4 BEAR VISITS A SAWM|LL.
HOW HE EXAMINED THE MACHI-
merry AND FRIGHTENED
THE SAWYER.

On one Of my last visits to East Tennes-
see. 1 ran across Jerry Simmond's saw
mill, at the foot of White Deer Mountain,
and being somewhat tired after many
DAYS in the saddle and having lot or
hastily gathered specimens TO care for and
label I put up there for few days,
where was entertained by old Jerry, HIM
self, with characteristic Southern noun
taineer hospitality.
Sitting br the big chimney fire. comfort
BILE even on a Tune night in those high lati-
tudes, we were exchanging the news from
the valleys with the gossip of the mountain
region for miles around, w.len in walken a
young man, whose appearances stamped him
as a comparative stranger n those parts.
NY host introduced him as Mr.. Oliver
Wright. his sawyer, and son learned
that he was from Cincinnati, ard was an
expert in the science Of cutting up logs in
to lumber My inquiries as to the young
mans liking for the semi-wild life arn2ng
the mountains brought out a story from
old Jerry at the sawyer's expense. which,
however, he seemed to enjoy as much as
did.
Long Tom Wells is a famous bear-hun-
ter in these parts, and his cabin is up the
creek not far from the mills. They say of
Long Tom that, whenever he goes into the
mountains with his dogs, there is sure to
be a chase Sometimes bruin will outwit
the dogs for a while and visit the settle
ments, often soaring somebody pretty bad
~ and always making great commo-
ton.
One morning, only a few days after OIL
yer had been engaged as sawyer. he was
alone in the mill, busy in overhauling the
machinery, the other men having gone to
the woods TO cut and haul logs. Oliver had
removed the big circular saw from the
mandril and, after oiling and cleaning the
gearing and relacing the belts, had begun
the readjustment of the log carriage.
In order to test 1t thoroughly, he had
turned the water about half on, and the

is nothing Egyptian about Egyptian
cigarettes except that they are made
in Egypt. The tobacco comes from
Turkey, the paper from Austria, Ger
many or Italy. and most OF the laber
employed is Greek, except for the COM
mon brands, which are consumed in
Egypt and are made by the natives.
The greater part of the trade is CEN
tered in Carlo. where at least 5000
persons are dependent for their daily
bread upon this industry. OF course
the government derives considerable
revenue from the tax it imposes upon
tobacco imports.
All American travellers in North
Europe know that they have to pay a
good round price for inferior tobacco
products. The best use to make of
European grown tobacco is to keep
it for the pipe, but many dealers per-
sist in turning it into inferior grades
OF cigars. The so-called Havana CT
gars," mostly manufactured in Ant
werp and sold widely throughout Bel
GUM, are chiefly made of leaf grown
in West Flanders and are inferior to
most of our domestic cigars sold at
half the price. In Germany there are
many factories turning German grown
tobacco into cigars, cigarettes, snuff
and smoking and chewing tobacco.
Some Americans say it requires spe-
cial education to learn to like the Ger
man products.
No one has yet discovered what the
properties of climate or soil are that
give peculiar excellence to the tobac-
co leaf grown in certain regions. To-
hacco grows we'll in all parts of Cuba,
and the soil of the tobacco plantations
is mostly composed of calcarous rocks,
but why is it that the leaf grown along
the southern slope Of the Cordillera de
las Organos, in Hinar del Rio, at the

bacco-growing region. and many i'm
agine that it is the chief center OF TO-
bacco production. The Cuban pro-
duct, however, in the best OF times, is
very small in comparison with that OF
several other countries. The United
States is one of the greatest tobacco
growing countries in the world. Over
22O,O 900 tons of dried leaves are pre-
pared every year in this country, 1867
900 tons in India, about 100000 tons IN
Russia and 10000 tons in Austria
Hungary. Mr. Gollan, the British
Consul General at Havana, says that
the normal tobacco crop of Cuba aver
ages only about $1,000 tons a year.
Even France, in the valley of the Gar
onne and in Algeria. far surpasses
Cuga in amount of tobacco production,
and so do Sumatra, the Eastern Ar
chipelago and the Philippines. In
1894, before the internal troubles large
ly reduced the exports of the Philip
pines, these islands sent abroad 49,
GIT tons of tobacco and 140,0S0,000 CT
CARS.
All countries make tobacco an i'm
portant source of revenue, and in some
lands, most conspicuausly in France,
Italy, Austria-Hungary and Spain, the
tobacco trade is a government mon
opoly, and no one is permitted to en-
sage in it unless he pays well for the
privilege. In Spain, for instance, one
company pays to the government a
very large sum for the monopoly of
manufacturing and selling tobacco in
that country. Every cigar store in the
country is owned by this company. 1t
has eleven manufactures in different
parts of Spain, in which it employs
nearly 10000 girls. 1t maintains near
ly 10000 cigar stores, and it is estimat-
ed that $4,000 families are supported
by the money distributed on its pay
rolls. The sales of the company
amount to about s35,000,00O a year.
Barcelona spends 100000 a year for
tobacco, and Madrid comes next with
about s2,500,00O a yeor. Though Cuba
was Spanish colony. Havana cigars
have always been as expensive in
Spain as in the United States, but all
other kinds are somewhat cheaper
than in this country.

gal magnificence yet reared by human
hands. OF this cabin the fire was at the
centre at Onondaga, and there were two
doors, one at the east and one at the west.
The western door was at this beautiful
lake with the long, strange name.
The years went by, bringing other visi-
tors to the lake that the red men loved.
One summer day warlike host marched
out from the forest upon the shores. There
were white men marshaled there, with pike
and cuirass, and arquebuse and steel head
piece, beneath banner red and azure en-
broidered with feur de lis-the flag of roy

HOW A LAKE WAS NAMED.
A story of War and Romance and
Forest Tragedy.

AEA6Cuss
1t lay cleaning in the sunshine a long
narrow sheet of water, p:cturesquely shut
in by high hills and bordered by dark
green forests, for ages and ages without a
name. The great black bear sometimes
came down to its shores to drink. as did
also its deadly foe, the cougar. Over its
surface poised the fish-hawk, searching for
its prey, and the screech of the owl awoke
the echoes at night along its shores. These
were its only visitors in that old time.
After the passage of centuries. an Indian
hunter in pursuit of a deer, one day. saw
its waters cleaning through the trees. All
day long the wild creature had fed before
him, racing down through the forest
ranges on the western shore of the beau
tiful lake. 1t was where the lake narrows
to the small channel through which its
waters are conveyed to the larger body of
water that spreads like an inland sea TO
the north Naturally enough the place be-
came familiar resort of the Indian braves,
and the name they gave it, Andiatarocte,
the place where the water closes" speaks
for the picturesqueness of their language.
The lake was lonely no longer. It's shores
were frequented by the dusky warriors.
Wigwams dotted the little islands on its
surface, and over its waters darted the
frail c.noes of the Indian lads.
These Indians called themselves Kono-
shiona, which means United People" or.
as some interpret it, THE People OF the

name of the Five Nations, or Iroquois.
