TOBACCO AND WEATHER.

Dampness Has Unfavorable Influence
 on Various Forms of the Weed.
 Did you ever think about the infu- ence the weather has on cigars and to- bacco in it's other forms? ?" asked man in St Charles street cigar stand. My attention was called to the mat ter but a few minutes ago by a GUS toner who came in to register con- plaint. He was wrathy because the cigars he has bought for the past few days have not smoked as well as usual, and he evidently thought l had switched the brand on him. It never occurred to him that the meteorologlc conditions might have something to 60 with the cigars. It happens that smoked the same brand the customer generally buys, and could understand that his complaint was we'll grounded.
 T explained to him that the damp weather which we have experienced for the past few days was responsible for the condition of his cigars. You see, we have had--an unusually heavy rainfall. During such time in this sec ton of the country it is impossible to keep our stock of cigars and tobacco dry enough. Because of the peculiar conditions here in this respect the walls of buildings sweat, as we are in the habit of saying. That is, they be- come wet and remain ill this condition until the weather breaks-until the sun comes out to dry the dampness. How does it affect cigars2 They become, damp and soft, and have the appear ance of being new. or green, to adopt the technique of the trade. They do ont burn well, smoke in an uneven sort of way, and, as rule. if may judge from my own experience, it is necessary to throw one-Ialf of them. away. There is one thing which I cannot explain and that is the change which takes place in the flavor of the cigars. But the flavor is unquestiona bly, changed. Cigars that have de 1ightflll flavor under ordinary condi- tions become strong and offensive to the taste and frequently burn and blis-3 ter the tongue! That's why it is neces- sary to throw them away before they are smoked to the tip. This is what the deather does for cigars To some extent it has the same influence on chewing tobacco, and not infrequently we have to throw tobacco away be- cause 1t sours Customers do not stop to think about these things. as q rule, and often they will quit place be- cause they think the cigar man is giv- ing them the worst Of it."-New Or leans Tines-Democrat.s

Boy Opened the switch.

SAVANNAH, Ga, March 6-It has been developed by officials of the Sea board Air line that boy named Bir- die Ryals, eight years old, opened the switch at Evergreen, Fla, which caused the wreck there of the Sea- boards limited from Jacksonville to New York. No reason is assigned ex- cept that the child wanted to see what would happen" Thirty minutes before the arrival of the train the boy told Postmaster A. Herring of Evergreen that he intended to open the switch, but the postmaster, though he lives within 150 feet of the switch, took no notice of the boys threat.

EXTRACTION.

' How comes it if one truth there is That each man thinks lne truth is his Though far apart as day and night Mems estimates of wrong and right. Truth is like the sunlight fair Which falls on all and everywhere. Yet that same light we daily see How diverse of result to be. For this is blue and that is green, And these as black or brown are seen. Because the substances themselves Vary, in which the light germ delves, Iris not the light that makes the hue, Matter gives light an aspect new. Light enters undefled by aught, Iris in the thing the change is wrought Nature of lichen, flower and tree Gives all the varied tints we see. So truth tho one is turned and bent And each man finds new intent, Truth comes to all in self-same guise, But not the same are allsmen's eyes.

ON souFRiERE's SUMMIT.
Two Scientists and q Woman Visit
 Volcano ln Eruption.


 Volcano lm EEruption.
 KINGSTOWN, St. Vincent, March 6. The American scientist, Edmund Hovey, and Professor Lacrcix, who was sent out by the French govern ment to investigate the recent erup- tions, accompanied by Mme. L.acroix, the first lady visitor to La Soufriere since the eruptions, ascended the vol cano and visited both craters of La soufriere on March ? i'll spite of the geyseflike eruptions which took place at close intervals during their ascen- sion.
 When halfway up the mountain the party met with a large puff of dust charged with steam which, after rising to a height of 5000 feet, fell and be- smeared them. The party halted, but encouraged by the pluck displayed by Mime. Lacroix, who urged them to con- tinue the ascent, the scientists pro ceeded and reached the summit.
 Immediately after beginning the de scent more serious eruptions occurred, and the party was overtaken by a downpour of mud and had q marrow escape. The scientists are still in the volcanic region.

ST. LOUIS, March 6.-No change in inc Wabash situation has developed. President Ramsey has nothing new to report saying that all his force is at work as usual and that the matter of a strike is now up to the United States courts. Some progress was made by the union leaders, who have secured as associate counsel F. N. Judson, a prom 1nent attorney of this city, to aid their lawyers, Messrs. Penny and Irwin, in the preparation of the motion and affi- davits to be filed in Judge Adams court to secure the dissolution of his sweeping injunction. These formal pa. pers, which will be carefully prepared, will not be ready for presentation for several days.

Stamping Out rthaca's Plague.

ITHACA, N. Y, March e--In ac- cordance with recommendations made by Dr. Soper, who came to Ithaca at the instance of the state board of health, the common council voted to place unlimited means at the disposal of Dr. Soper for the purpose of stamp ing out the typhoid epidemic. A force of twenty men immediately visited all the houses in which fever has appeared and thoroughly disinfected them. The attitude of the university authorities toward the water question is that Cor nell is in favor of any plan which promises to give the city pure water in short order.

Speaking of the vast amount of land that is being given away by the govern ment, writerrin Golfers Weekly says that fin 1900 the government of the United States .deeded away over thir- teen and half million acres of land; in 1901 these disposals reached a total of 16,OO0,OO0 acres, figure which startled the country n its enormous proportions. In 1902, however, there was a gain of 100000 acres, and the disposals made by the government reached the enormous aggregate Wof nearly 2O,OOO,O0O acres. At the rate which has prevailed during the first six months of the fiscal year of 1903, the disposals will probably amount to at least 25,OoO,O GOO acres, or fully as much as was alienated at any time dur ing the great rush of emigration to the west. All this simply means that un- der the homestead law as it stands to- day, under the desert land act, a meas ure born in selishness and chicanery, and under the timber and stone act, the people of the United States are being robbed of their landed estate, which. Lord Macaulay said, Is the only thing which stands between the people of this country and the time when will come the real test of republican insti- tutions. During the past winer quiet but effective work has been done by those who are aware of the pernieious use to which the present land laws are being put, and, as public sentiment has been aroused to the real situation, the demand for change of method is be- coming more general. The situation is such to-day that it would practically be impossible to get any bill through congress which violated the now well established principle of the conserva- ton of the public land for home-seek- CTS so clearly set forth by President Roosevelt in his two messages to con gress."

Close upon the heels of Judge Cross cups decision granting temporary in Junction against the Beef Packers as sociation," says a Washington writer comes the announcement that the beef barons are to form great corporation which eventually may control the meat trade of the world. Although these barons will then continue to do what the courts would now restrain them from doing as separate companies, yet the republicans are boosting of their achievements under the Sherman anti trust law. The republicans have yet to win their first suit under this or any other law, which will lay 8 trust fiat upon it's back and put it out of business for all future time. The republicans get the decisions very useful in politi- cal campaign and the trusts continue to get monopoly profits very useful to pay dividends on watered stock. The Standard Oil Go continues to plunder the people more than the Standard oil III uok fCNC1 A1us fLHC 0IdL0S SLG0l corporation, which includes the pipe concerns. is sticking Us with higher prices for pipe than the Addystone Pipe Go ever got; the Missouri joint traffic decision has not prevented the rail roads from charging higher rates than before and from continuing to discrim- mate in favor of the trusts. Thus 1t is and thus it will ever continue to be until the trusts are tackled in the right way, that is by knocking the under pinning of special privileges from under them. The most conspicuous of these supports is the tariff. While Dingley duties exist court decisions against trusts will be fruitless, except for po- 1itical purposes
