Experiments With Substitutes.
Taking time by the foreIock, many ofthe
manufacturers are already experimenting
with tobacco to be used as substitute for
Havana, when the supply Of the latter shall
entirely fail.
Principal among these substitutes are
Mexican tobacco and tobacco grown from
the Havana seed in Florida and the lower
tier OF States. This last tobacco is a new
experiment, began almost at the time when
the Cuban struggle was entered into
Some enterprising Florida planters, fore
seeinga scarcityof Havana tobacco, bought
identically the same seed as that used in
Cuba, and did everything possible TO make
their leaf as like the Cuban as possible.
They even went 70 the length of employing
native CUbans to teach them the proper
method to be employed in each step Of
tobacco culture
AS a result the Florida plantations, II is
said, are producing leaf which more
nearly approaches the Havana product than
any yet grown in this country.
One of the few local cigar manufacturers
said the other day: 1t seems to me that
this Cuban war Will react TO the benefit Of
the United States. after all The failure
of the Havana crop will give the tobacco
growing Industry Of this country an impetus
which Will undoubtedly last for many years.
Almost Perfect Substitute.
This new leaf grown in the Southern
States is, so far as my experience has gone,
an almost perfect substitute for the oTi gina1
article and Will no doubt eventually 70 a
large extent, displace the Havana leaf, on
account OF the greatly reduced price at
which il can be sold.
The Mexican leaf, on the ether hand,
while it is being used TO a large extent by
New York factories, cannot stay, because
it is too heavy and pungent for the average
smoker of Ilavanas. IU may be used TO q
certain degree as a wrapper but that viii
limit its employment
At all events, those who insist on having
a genuine Havana TO blow out inSmoke must
reconcile themselves 70 a much larger out
lay for the luxury a. the present increase
in price will undoubtedly become much more
accentuated before the Cuban crop agail
assumes its former proportions"

Some idea OF the diIninution in the pro-

following fable, which shows the yields,

various districts of the Vuelta ,AbajO re-
gon. This region, by the way, produces
the very choicest, the creme de la creme, OF

Mckinley as q Warrior.

Take this story for an interesting in
cident: In the reviewing stand an elder
ly woman, whose youthful beauty had
not yet faded, said when Mckinley en-.
tered his little glass house: II haven't
seen him since he was Sheridan's aid in
the Shenandoah valley l was nursing
the sick and wounded Of the Confeder-
ate side at Roots Hill. My patient at
the time was Major McNeill, whose
beard was something like unto that OF
Mr.. PETER. When heard that the Yam
KEGS were in the neighborhood, shaved
off this beard, leaving Major McNeil]
completely disguised. I fooled not only
Major Mckinley, but Sheridan himself.
They visited the house to capture Major
McNeill, but, failing to recognize him,
departed with apologies. That is a per-
fectly true story, and I'm just as good
a rebel as ever. New York Press.

New Advertising scheme.

Brooklyn's school children were just
recovering from prolonged and violent
attack of the button craze when an in
genious advertising agent distributed
among them thousands of small ink
stamps inclosed in round boxes of wood
There was enough red ink in the bottom
of each box to permit the owner Of the
stamp to make 100 impressions adver-
tising the article that the agent repre-
sented. Within two days the children
had stamped their schoolbooks and
whenever it was convenient the white
walls in their schoolhouses, and even
their faces, with this advertisement
The teachers confiscated as many OF
these destructive little toys as they could
lay their hands on, but the damage had
been done. New York Sun.

Mr.. and Mrs. William Jennings Bryan
and their 6-year- daughter Grace left
Washington the other morning for Do

train at the station Abner Mckinley,
the brother Of the president elect, ap-
preached the party and cordially shook
Mr.. Bryan's hand. He was presented to
Mrs. Bryan. Then Mr.. Bryan said,
"This is my daughter Grace.
Mr.. Mckinley held out his hand, with
a pleasant smile. Grace looked up at
him, with frown on her pretty face.
She put her tiny hands behind her back
and shook her head.
won't You shake hands with me?''
asked Mr.. Mckinley in grave voice.

Mr.. Mckinley looked hurt until II
was explained to him that Grace had

If a girl wear her brothers. collars
neckties, scarfpins and other attire to

in self defense wear q pair Of her side
combs?
This is a question in ethics which is
agitating the Boys High school, on
Marcy avenue, Brooklyn. As is the Gus.
tom regarding all important questions
at this school, there has been a practical
demonstration of this situation, and the
intervention Of the power that is" has
given rise to the problem.
No football team in the city excels
that of the Boys High school, This is
largely due to the enthusiasm Of most
of the members, and one member in par
ticular. AS this lad interest has grown
a disinclination for the barber in direct
ratio has been noticeable. And the result
is luxuriant head of hair that is the
pride of the wearer.
Chrysanthemum, Paderewski and 9th

him by his attentive schoolmates and
received with crushing calmness. Wheth-
er this suppressed feeling found an exit
in his hirsute adornment will be prob.
lem for the physics class. but Of late the
boy has experienced great difficulty in
mastering his locks. They rose to all oc-
casiOns
No one will ever know whether some
sympafhizing girl friend or his own per-
ceptions suggested remedy, but early
last week this Paderewski pro tenn. ap-
peared at school with his hair deco
rously adjusted with the aid of pair OF
essentially feminine side combs. 1t did
not take the boys long to appreciate the
situation. The fingers Of ely one in
the class simply itched for a chance at
those combs. Finally it came.
In the midst Of an abstruse calculation
ahand stole softly forward. Itwas hard
ly quick enough. WidI subtle conscious
ness, engendered possibly by a warning
kick, the wearer of the combs ducked,
and at the same time his arm flew back
ward. The two arms met with consider
able force. An investigation followed,
and the culprits were dispatched to DIR.

DIR. Mickleborough ordered the imme-
