Tobacco Seed Smaller
Than That of Mustard

The cultivation of the tobacco used
in the making of cigarettes is most
interesting process, even to those who
may disapprove Of the habit of smok-
ing the completed product. The to-
bacco seed is so tiny that a single
tablespoonful will produce plants
enough to cover ten acres. Certain
growers whose crops are always of
the highest excellence will not sell
single seed at any price. Every crop
is kept in the warehouse from three
to five years for the purpose Of mel
lowing" or ''sweating"-which occurs
twice yearly before the leaves are
subject to "stemming." Sand and dust
that have remained are shaken out by
sleeves, with the result that the tobacco
is % to 80 per cent lighter because of
the absence of the midrib and sand
Nimble- fingered girls can make $500
cigarettes day, but machines can
turn out 400 finished cigarettes min
ute, or 10000 in an ordinary work
ing day.

After they had retired Jim began to
think how, instead of winning $1,000.
he might have won $4,000 by playing
his luck stronger. The idea gained
such strength that he slipped the
money from under the head of the
sleeping Mrs. Jim and with it sneaked
back to the game. few hours later
he returned, having lost all, and
craWled into bed again without dis
turbing his mate.
He had been asleep only a short

But He Spoke English

An American girl. decidedly Partisan
in appearance, was promenading along
the Avenue des Champs Elysees one
day when she was accosted by
Frenchman in his native tongue In
stead of insulting him in French, as
she was capable of doing, she re-
marked in icy tones, Il don't under
stand word you are saying" Where
upon the Frenchman exclaimed Mon

and walked away. Not long after that
q friend to whom the girl had related
the incident, met with similar ex-
perience. She too. turned whitening
glance on the little Frenchman, who
was muttering in her ear, and told MN

St. Augustine Boasts
Many "Oldest" Houses

In the oldest town in the United
States, st. Augustine, Fla. oldest
houses are very numerous.
AS the tourist stands in the middle
of Treasury street and, stretching his
arms, almost touches the walls on
both sides at once. he is readily con-
vinced that the seventeen thorough
fare is the narrOwest street in the
United States, but the city's own dis
sension as to the Oldest house leaves
the visitor in doubt.
There is an oldest house in Ameri-
ca on the quaint and antiquated St.
Georges street, where men and beasts
mingle on the highway and balconies
droop low overhead. 1t has plaster
walls and dormer windows and red
shingles on it's roof. 1t calls itself
Old Curiosity Shop and carries crest
over its door.
On the bay front is another oldest"
house, postcard proclaimed. 1t is a
two-story structure, with the plaster
peeling of of its brick. 1t has gal
lery above and outdoor stairs at the
side. Still harder to find is an Eliza
bethan mansion on st. Francis street.
It is half timber and half stone, with
wide shingled hoods where it opens
on the street. It was once a Spanish
mission, erected by the monks of st.
Francis who came to st. Augustine
with Menendez They used it for a
chapel until 1890. 1t is now museum
Of old furniture. antique china and
glass.
OF course this is the Oldest, the
keeper insists. What matter? Each is
interesting to visit, with charm OF Its
own, and all are ancient enough.
