How to Judge OF Tobacco,

Color, burn and texture are the!
three things which the grower. Of to-
bacco has chiefly to consider. AT pres
emit the trade calls for a light cinna-
mon brown shade, which must be uni q
form not notified. The leaf when.
rolled on a cigar and smoked must
leave a white or light gray ash, which
does not flake off and fall into ones
bosom or over his waistcoat, and it
must not 'coal'''--i. e., have a black
lcharred ring just behind the ash on.
the burning cigar. This is sure to give
Ea bad flavor and taste. The leaf also
must burn freely, and when lighted.
hold firm for a reasonable time. It
must mus have a soft, silvery texture,
glossy surface and the elasticity of a
piece of kid, SO that it may be drawn
smoothly and closely about the cigar.
Flavor is not wanted in Connecticut
tobacco, for if there be much of it it
is sure to be bad. Perfect burn, color
and texture can be got in the northern
climate, but a delicate and agreeable
flavor has not yet been obtained Fla
&Vor is conditional upon soil and fer
tilizers. It is desirable, therefore, that
the leaf be neutral, without taste, as
far as may be. We get the flavor
wholly in the Cuban filler. To OBJ
tain these qualities of leaf is the
problem Of the. grower-a much more
complicated one that meets the or
binary farmer. @ a. {,

From the Louisville Times about

young fellow whose fond mamma ia
trying to introduce him into society
He is as awkward as a bear, all hands
and feet, and when sent to call on
girl he glares around her parlor for
some means Of escape, and looks Ike
he was sitting on a porcupine.
One Of these young fellows paid q
party call on a beautiful girl in so
.ciety.'

continued, irrelevant1y, don't you
know, when I call on a girl don't care
whether she's pretty or not No; I Just

ugly as sin. n.
Had the hostess been homely she
would have slain him for that, unless
sne possessed a sense Of humor. AS 1t

HAMMOCK MEMORIES.

1t was this way. Brown, putting it.
plainly, is fat. Some of his friends
with cannibalistic imaginations say
that he is fat enough to butcher. But
let that pass. He is fat, and the other
night, shirt open at the collar, damp
hair spread at will, and fan going like
a pendulum of a grandfather's clock.
he served notice that he was going to
stretch hammock in the back yard
and sleep there. Mrs. Brown made the
foolish suggestions of burglars, Group,
and neuralgia, but he was fixed in his
purpose.
Brown is the best and most reliable
sleeper in town. The storm came with
its deluge. The sWaying hollyhocks
banged him in the face, and the swing
ing branches of the big maple tried to
bat him out Of the hammock. But
they only rocked him, and the rain
cooled him. His visions were a charm

Every schoolboy knows in brief the

The story of the British prison ship
Jersey is a criminal record Of the
progressive murder Of nearly 10000
continental patriots, and that within
the sight of their own dear land and
amid the Wanted plenty of their cap

credit of us, who enjoy the fruit Of
their sacrifice, that no fitting monu-
ment has yet been reared to their,
memory, even though their bones have
been given the Christian burial first
denied them, says Boston Herald. '
The Jersey, the most notorious OF
the several prison ships, was an old
