WHAT C0LORs MEAN.
Each Familiar Shade Once Had an
Occult Significance.


Occult Significance.
In the lore of the medieval mystics
each color had meaning of its own.
Black has always stood for hatred,
malice-all the evil influences of the
world. Red has many meanings Deep
red upon a black background signifies
anger; blood red, brutality; dull rust
color, avarice, and brOwnish red, self
ish love.
AS brOwnish red means selfish love.
brown alone stands for selfishness,
while greenish brown is jealousy.
Livid gray is fear and dull gray de-
preston.
Crimson is the sign and symbol of
love, and when the crimson is changed
to beautiful rose color it represents
unselfsh love. while the same rose
color tinged with lilac means spiritual
love for humanity.
Orange is the color of pride and am
bition. and yellow is intellectually.
Green of Shiny. ugly shade stands
for deceit and cunning, but emerald
green is versatility, and a luminous
blue green means deepest sympathy
and compassion. Apple green stands
for strength and vitality.
A luminous lilac blue means an ex-
ceedingly high spirituality and when
used or worn with gold means elevated
spiritual aspirations, such as the mar
tyrs and saints lived and died foi

HOUSEHOLD SUGGESTIONS.

A black cat that comes into
the house of it's own free will
bring good luck.
If you spill salt you should
cross it and throw some of 1t
over your left shoulder.
You should mark cross on
the top Of aScake or a pan of
bread before you set it to rise.
This will prevent it from being
fat.
Never turn bed on Friday or
the person who sleeps in it will
have bad nights for week
Breakages always go in three.
So if you have broken one thing
you should Immediately smash
two more worthless ones-empty
bottles or something Of that kind
so that the breaking may be
over and done with.
Never put pair of shoes on a
table. for this leads to quarrel
If two people wash their hands
in the same water they will
quarrel very shortly

Smokes Barred to Boys.

A new law on the sale and use of to-
bacco went into effect last Saturday.
Under this law every person who shall
sell or give to any person under the
age of sixteen years tobacco in any
form, without the written consent of
the parent or guardian of such minor,
shall be fined not less than $1,000 nor
more than S25 90 for each offense. The
law also provides that each minor who
shall smoke or use cigarettes, cigars or
tobacco on any public road, street,
alley or park or other public lands or IN
any public place of business or amuse-
ment, except when in company OF a
parent or guardian, shall be punished
by fine Of not more than $1,000 or by
Imprisonment for not exceeding thirty
days. AS this measure became law
last Saturday, it behooves our mer-
chants and others to regard its provis-
ions, and the boy under sixteen should
bear in mind that if he now uses to-
bacco in any form he is liable to pros
ecution, unless he is in company of his
parents.

Pennsylvania.

LANCASTER, PA, April 20, 1913.
1t is. estimated that not more than 10
per cent Of the 1912 crop now remains
unsold in the growers hands. 1t has
been going off in nibbles the past
couple of months. The buyers were
local packers who were not in the field
when the buying was in full blast and
ten to eleven cents was being paid.
But they were unable to resist the
temptation of five to seven-cent bar
gains, even though some of these buy
ers have more old goods on hand than
they know what to do with.
Dealers interested in replacing Penn
sylvania Broadleaf in Lancaster county
with Havana Seed say they have dis
tributed enough Of that seed to plant a
thousand acres, and they are convinced
that fully that many acres will be put
out in the Havana tobacco because they
gave it only to growers who would con-
tract to plant it. And in the contract
it was stipulated that the ground to be
planted was to have put on it barnyard
manure or only the best commercial
fertilizer. 1t is desired to have the ex-
pertinent made under the most favor
able conditions, for it will really be an
experiment, and failure is not to be
risked through any improper prepara-
ton of the SOIL.

New England.

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, Apr. %, 1913.
Buyers who have been ransacking the
Connecticut valley have unanimously
agreed that little, if any, tobacco re-
mains in the hands of the growers.
Prices have stiffened again and hold
firm at substantially the highest figures
paid last summer. Some startling prices
are reported to have been paid for
trash. From the packers standpoint
the situation has improved materially.
1t is now believed that there will be a
satisfactory margin, even on the crops
bought under most unfavorable circum-
stances. The crop raised this season
will be about the same as last, as there
cannot be material increase without
more shed room and the prohibitive
price of lumber keeps growers from
building more sheds

NEW YORK, April &c, 49,

NEW ONh, "A pIll ZOJ 1910.
Market conditions were somewhat
disappointing this week. Trading is not
as flush at it is expected at this time of
the year, with the exception of the new
Sumatra which seems to be taking ex-
ceedingly we'll with the manufacturers.
Importing houses report that they have
disposed of already almost the bulk of
their new importations, and scant hope
is expressed of being able to replace a
like quantity of the same quality and
availability at the balance of the in
scriptions. The lack of binder leaf is
being helped out by forcesweating the
new crop. But such forcesweating is
likely to injure the standard quality of
the cigar Neither has the Pennsylvania
filler situation improved. In spite of
the shortage of the Ohio caused by the
flood damage the demand for the Penn
sylvania type does not seem to increase.
The week is also reported to have been
rather quiet in the Havana market.
AS usual toward the close of the
month business among the jobbers and
importers has slackensd up somewhat.
This is not in itself an indication of a
sag in business; it is merely an exhibi-
tion of the buyers habit of waiting un-
til the beginning of new month to re-
new his stock. AS a matter of fact the
year to date has been very satisfactory.
The first quarter showed marked i'm
provement over the corresponding per-
iod of last year, while April, though
not looming so large as the first three
months, still shows gain. journal

The cold, dry winds prevailing during
the greater part of April have proven
very trying to the starting of the plant
beds, especially where sprouted seed
was sown and the winds sapped the
moisture from the surface of the beds.
The young plants are appearing but
frequent watering of the beds is neces-
sary if the plants are expected to make
proper growth. 1t is nearly three
weeks since rain has fallen and the only
hope for keeping the plants coming for
ward is to see that moisture. is sup
piled as needed. 1t seems quite likely
there will be shortage of early plants
when the transplanting season arrives.
