BOSTON, April 15.-A clay model
of the first statute of a Confederate
officer to be erected at the National
Military park, Vicksburg, has just
been finished at the studio of Henry
Hudson Kitson at Quincy, a suburb
of this city. 1t represents Lieutenant
General Stephen Dill Lee, G.. S. A., as
he stood at a critical moment of the
siege of Vicksburg in the eventful
summer of 1863.
The figure is of colossal size, stand
ing nine feet high. The attitude is one
of expectancy-of momentary rest he

raised and thrown forward, and the
unsheathed sword, held in both hands,
rests upon it, the scabbard hanging
naturally by the side.

RAGpICKERS OF PARIS.
They Constitute a Strange Guild That Is.
Hereditary.

The rag-pickers Of Paris are born to
their work, the occupation being passed
from father to son for generations. Each
rag picker family has its own district,
which is inherited by children and grand
children. In spite Of all the progress
made in modern and elegant Paris,
barrels Of waste are piled up on the
streets in front of many buildings on
beautiful boulevards in the early morn
ing hours, and it is the privilege, and in
fact the mission, OF the agpickers to
examine this refuse. They have use for
everything, and but little is left after
they have passed, their very thorough
ness being one reason why the system is,

USEFUL TREES OF FLORIDA.
Great Variety Growing In the State
Durable Woods.

Great Variety Growing In the State
Durable Woods.
Florida has perhaps more useful
trees growing within her borders than
any other State in the Union-a great
er variety But there Is q general de-
sire to introduce more, as the soap
berry, the tallow tree and the euca-
lyptus.
An addition to the discussion of the
latter, a tree which Is very valuable
because it has the unusual quality of
growing with great rapidity, yet fur
nishing a hard and durable wood, Is
furnished by letter to the editor Of
the Florida Fruit and Produce News
by E. e. Thompson of Avon Park Mr.
Thompson says in part: Eucalyptus
trees were first planted here about
1894, and were injured by the great
freeze, but sprouted and grew like
orange trees. A few eucalyptus trees
planted later have made such wonder
full growth as to cause people to look
up, take notice and rubberneck to see
the lofty tops. The growth In ten
years is six feet around the body.
THE seasoned wood is hard as hick-
DRY and posts show no decay in the
ground. The limbs, twigs, leaves and
seed cases make the very best fuel.
Our people are convinced of the great
value of eucalyptus and are planting
them up and down the avenues and In
the cemetery and will soon plant them
in forest form"
In California some species of euca-
lyptus show greatest development in
low. places where rain water stands
and In swamps, river bottoms, etc..
though they will endure drought, ac-
cording to bulletin of the University
of California. The durability of the
wood, according to other authorities,
is due to an oil with which 1t is i'm
pregnated and which is extracted for
commercial purposes.-F1orida Times

For wisconsin Tobacco Growers.

An experiment of great Importance to
tobacco growers in the United States is
believed to have resulted in complete sue
cess in Connecticut, where DR.. w. w.
Garner, of the Department of Agrlcul-
plantations at Suffield. 1t is in the dl-
rection of a quick method of curing the
leaf by which the possibility OF pole
sweat, the dread of the tobacco curer'
may be obyiated. Steam heat has neen
employed by DR.. Garner in these ex-
periments, and samples of tobacco leaves
which were put through qulckrurylhg
and curing process by its application
have been sent to Washington Tor cnem-
ical ANALYSIS and comparison with the
results of analyses of leaves OF the same
tobacco that were cured IN the conVen-
tional way at the risk of pole sweat.
This investigation is OF great interest,"
to the tobacco growers of Wisconsin,
who are alert and up-to-date III al, their
methods. and who as result are pro-
ducing tobacco that has an enviable rep
utation among buyers. The Wisconsin
grower has the necessary soil, but he is
occasionally harrassed by climatic eccen-
tricities. However, climatic troubles only
keep him alive and watchful and event.
ually rebound to the good of the states
product. Tobacco cannot be neglected,
either in the field or in the curing sheds;
but sometimes in the latter the tireless
work of season is nullifed by acct
dents of natural process that are difficult
to avoid. Hence the interest of the
farmer in method of curing that will
insure him against loss after he has de-
voted himself assiduously during an en-
tire season in the cultivation of the
nlant
