ALBANY, Or, May :. lses.
To THR CITIZENS or ALBANY:
thoughi would INFORM the citizens
Of Albany in regard 10 our meeting we
bad with Mr. Alfred Stillmau. the man.
Ager OF the Pacific Coast Underwriters
Association, that Was there with the
balance OF the insurance agents OF Al
hauy, and the 6rst question Mr.. stillmsn
Was asked in regard 10 the trouble was
what proposition he nad TO make in re-
gard to the raise of Is per cent insurance
rate in the city of Albany. Mr. Ssillman
told us the only way he could see was
TO have the citizens OF Albany have the
city council repeal the ordnance OF Ii
eensing the IL surance agents $50. The
Board nj Underwriters would repeal the
extra Is per cent on the insurance policy.
That Is the only way the matter can be
settled and IL the city council doesn't re.
peal the Law the Is per cent will be en-.
forced. One Of our agents ssked Ar.
Stillman IL the ordinance would be re-
pealed IL the insurance companies would
reduce the rates. Mr.. Siillman told q.
that he could not make any promise, anc
all that he could say was that We woulS
have new survey about the Ist OF Au-
gust, and some insurance might be high
er and some lower, according TO location
but he wants rs TO understand that th'
questions which we asked him had moth
ing to do do with our trouble which ex
is,s, and the only way he could see q
present was that the city council repea
the ordinance which is IN force now, tina
would settle all the trouble. which he be

In the recess behind all these parti-
tions the snail lies torpid until May.
All this time it lives without motion,
without heat, without food, without
air, and without circulation; without
the exercise Of any of its functions. II
this snail is prevented from hiberna-
ting for several seasons, by keeping it
in a warm room, it will gradually
waste away and die. Professor Browne
mentioned the case where several snails
of this genus were shut in perforated
box without food or water. They re-
tired into their shells and closed them
with thin membrane. They remain
ed so for three years. They revived
when put into tepid water. They had
been driven into torpidity by drought.
The blood of this snail is white.
another curious thing about hlber-
mating animals is that the bile of all
other animals is the bitterest of sub
stances, while the bile of alternating
animals is sweet."-Ne,c York Sun.

Read at the meeting of the Tobacco
Growers Association held in the Court
House on January 18th. 1898.
Mr.. PesuleH uni Gcuticmel Of the
Associutioa:-lIlvinr beel assigned
the task of writing a paper on the
planting and cultivation of tobacco, |
will endeavor to give you my views on
that, to us farmers of Southern Mary
land, most important subject. Most
important to us. because to us, in the
recent years of agricultural and gener-
al depression, while wheat brought 80
cents bushel and corn Sl.50 per bbl. =,
tobacco was the only crop that kept us
from blnkruptcy, and enabled us to
weather the evil days. 1t is also very
important to us from the fact that ideal
conditions of climate, soil and location
surround Us. Our lands are mostly
soft, rich alluvial soil we'll mixad with
mari And there are aim ost every
where, within easy reach, ,ineNhaustible
deposits Of mari, which | know by eX-
perience. to be m DSt excellent tobacco
fertilizer which if used in connection
with barn-yard manure with a clover
rotation, very little, if any commercial
fertilizer will be required on our rich
lands in the production of this staple
crop. We have another advantage in
having an abundance Of good farm la
Dor, which can be secured upon rea-
sonable terms. And, further. from its
fine burning qualities, our tobacco is
in good demand in European markets,
and wheli properly grown and handled
it commands renumerativc price. 1t
l., in fact, our principal staple crop,
and there is, by all o Ids. m ", III )npy
in it than in any other crop that we can
raise. Assuming that these statements
be correct. and, from my stand point of
view. they are, then this subject to us
is one of the utmost imp Drtanca, and
our c.l"rts should he directed to raise
not only larre crops on this staple, but
to raise :he very best tub ,cco, Df its
kind, that goes into the market; and,
in consequence. get the largest prices
for the same.
While feel honored by being as
signed to this work, very much re-
gret that some one of more experience
than myself. in the cuiture of tobacco,
had not been assigned to this task in
my stead. In fact, | have had bat a
few years experience in this business.
In that time | have learned by tests
and observation many thin IS. and am
fully satisfied that | hav. very much
more to learn. from the fact that in
any large company of experienced and
even successful tobacco growers, in an
exchange Of views upon the cultur,'
and handling OF tobacco, the most di-
verse opinions upon the same subject
will be found. Hence, the inference is
plain that the business has not yet
been reduced to science Possibly
very much Of this diversity of opinion
arises from diversity f soil and SEA
sons. But doubtless there are some
particular rincipIes that must be fol-
lowed in the successful culture and
handling Of tobacco. Among these es-
santials | observe that we must have
plenty Of large earl Y plants. For the
BIDS. if only two be made, one Of them
should be on soft land with warm south
,rn exposure and the other on sitter
land of somewhat northern exposure

member Sucl a lot of things
That happened long ago,
When me an Jim was six years old
An now we're ten or so.
But those that | remember best
The ones most can see
Are the things that used to happen
When mother looked at me.
Ore time in church, when ME an Jim
Was Snickerin' out loud
The minister was prayin, an
The peoples head was bowed
We had the gges, kind of joke
About bumblebee.
But things got quiet rather quick
When mother looked at me
And then there's sometimes who n l tn nix
I'd had such lots Of fun
A gin in swimmin with the boys
Down there by zones run.
But when got back home again
Just bout in time for tea
There's kind OF different feeling com
When mother locks at m.
That tine when 1 was aw full sick
An the doctor shook his head,
An tv'ry time Ia came around
His eyes were wet an red.
/ member her hands on my f.ce
How soft they used to be
Somehow the pain seemed easier
When mother looked at me.
LIS funny how it makes you feel

As queer as queer can be,
Makes everything seem different

EXPOSURE 10 DISEASE

Does not necessarily mean the contrac-
tion of disease provided the system is
in vigorous condition, with the blood
pure and all the organs in healthy ac-
ton. When in such condition con-
tagion is readily resisted and the dis
ease germs can find no lodgment.
Hoods Sarsapalilla is the best medi-
cine to build up the system because it
makes pure, rich blood, and pure blood
is the basis of good health. In cold
weather it is especially necessary to
keep up the health tone because the
body is subject to greater exposure
and more liable to disease. Hoods
Sarsaparilla is the safeguard Of health.
The following is told of colored re-
ligious meeting in Virginia They
had what is known as holy dance, all
joining hands and marching around.
Soon a sister fell in a trance and the
brethren laid her out under the shade
trees where in due time she returned
to consciousness. The congregation
gathered around to hear her expert
ence, aud were deeply interested in her
report of the things she saw on her
journey to heaven, where she alleged
she had been. She told of many and
glorious things, but to cap the climax
she said she saw right in the midst Of
the heavenly throng great big red
meat watermelon cut in halves, and
everybody could walk up and take out
as much of the heart as they chose and
it never grew less. Here one of the
brethren could stand it no longer and
cried out: "Bless de Lord, sister, why
didn't you fetch home some of the
seed!'
