upon her. He said goo" very dis
good deal. He clutched so cordially
at the various forefngers presented
to him that many of the visitors de-
clared that he would make an admire
able president of the United States,
since he had inherent faculty for ex-
tending the glad hand. Mrs. Cleve-

of convalescecne, was permitted for
few hours to receive the congradula-
tons of her friends, who clustered at

The Curing of Tobacco.

To cure tobacco so as to develop its
fragrant flavor is no difficult matter.
The leaf is carefully cut from the stem
as soon as it begins to turn yellow,
which indicates ripeness. The leaves
must be carefully handled, and not
bruised. They are strung by the stems
on stiff wires, twelve or so on each, and
hung up in an airy place, not too dry;
an upper room Is good place for them,
or an open attic. There they dry
slowly and fully ripen. They may stay
in this way until damp day, when they
may be handled without breaking.
They are tied in punches of twelve by
the stalks and slightly spread by twist
ing strip of a leaf around these
punches, which are called hands, AS
the hands are tied they are laid to-
gether, the tips tapping and the butts
out, in a square heap on which piece
of board, for a small quantity, Is
placed, and a weight is put on the
board They stay in this way for sew
eral weeks, warming up to some ex-
tent. and this fermentation is necessary
to complete the ripening and to develop
the fragrance and flavor. After again
being dried by hanging few days or be-
ing spread, to check the fermentation,
the hands are packed in tight boxes
where they finally cure and became
marketable or disable. Nothing more Is
needed for use. But 1t is a common
practice for home use to dip the leaves
in sweet water or diluted molasses, and
twist them into a sort Of short ropes,
doubling them and thus making what
is commonly called pig tail. This may
be used in this condition for smoking
or chewing. Plug tobacco is made by
LAYING the leaves, stripped from the
stems and dipped in sweetened water.
into suitable moulds and pressing them
under heavy press worked by screw,
until they become solid cakes. Various
fiayoring stuffs are used by the manu-
facturers of tobacco for sale.-Ex.

Put In Jail.

Put In Jail.
Kansas City, Oct. 30.-Will Carr, the
,elf-confessed murderer of his own
.hild, was taken to Liberty, Mo-, yes
serday morning and is now in Jail
here. So far no attempt has been
made to lynch him. The feeling in
Liberty, however, is intense against
Mrs. Carr as well as her husband. The
chances of a lynching, therefore, are
very uncertain. The wise ones of the
town say there is no telling what the
people may do. They say that there
are persons whose hands are aching to
be laid on Carr and that it will be
hardship for these men to wait until
the law can take its course.
The grand jury will consider his case
Wednesday, November 3, when he will
be indicted and the date of his trial
fixed. Mrs. Carr's bail was fixed at
B., 200, which was furnished by her ia

cropped close from the top of the head

then really new in the country, having
supplanted the wooden cap or hood, is
thrown jauntily on one side; it is high
and tapering toward the crown and has
band around it, richly adorned with
precious stones, or by goldsmith's
work, and this gives support to one Of
