LOVE TO BE HUmRueeED.
Tobacco Mans Estimate of the Ameri'
49, DILIia

Tobacco Mans Estimate OF the AmerI-
can Public.
THAT the American public loves to be
h~umbugged is shown by the extraordinary
popularity of what is known as 'Egyp-
tan" sigarets. OF the 500 varieties of
these articles now in the market it Is al
most safe to affirm that nine-tenths have
had as little relation to Egypt as the
men who use them under the impression
that they came from Alexandra or Cairo
said j. G. Salvin, a New York tobacco
drummer, to a, Star man at the Raleigh
today.
In the first place there Is no such thing
as Egyptian tobacco. The culture Of the
leaf Is forbidden by law In that country.
The reason of the prohibition involves a
| curious chapter in trade history. The
best cigaret tobacco of the east is Turk
ish, and 1t Is used in Russia, Turkey.
| Egypt and nearly all the Mediterranean
countries. Long ago 1t was found that
Turkish tobacco going from Constantine
pie to Alexandria underwent a sweating
which improved it's flavor. If carried a
shorter distance, say, to Beyroot, or a
longer one to Algiers. there was no inn
provement. This gave a prestige to the
Egyptian cigaret made of Turkish tobacco,
which brought wealth to the manufacture
and q heavy revenue to the state. In or
der to Increase this revenue the govern
ment at one time took measures TO grow
the leaf in the delta, but the result proved
an unpleasant surprise. Though grown
from Turkish seed, the weed proved in
ferior, and the cigarets made from 1t fell
i fiat on the market. The disfavor eX-
tended to the legitimate traffic. Manu-
facturers complained and the. government
found a deficit in its returns. To make
amends a law was passed forbidding to-
bacco culture, and ever since the Egyp-
tian cigaret has been made OF a tine
grade of the Turkish leaf. The country
exports a large number OF cigarets and a
very small quantity Of tobacco, moi
enough, In fact, to make as many So
called Egyptians as are smoked in TWEEN
ty-four hours In the United States and
Great Britain. The tobacco of the do.
nestle Egyptians Is Turkish OF all sorts
OF grades. and also Syrian, Greek. Rou-
melian. Rouinanian and Russian"

THE OLD SOLDIERS DAY
Beautiful Custom of Observing Me.
mortal Day-The Nations
National Debt.

In 1865 occurred one of the most i'm.
pressive II soul-stirring pageants
which this country has ever seen. On
the 23rd and oath of May, the armies
of the union passed in grand review
before the president and the secretary
of wal in Washington. On the first
day $4,000 men of the army Of the Po-
tomac marched through the streets of
the national capital, n on the follow
ing day the 69, 900 members of Sher-
mans army carried their tattered flags
over the same line of march.
In all there We're 149, 900 men in that
blue tide which, for six hours on one
day n seven on the next. flowed past
the capitol; and OF the great ann
which stretched across the front Of
the building the tired and war-worn
veterans read a sentiment which must
have touched their hearts. 1t was
her sense of obligation to them. The
words were these: The only national
debt we can never pay is the debt we
owe the victorious union soldiers"
Today. says the Youths Companion,
a thousand little professions made up
Of those same men will march behind
muffied drums and with flowers in
the comrades whose marching days are
done Thos who passed before the
president in the grand review of 1865
were mostly young men, some of them
mere boys. The little companies which
make their way from post h%eadquar-
tiers to the cemetery today are made
up of old men. Each year finds the
heads whittier, the line thinner, the steps
more feeble. Yet the loving memories
remain unchanged. the old comrades
unforgotten, the service in their honor
unneglected.
The dignity and ~faithfulness with
which the veterans of the civil wal
observe this annual ceremony has not
been lost upon the country. The pa
thetic spectacle Of these feeble old mer
marching every year under the flag
they once defended has touched us all
1t has helped us to realize hat we
have indeed a national debt we car
never pay" and has confirmed the
beautiful custom of giving one day II
the a to u dead, be they soldier
or civilian.

MEMORIAL DAY IN THE SOUTH
The Story Of How the Custom of Dec
Grafton Originated.

Woman's Home Companion: An as
ISOLATION known as the Ladies' Aid So
ciety was organized in 1851 for looking
after soldiers who died in Columbus
hospitals. They were buried under the
direction Of these ladies', who there
after took charge of these graves, max
ing it a practice to go in a body to care
for and beautify them with plants and
flowers. January, 1866, Miss Lizzie
Rutherford, a member Of hat society,
made the suggestion that a specified
day should be adopted upon which o
memorial service should be held for
the purpose Of decorating the graves
annually. The proposition met at
once with the greatest favor, and a let
ter was addressed TO each Of the chap
tiers in their cities and towns suggest
ing similar action or their part.
These letters were written in March,
1866, and from their publication re-
suited the observance of April 26 az
Memorial day for the confederate dead
in several southern states.
The floral displays are always mag.
nificent in the larger cities, and espe-
cially is this true of Richmond. In
historic old Hollywood lies the gallan,
and beloved Stuart. There, too, sleeps
the old cavalier Pickett, and many
others scarcely less distinguished
There, also, rests the president of the
confederate states, and by his side tn,
Daughter of the Confederacy." Ant
on Memorial day flowers from the hillt
of Vermont commingle over her gray,
with those from the plains Of Texa,
and the land of the setting sun as {
tribute to her worth and in attesta.
ton Of a reunited country.

The Sickle the Sheaf
A Memorial Day Story
By PETER MACARTHUR.

sewing she found it harder every year
to get orders for her dainty needleWork.
and the people who thought they We're
really doing something charitable IN
giving her work at all naturally could
not be expected to pay more than they
paid for machine work. OF course there
was something about handwork that
was better. but Matty never complained
of the prices. She only turned her dress
again and with wonderful neatneSs
mended the holes that would come. she
~rearranged the ribbon in her hat SO
hat they would look less faded. n
every year she had her sickle and sheat
for the grave. But this year there
would be no sickle and sheaf. Instead
Mrs. Barclay had a warm wooden shawl
around her old shoulders, that felt he
chill even in the summer, and every
day she would a some little dainty
that Matty would cook and TAXI to
her with her own hands. ;
Next morning Matty dressed herself
to go out to the grave Then she took
a white card with a little piece of rib
bon that she had prepared for the
sheaf INC sickle. On the card was
written 'Dulce ct decOrum est pro pa
tria mort" The phrase has been worn
threadbare by StudiOus school boys,
but to her it meant as much as it did to
Horace when it first thrilled to his
heart.
The veterans of the post will put
some flowers on his grave. and can
slip this among them," she said to her
self. Then she went to see his mother
An hour afterward she was kneeling
by his grave where the soldiers and
children had scattered flowers and
then passed on to the sound of wailing
music. She had brought nothing in
her hand save the little card, but her
heart was very full. She felt that he
knew and rejoiced, and her face shone
with the beauty of the true immor-
telleS.
Hearing a step beside her, Matty
raised her head.
Here are your flowers" said Mr..
Floyd gruf1y. You did not come for
them, and so l brought them
But l didn't order any," exclaimed
Matty in terror as she thought of what
the" would cost.
81 know -ou didn't, but I have al
way made a big profit on the sickle
INC cheat l made for you every year,
and flowers are cheap this year. and
and-won't you tie your card to the
piece"
He heard of the reconciliation
as one will hea of things in a small
place, and he knew why Matty had not
left her order. If his lips trembled as
he vatched her tying the card as vel
tears, his mask of beard hid the weak.
ness. But his eyes betrayed him. They
We're bright with moisture as he turned
away.
"Dulce ct decorum est pro patria
mort"
But to do some other things is also
sweet n seemly.
