The beautiful pearl known as the
Great Southern Cross was found In
Western Australia in the year 1884. 1t
consists of nine pearls Joined together
In the form of cross, in which shape
1t was found by a man named Clarke.
1t Is said that the finder and the first
purchaser of 1t buried 1t for some time,
superstitiously regarding 1t as heav-
enly miracle. 1t was, however, ulti-
mately taken up from Its burial place
and sold for $1,000, since which time II
has frequently changed hands and is
now valued at $4,000. At the Colonial
and Indian exhibition in England IL at
tracted a good deal Of notice and is
probably the only natural cross ever
found.

The passerby who happened to look
through the open door of an up town
fire engine house the other day might
have wondered why one horse Of the
engine team was kept standing at the
pole of the engine, hitched up, the
horse belonging to the other being in
his stall The reason was extremely
simple. Some men on electrical wires
were occupied in front of the horse s
stall where in case of an alarm they
would have offered more or less i'm
pcdiment to his free movement from
the stall to the engine. OF course the
firemen took no chances on anything
of this sort. so while the work was
going on they hitChed the horse up in
his place on the engine. This was not
so comfortable for him as standing per
fectly free and clear of harness in his
roomy stall would have been. but the
horse apparently appreciated the stu
alton fully. While he was the reverse
Of elated over It, yet as the men work
ed on he stood at the pole and held his
place there with stcadiness and pa
tience.-Ncw York Sun.

A Joke nm nnenhach.

Offenbach. the famous opera bouffe
composer, had an Unsuitable thirst for
success and fame combined with q
vanity that occasionally played him q
sorry trick.
Once he was going down the Rhine
on a steamer, among whose passengers
was the Duke of Nassau, a fact of
which the composer was in blissful lg-
norance.
AS the steamer approached its last
stopping place the bank of the river
was seen to be covered by a dense
throng of people who were shouting
and waving their hats. A band on the
pier was playing a march from one Of
Offenbach's operas.
AS the boat touched the pier Often
bach stepped to the rail and bowed and
waved his hat to the people in ac-
acknowledgement of this flattering ova-
tion.
"It is glorious to be received In q
foreign land like thisp' he remarked to
his companions.
But his self complacency received a
rude shock the next instant when the
dukes adjutant appeared and said, In
a rough and unfeeling manner:
"Get out Of the way. will you. and
let his highness show himselfP'

Beauty and Education.

Why is it that woman has always
been more beautiful than man? In
human beings the attractive qualities
have always been on the side OF the
female. Why is it? Without wishing
to cast any aspersion on the members
of the superior sex, we may fairly an
swer that it is because they have hith-
erto been the less educated. But wom-
ans ideas are changing. She has lis.
tened to the voice of the tempter, whis-
pering In her ear all sorts Of SWEET haf
iari-s apout equality Of the sexes. In
tellectual development and Its neces-
sity, and the like, and she has yielded
to the temptation. And the result OF
this will be that she will lose her
beauty. She will suffer in appearance
as man has done and is doing, and In
the course Of time the extremely civ
illzed races of mankind will be ugly
irretrievably and lamentably ugly

Harvesting and Curing the Crop In
the North.

Harvesting ana curing the CrOp IN
the North.
The crop is planted In rows, usually
S12 to feet apart and is to 24
inchesApart in the row. 1t Is topped
to 10 or Is leaves and is frequently
suckered during the season. 1t is on
the ground about 90 days. the season
averaging from about the middle OF
May to the last of August. All the
leaves on the plant do not ripen at the
same time. Under the conditions pre-
vailing 1t is therefore usually consider
ed necessary to determine the average
time Of ripening and cut the plant
when the middle leaves are ripe. The
ground leaves will Of course be over
ripe, while the top leaves will have
hardly matured. The stalk Is cut
and laid on the ground for one and
one-half to two hours to wilt. 1t Is
turned If necessary to prevent burning.
1t Is important that rain should not
fall upon the plant while lying on the
| ground. After 1t Is wilted sufficiently
the stalk is speared on a lath, about
eight plants to the lath. 1t Is then
hung in q barn to dry. The tobacco
barn is quite tight, but well provided
with ventilators, which are opened on
favorable days, as the barn must be
well ventilated until the tobacco is
thoroughly wilted. Artificial heat is
not used The time and rapidity Of
curing depend entirely upon the wealth
err 1t rarely exceeds two months, how
ever.
When thoroughly dried, the laths Of
tobacco are taken down during a
warm, damp spell and piled in heaps
with sacks or cloths spread over them
to keep the pile In "order" for several
DAYS. "Order" or cease" In tobacco
curing means a moist condition in
which the tissue will not break. Ere
quently when the piles begin to dry
the butts are sprinkled with water.
The stalks are taken from the laths
and the leaves stripped off. The leaves
are put by handfuls into a box lined
with strong, tough paper. The paper
is wrapped tightly over it and the bun
die securely tied. A large proportion
of the tobacco Is sold to the dealers In
this shape. Some producers sort 1T,
however, and get cents pound more
for 1t, although the packers usually
resort it before the fermentation.
When properly sorted, the tobacco Is
graded into filters, binders and long
and short, bright and dark wrappers.
These are made up into "hands"-i. e.,
bundles of leaves tied together at the
base. The tobacco is frequently
''blown"-that is, lightly sprinkled with
water to bring 1t into proper order be-
fore casing or packing down, but this
is never practiced by the best farmers
The fermentation or sweating is usu-
ally managed by the packers and mot
by tile Iarmers.-Milton Whitney.

CannibnIs md PORK.

In the New Hebrides human life has
been made safe by the Introduction OF
pigs into the island. The cannibais are
said to prefer roast pork to roast man,
and as the porcine tribe increases
among the natives they may give up
their feasts ON human flesh altogether
excepting when something unusual
happens, such as entertaining king of
some other cannibal island or on state
occasions of rare ceremony.
