Manila hemp.

Manila hemp is derived from a kind
of banana (Musa textilis) which the ma.
tives call abaca. The stem of the tree
is closely invested with sheathing
leaves like grass stem) to q height #
20 or 30 feet. Above these is a spread
ing tuft of leaves. When years OLD
the plant is cut down, and the stalks OF
the sheathing leaves are divided into
strips. By skillfu!ly working these be.
tween knife edge and a block of wood
they are freed from soft cellular mat
ter. and then dried. Each stalk Yields
about one pound of useful fiber, and
two natives, cutting down and craping,
will make about 25 pounds a day.
Practically, the Philippines are the sole
source of Manila hemp. About half of
It goes TO the United States, and Great
Britain takes nearly all the other half.
The fiber is often adulterated with

In the case Of criminals the first point
to be considered is the manner in which
it was cut off from the cigar. II a
knife or any other instrument was
used for this purpose, then this instru.
ment will doubtless be found on the
criminal. II, on the other hand, it was
bit off with the teeth, thorough ex-
animation of the tip will show what
kind Of teeth were used for this pur-
pose.
"A man with a row of even teeth will
bite off the end OF his cigar squarely
and evenly, whereas one with jagged,
uneven teeth will bite ii unevenly and in
such manner as 10 leave clearly visi-

Sufferers from this horrible malady

Gated June !. Wheat prospect has
shown n steady decline from the ap-

undoubtedly be the lowest product
since 1866 Tho crop is bad over the

cipally corn and oats. OF the 5000, $50
acres estimated 10 have been sown last
fall, 1,053,50J acres is the amount es-
tlmated to have been plowcd up this
spring, leaving hut 1,077,3JO acres for
the harvest, and much of this not
worth the cutting. 1t can very read
lily be seen that the Ohio wheat crop
for 1900 Is n great failure compared
with the average product and with the
possibilities of the State in wheat pro-
ductiOn. We cannot now anticipate II

apparent when we consider that Ohio
has produced above 50,O00,000 bush

year will exceed either of those years.
The present corn area Is estimated N
