SUMATRA TORACCO.

Some of the Difficulties Against Which
Growers of the Weed Contend.
Only the strongest and most ex-
perienced coolies can properly cultivate
an acre and quarter, and even with
them the last third of the field is much
inferior to the rest. Besides, says Good
Words, tobacco is attacked by several
insect enemies, and particularly by
small green caterpillars and large
grasshoppers In tobacco intended for
'sflling,'' or manufacture, a few holes
on the leaf are of less consequence, but
wrappers to be of any use, must be
without flaw, and the S'worms," un~
less carefully hand-picked, will reduce
the profits to very small margin
Another popularity is that if the to-
bacco is flooded, even to the depth of
an inch, it instantly perishes, and a
large part of the expenses Of an estate
consists of an elaborate system OF
ssparits,' or drains, to carry off storm
water-a difficult thing to do in the
level coast districts. At length the
leaves of first-planted ':trees" begin to
wrinkle and show yellow spots, and
now the peculiar labor system comes
Into action. Each afternoon the coolie
cuts his ripened tobacco and carries it
to the ''bangsul," or drying shed, of
which there is one to every ten fields.

THE UPAS TREE.

1t Was Invented by Wag to Trick tho
Great Malone.
Perhaps the deftest artist in this de-
partment of fabrication was George
Stevens, the S}nalxespearean commen-
tator. Animated by an inapish spirit of
trickery, to which jealousy of rival an
tiquaries may have lent a spice of
malice, he industriously devised cum
ming snares for their feet. He would,
for example, disseminate fictitious IL
Illustrations of Shakespeare's text, in or
der that Malone, who was his chief
butt, might be entrapped into adopting
them, and give him the qualification of
correcting the blunder in his next edi-
ton. Under the pseudonynes of Col
Inns and Amner, he would insert para
graphs in the daily press purporting to
be curious extracts from rare books,
copies of which no one who wished to
verify the passages ever succeeded in
discovering.
Among these curiosities was the ro-
mantle story that has found it's way in
to Todds Life of Milton, of the poets
having been seen asleep under tree by
a lady who became enanored of his
beauty and placed in his hand some i'm
passioned verses of Guarini, which,
when he awoke. so fred his fancy that
he made a journey to Italy in the hope
of tracing her. Another was the story
OF the deadly upas tree Of Java, which
long obtained credit as one of the fairy
tales of science.

Th,ef,s Clever Ruse,

A man, wearing q large cape coat en-
tered London store when the proprie-
tor was alone, and asked to be shown
some ladies' cloaks, as he wished to give
his wife little surprise. After care
full inspection, he fixed upon one, and
asked the shopkeeper if he had q young
lady at hand, to put on the cloak to see
how it looked. The proprietor re-
GREETED that none of the ladies of the
establishment were in at that moment.
SWELL" said the man, perhaps you
wouldn't object to putting it on your
self?' The unsuspecting shopkeeper
slipped on the cloak, buttoned it, and
tured round IN all directions. Mag
nifcent!' exclaimed the purchaser,
with seeming ecstasy. But at the same
time he grabbed the till, which he hid
under his cape, and bolted out Of the
store. The Mortified proprietor rushed
after him into the street, where, how
ever, he was seized by the passers-by,
who dragged him back into his store in
the superstition that the poor fellow
had gone mad, and before he could ok
plain matters the rogue had disap-
peared s5

WATER IN WELLS.
Its Movements Carefully Noted by Skilled
Scientists.


Messrs Ricco and Arcidiacono have
been observing during the past three
years, at the observatory of Catania,
Sicily, the variations Of level of the the
water in well, says the Cosmos of
Paris They classify the movements
into progressive annual movements and
accidental movements, and occupy
themselves especially with the latter,
which they subdivide into meteoric and
geodynamic. These latter consist Of
feeble but marked changes of level,
generally by lowering of the surface,
corresponding to various movements of
the ground. Shortly before the erup-
ton of Etna i'm 1892, and during several
months afterward, the oscillations of
level were extremely irregular. Of 80
earthquakes, 81 caused sudden changes
in the height Of the water during "a
hours; Is less marked oscillations also
correspondent to notable oscillations of
the tronometer. Prof. King, in the
United States, has made observations Of
the same nature in Wisconsin. There
the oscillations were due not to natural
movements of the ground, but to it's
disturbance by heavily loaded trains
passing within about 50 yards OF the
we'll. Under these circumstances the
water rose invariably sometimes by q
quarter of centimeter (about one
tenth of an inch}, but it resumed its
former level after few seconds.

It is said that at one of the recent re-

THE SEVEN STARS.
A Strange Superstition of the Ancient
Egyptians.

Strange Superstition of the Ancient
Egyptians.
In ancient Egypt the body of Osiris
was always sealed up in the ark dur
ing the month of November, because
the people believed that the seven stars
were seven brothers sailing their ships
across the sky and carrying with them
the souls of the dead. The people of
ancient Gaul believed that the angels
and the souls of great men held a
celestial festival on that particular
night in November, when both the full
moon and the seven stars were on the
meridian at the same hour. The Hot
tentots of South Africa and the Abb
pones of South America each claim that
the seven stars are their deceased IA
theirs and grandfathers. Cakes says:
"Certain tribes in both Africa and
South America hold that the seven
stars is (are) their father (fathers), and
welcome their return with festivities
and much rejoicing The ancient
Mexicans always sacrificed human
being and kindled sacred fire (made
of seven frebrands) on his back when
the seven stars and the moon were on
a certain meridian together. The Pc
ruvians also had seven stars cere-
monies, but without sacrifice, at about
the time the Mexicans were carrying
on their paganistic rites. The ancient
Druids believed the seven stars to be
boats, which carried souls to the judg-
ment seat of the ''god of the dead"

PROTECTION or IRON COLUMNS
Bricks Laid in Portland Cement Success
, fully Withstand Fire.

Bricks Laid in Portland Cement Success
fully Withstand Fire.
Some experiments were recently made
by the building inspection department.,
Vienna, on the protection of iron from
fire by casing it with brick, says Engi-
neering. A wrought iron column
twelve feet long, and built up OF two
channels connected by lattice bars, was
used. This was set up in a small cham
Der constructed Of brick, and the
column was loaded by levers. This
done, it was surrounded by four and
one-half inch brick wall laid in fire-clay
mortar. The wall did not fit closely
around the column, and advantage was
taken in this to fix there samples OF
fusible metals, and which should serve
as gauge of the temperature attained.
Various samples of stone concrete and
other materials were also placed in the
chamber within the column. This cham
Der was then filled with split firewood,
which was lighted, and the doors inn
mediately walled up with slabs of plas-
ter of paris. After the fire had broken
out the doors were broken in and a
stream of water turned into the room
from fourteen horsepower fire en-
CINE. An examination of the room next
showed that the walls of brick. Laid in
Portland cement, retained their
strength, while most OF the material
stone left in the chamber had been de-
stroyed. The ceiling, had been lined
partly with plaster of paris and partly
with terra Gotta tiles. Both were DAM
aged. The Enclosure around the iron
pillars was still standing firm, though
corners of the brick-work were clipped
one inch or so, and the fire clay mortar
was largely washed out of the joints.
On removing the casing, however, the
pillar was found to be injured, even the
paint being unscorched, and the fusible
plugs only showed a temperature OF
one hundred and forty-nine degrees
Fahrenheit.

influence of Indian Soldiers on the 1nhab.
jtants OF Central Africa.
In a recent issue Of the British Cen
trail Africa Gazette correspondents
gives some interesting particulars OF
the progress made in the district at the
northeastern end of Mount Ailanje since
it's occupation by the administration
and the building of Fort Lister, which
Fl. ii. johnson planted in that region
to command the route frequently taken
by slave caravans from the interior to
Ouillmane. Among other matters
which he notices as due to the presence
of the Sikh soldiers who garrison Fort
Lister is the beginning OF what is prac-
tically a new language. where the
Indian soldiers are to be found there
will also be found most extraordinary
language, a mixture Of Hindustahl,
Swahili, Yao and Chinyanja. This is
most remarkable near Fort Lister. 1t
is one of the newest languages on
earth; it cannot be more than year
old, but is well understood by the reo-
pie. The vocabulary is limited, and as
for the grammar it is as yet uniformed,
but am confident that should the In
dian soldier remain in this country
another five years the philologist will
be delighted to study the ndo-Afrlcan
language of the future and to trace to
their origin the marvellous words COM
posing it. The same correspondent
notes that with the advent of the Sikhs
a wonderful change has come over the
habits and manners Of the native.
Where formerly his wants in the mat
ter of clothing were confined to SUI
afcient calico to clothe his family and
himself, he now requires boots, tur-
bans, trousers and coats, and at a dis
lance it is said to be now difficult to
distinguish the half-naked savage OF a
year ago from the Sikh soldier in his
ordinary dress. Another matter in
which the African initiates the Sikh is
in the military salute, with which the
native now frequently accompanies the
greeting of Europeans, the result being
more amusing than correct"

HE HAD. PLUCK.
Even If the Poor little Chap Was Dressed
as Little Lord Fauntleroy.

Even III the Poor Little Chap Was Dressed
as Little Lord Eauntleroy.
The poor little chap wore heavy
pea jacket of blue cloth, mounted with
brass buttons, large red tie which
tickled his peaked face, and leather
leggins, which covered up the rest Of
him, except his long golden curls. On
the top of those he wore a blue sailor
cap. His mother, says the New York
Herald, gave him to Third avenue car
conductor, with injunctions to set him
off somewhere, and then went to a. shop
on Grand street. Later on, boy Of
his own age, but dressed in knicker-
bockers and wooden stockings, squeezed
beside him on the seat and pulled one
of his curls. The little boy with the
golden hair grinned weakly, but had as
much chance to retaiate as trussed
chicken, and when looked over at him
sympathetically and warned the other
boy away, he hoped off his perch and
came over to my side and said:
''Say, miste~, help me off with these
things, will you?"
He threw his cap under the seat and
J. uuUOUCOuCu u11S pea JoSASo <1IAA oAAO
hot, stiff leggins, and held them on my
knee, wondering what would follow.
The pale little boy gave his curls a
shake and sprang at the other with sur
prising agility. Together they rolled
on the floor of the car, and before we
could separate them the little boy with
the blonde curls would never have been
recognized by his mother. But he shed
no tears. He put on his coat. hung the
leggins over his arm, and climbed up
beside me. Then he remarked:
''Say, mister, I'd slugged that fell
low, if he hadn't got a grip on my
hair"
When that boy got off the car gave
him the price of hair cut; and told
him to go home with a closely cropped
head. I hope his mother will forgive
me, but it's shame to grow curls on a
bow like that.

Cinnamon of Australia, when they
take notion to marry, write to mat
rimonial agent in Hong Kong some
thing as follows: ST want Q wife. She
must be maiden under twenty years
of age, and must not have left her IA

be as sparkling as the pearls of Ceylon.
Her breath must be like unto the
scents Of the magnificent odorous
groves of Java, and her attire must be
from the silken weavers of Ka-la-C Ching,
which are on the banks of the greatest
river in the world-the overhowing
