A Hint to Sm0kerk

Many tobacco smokers consider that
little light specks on the wrapper Of a
cigar indicate a good article. Very few
know how those specks get there.
If on a hot day, when the sun has
been beating down ON the tobacco plants,
a sudden thunder shower should come
up and sprinkle the leaves with the i'm
mense drops Of rain SO common in Cuba,
and it should then suddenly clear up,
the sun coming out brightly again, the
drops Of water on the leaves will act az
lenses and concentrate the suns rays,
which burn the little specks upon the
tobacco.
The tobacco must be ripe in order that
the sun may give this effect. On accoun,

From. Horace Greeley.


In the American Yearbook and Reg
lister for 1869 was an article on Cur
rency and Finance" by Horace Greeley.
Two paragraphs sketched with mas
ter hand the effect upon industry and
commerce of a diminution OF the sup
ply of gold and silver money. They
are as follows:
"Rome, having absorbed the then civ
ilized world, and having, by the intro
duction, or liberation, of slavery, de
graded labor and discouraged indus
trial progress, the discovery OF mines
and the production of the precious
metals nearly ceased;; while. the lnxur-
| ious tastes and habits of the wealthy
| impelled a continual Importation of
silks, spices, etc., from india and CHI
ma, which took little but, gold. and silver
in return The circulating medium OF
exchanges and payments being thus
insensibly drawn away and not re-
placed, the Roman Empire langulshed
under a growing dearth of money and
a steady decline Of prices. AS fixed
property constantly depreciated!in- val
ne, those who bought on credit were
too often unable to pay at maturity,
and so sank into hopeless insolvency.
Hence, labor lacked employment, since
few chose to plant or build Or4imprOEe,,
when the resulting property would be-
worth less than it's cost. Population,
wealth. prosperity, all declined and
dwindle6I under the combined influence
Of labor in shacllles and enterprise and

of Christian nifty, the fruits of successive

KEEP SHY OF PORTAGE.

Tramps Do Not Favor that City Tor VIM
ter Quarters.
Portage, Wis, July 29.-[Special]-
Columbia county is fast becoming known
as one Of the few counties in the state
that have almost solved the tramp ques-
ton The bulk Of the tramp business
for the entire county is done in this city
and this has been the condition. of affairs
for many years past. This is partly due
to the fact that the railroad facilities for
getting into Portage are hrst-class, and
partly because Portage has until recent
ly been considered as a Mecca by the
profession and thousands of them made
an autumnal journey hither for the pur-
pose of securing comfortable winter
quarters. Once in the city it was an
easy matter to keep in Jail, for as soon
as released they were rearreSted and
again committed under another name.
Although these "repeaters" were very
frequently identified by the officials, no
objection was urged to their relncarcera-
ton as the fees were the same as in the
cases of new offenders. But affairs in
this line have undergone a radical
change. Fees for the arrest and COM
mitment of tramps have been reduced,
tramDs are now boarded for actual cost
of provisions, and the county maintains
a ''secret service" which renders it ex-
tremely dangerous for officials to enter
into any connivance whereby they may
reap extortional benefits at the expense
of the county, were they so inclined.
During the first four months of 1895 the
total number of commitments at the
county Jail were 1913 while for the
same period this year the number was
only. 231 The amount allowed the
sheriff for the commitment and discharge
of prisoners is Is cents for each prIs-
oner. Thus it will be seen that quite
a saving is effected in the items of conn
mitments and discharges alone. Adding
to this amount the estimated cost of
feeding the excess of prisoners of last
year over this VIII swell the total saving
to the county to nearly $4,000 for the
months of January, February, ManeA'
