A TYPICAL MOUNTAIN HOME.

preacher of the mountains is inclined
to be suspicious of the hook larnin'"
which he has failed to acquire. Re.
ligion itself is u melancholy affair
chiefly connected with funerals and
sectarian squabbles.
The fighting %propensities of the
mountaineers are to be classed with
other s%urvivals of o!d-world temper
and ideals. 1t is we'll to remember that
the whole South is far nearer than the
other parts of the country to the age
of chivalry, when all gentlemen wore
side arms and felt that the govern
ment was simply to defend them from
foreign foes, while they were to rely
upon their w prowess to protect
their households and their honor. So
far, then, as the backwoodsmen are af-
fected by the example Of those who
have enjoyed superior advantages,
they have been continuously taught to
avenge their WI wrongs rather than
appeal to law. And quite naturally
they have shown less restraint and
good taste in such matters. 1t is to be
added that the administration of JUS
tice in the mountain counties is attend
ed with even more delays and uncer-
tainties than elsewhere. Add to this
the fact that the m%ountaineer has the
Independent spirit born Of solitude,
constant practice in the use of fire.

the mountains were plundered by both
armies, rekindled the belligerent spirit
Of their ancient blood. 1t gives us hope
for their future that the frequent
homicides are not committed wantonly
o for purposes of robbery, but in the
spirit Of an Homeric chieftain on some
point Of honor"

Archibald Forbes, Who Recently Passed

Archibald Forbes, who died recently

years was a soldier in the British army,
IN experience that was of great ad-
vantage to him when he became a war
correspondent.
At the outbreak Of the Franco-Prus-
sian war he attached himself to the
German forces and was present at the
first fight at Saarbruck. How curious
ly his experiences were afterward
woven in with the subsequent history
Of the last imperial Napoleonic fam
lily is shown by the facts that he wit

The greater part, in fact, nearly all,
OF the tobacco raised in Cuba and not
used by the Cuban cigar-makers is
shipped to the United States. AT certain
seasons of the year the Havana hotels
are filled with tobacco buyers from the
States. Some of them deal through the,
brokers in Havana, but some who know
the country and the language go ous
into IN tobacco district and deal di.
rectly with the planters, often buying
Il promising crop before it is picked.
The tobacco buyer has necessarily IT,
he a good judge of tobacco. He goes
down into the very center of the bale
of tobacco he is examining. extracts
some samples and tests them in differ.
ent ways.
The first test is that of smell. Tic
Cuban tobacco has u strong and Pc
culiar odor. A little variation one way
or the other makes the tobacco good or
bad. After smelling it the buyer is
likely to roll Il rudely constructed cigar
out of the leaf and smoke it. He will
inhaln the smoke and endeavor to de-
termine exactly the flavor. He will also
examine the ash carefully and test also
the combustion of the tobacco-that iA
try to find out how long it will hold
fire. 1t is II great annoyance to a
smoker who is talking or writing or
otherwise engaged to put his cigar into
his mouth and find that it has gone out.
No cigar ever tastes SO good after il
has met such a catastrophe. So one
quality sought for is that of holding
fire. If a sample smoked by the buyer
will keep lighted four minutes it is con
sidered very good. Some will burn for
five minutes and ever longer without
being puffed.-Ohio State Journal,

the numbers now to be found are insig-

under contemplation for the propaga-

may become reasonably common again.
II know Of only II herd of buffalo
In TeXas-that belonging to Mrs. Mary
Goodnight of the Goodnight Cattle
Company, in the panhandle. Her herd
comes down from the original stock
OF the staked plains. Several years
ago the herdsnlen of the Goodnight
pastures captured three calves, and
. after demonstrating them as much as
their natures would permit proceeded
to breed them. This was done as a
pastime, and without any special pur-
pose III view until the race began to
go out of existence. and then it was
decided to so into the inbreeding as an
industry. SO the herd has grown until
now it numbers about seventy. sixty
or more being full grown and healthy
specimens of the species.
II have often seen these animals ON
the Goodnight range, and they certain
~ bring to mind the old time on tho
plains. The Goodnight people have the
means to go into the cultivation of tho
buffalo OH a liberal scale, and in Texas
1t is understood to be the purpose OF
the managers for Mrs. Goodnight t
dispose of none of the stock for Il PEE
Rod of years, say twenty-five, when the
herd will number something like 5000.
