An Eject on Wrappers which Es sa-
cured by Artificial Means.

An Eject on Wrappers which Il See
cured by ARTIFICIAL Means.
For some years the taste-or, rather.
the fancy-of cigar-smokers has run to
light brands and spotted wrappers. This
fancy has caused the price Of light-col-
Ored Sumatra tobacco to 90 away above
dark colors in the same grades and
brands. says the Hartford COurant. At
first the fad was peculiarly American
ana then there was not so much dll-
ference in the prices of light and dark
Sumatra, for the dark cOlOrs could be
disposed Of to advantage in other coun-
tries. But now manufacturers every
where want the lightest cOlors that can
be obtained. To meet this demand the
growers Of Sumatra have secured
lighter average color by cutting their
tobacco earlier. Thus they obtain an
advantage in color. but the quality Of
the tobacco suffers. But it has been
anything to get light colOrs.
Until recently. however. all attempts
to give tobacco the much-admired spots
artihciaIly have failed. The knowl-
edge Of smokers that the spots have oc-
Cured naturally in the tobacco Leaf
without the aid OF man has added to
the value in which they are held. Va
riOus acids and other chemicals have
been tried, but these, If they had any
effect upon the tobacco, simply burned
holes IN it instead Of producing the de-
sired spots. It seems now. however.
that these spots can be made artihcany.
A composition fluid has been discovered
which when sprinkled on the growing
leaves Will leave on the matured to-
bacco as beautiful spots as any which
nature produces. At least one field OF
tobacco in Bloomfield was treated that
way this year and the owner has lot
Of Connecticut wrappers which he exc
poets to obtain a big price for on acc
count Of its handsome spots.

Philadelphia Times, are smart. core

late in life are apt to grow cross and

husband she should examine his hair
very closely before accepting him, be-
cause it is a fine indication Of what his

less apt to be selfish than their very

without any knowledge Of their real abili-

when their machinery breaks down and
the race is ended disastrously to them. Let
every man stick to his trade, sir This is
a good motto all round. Any man who is
busily engaged in doing one thing gets to
know a good deal about that subject by
his experience and it is this experience
that is valuable, and thus every man be-
comes a specialist in his chosen work. The
carpenter who is used to building frame
houses is by far the best man to trust to
build one-far better than he who only
knows city work, where brickwork IS the

A reasoning man does nothing without
q cause, the cause leads to effect, and the
effect is that which carries out bis ideal
and the best counterpart Of what his rea-
soning powers have led him up to. One
Of the principal things that cOnduoe to the
comfort and convenience of mankind is the
habitation and the results of science, art
and invention that are contained therein.
These latter improvements for the COM
forts Of mankind have been very numerous
the past few years, and today it costs no
more to utilize these improvements and
inventions than it did few years ago TO
get along without them. One Of the most
marked improvements relntes to sanitary
matters in plumbing goods and futures.
This is a line that gives longer life and
better health TO the inmates and also adds
much to the artistic appearance Of the
home. Another has been in heating and
cooking apparatus, and while the improve
lnents have been going on the prices have
been correspOndingly reduced. The inn
Drovements in interior finish and decora-
tions have alsD kept psce, and beautiful in
terriers are now the rule and not the exeep-
tiOn. Simplicity and dignity have. placed
their stamp on external faces, and taste
and refinement are fast giving way to old
time vulRarity. This result has been
brought about by thought and reason. and
it is due to the thinking architects that
this change exists and Is working cut it
self In such good form.
