Now even a mans pipe proclaims
Remember the Maine" Smoking the
Maine pipe is a new way of showing
ones patriotism.
There are two sortsNof Maine pipes
The one most in favor has the stem
made of black solid rubber moulded
into an exact reproduction OF the late

is briarwood. and the short mouth
piece amber. This pipe can also be
bought with the Maine carved out of
meerschaum and decorated with gold
The other Maine pipe has the battle
ship cut out OF thin layer of silver
and then applied TO the stem or the pipe
This pipe also has a strip of silver fas-
tened to the stem. on which the words
"Remember the Maine" are engraved
When using either one of these pipes
II is the proper thing To have the to-
bacco ia a small rubber lined pouch
made OF piece OF silk American flag
Such IN the evidence OF patriotism IN
the smokers outht.

SHIFTING TOBACCO AREA.
Great Difference Made In Forty
Years In the State Crops.

Within forty years there has been
much shifting I'm the tobacco -produc-
ing area of the country according to the
Philadelphia Inquirer. Prior to 1859
Virginia was the tobacco-producing
State. the annual yield being 122, 900. 900
pounds. The present yield OF Virginia
is approximately. only $4,000, 600 pounds
per annum. Succeeding the Civil War
Kentucky took first place in tobacco
and holds it, with an annual yield of
upward OF 225,000,000 pounds. New
Mexico produces the smallest crop
only 1900 pounds.
Indiana produces just about as much
now as IL did in 1859. but Wisconsin has
increased it's output from $4,000 to 20,
000,0 900 pounds, and bids fair to rank
among the high-producing States.
Illinois has REDUCED it's crop about one
half, and Michigan has dropped from
$4,000 pounds in 1859 to 10000 in 1897.
1t was long believed that tobacco
could not be produced on prairie soils,
but Kansas, which produced only 20,
900 pounds in 1859, now produces, ap-
proximately. 10000 pounds or more than
three times the original production.
In North Carolina and Florida there
Is steady increase in the tobacco area.

WENT THROUGH THE WAR.
Lucy Nichols a Former Slave Had
A Unique Experience.

Lucy Nichols, an old colored woman
of New Albany, Ind, Is unique figure
OF the late civil war, says the Cincin-
natl Enquirer. On September Is, 1862,
while the 2Sd Indiana Regiment was in
camp at Bolivar, Tenn, she came run
ming into camp, leading her little 12-
year-old daughter. Mornin, and i'm
plored the protection of the soldiers.
She had run away from her master,
who was about to separate her and her
child, and begged to be allowed to re-
main In camp. Her heartbroken plead
ings were so great that she was in
stalled i'm the officers mess as cook l&nd
in the engagements at Raymond, Miss. !;
Champion Hill. Miss; Port Gibson, and
at the siege of Vicksburg, she proved
such a friend 10 the sick and wounded
of the regiment that she is still en-
deared to the hearts of the now gray
haired veterans OF the gallant 23d In
diana Volunteers.
She accompanied them on Sherman's
memorable march from Atlanta TO the
sea, thence from Savannah to Wash
ington and thence home. where the
regiment was mustered out OF service
in 1866. Lucy has lived i'm New Albany
ever since, and there is not a colored
woman i'm the city more highly es-
teemed than she. She Ia an honorary
member OF Sanderson Post, @. A. r..
and member of the regimental asso-
citation of the a3d Indiana. At soldiers
reunions she is a conspicuous figure,
and there is not n veteran OF the war
who is prouder OF his record than she.

special act of Congress to allow her a

THE BEST FOOD FOR CHILDREN.
They Should Be Given That Which
Will Build Muscle, Brain and Nerve.

'If mothers only knew how to pre-
pare their children for the hardships of
life these conditions might be easily
avoided" writes Mrs. s. Il. Rorer, Of
THE Best Diet for Bloodless Girls" in
the August Ladies' Home Journal. AT
very early age they should be taught
to eat food to build muscle. brain and
nerve, and to give force and heat-not
simply to satisfy appetite. scientific
rather than haphazard operation. 1t
Is not necessary, however, to hold long
conversations with the child as to what
rule, the first dish of oatmeal the
mother gives to her first child is simply
covered with sugar. In a little while
the health gives out, and the child has
indigestion.
"Then, too, the child thus trained
from infancy feels that fat is objection
able, and at the age of fifteen or six
teen, when an anaemic condition comes
over her. fat, the one necessary article
to her salvation. is the most difficult
to take, and IL Is frequently necessary
to resort to oil baths or Oil inunctions.
YoH will, no doubt. call to mind that
COD liver oil is the first thing added to
the ordinary dietary. Butter and cream
may be used In as large quantities as
the patient can conveniently digest.
"All fried foods must be strictly
avoided. Potatoes may be eaten twice
week, and should always be baked.
Boiled rice may be taken once a day;
but all bulk foods, such as turnips, cab
bage, carrots and parsnips, should be
avoided. i fully believe that special
feeding in any disease will bring about
a cure unattainable by medicine alone.
BY special feeding for different diseases
/ mean living on precisely such food as
the patient in that condition can thor
oughly digest and assimilate; or upon
the best foods to repair the diseased
tissues, rejecting all Others"

Major Richard Sylvester, chief of police,
has been sent a letter of thanks by the
Board of District Commissioners. compli-
menting him upon the marked improve
ment in the condition of the streets of the
city since his term of office began.
The letter is signed by Acting President
John w. Ross, of the Board of Commits
sioners, and is as follows:
THE superintendent of the street and
alley cleaning department has reported to
the Commissioners the marked improve
ment in the condition of the streets of the
city of late, which he states is justly at
tributable to the vigilance of your officers
in preventing the littering of the streets
with paper.
This is a matter of great interest 30
our citizens The frequent littering of our
streets has been done by thoughtless per-
sons, who were probably not aware of the
TACT that it is prohibited by the police
regulations and the subject Of a fine in
the police court.
The Commissioners beg to express to
you their qualification and their hope that
this good work will not be permitted to
be discontinued. 80

STOCK MARKET IRREGULAR.
The Movements Can he Explained
only on Technical Grounds


New YORK, Aug. 29.-The stock marker
movements in circumstances such as
those now prevailing are susceptible of
explanation upon only technical lines
There was actually nothing in the deveI-
opments In the outside situation to which
yesterdays reactionary tone and this
mornings decline in prices could be re-
fefred and they plainly reflected nothing
more than temporary preponderance of
selling over buying orders in the market.
An adjustment in this respect was reach
ed about noon today, when there were a
number OF sharp recoYeries in the leading
stocks, which still left the market show
ing evidence of great irregularity. In
the early dealings the realization of
profts was again upon a heavy scale.
and it was accompanied by the usual SELL
Ing in this market by foreign banking
houses, whose transactions on balance ag-
gregafed about 1900 shares. The declines
in some cases Were fairly rapid, as was
to be expected in a market where there
has unquestionably been great deal of
over trading on the long side of the ac-
count.
There was no perceptible change in the
days money market though lenders re-
port better demand by borrowers on
time.
Sun, TINS Slgnt indlcatlon was not
factor in the days stock market. The
closing prices showed many irregular and
cratic changes. Consolidated has de-
clined sharply on reports that the outside
companies were becoming more agrees
sive in extending their mains into the
territory of the former company. These
reports and the course of Consolidated
Gas were taken IN some quarters fore
shadow more substantial progress toward
the much-taiked-of general amalgamation
of the local companies. Manhattan also
showed noteworthy weakness throughout
the day Firm features were Louisville
and Nashville and the Southern Railway
shares.
