SaloOnkeepers and Bartenders Cannot Hold
 the Ofice of Postmaster.
 WASHINGTON, May 8. 3.-Postmaster- General Bissell has formulated policy of barring saloonkeepers and barten- ders from appointment as postmasters. In accordance with this plan, where there are several candidates, the fact that any of them has business dealings with saloons will be given weight and the other candidates will be given preference in making appointments. Postmaster General Bissell said this afternoon he had reached the conclu- sion that saloon is not good place to educate person for the transaction of postal business, though there is no iron-clad rule prohibiting the appoint ment of those who may have been con- nected with the liquor business. MT. Bissell said:
 We have appointed men as post masters who permitted bars in their hotels, though not interested them. selves, but we prefer not It is not a temperance question nor moral ques. tion; but is business question purely, and the post office department is business institution. From my observation and experience am convinced any man, directly or indirectly interested in the liquor business, is in a measure united by his occupation, and that his interest iu that business necessarily interferes with full discharge of his official du. ties in any branch of the postal serv. saa

not so severe along the coast as was ex-

The northern shore of Long Island felt
the full fury of the storm. The gale blew

grOundings are reported. a number of
isolated places on the island are cut of

TOBACCO.

The tobacco plant is member Of the
nightshade family.
The first European tobacco was grown
in Portugal in 1920.
Some Syrian tobacco has SO small per-
centage of nicotia that this principle can
barely be detected.
A peculiar species, the Nicotiana re-
panda, is raised in Cuba especially to
make certain brands of cigars
Wet ground snuffs are always allowed
to ferment after grinding, and various
perfumes and essences are then added to
give the desired flavor.
Green tobacco. - the Nicotiana rustica,
will come to maturity in almost any eli
mate. 1t does well even in Canada,
Sweden, Norway and north Russia.
The Compania General of Manila en-
ploys 10, 200 hands and turns out every
year SO, 600, 900 cigars, 4OU, 900, 900 ciGa-
rettes and =, 800 tons of cut tobacco.
Topping a tobacco plant means break
ing of the upper end of the stem in order
that the strength of the plant may all be
concentrated in the leaves rather than in
flowers and seeds.
In 1889, according to the agricultural
reports, there were raised in this country
565, 7O5, 600 pounds of tobacco The acre
age was az, 326, and the value of the prod
uct was SAB, 666, 665-
The chemical analysis of tobacco shows
that it contains nicOtia, nicotianine, gum,
potash, phosphorus, malate of lime, chic
rOphyll, various albuminoids, malic acid,
woody fiber and several salts
Tobacco has not been found growing
wild in any part of the world, and its
original abode Is therefore unknown. 1t l.
believed to be n native of tropical America
1t is sometimes found growing as IL weed,
but in all such cases the plants have been
traced to All Indian field or sc;IlCmcnt.-
