openly thank Weyler for his edict. They

~ is good tobacco near home.
There is a tobacco known as "cimmer."
1T Is very good medium tobacco, one
liked for every day smoking. 1t Is not
a brand, but rather a condition. 1t is
the medium, not very gilt-edged nor at all
low class, just for regular every day
wear. This tobacco is raised in great
quantities in Ohio, Wisconsin and Massa-
chusetts. They call II the Spanish CHM
mer"
In Ohio II brings IS cents per pound. In
Wisconsin II brings cents a pound, and
in the other states about the same. This
tobacco the manufacturers handle with
wink a you. 1t is so very much Ike the

say openly this is Spanish tobacco. But

hundred thousand bales are there, each
Ddle weighing AiU pUuHu5t WHICH makes

It's customs duty is about IS cents per
pound for filler and S1.50 for wrapper
This seems dear. but the customs duty
on tobacco Is much more than the first
price per pound. It has been slyly limited
that Il the feeling for domestic tobacco
continues as II is this will not be taken
out of the custom house, for the native
tobacco will do as well and be much
cheaper.
The cry that cigars viii go up in price

as it should have been. Tobacco manu-
facturers themselves knew the superior
ity of the native tobacco, but they could
not convince the man who smokes. And
so the farmer, after his toll and care,
had to take medium prices.
But all this is changed now. Weyler
allows the made-up cigar to come into
this country, but there is a slight mis-
understanding about the tobacco leaf, and
this is the farmers rejoicing.
The annual production of tobacco in
the United States has been growing
greater and greater for several years
past 1t has never been known as a to-
bacco-growing country, because 1t has not
produced all the leaf 1t wanted. But all
who know our agricultural possibilities
say there is no reason why a leaf Of the
imported tobacco should ever be asked
for here again.
In Pennsylvania the tobacco product
has been very large. Last year sixty-four
and a half millions Of pounds were
raised and sold in that state alone.
Dealers received 1t, and it Is slyly limited
that many of the excellent Havanas were
not so very different from the tobacco of
Pennsylvania. This tobacco sold in its
raw state for centseper pound. and was
eagerly grabbed up by the makers.
The popularity Of Pennsylvania tobac-
co is that It is a gummy leaf. The to-
DdCcO ledL llSelL - lnt sAdpt anu size
Of the rubber house-plant 1t might cas-
fly be mistaken for it. It grows about
four feet nigh and bears a slender
yeined leaf. In the keystone state this
leaf has a close texture and a gummi-
ness that units it for wrappers, but
makes it very fine for filler. 1t could
he substituted, 1t is said, for the best
Cuban filler in the world without detec-
ton by experts.
Since the prohibitory notice Of the Ha-
vana leaf, this price has gone up, and the
next bargains that are made will show
1t from 60 to 70 cents per pound. That is
for the present, until the tobacco pro-
duction gets well going In this country;
then Il must, of course, come down. This
will not be for some time, because to-
bacco is a slow crop. After 1t Is grown
it must be dried a season in the sun, and
the long curing process eats up more than
a year from the time the leaf is gath
cred.
The Florida tobacco production is some
thing of which every tobacco manufac-
turer is proud. IT Is so very fine The
most careless growers can get 45 cents a
pound for it. But me trouble Is that
there Is so very little of the crop It
grows luxuriously enough, but with the

extraordinary skin Grating.

From the Chicago Tines Herald
DR.. Nicholas Sem has made a success
Of an extraordinary operation in skin
grating Nothing Of the kind was ever
tried before, and the eminent Chicago
surgeon has startled his medical breth-
rem again by his daring, and is receiving
their plaudits for the triumph of his re-
markable experiment.
The parboiled hand of a man, devoid
of skin on the back was inserted in a
puncture made between the skin and flesh
or the mans own stomach three weeks
ago and fastened there literally in a
sling Of skin and flesh. Yesterday II was
removed and It was found that the skin
OF the stomach had grown TO the back
of the hand II was carefully treated,
trimmed down TO where II should grow,
and a triumph in the surgery of skin
grafting was made public.
The patient is e. t. Lyday, cashier of
the First National Bank OF Newton, Ia.
He has been a resident and business man
OF that place for years. Mr.. Lyday was
a victim Of wreck on the Chicago. Rock
Island and Pacific railway, at GrinnelI,
Ia, in 1884, The '"hot air. pressure on
a coach at that time severely scalded
his face and hands. He was Scared for
life In the course OF time he recovered
the use of his left hand, but his right
he lost control of It, The member was
like a piece OF mangled beef. The skin
was hopelesSly and permanently gone,
from fnger-tip to wrist.
Being possessed Of means, Mr.. I.yday
sought the best Of surgical aid regard
less OF expense, but without avail, until
recently. Several weeks ago he came to
Chicago and went to St. Josephs hospital
DIR. Sem was summoned.
The surgeon found that the hand baf-
fed all old remedies at grating. He fin
ally decided to make an experiment as
the last hope for relief. Lyday shuddered
at the suggestion, but pluckily agreed to
the test DR. Sem decided that the
chance was to slice a piece Of skin in
Lyday's breast or stomach so that the
hand could be inserted therein between
the skin and flesh, thus practically maxi
ing a sling of skin and flesh in which the
patient could rest his dlshgured hand
Lyday first submitted to the knife April
%. A piece Of skin three inches In width,
five inches long and a quarter OF an inch
thick was skilfully cut. The unique BAN
dage was lifted to permit the insertion OF
the mangled and scalded hand which
needed a new covering. The hand was
placed in this novel grating device a few
weeks ago. Yesterday the triumph was
complete. The skin had grown on the
back of the hand, and a process was
promptly applied to substitute another
skin on the stomach and breast, from
which the strip had been transferred to
the hand
A photographer took advantage of the
opportunity and several good negatives OF
the achievement were secured Mr. Lyday
is in excellent spirits, and DIR. Sem nat
urally is proud Of the success of this
novel experiment.

''The Tornado" has cleared the way of every doubt as to the success of Lincolon J. Carter's second pro- duction of scenic melodrama. "The Fast Mail'' was his first effort. and before it's presentation wise heads scoffed at the things Mr. Carter said he could present to makeit anOvelty, but he did all he said he would, and made d fortune besides. His an- nouncements for "The Tornado" was equally surprising, but the fourteen newspapers of Chicago, where he chose to launch his pew work, were a unit in pronnncing it as the perfection of melodramatic work, the superior of every scenic melodrama before the public.
