In the Abajo valley is small, low
piece of country, about FIVE miles from
Havana, capable of producing tobacco
enough to make thirty thousand cigars
annually, or about one-quarter of the
number smoked every six months in
Washington. Without question the to-
bacco is the finest grown. The result
is the kings and nobleIner of England,
Russia Germany, France and the other
European countries gobble them up.
Every single cigar made of Vuelta
Aba 10 tobacco is sold to them at prices
ranging from twenty to one hundred
and fifty dollars hundred. Americans
would never pay that price, especially
when the twenty to one hundred and
fifty dollars does not include the tariff,
which would make the poorest quality
of these cigars sell at forty seven cents
apiece, wholesale. These cigars are
bought, and paid for, too, by the way,
long before the crop is ever harvested.
Manufacturers, with that remarka BILE
GOODNESS with which some men are en-
dowed, proceed to call all qualities and
kinds of Cuban cigars Havana and
Nuelta Abajo when half of them never
saw cigar of that growth. -Washing-

term, ''as white as hounds tooth"

These are neither more or less than a
a mile of chimney, carried on an in
cline up the hill, with doors of iron in
the side. As the hot blast passes up
the chimney it deposits a crust of ar
senic crystals on the brick work all
around TO the depth of from two to
three inches, and it deposits minute
dust of crystals on the floor. Before
the smoke passes into the upright
chimney, the height of which is one
hundred and twenty-five feet. it has to
traverse rain of water which catches
what remains of the arsenic, after
which what passes forth it is nothing
but sulphurous acid
The crystals of arsenic are scraped
out of the flue or condenser while still
warm and are ground in mill to -four

small barrels, containing little over
three hundred weight
The men who work the arsenic, eth

the mill, are obliged 70 wear mufiiers
over their mouths and noses to prevent
inhaling the particles The arsenic
workers are obliged TO wash them
selves thoroughly every day on return
ing from the works, as the arsenic Is

The celebrated arsenic works on the
| lamar, in England, are the remains Of
a once famous copper mines For
| twenty-eight years it proved the richest
| mine in the country.
The lode then gave out, and the mine
would have been abandoned as worth
less had it not been accidentally dis
covered that it was exceedingly rich in
arsenic. Copper is still produced in the
mines, but in comparatively small
| amounts, and is dispatched to South
Wales, there to be smelted.
The material brought up from under
ground is crushed in a machine called
the stone-breaker that resembles a
huge pair of Jaws. which literally
| chews up the stone till it has reduced
its proportions sufficiently to pass into
another machine, the crusher wherein
it is pounded into pieces about the size
of walnut The material is now con-
veyed in barrows TO the dressing floors,
and each barrow-load is turned out and
washed in running stream that car
ries off the small PARTICLES The nuts
are then thrown up with fork upon a
ia Die behind which recline, on sloping
board, the mine girls who assert them.
AS soon as the arsenical pyrites is
completely separated from the common
ore and from the earthly matter, then it
is conveyed to the first calciner where
il is burnt with low-eiass coal. and pro-
duces -'arsenical SCOT; that is TO say,

The method consists of rotary iron
like milestone, convex in the middle,
under a surface studded with iron
fiukes in three ranges, five in each.
The arsenic TO be refined Is admitted
from above. A fire is kept in a furnace
at one side and the flames are swept
in between the rotating milestone and
it's fiuke-studded cover. All are brought
to glowing red heat. The arsenic,
on falling in blazes as stars and drop
ping on the burning milestone, isturned
over bY the iukes and gradually slips

A YALE STORY.

How an Ingenious Student Got Aleag in
tho Psychology REGULATIONS.
Yale's old south college and athe-
n9um are now being demolished, and
apropoe a reminiscent student tells the
Minneapolis Journal the following
tale: 1t was when President Porter
was holding recitations In the athe-
,neum. In one of the class divisions
was young fellow active in athletics
who found it difficult to blend pro-
fciency In baseball with the forty
pages OF advance and review which
made up the normal days lesson in DR..
,Porter's bulky volume on Human In
tellect." Taking advantage of DR..
'Porter's easy-going recitations, the
young fellow hit on the following de-
vice: He divided the forty pages into
eight sections of five pages each For
each section he prepared an answer,
usually based on suggestive line or
two, sometimes evolved purely from
inner consciousness. At reeitations he
simply watched DR.. Porter turn the
pages, basing his answer absolutely on
the number of pages turned. From
pages D TO l0 meant answer No. J, from
pages IS to so answer No. 6, and so on,
not the slightest attention otherwise
being paid to the question. The young
pioneer in psychology, who ratified off
the answer with all the fexibility of
speech and earnestness he could COM
mand, always met gracious smile
from Dr.. Porter. and found subsequent
ly by this audacity he had secured a
stand in psychology among the first
half-dozen in the class. Years after he
met DR.. Porter, and explained the
trick and the result. The president
turned the thing prettily. Mr.. Blank"
answered he, IF you got eight ideas
out of each forty pages of my Human
Intellect you got so many more than
most of your class that you deserve

She was also dear friend of mine, and

until they had arched it in a most mis-
chievous smile. She removed the books
and boxes which Uttered the seat beside
her so as to make room for me, but I
stopped her, saying that l preferred

When Artemus Ward died the press
of England and America was filed
with tributes to his memory. In New
York a meeting of newspaper people
was held. at which it was resolved that
his memory should be perpetuated.
The manner in which this was done
was amusingly illustrated by a story
told in Harper's Magazine some years
ago. Whether or not the anecdote
would be true to-day, we do not know,
