many.
" "The rapid extension of Germany's
direct lines Of sea connection with
our Southern neighbors,'' - says Mr..
Murphy, "the growth Of German col
onies there and the consequent in
crease of German influence and trade,
especially in Southern Brazil, in my
opinion, should arouse feeling OF
friendly rivalry in American business
circles If we intend to maintain our
position In these rich markets"
Mr.. Murphy enclosed extracts from
articles recently published in Berlin
journal, showing Germany's remark
able foothold in South and Central
America. Among the statements
made are that the German steamship
lines maintain such a position In
South and Central American traffic
that the North American commercial
fleet is entirely unable to enter into
competition with them. Not less than
five great German steamship lines are
engaged in trade with South America,
especially with Brazil. Furthermore,
it is stated that in the southern por-
tfons Of the continent there are al
ready over 24o.o0o German .colonists
and the German ommercial spirit has
completely driven out the English in
the Central: and Southern provinces.

Color, burn and texture are the three
things which the grower of tobacco has
chiefly to consider. At present the trade
calls for light cinnamon-brown shade,
which must be uniform, not notified. The
leaf when rolled on a cigar and smoked
must leave a white or light gray hard
ash, which does not flake off and fall
into ones bosom or over his waistcoat
and it must not Coal. e.. have a black
charred ring just behind the ash on the
burning cigar. This is sure to give
bad flavor and taste. The leaf also must
burn freely, and when lighted hold firm
for a reasonable time. 1t must have "a
soft, silvery texture, glossy surface and
the elasticity of a piece of kid, so that
1T 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 obtain
ed Flavor is conditional upon soil and
fertilizers. 1t is desirable. therefore, that
the leaf be neutral, without taste, as far
rs may be. We get the flavor wholly in

So when the Rescue Corps went after

The Iandlady of the Boarding House at
which the Major lived was one of the
Earnest Workers. She was a Good Soul
and she longed to wean the Major away
from the Old Stuff and get his Nose
bleached. She advised him to take the
Gold Cure, but the Major said they never
would get a Drink Cure into him unless
they hurried in into him while he was
Asleep. The Landlady gave him Ten
Nights in a Bar-Room' to read, and had
a little Girl sing Father, Dear Father,

good. Also she gave him a Chart show

was a clear case of Value Received. The
Public Schools had filled his youth with
