Three ways are used by farmers
for curing and preparing their to-
-bacco for the market; namely sun
cured, air cured and fue cured.
The old and cheap way is called air
cured; the later discovery and i'm
proved way is called fue cured.
In flue curing the tobacco is taken
from the fields and racked in barns
especially built to retain heat and
there subjected to continuous high
temperature, produced by the direct
heat of fame heated flues, which

pert tests prove that this fue cured

The Word Jamaica.

The word Jamaica is variant Of the
aboriginal name Of the island-"Xay-
maca," which is a combination of two
words signifying water and wood. As
Jamaica is known as the ''island of
springs" and produces an abundance
of trees and vegetation, the name is
highly appropriate. Old English locaIi-
ties are reproduced in Jamaica. Thus
the island is divided into three counties
-Middlesex, Surrey and Cornwall. The
parishes hardly correspond with the
counties. Why there should be par
iSh Of Manchester in Middlesex and a
parish of Portland IN Surrey is not ap-
parent at first sight, but the parish Of
Trelawny in Cornwall is in perfect ac-
cord with the fitness Of things. The
parish derives its name from Sir VIII
liam Trelawny, who was at one time
a governor Of Jamaica.-London Chron-
icle.

BURNING IN EFFIGY.
A Custom Born OF the Superstition
of the sAncienfs.

A Custom Born of the Superstition
of the sAncienfs.
The burning Of people in e1igy has
come from foolish superstition OF the
ancients, who believed that by burn
ing a likeness of a person they were
inflicting pain upon the individual him
self. Theocritus tells us that the Greek
sorcerers killed their enemies by magic
rites perfarned over the efhgy Of the
person who had offended them, and
Virgil also makes mention of this.
In the days of witchcraft and perse-
cution one Of the most common charges
against witches was that they made
waxen images of their enemies which
they melted before fire and thus
caused the dissolution Of the originals.
The japanese still regard the efagy
as a means Of punishment OF faithless
lovers, and in France to the time Of
the first revolution execution by ef1gy
was a legal rite In the Netherlands
the same illogical custom prevailed,
and the different religions burned the
efigies of each others leaders with
zeal. In England the burning Of eff
figies was also practiced. as it was
later In America.
No doubt from the ancient custom Of
burning the efigy arose the idea Of
placing the wax figures Of eminent men
in Westminster. abbey. In olden times
upon the death Of a celebrity a waxen
figure representing him fully dressed
as. in life was made and carried in the
rear Of the funeral procession After
the service the efigy was set up in the
church as temporary monument, and
during the time it was on exhibition it
was customary to paste or PIN pieces
of paper containing complimentary
epitaphs upon it. The royal figures in
Westminster abbey date back to the
fourteenth century.-New York Trib-
