In some mysterious manner Benjamin
Stems new barn, in which he was living
as his new house is not finished, caught
fire last Saturday night about II o'clock
and burned to the ground, consuming
all the furniture, clothing, bedding, in
fact everything he had In the after
noon Mr. Serns drove with his family
down to Oakdale to spend Sunday with
relatives there, and knew nothing of his
misfortune until late Sunday afternoon.
The fire was not discovered until it had
gained such Roadway that it was impos-
sible to save anything. Mr. Serns raked
over the ashes on Monday and fished out
the remains of his and his wife's gold
watches and picked up other recogniza-
BILE keepsakes. There was an insurance
of $500 on the household goods and 500
on the building.

WORTH $500, 900, 600.

The President of a certain big Oil Com
pany is said to be worth $500, 100000. A
tidy bit of money and no mistake. And
yet he isn't happy. In an address to Bible
class he spoke of trials and troubles of the
rich and the loads they have to carry. A
young lady whispered to a friend that he
might wear a Benson's Porous Plaster on his
back or, better still, divide the money among
the members of the class. [ don't know
why her idea about the plaster makes me
want to laugh, but it does. All the same
have seen plenty of people laugh after
putting Benson's Plasters on their backs
or chests, or on any other spot where there
was weight, heaviness, weakness Or pain.
Il may be the sharp stabs of neuralgia, the
aches and wrenches of rheumatism ; it may
be colds in muscles or bones; it may be
those kidney or lumbago thrusts that make
you yell as at dog bite; or it may be a
strain or cramp, anything that wants quiet
ing and comforting. Don't bother with
salves, liniments, lotions, ETC., or with any
of the stupid and useless old style plasters.
Clap on Benson's. It relieves at once
and cures quickly. It stops the pain and
makes you laugh for the very ease and good
feeling of it. But watch out against i'm
itations and substitutes. All druggists, or

TOBACCO MARKETS.
Continued from Ist bage.
New YORK, Feb. 8, 1902.


The output of our cigar industry in its
two largest centres, the 9th Pennsylvania
and our own Metropolitan DISTRICTS for
the month of January shows such re-
markable increase that if continued in
the same proportion 1902 will turn out
to be another phenomenal, record break
ing year. The increase in the 9th Penn
sylvania amounted to eight millions,
while the increase in our Metropolitan
districts reached twenty-five millions in
a single month, seventeen millions in the
full-hedged cigars and eight millions in
little cigars. Surely the leaf market
should reflect a corresponding business.
1t is, however, not on the surface of the
leaf market; that is to say, large trans
actions are still lacking, while business
is undoubtedly steady. The consump-
ton of cigar leaf growing from month to
month, from week to week, from day to
day, the stock of leaf is bound to be alb
sorbed, and if not in large quantities by
leaps and bounds, then by steady and
continuous demand for supply for the
day, week, or month. 1t is a fact that
the accumulations in the warehouses are
being thinned out and thus space made
for new supplies. Some of them, how
ever, will fall very short of the demand,
chiefly binders. Inquiries for Wisconsin
have been urgent and most of the houses
are not any more in position to crafty
them. Those who are holding it will
have by and by a cinch and manufacture
ers will then ruefully remember that the
u. S. Tobacco Journal has not failed for
the past six months to call their atten-
ton to such an eventful predicament.
In domestic wrapper leaf pretty much
the same condition will prevail on &C
count of the heavy and irreparable dam
age in the Big Flats and New England.
A year ago at this time the trade in
force-sweated New England wrapper leaf
had already been quite brisk, while to-
day most of the leaf in these districts is
still in farmers hands. From this con-
dition in the domestic wrapper market
the Sumatra is naturally profiting and
there is an unbroken demand for it for
immediate supply in small lots. The
livliest trading is in domestic filler leaf,
Pennsylvania broad leaf and Onondaga
having the first call. Of the first type
about 1900 boxes and of the latter nearly
1000 were disposed of during the week.
Old Zimmer's are also in good demand,
as but limited quantity of the new
crop is turning out to be of the requisite
quality.
The Havana market is in firm condi-
ton. Old Remedies, if not too high in
price, are selling fairly WE'LL while there
Is no abatement in quest and purchase

NEW YORK. Feb. 5. 1902.

The beginning of February has not
been characterized with anything like
activity in domestic leaf tobacco circles.
The rush for Broad leaf reported last
week has Quoted down somewhat, and
while this grade is still the leader in
point of demand, no large amounts are
moving just now. Only few sales have
been reported this week, and these in lots
hardly large enough to justify recording.
Firms who have balanced their books
for January report that the month was
a very satisfactory one.
Sumatra. market, too, is rather
quiet at present While few houses
are doing fairly good business, they are
the exceptions rather than the rule. AS
is usual at this time of year, reports are
current to the effect that there will be
short crop of tobacco for 1902, but it is
too early yet to learn anything accurate
on this subject.
Havana.-The Havana leaf market has
had another very good week. A good
deal of looking" has been going on dur
ing the past few days, and some fair
sized deals have been put through. Prices
seem to be growing frmer, and importers
are making fewer concessions. Among
sales reported during the past week we're:
$50 bales 1900 Vueltas, factory vega, PIT
so bales 1900 Remedies, LIST capaduras,
80 cents; As bales 1900 Remedies, I'd

Strange Facts About Amin a Is.

Have you ever noticed that all AMI
mails which chew the cud are cloven
footed? Also that most Of those which
drink water by suction are herbivorous,
the carnivorous variety tapping it with
the tongue, like the cat, dog, tiger, etc.
Sheep have no teeth in the upper jaw,
and tortoises and turtles are without
altogether.
Unlike most animals, horses have no
eyebrows, and hares are minus eye
lids. Consequently the eyes of the lat
ter cannot be shut, and a thin mem
branous substance covers them when
asleep. The eye Of the owl is also very
peculiar, seeing that it is immovably
fixed in its socket and cannot stir in
any direction. To compensate for this
seeming disadvantage it can turn it's
head almost completely round without
moving it's body. If you were to keep
a frogs mouth open many minutes, it
would soon die, as owing to it's peculiar
construction it can only breathe with
the mouth closed.
On the other hand. fishes are COM
PEELED to keep opening and closing their
mouths in order to give their respira-
tory organs full play. 1t is also a
strange fact that the deer has addi-
tional breathing places besides the nos
trils, as if nature had foreseen his
great need of free respiration when
forced to flee before the hounds. Snakes
usually have their teeth in the head,
but one variety in Africa, whose prin-
cipal food is eggs. is provided with a
substitute for them in it's stomach.

Connecticut Valley Tobacco Market.


There have been many sales of late of
the 1901 tobacco crop, but at very low
prices, really ridiculously low prices.
Not one of them hardly as high as Sec
onds are worth, and very many at barely
filler prices. We have the name of one
grower who sold seven or eight tons at
liz and SC. While $50 cases of Wiscon-
sin Havana seed were reported sold at
18c. and this Wisconsin leaf is bought
for binders. Some claim that nearly or
quite half of the Connecticut Valley
crop is sold. It seems as though prices
were improving, as that now held is
largely by men that are not disposed to
sell at such prices as were first offered.
So they are having their crops packed
and will hold for the sweat. We have
heard of one grower who, in asserting,
finds no more damage than is shown in
average years, and says his crop is as
sorting nearly or quite 60 per cent. of
fine light wrappers. Others say that the
bulk of the late cut tobacco is remark
ably free from damage of any kind. II
it is absolutely necessary that the grow,
er should sell at 5 and l cent, then we
have only this to say, such a man should
have guardian, or spend his energies
in growing eaters. "-Cultivator.
