ROYAL JEWELRY OF VALUE.
Louis XIV. Gems Mere Shadow Be
side Collar of Geekwar, Mon
arch Of Baro6a.

Entirely apart from the crown
jewels precious stones have been
fad with monarchs. Louis XIV.
OF France expended 25.000,00O
francs in diamond buttons alone.
IN one year spending more than
$6O0,0O0. These and other Jew
els were kept in special display
cabinet and one Of the favorite oc-
cEpations of the monarch was to
sit before the cabinet and admire
his splendid collection.
But all of Louis Jewels
would have paled before the
famous collar of the geekwar OF
Baroda, composed of five rows of
100 diamonds each, the whole
set between rows of emeraIds.
Some Of the stones are as large ais
walnuts and all of them are of the
greatest purity. For pendant is
worn the famous "Star of the
South" one Of the most notable
diamonds Of the world.
The car owns a map of France
constructed of precious stones.
Paris is represented by huge dia-
mond, Bordeaux by an opal, Mar.
seilles by an emerald, and so on.
while the various departments are
shown in a single sort of stone.
The entire collection of stones in
the Kremlin represents more than
$60O,000,O00
Somewhat similar in idea is the
golden globe Of the shah of Persia,
in which the various countries are
mapped in precious stones, the
whole being valued at S1,OOO,OOO.
Neither the shah of Persia nor the
ruler of Turkey would find it pos
sible to appraise his Jewels. AS

CARNEGIE REFUSES TO AID
Famous Philanthropist Turns Down
Faculty Member Because Too
Much Is Paid for Greek.

Not long ago the University of
Cambridge was desirous of secur-
ing from Mr.. Andrew Carnegie a
large sum of money for the erec.
tion of new laboratories and the
encouragement of modern scien
tific research, says the Bookman.
Sir Richard Jebb was selected as
suitable ambassador to present
the matter to Mr.. Carnegie. He
therefore journeyed to SkibO
castle, where he was received with
much courtesy. After the usual
formalities and some general chat.
Sir Richard set forth the needs OF
the university and pointed out
how much good would result
from such a benefaction as was de-
sired. Mr.. Carnegie listened SYM
pathetically and seemed disposed
to consider the request with favor.
Suddenly, however, he turned to
Sir Richard and asked, abruptly
"Do you teach at Cambridge.
Sir Richard?"
"Oh, yes"
"Well, what do you teach?o
"Greek."
"How much do they pay you for
teaching Greek?'
Sir Richard named the amount
of his annual stipend a very com.
Portable sum. Mr.. Carnegie
grunted.
WELL" qu0th he at last, with a
decided change Of manner; "all / |
can say is that any university that
can afford to waste as much mon
ey as that on Greek doesn't need
any from me!'
And so ended the interview and |
the hopes Of Cambridge univer,
sity.

FRANCE AND FRANKLIN.
Spontaneous Honors Paid to an Alien
Citizen by People Of France
Long Ago.

To the sight of the world Frank
lin came as the agent of certain re-
yolted colonies of England to seek
material aid to sustain the hard
pushed rebellion. But to the en-
lightened eye of history he is an
envoy from the new world to the
old, addressing to its half-awak-
ened heart and conscience the
soul-stirring invitation to be free.
No filter choice was ever made by
any nation in any age. There was
too heavy a sea running to have
any incompetence on the quarter
deck, says Century.
An interest which we can
scarcely comprehend was taken in
that day in natural scinece.
Franklin was, by universal con-
sent, the greatest natural philos-
opher of his time. He was hailed
as the confidant Of nature-the
playmate of lightning, a Prone
theus unpunished. The brightest
constructive and critical energies
of the best minds were devoted to
the solution of political problems.
And here, they said, was man
who had founded many states
upon the principles of abstract
justice, and had consolidated
them at last into a superb model
republic. For this hasty generali-
cation had seized the foreign
mind, always too apt to regard
leaders instead of masses, and it
was long before the millions Of
Americans got their due abroad.
Thus it came that the great
heart of liberal France went out
at once in a Quick rush Of welcome
to franklin. He was the point
that attracted the overcharged
electricity of that vast and stormy
mass of active thought. He be-
came the talk of the town. They
made songs about him. They pub
lished more than $50 engravings
Of him, so that his fur cap and spec
tacles became as familiar as the
face of the king on the louis dor.
The pit rose when he entered the
ater. These are not trivial de-
tails. Those spontaneous honors,
paid to an alien citizen by a peo-
pie so long the victim of degrad-
ing tutelage, showed the progress
they had made toward liberty. In
honoring him they honored them
selves. They vaguely felt he was
fighting their battle. They read in
his serene and noble countenance
the promise of better times.

Connecticut Valley Tobacco Market. /.

Tobacco is now making good headway.
Some fields, as one stands upon the SIDE
and looks across, appear to cover the en-
tire surface.
The first hoeing is done, much of the
second hoeing also, and the plants bid
fair to produce a good crop. But, as has
been said, there are many slips between
the cup and lips, so there may be be-
tween planting and harvesting. Almost
the only safeguard is in giving good and
honest attention and thorough cultiva-
ton.
Our correspondents report as follows:
East Deerfield, Mass: Tobacco setting
was very late this year. Cutworms are
working badly on some pieces. The best
remedy for them is one pound paris
green to 100 pounds cottonseed meal,
night. Then put little beside each
plant, 80 or rs pounds per acre. The
worms will eat it before they will tcuc,,'
anything else." Conway, Mass: THE
tobacco is all set and growing we'll for
the weather we are having The nights
have been mostly pretty cold for any
crop to do WE'LL except grass; that has
nearly doubled itself in the last week or
ten days, and promises a good crop.
What we need now is good weather for
haying." East Whately, Mass: "The
hot days of late, and the recent damp
and warm nights, have started tobacco
to growing very rapidly, and it is doing
nicely. G. III. Waite has probably the
best lot in town, it being over Is inches
high. Everyone has left tobacco and
gone to haying. Onions. as a rule, look
good Early potatoes are ready to dig"
North Hatfield, Mass: Tobacco is look
ing fine. Some plants stand from IL to
Is inches high, good and broad, and
promise to make very good crops."-Cnl-
tivator

NEW YORK, July 7, 1906.

There is no change in the present con-
dition of the leaf market. All kinds and
types of leaf are held for an advance.
Even the nearness of the time when the
new crops will make their appearance in
the market does not affect the frmness
of the holders of the stock to let it 60 at
clearing out prices. Busiest Of all is the
market with speculations as to the prices
the new crops will be offered at, and If
the resolutions made mentally should be
realized, the price of domestic filters and
binders will go beyond 20 cents. Equally
strong is the sentiment of the crop in re-
gard to the Havana filler stock, both old
and new. Reports are coming in from
Cuba now confirming more and more the
original reports published by the q. S.
Tobacco journal on the new crop last
January. The news spread at that time
by the u. S. Tobacco Journal on the new
crop was exclusive as usual and most re.
liable too. AS for Sumatra to judge
from the result of yesterdays last in
scription before the vacation, there
would seem also not the least chance of
expecting the slightest falling off in
price.
The general condition of the local ci-
gar industry may be described as fair for
the season. Indeed that it is a little
better than usual is proved by the fact
that number of factories where habit
is to close down, or almost so, for the
greater part of the Fourth of July week
kept running full force except for the
one day. Comparatively few cigarmak
ers, too seem to be on the hunt for jobs,
which would 60 to show that the major
ity of the factories are fairly busy. How
ever, that there will be falling off soon
is generally expected, as business almost
invariably slackens during July and
August, especially for the clear Havana
factories, the demands for whose pro-
duct during the warm weather always
declines relatively to that for the lighter
seed and seed and Havana article. The
principal news item of interest during
the week was the reported purchase of
large clear Havana cigar factory by the
uet.-Journal.

In THE report of the good rO

In THE report of the good roads cor
respondent, G. V. Kerch, which was re-
Gently forwarded to the Department of
Agriculture at Washington, some very
interesting information is cleaned. 1t
shows twelve hundred and forty-six
miles of public roads in this county, and
only three hundred and ninety-eight
miles improved. Or in other words about
70 odd per cent of the public highway is
still in it's primitive condition. The
amount of money expended during the
year 1904 was nearly forty three thous-
and dollars, and very little good to show
from it. To the town of Union there is
sixty five miles of road and only twent
five miles improved. The town of Por-
ter has sixty nine miles with five miles
good roads to their credit. The town
of GAINESVILLE has fifty seven miles and
not one mile improved. With the
amount of money expended yearly it
would seem that better showing might
be made.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGRRToN, Wis, Jul

w As, IO, ISOO.
While hundreds of buyers have been
making a hot-foot campaign in
the Crawford and Vernon county Sec
tion during the week, the amount of to-
bacco actually placed under contract is
small co npared with the effort made in
trying to obtain the signatures of grow
ers to some kind of option or contract
that will secure the prospective crop.
Estimates of the amount secured run all
the way from 500 to 1000 acres up to
date, but with growers asking from Is to
20 cents and large proportion of them
refusing to entertain any offer at this
time, it is quite generally believed the
market is pretty we'll blocked and the
rush will subside for the present, for
buyers are already deserting the field
1t is noticeable thing that none of the
large operators have thus far caught the
infection or have joined in the chase,
though keeping themselves fully posted
on what is going on. Neither is the gen.
eral condition of the crop reassuring in
the section where most of the buying
has taken place. Some of the valleys
have suffered from the heavy floods that
washed out the early settings, while in
other sections drouth is beginning to be
felt. 1t is told that growers who have
contracted their tobacco at Is cents are
hustling around trying to find plants to
complete their setting. the demand be-
ing so great that S. per thousand is Of
fered for plants. Altogether the situa-
ton is not such that would appeal to
conservative business men.
In the southern counties the crop is
looking we'll, but rains would now be
welcomed. Some riding is also Eeing
done here but only few growers are
caught mapping or willing to contract at
prices the buyers feel justified in offer
ing.
While interest is so strongly centered
in the outcome Of the new crop, very lit
tie attention is paid to cured leaf, though
moderate business supplying the man
ufacturers with small lots is carried on.
The shipments out of storage reach
about 400cs for the week to all points
from this market.
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1906-07-13

THERE are in every community few
individuals who seem to take grim de-
light in advertising to the world the
failings and mistakes of others, real or
alleged In short they are the scaven-
gers of conversation and take pleasure
in pointing out the faults, rather than
the virtues of men and women. They
lose sight of the harm which is done
their fellow men. Instead of aiding and
uplifting such gossip immeasurably in
iures its subject and only degrades those
who start and continue the evil conver-
sation. We can it is true, learn much
from the experience and mistakes of
others, but to do so it is not necessary or
right to advertise your neighbor's faults
to the world. When he makes mis-
take or is under suspicion put the best
possible construction upon his actions
and5give him every opportunity to make
good Be help and not hindrance;
an aid and not an obstacle.

LANCASTER, IENN., JuIy >, l5UO'
If our local leaf tobacco dealers de-
pended for their living on the proceeds
of last weeks business they would have
very poor rations. There was little do
ing, and very little business was txpect-
ed. A number of the dealers are off on
their vacation. and nobody expects to do
any business the next two or three
months. Those who have been over
hauling their packings, looking for black
rot, give different reports. Some can
find very little, while others find good
deal more, they say, than they cared to
find. The truth of the matter is that
about the usual amount is being found,
and that is all there is to the matter.
The weather lately has been all that
could be asked for in connection with
the growing crop plenty of moisture and
hot days and nights. The cut-worms
are reported bad in various sections.
The cigar trade continues good, though
there has been no boom. The report of
the Ninth Internal Revenue District for
June shows that the receipts from cigars
were $197, ,293.47, as against S194 O72.40
for May and $204, ,1O6.O5 for June of 1905.

have inoculated the very first of the
flowers. So it is we'll to pick off such as
have bloomed before you have covered
the plant with your bag. These bags
may be procured at any grocery store.
Do not, if possible, get heavy bags. Get
light ones, as they are less liable to
break down the flowers or break over
the plants. Then support the plant by
driving down stake and tying the plant
to the stake.
