The following interesting story is told by
an English solicitor. He had among his
clients notorious oompsny promotsr,
whose financial affairs came to grief. ons
day, happening 70 pass stationsr's shop,
his attention was attracted by portrait of
Mr. -, the veil known lbArristsr. Mr..
- was atsired in wig and gown and In
his hand he held paper on which the no.
licitor's sharp eye caught ths name of his
client. His curiosity aroused, he pur-
chased the photograph and proceeded to
deciphsr the words Of Mr.. --'s brief,
speedily discovering that . warrant was
"out" for the arrest Of mis- client. In .
few hours the man of fnancs was out of
England, to which country he has not
ainee returned.
One of the largest Arms that deal In
mourning goods In London has helpers. Pc
culiar to itself. They are the daughters
of clergymen. They live In the building,
which is most expensive. They have their
we'll appointed rooms and their comforta-
-hls table. Thsy have their hmss and sea
cons of relief, opportunities for recreation,
but their hours are appointed. They are
well dressed, and always in black silk.
When the notice of death is resolved, one
of these young women is sent In cab, II
1t is within driving distance, and person
ally superintends every de.ail Of the
mourning. She goes, comes, takes meas
ures, buys gloves, scarfs, wells, sees to
their transmission and at last goes per-
sonally to adjust bonnets, wells, drspery.
If the errand is out of town in Q distant
place she takes the train, goes up and
down until everything is in readiness. If
the order comes from q distance, 90 far
that her presence is impracticable, shs as
sumes its entire charge in town.
In spite of the moisture of the Wash
ington climate tobacco has been cultivated
upon Q small scale in the vicinity of Seat
tie for several years, but the farmers are
only just beginning to hear of it. An ex-
pert who has looked over the country tells
them that the plant can be grown with
profit in certain parts of the state. The
Puget Sound country, he says. is especial
ly we'll adapted to the cultivation of to-
bscco. There are certain sections better
suited for 1t than others, for instance, the
White River valley and the Snoauslmie
valley. Tobacco requires q dry sandy
loan, and this country sbounds In thst
kind of soil; the black muck lands such
ss are found in the fats will raise good
except that is will be dark in
color. This dark color, however, does not
affect the strength of the tobacco, AZ
many smokers imagine, the actual
strength being imbibed from the
nature of the soil. Tobacco exhausts
soil rapidly, and In the East we have
TO fertilizs every year. Here your soil lie
rich enough to do without fsrtilizipg for
many years, while the grades of tobacco
already raised around here, Snoquslmie
Falls, and other points, show that they
will compare favorsbly with grades raised |
In the well. established tobseco-growing
States In the East, namely, Pennsylvania,
New York, Connecticut, Ohio, Wisconsin |
and Maryland, with the added advantage
that here you have but nttls frost and
earlier seasons for planting and growing"
