GRANTS CIGARS.
How the General Came to Be . Great
49, .y.Ir w., Smoker. y -4,

How the General Came to BE . Great
H"My father" said General Frederick
D. Grant, tried to smoke while at West
Point, but only because it was against
the regulations; and then he didn't sue
coed very well at it. He really got the
habit from smoking light cigars and Gig
arettes during the Mexican war, but it
wasn't fixed habit. When he left the
army and lived in the country, he smok-
ed pipe-not necessarily. I don't think
that he was very fond of tobacco then,
and really there was always q popular
misconceptions of the amount of his smok-
ing. r.. 49, y ~
% "But he went on as light smoker, a
casual smoker, until the day Of the fall of
Fort Donelson. Then, the gunboats hav-
ing been worsted somewhat and Admiral
Foote having been wounded, fhe sent
ashore for my father to come and see
him. Father went aboard, and the admi.
raj, as is customary, had his cigars pass
ed. Ny father took one and was smok-
ing it when he went ashore. There he
was met by staff officer, who told him
that there was a sortie and the right
wing had been struck and smashed in.
Then my father started for the scene of
operations. He let his cigar 60 out nat
urally, but held it between his fingers.
Gle rode. hither, and yon, giving orders
and directions, still with the cigar stump
In his hand. The result Of his exertions
was that Donclson fell after he sent his
message Of unconditional surrender
and 4 propose to move Immediately upon
your works With the message was sent
all over the country that sGrant was
smoking throughout the battle, when he
only carried this stump from Foote'S flag
ship. But the cigars began to come in
from all over the Union. He had 1000
cigars on hand in very short time. He
gave away all he: could, but he was so
surrounded with cigars that be got to
smoking them regularly, Butshe never
smoked as much as he seemed 10 smoke.
He would light cigar after breakfast
and let 1t 60 out, and then light It again,
and then let il, 60 out and light it;>so that
the one cigar would last until lunch.

afterwards there was another appro-

after that Congress appropriated
$1,000. BY 1857 the annual expendi-
ture had reached $4,000, but it fell
again and then rose, but It did not
exceed 100000 until 1885, and the
occasion of the increase for that year
was the establishment of the Bureau
of Animal Industry. In 1888 the APP
preparation exceeded $1,000 600, but
in that year the Weather Bureau was
transferred from the Signal Corps to

To-day the seat of the sheep-rearine
Industry Of the. country has shifted
from the Middle West to the plateau
region between the Rockies and the
Sierras. Ohio is still doing very well
in the business, with nearly 5000 600
head, but she has dropped from FIRST
to fourth in the list of mutton pro
ducing States. New Mexico is at the
head, with more than 100000; Mon.
tana has nearly as many, while Wyo
ming leads Ohio 10y a few hundred
thousand head. Idaho closely follows
Ohio in the rating. Oregon, California
and Texas each have about 2.5OOOOC
sheep. The Navajo Indians of Arizona
are material factor in the wool mar
ket The tribe is wealthy through its
fiocks. The trlbesmen are believed to
own little short of 100000 head, the
care Of the focks and the weaving Of
wool being almost the sole occupation
Of the $4,000 Indians. Singular TO re-
late, only small part Of the Navajo
wool crop Is worked up at home into
the wonderful blankets that have made
the tribal name famous. Only the
coarser and cheaper blankets are now

to overestimate the good that the ex-

statement that put me on my in
CURRY. These experiment stations, by
the-way, receive money from the
States-a little more than half as
much as they receive from the gen
eral Government As is to be expect
ed, the farmers at first entertained a
very cOntemptuous idea of the scien-
lists in charge of the stations, but
they are now coming to depend upon
them, and to go to them for advice.
Their confidence was first gained by
the protection which ehey obtained
from the stations against frauds and
impositiOn5 in commercial fertilizers,
and now the stations look after the
farmers interests IN respect of nur-
sery stock, dairy products and feed
ing-stufls, and aid them materially in
fighting injurious insects. In addi-
ton to these police duties the men at
tie stations are e. gagged i'm making
