$1,000 damages for the withholding of
possession. The case involves many
nice points of law, says the Sentinel,
one of which is the ability Of obtaining
valid title to patented ground by open
and notorious adverse possession and
claim of ownership for period OF years.

discovered near the foot of Bald Knob,
two miles west of Alto Pass, ILL.,, which

explorer finds himself in cavern Of

automobile fitting in Paris is the wheel
of M. Izart. 1t really consists of two
wheels; one the wheel proper of the
vehicle and the other loose wheel
tire which is kept in place by lateral

third and that the vibration is very
much lessened by it's use. 1t is also
claimed that it will aid in driving car

Cultivation of Cigar Leaf Tobacco in
Florida.


Florida.
A report on the Florida tobacco in
dustry is now in press and will soon
be issued by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture as Report No. g.
entitled "CultivatiOn of Cigar Leaf
Tobacco in Florida" 1t was prepared
by Mr.. Marcus L. Floyd, tobacco eX-
pert Of the Division of Soils, in CO.
operation with the Division of Vegeta-
BILE Physiology and Pathology of the
Department.
Mr.. Floyd has had about twelve
years practical experience in the de-
velopment of the Florida tobacco in
dustry and the results of that eXper-
fence are embodied in the report.
The report describes the methods
used in Florida in cultivating, curing,
fermenting, grading, sorting, and bal
ing Florida grown Cuban and Sumatra
tobacco.
1t begins with a chapter Oh the re-
quirements of the cigar leaf trade,
states what kinds of tobacco are de-
manded by the trade, both for filters
and wrappers and what must be fur
nished, and shows that Florida is
gradually approaching the condition
necessary to supply the tobaccos re-
quired.
The cultivation of Cuban and SUI
matra tobacco in Florida is fully de-
scribed, beginning with the kind of soil
necessary, it's preparation, burning of
the ground for seed beds and how it
should be fortified. Then follows the
division of the land into beds, the SOW
ing of seed and selection of early seed
beds which should be situated on
lands sloping from north to south,
protected on the north by forests and
open on the south to let in the mid
day sun. The report says it is safer
to protect these early beds by covering
them with cheese cloth stretched on
frames made around and over the
beds.
A description of the methods employ
ed in keeping down insects, drawing
plants for transplanting, field cultiva,
ton, harvesting, and curing the leaf is
then given. This ends the work of the
farmer
An account of the manner in which
the tobacco is handled after it reaches
the packing house follows. When il
arrives there it is put up in neat an6
easily handled paper bundles. 1t is
first divided into grades, sorted anG
tied in hands of about fifty leaves
each, after which it is bulked and fer
mented. After fermentation it is pu
in cases where it remains three OF

From the Journal, CdrterUtUe, Mo.
The first critical period in woman's life
comes at the passing of her girlhood.
In nine cases Oh, of ten where disease faS-
tens itself upon her it does so at the line of
demarcation between girlhood and woman
hood. How to preserve the daughter health
how to ward off disease at this crisis is the
problem that cOnfronts every mother OF girls.
A day of neglect, q little parleying with cir
cumstances, may serve to wreck the daugh-
ter's future. Mrs. J. M. Riggs, of Carterville.

Mrs. Susie Riggs, us follows:
"My daughter Josie during the winter of
1898 suffered q complete break down in
health. She was attending school, was very
anxious to graduate with honors, and think
overstudy and exposure were largely respon-

condition became very serious and alarming.

Wyoming claims the distinction of
being the greatest of prehistoric grave
yards. More remains of gigantic mann.
mails are found there than anywhere
else on earth. Among twenty varieties
eXhumed there is one that represents
an animal, which, in his prime, was SO
feet long and 20 feet high. 1t is re-
markable that Wyoming should have
such an apparent excess of these ante
diluvian relics but the cause probably
is that the region was favOrite feed
ing ground of the mammal and his
mighty comrades, and so had an
climatic or other change came about

Anent diploma held back by II

Anent a diploma held back by The
Board of Regents, Adam Bede says:
- The University of Minnesota last year
refused a diploma to Rudolph Lee, of
Long Prairie, this state, son of ex-speak-
er VIM. E. Lee, who had completed the
course, and the only reason we have
heard assigned is that as manager of the
University ball team he sanctioned a
Sunday game somewhere away from
home. We believe in Sabbath observ-
ance, and have sometimes wondered If it
is not mistake to have SO many work
days between Sundays, but the command
to work six days is just as binding as
that to rest on the seventh. And vet
lots of dudes loaf half the week and
thus break the divine command, but are
held IN good standing at the school.
And then, too, ball playing is not the
only Dissertation. Consider how mapy
preachers desecrate the Sabbath with
their sermons and are still loved and
held in high esteem even by those who
do not approve of their soporifc efforts.
We have in our earlier, whiting DAYS
gone-to church of a Sunday morning and

man enumerated the subdivisions of his

ing on our part or on that of the parson
and mine. And SO we think the venera-
BILE and austere regents should consider
the many sides of the case, the youth OF
the would-be graduate, the national en-
thusiasm for the game, the fact that he
merely worked one more day in the week
than the law allows, and whether or not
his team played good game, for we
have just given Dewey a home, made
him an admiral, built HIM a triumphal
arch and blown in a few millions on red
lights because he postponed mass one
Sunday morning in Manila harbor. Hav-
ing run the race and finished the course

1t is sad commentary on the great
Anglo-Saxcn race that the two great
Anglo Saxon natic ns-America and
Eng land-are at this moment engaged
IN the old heather wars of conquest and
subjugation, England with the Beers
and America with the Philippines. Do
you say is not conquest and subjuga-
ton? What is it then? Oh, yes! Eng
land does not say that the Beers are not
capable of self-goyernment. She says
they are in the way. They have gov
erned themselves so we'll that England
cannot set up such an excuse. The long
and short Of it all IS that there is gold
in the Transvaal and England is selfish
and greedy. But what is there in the
Philippines? What do the Americans
want there2 Oh! It is war for humani-
ty. The Americans are only intent on
improving the condition of the Philip
pinos. They want to carry gentle peace
among them, the bible and christianity.
