TOBACCO.
Tho Curious Early History Of Its Manu-
facture In Cuba.

Tho Curious Early History Of Its Manu-.
facture In Cuba.
Tobacco growing Cuba has had q curl.
Gus history" said A. H. Latta as he light
ed his after dinner Havana "And it Is
the one industry that know Of which has
nearly been anpihilated by excessive care
and protection. In the year iii factory
was started in Havana to foster q cultiva-
ton of the weed, on which. 100 years be-
fore, the peninsular government had levied
q tax to help defray the expenses Of the
state. This factory lasted for % years,
and then, failing to answer the purpose for
which 1t had been created, was abolished
Contracts for quantities Of tho best to-
bacco were then entered into with wealthy
persons in Spain, but instead of allowing
the business to take care of itself the gov
eminent deemed it advisable to establish
q second factory.
This new venture was placed in charge
of officers called vistadores de vegas who
were supposed to superintend the raising
Of the plant. Abuses of all kinds crept in,
and, as is usual, the planters received all
the worst Of it. The manufacture Of 81 ufY
was prohibited in Cuba, and soon after
ward the government gave the officials au-
of the tobacco crop they thought unfit for
sale. OF course this caused a fictitious
value on the product, the price advancing
correspondingly as the amount on hand
grew less, and often part of the crop which
had been condemned was placed on the
market and immense profits realized.
These abuses SO affected the industry that
in 1904 tobacco had to be imported from
the United States. Virtue IS its own re-
ward, however, and the same is probably
true of the opposite trait, and the officers
were quickly deposed and the factory wiped
out of existence. No sooner had this new
order of things been initiated and tho
making of snuff again permitted than tho
persons engaged in this trade sought to ad-
vance their individual welfare by trying
to have laws enacted preventing the ex-
portation of tobacco in the leaf. The peo-
pie had had enough of monopoly, however,
and the proposition never became a law"

Books.

Books, of all things, should be tended by
reverent hands, and, to my mind, the per-
functory in things ecclesiastical is hardly
more distressing than the service of books
as conducted in many great Libraries One
feels that the libarrii should be a sacred
order, nearly allied 10 the monastic-re-
fined by varying steps of initiation and
certainly celibates. They should give out
their books as the priest his sacrament,
should wear vestments fit and bear about
with them the aura, as of visible ministers
of the great spirit of truth and art, in
whose temple they serve.
The next step TO this ideal ministry IL
to have our books given out to US by wom-
en-. Though they may understand them
not they handle them with gentle courtesy
and are certainly in every way to DO pre-
ferred to the youthful, freckled monster,
with red spines upon his head and nailed
boots, "the work of the cyclops," upon
his feet, whose physiognomy is contorted
by cinnamon balls at the very moment he
carries in his arms some great golden lips
or gentle silver tongue What good, sweet
women there are, too, who would bless
heaven for the occupation.-Condens

Washington, May 23.-The naval dem.
onstratio at Kiel, on the occasion OF
the opening Of the Baltic canal, accord
! ing to the present program, promises
TO eclipse anything Of a like nature ever
| witnessed in Europe. A table prepared
| by the naval intelligence office, shows
that in addition to the numerous fleet
of Germany, there will participate n
J the naval parade no less than forty-five
warships from foreign countries, repre-
| senting every type from the stately
battleship to the little gunboat and tor
pedo cruiser.
As might be expected, Great Britain
easily takes the lead in tonnage, al
| though Italy will send more ships, the
| British feet numbering eight ships and
| the Italians will have nine. The Brit
! ish vessels have a total tonnage of
69,310, as against 5S,331 for the Italian
ships. The British also have the larg-
est vessels, sending four monster bat
tleships each of 14,450 tons, nearly 400
tons larger than our own fine battle
ships Of the Indiana" class. They
are armed with 1879 inch guns, but two
of the italian ships exceed this battery
the LAURA and Doria carrying the larg-
est guns afioat, of a calibre of IL inches.
The British fleet will consist of the fol-
lowing ships: Battleships Royal Sow
ereign, Empress of India. Repulse and
Resolutiin; protected cruisers Blenheim
and Bellona, and torpedo vessels Speedy
and alcyOn.
The Italian fleet, next in strength,
Includes the four battleships Sardegna,
Re Umberto. Ruggiero di LAURA and
Andrfa Doria, the protected cruisers
Strombol and Etruria, and the torpedo

royal yacht Sovia.
Next to Italy and third in the list
in tonnage comes the United States
with the armored cruisers New Yorh,
and the cruisers Minneapolis, Column
bia and Marblehead, aggregating 25,-

CAN SHOW HER HEELS.
If Great Britain and Italy can boast
Of the largest and most powerful ships
the United States can easily claim the
championship in point of speed, for
no foreign ship comes near the peer
less Minneapolis with her record of
23,G73 knots, even the f1eetest torpedo
vessel at the show, the Italian Aretu-
sa, scoring but 20.7 knots at her best.
Russia stands number four in the
list of tonnage with three ships, the
battleShip Imperator Alexander II, the
coast defense ship Groziastchi and the
armored cruiser Rurik, a total tom
nOge of 20,S96.
OF the great European naval powers
France makes the worst showing with
only 1898 tons made up of the battle
ship Hoche, the protected cruiser Sur
cot and the twin-screw armored cruz
ser Dupuy de LONE, celebrated for the
great numbers of unsuccessful trips she
made in the effort to make speed, and
now only rated at 20 knots.
