While Watching one of the plow-hands
cultivating the plats, we saw that he
had a sack along, into which all the
droppings of the horse were put as
fast as dropped, and carried to the
barn at noon and at night. Looking
at this from the farmers standpoint,
as matter of course it looked as if
they were unnecessarily particular;
yet these. and many more such in
stances, we have neither time nor
space to mention. are essential to
strict accuracy They certainly serve
to show that whenever the horticul-
tural society of North Carolina sends
out its report of work performed, or
results obtained, at the experiment
farm at Southern Pines, such report
may be depended upon as being strict

Newspapers without News.

Spain is country of 100000 pop
ulation but there are fewer newspa-
pers published in it-daily, weekly,
monthly and bi-monthly-than are
published in the single American state
of Illinois, which, by the last federal
census, had population of $4,000
says the New York Sun. And many,
if not most of the newspapers publish
ed in Spain, are newspapers in name
only for their most distinguished char
acteristic is that they do not contain
any news, being devoted to what are
called matters in general" or such
matters in particular as permit OF the
publication OF the paper any day OF the
week or any hour Of the day-it doesn't
make much difference which.
Barcelona is now the most populous
Of the Spanish cities, exceeding, by the
recent census, the population Of Ma
drid by several thousands. But the
two Barcelona papers which have the
largest circulation are Ell Loro (the Pa
triot), a Catalan journal devoted to
Jokes. and Ell MOdo Espanol (the Span
ish Fashions). AS the Spanish fash
ions have been precisely the same for
several centuries, without any devia-
ton. the urgent necessity of publish
ing a newspaper devoted to them is not
entirely clear.

Aiding American Exhibitors.

From New York Herald: Through

representative sent over by the Pari-
sian newspapers to America in the in
terest OF the great 1900 exhibition, ar
rangements have been made for all
American exhibitors 10 have their dis
plays at the exposition taken care OF
free Of all charge by the permanent
American exhibition Of Paris, which
will be opened in January. 1899. This
step was taken in the interest of those
Americans who will not be present in
Paris in 1900 or who are not members
of the permanent exhibition, and will
no doubt be the means OF having the
United States more deliberately and
better represented than would other
wise have been the case.

MUST SMOKE PIPES NOW.
Famine In Havana Tobacco Has at Last
Become Reality.

The much-talked-of and long-expect-
ed tobacco famine is here Before the
war with Spain began the air was fill
ed with prophecies Of such a famine.
The Cuban rebellion was on. but still
there was genuine Cuban tobacco to
be had. AS the rebellion dragged along
stories were heard about the price Of
tobacco going up and the quality going
down. But Havana tobacco was still
to be had for a price. A New York
correspondent of the Washington Star
says the importers knew all about this
some time ago, but it fell upon the
smokers unawares. 1t has even reach
ed the clubs which were supposed to
be plentifully supplied with the fra
grant weed. 1t has developed that the
stock of Havana cigars is almost eX-
hausted and that the importers are
holding on to the remainder with a
death grip. The supply is to be APP
portioned so that it may last as long
as possible, and for that reason tho
sales of box lots are almost entirely
prohibited. One of the largest clubs in
the city, club that year ago bought
over 100000 Havana cigars from a sim
gle importing house in the city, is al
most in sight Of its last cigar 1t had
laid in such a heavy stock over the
winter that it was willing to sell to
members in any quantity for almost
any price, and now it will not sell
box at any price. The most that a
smoker can get is a handful.

STAMPS BY MILLIONS.
Enormous Number Distributed by the
Revenue Department.

heFenue department.
Washington, July BY tonight the
internal revenue department at Wash
ington had distributed throughout the
country 175,OO0,0 900 war revenue stamps.
The distribution has been going on for
the last week at the rate of from 2O,000,-
900 TO 35,0O0,000 per day. The bureau
of engraving and printing will continue
to produce about 25,000,000 stamps per
day for some time to come, and this
great output will be placed where 1t can
made by collectors for about 500, 000, 600
stamps to cover the first three months
business under the new law. This ag
gregate amount represented the col
lectors' estimates of what would be
needed during the first quarter. Tho
department has therefore been able to
furnish about one months supply. Ac-
tual experience may show that these
estimates are entirely inadequate to
meet the situation. Indeed, a suspicion
that such is the case prevails among
officials of the treasury department.
There is absolutely no data upon which
to predicate estimates of what may be
required. When the old war revenue
law was in force it applied to only
about half the country. Since the re-
peal of that old law the business Of the
country has increased from eight to ten
fold and commercial conditions have
changed wonderfully. Consequently
the internal revenue officials feel that
they are entering upon an untried ex-
perimental field.

during the past two years in Porto
