the snow in the mountains to melt.

The situation altogether is unparal-

remarkable state of affairs it is suffi-
cient to mention that one of the most
prominent speakers on Sunday was NJ.

twenty-four years in exile and who
had only been allowed since Prince
Syiatopolk-M irsky's advent to come to

Plump Appearance Of Canine and

Cause Barnyard Mystery.

Ben Record owns a COW which he be-
lieved to be one of the best mixers in
all the country until a few weeks ago,
when she began to fall off" suddenly.
The shortage became more and more
noticeable until the animal developed
into a third-class "stripper," relates the

also keeps a full-blooded terrier pup.
whose growth and portly appearance
has occasioned remark, although the dog
seldom ate anything that was offered 10
him by the family. Both mysteries
were cleared up the other evening, how
ever, when Mrs. Record went to the
barn to milk, for there lay the COW, con-
~tentedly chewing her cud, while the ter
rier pup, his feet spread far apart, leis-
urely extracted the precious Tactical fluid
SO much desired for making ice cream or
constructing pumpkin pies. Since the
discovery the COW has become ~reinstated
in the good opinion of the family, but

JAPs TURN TO CIGARETTE
Old Fipe Is Being Rapidly Displaced
by Coffin Nail-Tobacco Con-
sumption Increases.

During the last ten years the con-
sumption of tobacco in Japan has in
creased in a very marked degree. The
old japanese pipe. which was practi-
cally the only way tobacco was con-
sumed, has been supplanted by the cigar
cite. In 1889 the Japanese government
monopolized the tobacco trade, since
which time the cigarette imports have
increased noticeably. In 1898 cigarettes
valued at $66, 234 were imported, most
ly from Asiatic countries; in 1902 the
value of the amount imported rose to
1905 500. The tobacco monopoly law
was SO modified later as to permit cigar
cites and cut tobacco being imported
by private parties upon the payment
Of $50 per cent. ad valorem duty. II
was not till 1898 that Japan CAME to
be regarded as an important market for
American tobacco, and since then the
imports thereto have been increasing
yearly. Cigarette machinery has not
been introduced there to the same ex.
tent as in other countries, but Ger
man manufacturers are making efforts
to introduce their machinery there, and
are meeting with success. Since Amer
lean cigarette machines are the best
in the world, they should command the
market.
