Louis XVIII must have been sincere
ly grateful for the institution of spies.
Shortly after the restoration he asked
Fouche. his minister of police (who
had filled the same office under Ma
poleon) whether he had been efficient
ly spied upon during his exile in Eng
land. After a considerable amount Of
pressing, Fouche admitted that one
of the members of the, royal house
hold, the Due de Blacas, used to fur
nish regular reports concerning his
masters movements. How much did
you pay for his services?" inquired
the king. "A fixed allowance of GS,-
900 year" was the reply. 81 am glad
to hear you say that" said the king.

as spy, and so long as he was work
ing for you l used to draw $4,000

he didn't cheat me."-London Chron-

 Accounts disagree as to the exact cause of the fatal drop. A defect in the tail of the aeroplane or in the propeller or mprudence on the part of Warneford are among the explanations offered. That the accident was not due to an eXplo- sion or to motor trouble, as first reported, was shown by an examination of the mo- tor today It was found to be perfect
 Those who say the aviator failed to exercise proper caution cite the fact that the machine fell when Warneford was steepechasing. He was about 300 feet up at the time, according to several wit nesses, who assert that he took unusual risks. It Is said that he had been steeple- chasing for some minutes with increasing speed and daring, and that suddenly the machine, from a cause as yet unexplained and which probably will remain mys- tery, was seen to tip over and dart down. ward

 Detectives Ben Brown and Cartwright have been extremely busy running down every possible clew which might lead them to believe Cousins was the victim of foul play Detective Brown said we still have few clews upon which we are working, but l must confess that | 1t now seems that the deceased killed him. self At first every indication caused doubt as to the man taking his own life. and since there was some doubt Detective Cartwright and myself determined to make, thorough investigation before pronouncing the death of Cousins suicide.

Pelham Heights, June 1S.-(Speeial) Dr. Hendricks of Howard college in his lecture hour traced the conceptions of the Roman church that led them to per secute all dissenters a practice which was begun by Constantine for purely state reasons and, when he had made the church state institution it read fly followed his practice-their concep- ton of the church and of salvation compelled them to do so
 The Lutherans, said Dr. Hendricks, persecuted nearly as bitterly as did the Roman church; even Calvin and Zwingl persecuted for dissents. Referr- ing to the church of England at home and in this country was also guilty of persecution. Hence, the Anabaptists said Professor Hendrieks-and the Baptfsts the only Christians Who livtd during the age of persecution that did not prosecute others, were persecuted by all others

which was set up by an expert from a government department, through whose efficiency the most modern me- chanical and chemical devices for the testing of tobacco were installed.
 Nothing Is taken for granted-all leasing" substances used in connec- ton with the manufacture of tobacco are carefully analysed and must come up to prescribed standard. By leasing" is meant the sweeteners. such as licorice. sugar, honey, and many delicious combinations which are kept secret. Practically all the work in handling licorice is done by machinery, where in former years it was matter of human handling.
 In other ways the manufacture of tobacco has kept pace with modern methods of cleanliness and hygiene.

Where the Tobacco Comes
 From

Tho tobacco comes from Virginia and Kentucky in hogsheads and is aged in these hogsheads in a large warehouse during period of several years. From Virginia comes the light-colored leaf. and from Kentucky the famous Burley tobacco, which is probably in greater use than any other type of tobacco grown. Vir- ginia tobacco is used for the wrap- pers where light plug is required.
 The tobacco is first bulked in bins and properly dryed. It is then stemmed by almost human stemming machines. Certain types of tobacco require hand stripping, which means that the soft part of the leaf is stripped from the woody stem and it is then turned over to the twisters, who roll it and dry 1t. The tobacco is then racked and searched in order that 1t will be tobacco, all tobacco, and nothing but tobacco.
 1t is then carried automatically tc the vats. where it is mixed with the casing. The casing is distributed through the tobacco by means of ar

The Plugs Are Automatic
 ally Pressed

After they have been wrapped, tho plugs go into the dryer for an hour and half, where surplus moisture ia removed. They are then weighed and checked, and from this go to im- mense hydraulic machines. where. automatically, they are pressed into the right shape and the tags attached.
 The average man who goes through the Liggett & Myers Tobacco Com pany's factory comes out amazed not only at the care that is exercised in the manufacture of the brands and the determined observance of cleanli- ness--more, he is astounded that he can buy a plug of tobacco for cents or 10 cents after having seen the many processes through which 1t goes. from its growth in the field to it's final boxing and shipping. 1t is in this great factory that STAR--the worlds largest selling brand-is made.

 There is an emergency hospital right in the building. Here a trained nurse is in constant attendance, and a doctor always on call.

How the Work Is Done

In this. the largest tobacco industry in the world, are some men who have been on the job over forty years (do- ing one thing)--and they have be- come the most expert in the world. The ''order" men are especially ex- pert. By 'order" is meant the con- dition of moisture. The "order' must be just right-if 1t is too moist it will not do, and If it is too dry it will not do.
 Tobacco quality is judged, first, by the "order" of the wrapper, so that it will not break and yet not be wet; second, the "order'' of the filler, which is arrived at by the sense of feel; third, that it is manufactured prop erly--not lumpy, not too much in the center, so that every man who buys a piece may be sure of getting his full
