Andrew Lawson, Norwegian cooper was struck on the head by falling block while at work on one of the piers of the Atlantic Transport company, New York city. on Sept. 5, 1S9S He lay like one dead in St. Vincents hos pital for two months. His life was despaired of, but finally he rallied and fegained a part of his lost strength. Lawson is in a normal condition in every sense, with the exception that he has forgotten all about his former life and companions, and has no remem- brance of his native tongue. Try aS he will he cannot converse in the lan- guage that he learned in Norway. His wife is instrucing him as she does their foGr-year-old boy. Lawson speaks the English language only imperfeetiy. The ease has attracted the attention ot scientists and specialists.

Speed of Ocean Llners.

Tn an article in Cassier's Magazine on steam speeds at sea, Mr. Oldham says twenty-five years ago the Atlantic had never been crossed by a screw steamer at a greater rate than fifteen miles an hour, that of the fastest liner, Scotia Today steamers have reached the speed of twenty-five miles an hour, .nd. although the power required to propel steamer varies with the cube of the speed, yet, before a third of the next century expires. another increase of at least 50 per cent in ocean speed may be safely predicted. The con- struetion of a steamer of 65.000 tons will probably not trouble the con- struetors of the future nearly as much as did the building of the Great East ern those of the past.

Old Hudson Bay Receipts.

Among some curious records of the Hudson Bay company are receipts which read as follows. Received per Lapwing, Jane Goody, as per invoice, in good condition" Received per Os- prey, Matilda Timbins. Returned per Lapwing, as not being in accordance with description contained in invoice" ," These belong to pioneer times, when white men who settled in new parts of the country were either obliged to re- main bachelors, marry squaws or send east for wives, trusting to the jadg- ment of the company to select them and send them out.

The inland country towns of Aus

out of it, and the houses are all of one
story and rooted with iron. The three
or four public buildings. however, are
generally of substantial and some.

habltants are very proud of them. The

A LITTLE KNOWN ART.

The Tobacco Flavorer Has short
Hours and Draws Big Fay.
"a G!gh grade position Of which but
little Is known, except to the trade"
observed prominent tobacco manu-
facturer to n Washington Star reporter,
lis what is known as the 'fiavorer,' the
man who Is responsible for the flavor
of all the grades of goods made and
who sees to it that the flavor Is kept
the same year in and year out, 1t mat
tiers not where the tobacco that goes In
them comes from or the conditions un-
der which 1t has grown. OF course to-
bacco manufacturers endeavor to use
the same kind Of tobacco all the time.
but circumstances Mt times render this
impossible.
"As an illustration, our company had
bought up and stored away enough to-
bacco to make up NIL our brands Of
smoking tobacco and cigarettes for the
year, when all of sudden our store
houses were destroyed by fire, and our
stock went out Of existence. There
was no more tobacco Of that particular
grade to be bought, and we were driv-
en- into new fields. The tobacco being
raised on different soil and being
slightly different as far as seed and
stem were concerned, the flavor was
also different. Smokers, and chewers
as we'll, insist on the same flavor oil
the time.
"Here is where the favorer comes in.
BY his art and skill he can make to-
bacco that grows on low lands taste
and smell the same as that grown on
high lands. He can make tobacco
grown during dry season take the
same flavor as that grown during the
rainy season. Tobaccos grown Mt diff
ferent ends of the same state or in diff
ferent states are by his treatment the
same, us far as the consumer Is con-
cerned. He draws big money; but,
though he comes high, as the travelling
show companies say, we must have
them.'
"As may be imagined, there are not
many who are competent to do the
work, and as result they range in
salaries nil the way from 50 to $40 pei
day of about one hours actual work
They are employed, however, but about
nine months in each year."
