When Pans Syrinx changed her form
To a reed by rivers bTin1,
Straight he cut that reed and blew
Sounds divinely sweet to hlm.
For he knew the music fine
Was the soul Of her dear shade.
Hour by hour he wooed her well,
That she might not wholly fade;
Kept the reed against his lips
And 80 held her spirit near,

Sc, repentant. reappeaS.
Still ne calls upon her name.
Counting not his vision gone.
But he may not bring TO life
And her, living. look upon
Yet he hopes to, and so sings
Here and there by tempest tossed
What the heat with love pursues
Never can be wholly lost.
Die IL cannot while We hope.

While the late Lord Coleridge was ut
Oxford it was his duty as a fellow to
read the lessons in chapel, and one day
he read, by mistake, the second lesson
where he should have read the first. To
conclude it in the orthodox way was
hardly correct, as it was not the second
lesson, but the first. Nor could it we'll
be described as the first lesson. as prop.
erly il was the second. A moments
hesitation supplied him with the appro-
pirate word. Here. endeth the wrong

CAN WE GROW COOP TOBAC.
co IN EUROPE?

A few years ago the idea Of being able to
grow good tobacco in Europe would have
been secuted now WI read that the total
weight of the tobacco lin the dry state
grown in the German Empire during the
year {o92-l893 season was about 10000
tons, and its value 10 estimated at more than
G60Q,O00. So the Flooding industry Of our
Teutonio neighbours has solved another
problem.
How has this been done2 Is the tobacco a.
good as, say, that grown in Cuba? At fr4t
the German weed had but 81 Indifferent
favour; intact, a cigar 'grown in Germany
was distinguished by it's lack af favour.
No pains were spared in cultivation: the verV
best seeds were procured, the greatest attsn-
ton paid to the preparation Of the soil, and
the plant watched as tendeTIy as q new born
infant, but in spite of ell this the improysm6nt
in favour was 80 Insignificant that theGsfman
tobacco growers began to Shiuk that the
climate and soil Of q European country were
not suitable.
But progress in the study of minute life
led to q discovery which had the most inn
portant results. The favour of the tobacco
does not depend entirely upon the maturity
Of the leaf; the weed could not be sold as
good tobacco if it. did not go through a.
special process after gathering.
AS the juice Of the grape must be allowed
to ferment in order to acquire it's particular
qualities, SO must the leaf Of the tobacco plant
be allowed to Torment for q similar purpose.
The leaves are tied up in sheaves, and al
lowed to dry in a well-ventilated storehouse
for a few weeks; they are aftergards piled
layer upon layer in great heaps and as they are
not thoroughly dry thsy begin to ferment. To-
bacoo growers permit this process Of sweat
ing to continue for such a period as their
experience may suggest.
The leaves are then subjected TO a final
drying. The result Of the lamentations to
turn the leaves from yellow to brown, and to
change their chemical composition. It is
this change Of composition which gives the
favour 50 well-known to, and appreciated by
smokers all over the world.
k1NNhat is this fermentation? 1t was oIigi-
nally regarded as being due to the oxygen of
the air, but when greater attention was given
to the subject it was quickly discovered that
such Ak opinion was erroneous. The cause
of fermentation i'll beer was yeasts that is,

Dear III,

it may be presumptuous in me to give an
opinion, yet [ do think that the planters IN
St. Croix are on the wrong track when 'they
propose to introduce the cultivation OF tobao-
60 am a smoker and therefore would re-
ioice in the prospect Of getting cheap
tobacco and cigars. But if the cultivation OF
tobacco in st. Croix has been abandoned IN
the past. there must have been some good
reason for the step. Fisher it was found not
to nav. or the soil was found to be unsulted
TO its cultivation.
have been told that labourers in the
sugar factories in St. Domingo are pad 1oc.
gold or even 81 a day. Now if sugar pays
there ut such. rates surely il. ought to pay IN
st. Croix withs the low rate OF wages.
Evidently the defect is in the cultivation OF
the cane and in the manufacture OF the sugar
Why should planters be satisfied with one
hopshead per acre when the yield can be
brought up to 2, D or 3 hogsheads to the
acresand why do they not combine and estaO.
.lish central factories and SO economic the
manufacturing Again why do they plant
nothing but canes? In olden. days all these
islands used to feed heir own populations,

My memory goes back into the long past
and l we'll remember the large yam house

but that was due to IL different style OF
planting, manuring &c. bu. the money. whloh
the sugar fetched was NOT sent oHt OF the.
island for American breTdstufs, OATS oil

Why are not provisionsg move largely
grown? Vans oertaiDly do not i~nterfere with
the cane crop. The yam fields should always
be the best fields of canes. And if more vans
are grown than can be consumed at home
there is q market near at hand IN st.
Thomas aud | feel sure that a demand
for yams may be created in America. Why
should SO much corn meal be imported
when Indian corn may be grown and ground
