is somewhat brackish, the leaf is mild and sweet and it's market value is considera- ply increased. In harvesting, the older leaves are gathered first. Each leaf is cut carefully through the stem and laid on the ground to partly cure, then re- moved to cover and a new culling made, and so on till the crop is gathered.

The census of Newfoundland shows a slight increase since 1884; itwas 197,- 334 then, it is POP, ,0O0 now, gain of 4665 or 1-3 per cent. In the whole province there are only 50,0O0 acres under culti- vation, while the fishing industry has not been so depressed for years. There is practically no manufacturing and not much chance to increase it's agricultural products, as there is little fertile soil not under cultivation and wheat growing has never been successful. The outlook is under present conditions and there is little wonder that the island looks to annexation to the United States as possible remedy for it's ills.
