or foggy weather the relative humidity
remains high, and if the temperature
is also relatively high, there is danger
from the shed diseases. If now the
temperature of the shed can be raised
Is or 20 degrees above that of the out
side air and the air can be renewed by
ventilation, the relative humidity can
be dropped from near Saturation to be-
tween so and go per cent, where no
danger from the disease need be feared.
If sufficient heat is not applied or is
applied for too short a time, more harm
than good may result, since more
favorable temperature for the growth
of the fungi is produced, without re-
ducing the humidity sufficiently to
check their development. Where to-
bacco is cured by artificial heat, little
or no damage from decay occurs.
When shed burn has begun in shed it
is possible to check it's development by
the use of artificial heat.
This heat may be applied as open
fires under the tobacco, or by means Of
furnace fiues. On account of it's cheap
ness and simplicity only the open fire
method will be considered. The fur
mace fiue system is rarely used except
where curing is done by artificial heat
alone. In order to obtain the best re-
suits from heating, the shed must be
reasonably tight and be supplied with
good ventilators for use when desired
Material which gives dense smoke
should not be burned in the shed as the
quality of the leaf may be injured.
Coal or coke cannot be used on account
of the injurious gasses. Charcoal, very
dry wood or corn cobs are best Every
thing should be done to obtain as even
heat as possible throughout the she'd
For this reason a large number of small
fires are preferable to few large fires.
The use of some sort of defectors i'm
mediately above the flame to prevent
the heat from going straight up is also
desirable. The length Of time fires are
kept up will depend entirely upon the
weather conditions. Several small fires
kept burning from IL to "a hours will
usually be sufficient for all ordinary
cases.

SOUND BUSINESS MAxlMs.
Use Your Ability and Take No Stock
In the Law of Chance.

IN the Law OF VI aHCSs
Most men who have amounted to
anything started with nothing but
ability and determination. a comb.nsl
ton Which recognizes no .ran ms.dt'
limitations.
Any kind of work is better than idle
ness. which is directly responsible for
most Of the unhappiness in this world.
Idleness is a dangerous thing. Ii
may grow into habit that might stick
to you after you get back in harness.
and the man who loafs on his job IL
only fooling himself.
Eternal, intelligent effort is the price
Of commercial growth. and where there
is no progression there is bound to De
retrogressiOn. Business is something
like aeroplaning-to stop is to drop.
and to drop is generally to bust.
If had an enemy and wanted to get
even with him l could wish him moth
ing worse than to land in a soft job
and get the loafng habit. 1t would
only be a question of time before he or
the job petered out, and the longer he
held on the worst off he'd be in the
end. for there is a law of cOmpenSa-
ton which somehow or other makes US
work in old age for the time we waste
in youth or suffer if we can't make
good.
Pin your faith to this law of com
pensation, but don't take any stock in
the law of chance; there's no such
thing. Waiting for something to turn
up in the belief that things are bound
to come your way eventually is throw
ing dice with fate. Many a good dog
never got a decent bone until his teeth
were gone-Maurice Switzer in Les
lies.

Love of the Forest.

The only way to love the forest is to
stay in it until you have learned its
painless travel, growth and inhabitants
as you know the fields. You must be-
gin at the gate and find your way slow
ly, else you will not hear the great Sc
cret and see the compelling vision.
There are trees you never before have
seen. flowers and vines the botanists
fail to mention and such music as your
ears cannot hear elsewhere. = Gene

They Live Underground, Some of Them
Never Seeing Daylight.
In the region of Gharian, in the hin
terland of Tripoli. there is an invisi-
BILE town with 1000 inhabitants. This
city of the Troglodytes was visited by
Miss Ethel Braun and is described by
her in her book. 1.-THE New Tripoli.'
This city is excavated out of rock
and earth. It's inhabitants live under
ground, some of them never coming to
the surface. 1.-The richer Ones" writes
Miss Braun, ARE born in these dim
dwellings. never leaving them until
they are carried out to be buried" The
rich families have, however, one recep-
ton room over the ground at height
of six or seven feet.
Describing the Troglodyte prison.
Miss Braun tells of an italian lady's
experience while visiting the female
prisoners.
''They had never seen European
woman before and asked her to take
off her hat No sooner had she done
so that in a twinkling all her hairpins
were pulled out. to be kept as SOU
venirs by the women, who looked upon
them as most precious mementos."
The friendly Troglodytes made
Arab tea for Miss Braun, "Shai. as it
is called, made with powdered tea and
much. very much, sugar, so that it
tastes Just like a sirup," and they
were very excited at the event of her
visit

FOR APPENDICITIS, TOO
Twilight Sleep Used in an Operation
on N. Y. Physician Sunday.

New York, Dec. 1.-Scopolamin, the
twilight sleep" drug, was used in q
successful operation for appendicitis
for the first time in this country Sum-
day.
The operation took place in a pri-
vate hospital at Union Hill. N. j., and
was performed upon DIR. Charles "
Niemeyer. himself an expert in the
use of the drug for maternity cases.
Doctors Louis LaBarr and Arthur
Walsehied of the Polytechnic hospital,
personal friends of DIR. Niemeyer, as
sisted by two local doctors, performed
the operation.
DIR. Niemeyer was stricken on Fri
day night and removed to the private
hospital, where he requested that
scopolamin be used when the opera
ton was performed. 1t was learned
that while this was the first time the
drug had been used for an appendi-
citis operation. it has been frequently
used with success by DR.. Chile of
Cleveland for the removal OF goitres
from the neck.
