 Tt is to be hoped that if settlement of the question can be hurried up Lord Salisbury will do it, but surely President Cleveland cannot wish to rush us out of just claims

An amateur gardener has had a great
deal of trouble. year after year, with a
certain bed in her flower garden. Ii was
so infested by ants that nothing could
grow there, but was invariably devoured
by the insects. She tried every vernin
destroyer known, with boiling water and
other preventives, all without success
At length she found that portion of the
outer boarding of the shed which stood
near this bed was decayed and needed
renewal When thee boards We're taken

ants, which, being destroyed, disappear

The Great Tobacco War.

Many of our readers know of the
war existing between the manufact-
urers of plug chewing tobacco, but
few, perhaps, are familiar with the
cause
For years some manufacturers have
been making enormous profits by
giving consumers a small piece OF
plug for ten cents. Recently a very
large manufacturer, seeing that the
time had come for better things, has
placed new brand called Battle AK
on the market, which gives the con
sumer very large piece of most ex
cellent quality for the same price.
This has raised a great storm among
those who are hurt by it, but it gives
Joy to those who use the goods. In
Battle AK they get a greater quantity
for their money, while the quality is
equal to the finest of other brands.
This has naturally had the effct of
decreasing the business of those who
have held the old way, and it has
materially curtailed their enormous
profits. On the other hand Battle
Ak now taxes the resources of three
large factories, which, by running
night and day, are still unable to
make the goods fast enough to satisfy
the enthusiastic demand
The people want a good thing and
the most of it they can get for the
price. The manufacturers who do
the best by them viii get their trade.
Their rivals naturally do not like it.
They raise a mighty howl, but the
Ak will cut them down.
