CECIL RHoDES's IDEA.
His Reason for Declining Drink in the

His Reason for Declining Drink in the
Early Days of tho Kimberley Mines.
In connection with the foundation Of Cecil
Rhodes's colossal wealth. there is a story told by
an old fellow miner. himself lately Colonial
Minister of Finance, which illustrates at least one
trait in the character OF the great South African
hnancier and politician.
During the early days Of the Kimberley diggngs
II was the custom when a miner found partcu
ceremony OF "wetting the stone" l. s-drinking
champagne at the finders expense with the idea
that it would bring good luck in the discovery OF
another treasure In the adioning claim to that
first taken up by Mr. Rhodes, in the very centre
OF the crater holding the precious blue dirt this
invitation had upon certain occasion gone
forth, and the men were going their way up TO
the hotel when 1t was noticed that Rhodes stood
alooi.
"Hullo! Come on Rhodes" shouted the lucky
finder of the gem. Aren't you coming up 10
wet the stone for good luck?' To which, how
ever. Cecil Rhodes only shook his head,
Il say. come on there's good fellow" persisted
his neighbor.
What are you going to do?" asked Rhodes,
looking up
wet the stone with champagne Of course"
Il did not come out fere 10 drink champagne, but
to make money" and then went on with his work.
That Mr.. Rhodes has succeeded in that purpose,
probably beyond all flights Of his imagination, is
now a matter OF history.

A PETITION FROM cUBANs.
An Effort to Have the Export Tax ol
Tobacco Abolished.


Tobacco Abolished.
The Secretary Of War has received a re-
quest from number of prominent Cubans,
representing the tobacco interests of the
island, asking that the export tax on to-
bacco, which was imposed under Spanish
rule and has since remained in force, be
abolished, as it is prejudicial to the exten-
sion of tobacco growing there. This tax
was for war revenue, and the proceeds were
applied by the Spaniards to carrying on
the war against the Cubans. Now that
Cuba is free from Spanish rule and there
is no longer any necessity for such excess
siye taxation, the measure is very in
furious TO the industry, and 1t is thought
that its repeal will do much to encourage
further cultivation OF tobacco.
The movement however, Will meet with
strenuous opposition from the tobacco
growers of this country. They claim that
