ADVICE TO FARMERS.
Tobacco Growers Are Urged to
Hold Their Crop.

The Kendrick Runyon Tobacco
Warehouse Company, Of GAINESVILLE,
has issued letter to the tobacco
growers of the dark tobacco dis
trict, which, in part, is as follows;
"Since prices of tobacco are
worked down to a basis too low TO
be OF consideration we take the
liberty of advising our farmer
friends to put themselves in condl-
ton to hold their crops of tobacco
for more remunerative figures. We
believe later developments will give
more confidence to buyers, and con-
sequently better prices be realized.
Exaggerated ideas as to the extent
OF the crop on hand, and the almost
inevitable reduction of the seasons

important part in the seasons to-

%tRELhND'S ANIMALS.
Species o: Frogs and Toads Are
Found In the Green Isle.

Species OF Frogs and ToadB Are
Found In the Green Isle.
1t is not correct to say that there are
is very remarkable that the common
toad is not found there. The natterjack
toad is n native Of Kerry, though 1t
does not appear to be found elsewhere.
1t is an example of the mania which
some people have for meddling with
nature hat q DR.. Guithers in 1899 took
the trouble to procure frogs spawn
from England, since which time they
have multiplied In Ireland. But the
common lizard Is found In many parts
Of the island. The showroom is not.
Though the common toad md till re-
cent times the frog were not found in
Ireland, 1t is worth remembering that
the English reptiles and batrachians
arc very local In their distribution. The
natterjack toad Is only found in certain
counties. The edible frog was formerly
only found in Foulmire Fen, in Cam
bridgeshire, and the sand lizard is most
capricious in the choice Of n home. The
beautiful green lacert@" which Gill
bert White saw on the sunny banks
near Farnham are to be found there
still, the males being OF the green color,
and also near Bournemouth and in
Dorsctshire beyond Poole Harbor. Yet
there are many suitable places where
none are seen, and then they reappear
again ON some %sandhills on the coast Of
Lancashire, hear Southport.
On the other hand, the absence Of
many species in Ireland which are or
were commonly found in the larger Is
land can only be explained on the sup
position that they never reached the
country. Among these are the wildcat,
the polecat and the weasel. Yet the
paYten was always plentiful on the
other side Of st. Georges channel, and
stoats abound In the west. Five Of the
fourteen species Of bat found in Eng
land have not been taken in Ireland,
neither Is the common shrew found
there or the water shrew or the mole,
though the last is found in Anglesey.
Only six Of the fifteen British rodents
are found in Ireland, and OF these one,
the squirrel, was probably introduced.
Neither is the roe deer indigenous. In
support Of the general theory that the
immigration Of the English fauna was
difficult in the earlier periods and sub.
sequently checked altogether may be
cited the analogous instance of the Isle
of Man. There, as in Ireland, there are
no mo!es, no snakes and no toads.-

Charles Stewart Parnell was one of
the strongest men that ever lived, but
he had numberless superstitions. Once
a colleague of his brought him the
draft of n bill to the cell he was then
occupying i'm Kilmainham. 1t was in
thirteen clauses. Parnell was Mortified.
He insisted that somehow or other a
fourteenth clause should be added.
Once Parnell saw n colleague with
three lights in his bedroom. He was
quite uneasy until he saw one of the
lights put out. 1 travelled with him
once when he had a scarf that had
been presented to him by a lady adj

scarf. One of his superstitlons was
that green was an unlucky color. He
used to say. half joke, whole earnest,
that all the misfortunes of Ireland
came from the fact that her color was

BURIAL CUSTOMS.
The Narioun Mrt!,oda Uscd In tn,
Disposal OF the Dead.

Thc NariouH Mrthoda Used In the
Disposal OF the Dead.
lie disposal of tic dead among civ.
liked nations has usually consisted of
Il Of the following three ways:
Firstly, of closing up the body in earth
or stone; secondly, OF burning the body
and committing to earth the ashes,
and, thirdly. the emDalming Of the
body. The earliest form Of interment
Of which we have any account was
that of the paleolithic cave dwcllers,
who buried their dead In natural grot-
toes and crcviccS In the rock similar to
those I'm which they had lived.
When we come to the later stone age
we find that the people throughout
Europe buried in chambcred barrows
and cairns. Next comes the bronze
age, with It's changes, and among 9th
ers the burial of the dead. The cham
bered barrows passed away, and in
their places Darrows were frequently
used without chambers, and cemeteries
Of stone cists set in the ground were
largely employed. Frequently q nat
ural eminencc Of sand or gravel was
the place assigned for burial, and
around 1t were circles of standing
stones. During these prehistoric times
cremation was also practiced side by
side with the simple interments Of the
people. LII pagan times it was custom
airy, whether the dead were buried
with or without cremation, to put in
their graves such articles as urns or
vessels of clay, bronze, gold or glass,
clothing, personal ornaments, imple-
ments and weapons of warfare.
Cremation was largely abolished
when Christianity spread over the
country, and the intermcnt of grave
goods was restricted to kings and
priests, who continued to be buried in
their royal and sacerdotal robes and
with their insignia of office.
Down to the tenth century cremation
was customary among the tribes locat-
cd along the Volga. Here also human
sacrifices in honor of the dead pre-
vailed. Records of eyewitnesses of the
horrible ceremonies have come down to
us. Charlemagnc prohibited this usage
among the conquered Saxons under
pain of death. In India the living wild
wv was In many instances down to
1920 burned with the corpse Of her hus-
