process is completed, the tobacco is
placed in horsehair sacks and shipped
to market. The merchant subjects the
leaves to new drying and then sorts
them according to color, fragrance and
general quality. There are three quail
tiles, the finest of which is obtainable
only for big prices. This leaves a
white ash, while other tobaccos leave
a white or gray ash.
The history of tobacco culture in
Tennessee and Kentucky dates back to
their settlement century ago. The
pioneers raised it for their own con-
sumption. 1t was not until 1910 that
tobacco began to form one of the great
staples of the State. In 1920 over 1000
hogsheads were annually sent in fat
boats to New Orleans and exchanged
for coffee, sugar and salt. 1t is esti-
mated that from 1920 to 1880 the actual
cost of growing tobacco did not exceed
81 for 100 pounds. The year 1894
will witness the sale of nearly go, 00O,-
900 pounds of tobacco from Tennessee

There is no single exercise which COM
bines so many health giving qualities rs
riding. 1t is peculiarly valuable to
children, for it is the most certain and
gentle developer of the back and stom-
ach muscles and imparts tone to the
entire system that cannot possibly be
attained in any other way. Even foot
ball, the hardest of all games, falls
short of having the same invigorating
effect on the boy. If this be true for
the boy-and such it is now generally
admitted to be-how much more neces-
sary is riding to the young girl who has
no game but lawn tennis, which fails to
exercise the most important parts of her
body?
Few boys and girls, and almost as few
men and women, think twice of the val
ne of different kinds of exercise to them,
or would know much about it if they
did think. Any exercise of course, mod.
erately taken, is better than none, but
the exercise which acts upon arms and
legs only is Of not one-half the value Of
that which acts on the body, the chest
stomach and back. When, then, an ex
ercise is found that acts on all, its value
is apparent without further argument

The Rev. Joseph Haven, who preached
in Rochester, N. H., during the last
quarter of the last century, has been al
ways remembered for his genial spirit
and his inexhaustible humor. One story
told of him has many parallels, but it is
quite as likely to be true in his case as
in any.
The boy had been guilty of some grave
offense, and yet would not confess it.
81 can tell who did it," said the parson,
and accordingly he called together all
the boys suspected and explained to them
that he had confined rooster under a
kettle in a darkened room. One after
another they must pass in and touch the
kettle. When the guilty boy touched it, he
might expect to hear the rooster crow.
The lads filed in and out again and
were made to display their fingers. Al
but those of one lad were sooty. He, tn,
guilty one, had not ventured to toucl
the telltale kettle.-Youth's Companion

ADVANTAGES OF BOILING MILK.

The practice of subjecting milk to
boiling heat before consumption, notes
the London Lancet has of late been
widely adopted in European countries,
whose public hygiene has hitherto been
such as to counsel every means of min.
inning the conveyance of infection
1t has been shown that milk, after boil
ing, is not only more easily digested,
but has actually a higher nutrient
value than in the crude state. We al
lude especially to DIR. Chamouin's ex-
perlments, i'll which he fed a number
OF kittens on boiIed milk and an equal
number of kittens on the same milk as it
came direct from the COW or goat. Those
OF the former category he found to be
twice as fat and healthy as those Of the
latter Following up this demonstra-
ton, DR.. Chamouin examined the sta
tistlcs officially issued by the town
council OF Paris, as to the infantile
mortality of that city, and finding that
the chief cause of this was, directly or
remotely, intestinal ailments, he prose-
cuted his researches still further, so as
to include a comaprison between those
infants that had been fed on boiled and
those that had been fed Oh unboiled
milk. As he anticipated, he found a
remarkable diminution in the death
rate of the former. His investigation
was continued long enough to show
that thousands of infants are annually
safeguarded from intestinal disease and
death by the precaution of boiling milk
on which they are fed.

THE WORK OF TO-DAY'S CON-
VENTION.

There are a number of silver men here
at the Convention.
There are a great many more silver
men who are not here.
The advocates of free coinage who are
not present look to those who have come
to do everything that can advance the
cause of the white metal, and to do moth
ing that will injure the cause.
Many Democratic silver men are not
here because they doubted the wisdom of
a Convention, but in their far away
homes they are hoping that no unwise or
revolutionary action will be taken.
The resolutions for silver cannot be too
strong.
Resolutions to organize new political
party or to pledge men not to vote for
any candidate unless he favors 16 to 1
cannot be put on the table too quickly.

THE COTTON CROP.

In their circular, Latham, Alexander IL
90, the well-known cotton commission
merchants of New York, state that the
total visible supply of cotton in the world
is 2, 276, $50 bales, or 369, 0J3 bales more
than last year and 1872, O62 bales more
than last year. Toe amount of cotton
that has been marketed this year to last
Friday is 244, 500 bales, which is so, 900
bales less than last year and 81, 009 bales
more than the year before. The total
exports up to last Saturday were Al, 631,
or 1885 bales less than last year and
%, 988 bales less than 1898.
The total stock in ports last Saturday
is put at 362,386 bales, against 300, 677
for 1894, and 314, 1913 for 1898.
Latham, Alexander 81 Co., put the
total crop of the country last year at
1901, PSI bales and its yalure at $3.50, p
800, 616. The total exports were s, 883, p
1873 bales, valued at $2O1, 537, O61 The
total consumption of nothern mills was
2,O83, $50 bales and that of the southern
mills 862, 838 bales. The.average price Of
middling uplands in New York was 6. 80
cents.
The circular takes issue with the re
cent advice of President Hector D.
Lane, president Of the Cotton Growers
Association, on the question holding cot
ton for still better prices. 1t says:
"There is one feature of the situation,
which as yet does not amount to much

force further advance in the price

THE NEXT CONGRESS AND FREE
COINAGE.

The New York Chamber of Commerce
has polled the next House of Representa-
tives and announces that there will be
only IS free silver men in that body. It's
figures are:
For free coinage, 50
Anti-free coinage. 216
Doubtful or views unknown, 81
OF the free silver men 30 are Republi-
cans; 81 Democrats; and Populists.
Five of the North Carolina delegation
are put down for free coinage; against;
and 3 doubtful or views unknown, "
We quote:
''In North Carolina the delegation Of
nine has five free silver members Skin
ner, Woodland, Strowd, Shuford and
Linney-and one, Congressman Settle,
for sound money. The position Of the
remaining three -Lockhart and Shaw
(Dem) and Pearson, (Rep. )-is uncer-
TAIN"
We cannot speak for Mr.. Pearson, who
was elected on silver platform as was
Mr.. Settle, but there is nothing uncertain
about the attitude of Lockhart and
Shaw. They were nominated and elect
ed as free coinage men and they will be
true to their profession if they stand
alone.
There is no surprise in this poll
Everybody knows when the Republicans
carried the House that it would be
overwhelmingly for the gold standard.
1t demonstrates that, while there is great
division in Democratic ranks, the hope
Of silver is in that party.
In the Senate, the poll shows 43
against free coinage; six doubtful, but
with gold leanings; and 80 silver men.
1t puts down Bacon, of Georgia, strong
silver man, as probably against silver;
and includes Baker, Mcbride, and Will
son, all silver men,in the same category.
1t leaves Pasco, Of Florida, silver man,
out of the silver column, as it also does
White, of California, one Of the ablest
Democrats in the Senate. There is no
doubt that the Senate is for silver,

JEFFERSON DAVIS AND FREE
SILVER.

Col. Windy Billy Henderson told the
Lexington correspondent of the Charlotte
Observer that the late Jefferson Davis,
who was then retreating from Rich
mond, and was followed by his cabinet
and eight or ten hundred men, took din
ner with him on April IS, 1865. The
President after dinner asked the Colonel
what he thought he Davis would better
do, and the Colonel answered that it
was better for the President to surren-
der. Bat the President asked: would
Stoneman's men not hang meY' 81 re-

go TO Salem and see Gen. Stoneman, that
| had near relatives in his army, and

haps | might have some influence with
the General The President somewhat
hesitated, but afterwards said he thought
he would cross the Mississippi river and
set up government on special basis
The Richmond Dispatch says that the
coin of the Confederate government was
not in the possession of Mr.. Davis; the
free silver question was not under dis
cussion then, and that it cannot under
stand what is meant by "setting up
government on special basis" After
turning the matter over and viewing it
in all lights, the Dispatch says:
We cannot but think that Colonel
Henderson has mixed the occurrence of
thirty years ago with the events of the
present, and that the free silver discus
sion of to-day has become interviewer
with his recollections of 1865.
