HINTS ON TOBACCO CURING.

Major Ragland in his treatise on
tobacco curing, says:
For all practical purposes, when
ever the curer has mastered knowledge
Of the effects Of too much or too little
heat, as evidenced in the color Of tob-
acco, clearly described heretofore, he
possesses a key to solve the difficult
problem in the science Of curing to-
bacco. By close observation this lesson
may soon be learned and then success
is easy. There is an occasional barn
OF tobacco that dehes all the known
modes and appliances to yellow or
cure bright.
After curing, as soon as the tobacco
is sufficiently soft to move, you may
run it up in the roof of the barn and
crowd it close, or if the barn isneeded
for other curings, the tobacco may be
carried to the storage barn or bulked
down in any dry house on the pre-
misses. But be sure that nothing is
bulked with green stalks or swelled
stems, for if such are placed down il
bulk it will be sure 20 heat and utterly
ruin.

Willing to Oblige.

They are telling story at the ex-
pense of a young North Carolina girl.
The girl is charming. but like a great
many other charming people she is
poor. She never has more than two
evening gowns in a season, and the
ruin of one of them is always a very
serious matter to her. She went to a
little dancing party last week, and she
wore brand new white frock. During
the evening great big red faced per-
spring man came up and asked her to
dance. He wore no gloves. She
looked at his well-meanins but moist
hands despairingly, and thought of the
immaculate back of her waist. She
hesitated a minute, and then she said
with winning smile
"Of course. I'll dance with you, but
II you don't mind, won't you please use
your handkerchief:' The man looked
at her blankly a moment or two.
Then light broke over his face.
why, certainly" he said.
And he pulled out his handkerchief
and blew his nose.-Lite's Calendar.

Jeff Davis on Horace GreeIy.

During the course Of ramble
through the State Capitol at Mont
gomery, Ala, fell in with the late
Ex-Governor Watts. An Old portrait
of Mr.. Watts was among the many
llkenesses of eminent Alabamians
which adorned the walls of the library,
and | could not help observing its re-
semblance to the picture of Mr.. Greeley
when he was in manhood's prime.
Mr.. Watts smiled as though he were
pleased with the comparison, and l
asked him if he cared to give his esti-
mate of the character of the man who
undoubtedly stood for a greater power
against the policies of the Southern
leaders and statesmen than any other
man of his time. Upon rejecting a
moment he said he would answer my
question by telling me how Jefferson
Davis replied to an inquiry of his re-
garding Mr.. Greely.
1t was just after Mr.. Davis had re-
turned from Fortress Monroe and Mr..
Wattswas curious to know what his
vanquished, though unreconciled, chief
thought of Mr.. Greeley's singular action
in signing the famous bail bond. He
therefore put this direct question to
him:
"Mr. Davis, what do you think
impelled Mr.. Greeley to do what he
did?''
"Now, Mr. Davis was nothing if not
earnest and emphatic in his converse
tion,' said Mr.. Watts, land after re-
spending in sort of Yankee fashion by
asking me if / knew Mr.. Greely. and
receiving a negetative reply, he said,
81 thought you did not know him:
or you would not have asked that
question. There was but oac under
lying motive in that mans action and
that was pure goodness Hepertormed
that service to me because he is great
big hearted man. "A letter in the

A friend will give, and aid with pusre

And crushing weights seem lighter grown

When death steals in our homes and skulks

How sweet friend who'll love you to the

The Glory of Youth.

a few days ago senator John ].
ingalls, addressed the students OF the
Kansas university, Lawrence In the
course of his remarks he said:
'It is magnihcen, TO be young. There
is superb glory and fascination abou,
youth. The morning of life, the
sprlngtime of the soul. Youth is the
enviable epoch. We lose something
when We cease to be young for which
time brings no equivalent or Compen-
sation. OF youth everything can be
predicted. The heroes. the artists,
the poets, the philosophers, the leaders
OF the bar, the great captains of indus
try are young. The wealth, the pleas
ures, the dignities, the destinies of the
World are the inevitable heritage of
the young. Some Of these heirs OF
fame and fortune and felicity | have
no doubt are here, but as they look
back from the apex and high divide
Of success, and recall this hour, they
will feel that there is no JOY which the
world can give like that it takes away
when We cease to be young. To us
who have taken our places ands done
our work comes the desolating thought
that we shall grow no more. We have
been weighed and most of us found
wanting. We have been scrutinized,
gauged, and measured. Our specific
gravity or levity, our cubic contents
and our dew point have been ascertain
ed and registered; we have become
monotonous. The earth grows fatigued
with US, but it greets the young
with ardent and and impatient accla-
nation. The young are to do the
work and win the victories in the fu-
ture, and there are many TO be won.
They are to reinforce the wasting ranks
and fill up the skeleton regiments of
conquering armies Of the civilization
OF the twentieth century. Life's un-
desirable Civilizations may subslde; its
hope and fate may chill and grow dim
with years; its undismayed courage
may falter at last; its daring dreams
OF conquest may shoulder to embers
and gray ashes, but the unforgotten
radiance of youth sheds an imperish-
able lustre upon the wrinkled and ven
cradle earth from the golden and
purple tlsSure Of the eastern sky. 1t
would, thereof, be fiction and insin-
certify to pretend to be unconscious Of
the honor and the opportunity Of
appearing before these chosen repre-
sentatives of the youth Of Kansas, or to
be unmoved by the pathetic but in
spring suggestions Of the place and
the hour

Editor MarshaIIs Census Scheme
and What a Leading Publication
says About it-Other Towns are
Following Suit.
lNewspaperdom, New York CITY /

lNewspaperdom, New York City,I
One OF the most praisewor,hy
schemes we have ever known for in
creaslng circulation is that recently
put in practice by Mr.. w. F. Marshall,
publisher of the Gastonia IN. c.
La2eHe, progressive and clean seven
column folio weekly which we have
before had occasion 10 call attention to
on account of the spirit of enterprise
exhibited by its publishers.
The scheme we have particular ref
erence to is the taking of a complete
census of the town. 1t is the best ad-
vertlsement that could possibly have
Deen gwen the locality,-and, indeed,
we know OF no place which could be
better advertised to the outside world
than by the publication of complete
census OF its inhabitants. Such
scheme arouses the interest of the en-
tire community. The taking of CEN
sus always marks an important epoch
in the history of town or city, and
tends to add to the money value of
every fixture within its limits.
TAKEN All A TINE MOST OPpORrUNE.
A particularly important point in
connection with this census lies in the
fact that it was taken on June I, sos,
that day being the central point be-
tween the regular government census
dates OF June I, 1890, and June 1,
1900. We believe the credit is due to
Mr.. Marshall for being the only mem
Der OF the newspaper fraternity to
whom the happy thought occurred of
improving such an opportune occasion
by obtaining and publishing a census
OF the people. 1t is an event worthy
OF being thronicled in the history of
the state, and the information obtained
thereby will undoubtedly be used in
the compilation of future documents
relative to the growth of the vicinity.
HOW THE WORK WAS DONE.
The introduction to the statistics
contains a declaration Of the objects of
the census; classified list Of the per-
sons counted and omitted, and some
rules governing the work of enumera-
tors. Then follows the ward divisions
and name of the individual in charge
of the Canvass for each ward. The
report itself covers not only the statis-
tics OF population, but those of educa-
ton and church membership. The
tedious work of classification and COM
pilation was all done in the Gazette
office, and completed in time for the
regular edition, which also contained
the usual complement of general
news.
1t Is needless to say that such an un.
dertaking created great demand for
the paper, and an extra large edition
had to be printed to satisfy the
call
A GUESSING CONTEST WHICH DIDN'T
NEED A PRIZE.
One other feature connected with
this remarkable work was the publica-
ton of list Of guesses on the number
OF inhabitants, which had been called
for in a previous issue; and curious
fact brought out by these figures was
that the lowest guesses were by the
oldest inhabitants. No prize was Of
