Alfred Bunker of Boston has become
famous, not because he has been a
schoolmaster forty years, but be-
cause he has whipped 524 pupils of the
Quincy school during the last half year
of 1905. The school board has declared
that it was not necessary to whip a
single child. and Bunker Is facing q
crisis. His pupils are hard set, being
largely Poles, Italians, Syrians, Arme-
mans and Jews, and the district Is,
Of course, illiterate. Consequently, the
pupils of the Quincy school we're with
out home influence for betterment.
Their educating influences began when
they came into the school and ended
when they left it. Moreover, 1t was
peculiarly difficult to understand their
natures. The duty devolved upon the
principal and staff of the Quincy
school, first, to get close to these chill
dren of foreign birth or foreign parent
age; next, to keep them In order; next,
to teach them the rudiments of knowl-
edge.

Great Damage Caused to the Cuban
Tobacco CrOp.

Great Damage Caused to the Cuban
Tobacco Crop.
The American charge de affairs at
Havana has reported to the State De
partment that the tobacco crop of the
finest regions in Cuba is almost total
loss, says the Washington Star. The
destruction Is the result of torrential
rains, which will reduce the yield from
469,32S bales, the figures of 1905, to
less than 10000 bales for 1906. This
amount will in all probability be still
further reduced, as the acreage this
year is smaller than that Of the pre-
vious crop
The effect of the torrential rains has
been to blight the seedlings, and the
next crop will be almost fat fail
ure. AS 1t takes at least ITO days from
the planting of the seed to the cutting
Of the mature leaf, there will be a
long interval of distress and short
age.
The government has received appeals
for aid from many quarters, and pro-
poses a series of public works which
will give some relief to the workmen
thrown out of employment and will
tend to control the rivers in case of
future floods and heavy rains.
The shortage in the supply Of the
tobacco leaf which is now assured will
affect prices to considerable degree.
The market already has been strongly
influenced, and corresponding rise in
the price Of cigars must inevitably fol-
low. The American smoking public
will feel the increase in price before
the foreigner, owing to the fact that
the American consumer prefers the
green" cigar, while the Englishman,
German and Frenchman place a higher
value on the seasoned cigar. In Eng
land and Germany 1t is possible, con-
sequently, to keep on hand large stocks
of cigars. The American importer pre-
fers a much smaller stock because of
the fact that he has superior and more
numerous advantages for obtaining new
supplies of the weed in short time.
Furthermore, the enormous import duty
on cigars undoubtedly operates strong
ly in discouraging the American i'm
porter of limited capital from laying
in a large stock of cigars.

Jack Mannix was coxswain of her. He
would give Jack a drink. Leaving the
gate, he advanced to the edge of the
embankment, and, putting his head over,
called out to his friend. The breeze,
however, which was momentarily fresh
ening, carried his voice away; and Jack
Mannix, hearing nothing, continued his
conversation. Gimblett was just drunk
enough to be virtuously indignant at this
incivility, and seating himself on the
edge Of the bank, swallowed the remain

feeble attempt to get upon his legs, cast
