FACTS FOR SMOKERS.
The tocacoo plant has boen thor
oughly naturalized in all parts of the
world.
Tohaoco is named after the pip 3
used by the West Indian islanders,
and was originally called "tobago."
The oil of tobacco found in the
? stems of long-used pipes or obtained
by distillation at red heat is one of tho
most active and powerful poisons
known.
After the plano is cut down it must
be allowed to wilt so that it can be
bandied without breading. If left too
long, however, it becomes sunburnt
and its qualities impaired.
The smoke of burning tobacco con
tains nicotia, nicotianio, salts of am
monia, hydrocyanic acid, sulphuretted
hydrogen, three or four volatile acids,
phenol, creosote md several other sub
stances.
Molasses, licorice, fig juice, glycer
ine and some other substances are
used to give sweetness to chewing to
bacco, -while in some brands aalt is
also employed, and various aromatio
essences are used for their flavor.
"Worming" the tobacco is a steady
job on a tobacco farm. The worms
that feed on tobacco are not easily
killed by poisons. Young turkeys are
the best "wormers," as, when accus
tomed to the job they examine every
leaf, and never miss a worm.

PAUL, *f
MANSFI
By MAJOR ALF?
AUL MANS
field, in 1868, was
as handsome a fel
low of four-and
twenty as one could
find in a week's
search. He was a
civil engineer, in
the employ cf a
company that was
at that time making a survey for a
railroad through New Mexico. He
was so noticeable in figure and bear
ing that a stranger would be sure to
look after him if he passed him on the
street. But there must have been an
other man in the world that looked
very much like him, if he were not an
actual double, and the adventure
arising from this resemblance was a
remarkable blending of the tragic and
comic.
. Santa Fe had in it then, and no
doubt has still, very many beautiful
brunettes of Spanish and aboriginal
descent.
ff Senorita Maria Diaz-a year previous
to the date I have given-was engaged,
according to tho Mexican custom that
does not consider the wishes of the
lady in the matter, to Bernai Valdez,
who, like her father, was a rich,
middle-aged man.
Senor Valdez would undoubtedly
have married the lady had not a young
army surgeon appeared on the scene.
Doctor Brandon met the beautiful
Maria Diaz, and it was a case of love
at first sight.
The young American would have let
the cause of his wooing follow the
regular and eminently proper chan
nels, if there had been time for it,
but, unfortunately, he only met his
enslaver a week before the day ap
pointed for her marriage with Valdez.
To secure the lady there was not a
moment, to lose, and the only meanc
he could think of was to enact the role
of young Lochinvar. He found friends
to help him and the lady willing.
They eloped to Fort Union, where
they were mar jd, and as it was
positively dangerous-indeed it would
have been death-for the doctor to
return, with or without his bride, he
very prudently kept on to New York
City, where his parents, well-to-do
people, resided, and where he subse
quently remained.
The advent of a troop of soldiers or
.of any considerable body of strangers
into a* New Mexican town is always
celebrated by a * 'fandango, " or1 'baile ;"
the former word, though* originally
the name of a special dance, is now
applied in that region to an evening of
general dancing.
The coming .of the engineer corps
was celebrated after the usual fashion.
The men were encamped near old Fort
Marcy, and the officers of the expedi
tion took up their quarters at the
Fonda, as the hotel facing on the
piazza was called, though it1 may not
be amiss-to add that "fonda" is the
Spanish-name for "hotel."
Paul Mansfield was writing up his
field notes in his room at the hotel the
night of his arrival, when Captain La
mar, who commanded the engineer
cavalry escort, entered, and, without a
word, removed the papers and put
away tho ink.
"Hello, Lamar! Making yourself
at home, eh? Come, bring back my
profile blanks; I must finish a report
to-night!" said Paul Mansfield.
"Finish it when we get back!" re
plied Captain Lamar, as he took up a
hat and coat, and, putting the former
on Paul's head, evinced a desire to
help him on with the 1?tter.
"Why, what's up?" asked Paul.
"A fandango."
"That ia not unusual here, I under
stand."
"But you never saw one, and this is
to be a swell affair. Come, old fellow,
don't neglect the chance of seeing a
pretty woman. Think of the dreary
mountains and sterile plains, with not
a woman within hundreds of miles,
that lie before you. And then every |
scientific man should know something
of human nature. I will show you a
new phase of it to-night:-"
"But I don't dance," pleaded Paul
Mansfield.
"Very well, I'll dance for both and
you can look on," replied the Captain.
After much urging Paul Mansfield
said he would go to the fandango "for
just one hour."
The dancing took place in a low,
adobe building on the outskirts of the
town. The long room was illuminated
by suspended oil lamps, and at the
entrance was a "refreshment" counter,
at the farther end a platform for the
two men with fiddles and the one man
with a guitar, while on benches around
the walls sat the senoritas-many of
them chaperoned by their mothers,
and a thoroughly democratic gather
ing of cavaliers, American and Mexi
can.
Paul Mansfield stood near the door
watching the graceful dancers, among
whom was his friend, the Captain; but,
though much interested, he could not j
help noticing that the Mexican men
stared at him by twos and threes, and
that they whispered excitedly, and
that their black eyes burned with
anger. As he could not think that he,
a perfect stranger, could be the cause
of their excitement, he gave it no
further thought.
When the hour he had set himself
was up he decided to go he ne without
notifying his friend.
He had gone but a few p^ces from
the door when he heard a rush and
felt himself being hurled to the ground.
Looking up he saw a number of men
bending over him with knives in their
hands, and one of them hissed:
"Make an outcry and we will kill
you!"
Paul was unarmed, and, though
brave as a lion, he realized that resist
ance would make a bad case worse. As
the men began to bind his arms he
asked:
"What axe you going to do with
me?"
ELD'S " J|
DOUBLE, J|
{ED R. CALHOUP?.
"We will take you to Senor Diaz's
house and keep you there till Bernai
Valdez returns from AgUa Caliente in
the morning," replied the man who
seemed to be in command.
"But why take me there? I will
give you all the money I have about
me."
"We do not want your money.'*
"What then?"
"Vengeance for Bernai Valdez! He
will kill you with his own hand for
running away with the girl that was to
have been his wife-"
"Upon my soul, I never ran away
with a girl-never dreamed of doing
such a thing. You have the Wrong
man. Let me tell you who ? am-v>
"You are Doctor Brandon! Not an
other word. Come, come, padres; lei.
ns carry this gringo off."
The latter part of this remark w?s
addressed to the other Mexicans, who
had now bound the young mnn's feet,
and forthwith they picked him up and
carried him off with much ease.
Being a perfect stranger in the town,
Paul Mansfield knew nothing about
the narrow streets and dark, dingy
houses which they passed. At length
his captors entered an arched gateway,
and, taking him into a dark room, they
threw him on the floor and told him
that he would be killed if he raised his
voice.
He heard the shooting of a bolt in a
heavy lock and then the retreating
steps of the men.
The apartment was very dark, and
the cords hurt him. His pain was
growing unendurable, when, to his
great joy, he heard a door opening
softly behind him.
Before he could tdrn his head a beau
tiful girl appeared before him' with a
lamp in her hand.
Without a word she cut his cords,
and as he rose to his feet to thank her,
indescribable was his surprise to find
the arms qf the beautiful girl about his
neck and to feel her kisses on his
bronzed cheek while she sobbed.
"My brother! oh, my brother, you
must fly!"
It must be confessed that a sense of
gratitude prevented the young man's
permitting all the kissing to be on one
side; or it may be that he did not wish
to retain what was evidently intended
for another persor, and so gave the
kisses back. Briefly, he told her that !
ho was not her bro ther, and explained^
so far as he could, how he came into
his present embarrassing situation.
And with a bewitching smile she told
him how sl.e had heard his captors say
that they had caught Doctor Brandon,
the gentleman who had married her
twiu sister, Marin, and that she came
to free him.
She did not tell Mm, for it was a sad
subject with her, that her father had
settled that she shoxild take her sister's
place and become the wife of Bernai
Valdez.
Through a faithful servant she had
Paul Mansfield conducted back to the
Fonda, where he .found Captain Lamar
anxiously searching for him.
The adventure was explained, and
the Captain laughed at it very heartily,|
declaring that he would willingly un*-'
dergo the s:ime suffering if assured of
the same treatment by a beautiful girl
at the end. Bernai Valdez and a num
ber of Mexican cal! ed at the engineer
camp the next day and eyed Paul
Mansfield sharply. Though appear
ances were against them, they had to
be satisfied that this was another case
of mistaken identity. Had the adven
ture stopped here they would have
been certain that they had hit the
wrong man, but it did not.
Paul Mansfield's mind and heart be
came so full of the beautiful girl that
kissed him and called him "brother"
that he lost his interest for the present
in engineering, and applied for a leave
of absence.- ,
In the ^meanwhile the before-men
tioned "faithful servant" became the
bearer of many notes between the
young people who met so strangely,
and more than once ho found his way
to the garden of the house where he
had been imprisoned.
Again Santa Fe was startled; again
Bemal Valdez was robbed of a possible
bride.
Paul Mansfield had eloped with the
beautiful Isabel Diaz. News came
that they were married al Las Vegas,
and had gone on to tho East for the
honeymoon.
Paul Man ifield has since met Doctor
Brandon, ne w his brother-in-law, and
they do not resemble each other so
nnfch when together.-New York
Lodger.
Is Tea Hurtful?
Physician? tell us that tea is in
jurious to the nervous system. At
the time of its introduction into
Europe much opposition was provoked
and much written in hostility to its
use. Henry Savile writes in 1678 to
his uncle, Mr. Secretary Coventry, in
sharp reproof of certain friends who
call for tea after dinner, instead of
the bottle. He calls it "a base Indian
praotice, which I must ever admire
your Christian family for not admit
ting." Another writer, at about the
same date, calls it "a filthy custom,"
and adds, ' Men seem to lose their
stature and comeliness, and womer
their beauty."
Dr. Samuel Johnson drew his own
portrait of "a hardened and shameless
tea drinker, who for twenty years
diluted his meals with the infusion of
this fascinating plant, whose kettle
had scarcely time to cool; who with
tea amused the evening, with tea
solaced the midnight, and with tea
welcomed the morning. " So the great
doctor could have feared no ill effects.
Expel ience proves that the moderate
use of tea sustains the body undex
severe muscular strain without caus
ing subsequent, exhaustion; and ii
forms an agreeable means of imbibing
the quantity of water necessary ?:
human nutrition.-Lippincott's.
AGRICULTURAL
Manuring In tla? Hill.
It is only concentrated manures that
can be profitably "?"?d in the hill.
Whenever stable or barnyard manure
is used in this way it aids in drying
the soil above, and thus often does
most harm just at the most critical
' period of growth. The roots of all
i hoed crops will more certainly reach
! the manure if placed between the rows
' that if tho seed has been planted
directly over it. Both corn and pota
! toes, especially the former, bend their
i leaves so as to turn the water that
: falls in rains to the middle of the rows.
1 Scarcely any water except in heavy
' rains with driving winds can reach the
j hill whence the stalks grow.
Thc Dreaded Poison Oak.
This beautiful viny shrub is a con
spicuous feature uf thc flora of the Pa?
I cific coast from Southern California to
j British Columbia. It is especially
I abundant in the coast range, where its
I slender stems, twining about oaks,
I reach a height of twenty of forty feet;
with luxuriant leaves at the top. In
' the spring and summer, its graceful
green adds an indescribably delicate
. touch to the woodlands; and in autumn
j the rich red of tts leaves makes splendid
i pAtehes Among the evergreen trees, or
lights like a flame the duller shades of
j deciduous forests. It likes damp soil,
i and when seen on dry, open ground;
Bhus is but an insignificant shrub;
with scant reddish leaves resembling
in shape those of the whit? oak. PoisoU
oak resembles the poison ivy, BhUs
Toxicodcndron, of the Atlantic States,
and causes a like cntaueous eruption.
Many cases of severe poisoning occur
where there is no exposure to the plant
other than sitting by th? operi window
of a caf; of riding in ? private con
veyance thfdtigh canons where it riots
gloriously over rotting stUnip And tree
trunk; And again persons equally sus
ceptible find their hands and fades
break out with stinging pimples just
from the handling of wild flowers which
were picked adjacent to poison oak';
bf the poison is transmitted from
clothes worn by picnickers. Fortun
ately, however, these are the excep
tional instances, and ordinarily if one
avoids touching the foliage, the danger
is averted. The stockman and farmer
probably suffer the greatest aunoyanc?
from poison oak: The Avorst cases
come passing to leeward bf a fire in
which it is burning, and grubbing ont
a range or clearing off A foothill farrd
necessitates this means of f hiding th?
ground of brush. The hired man who
CAii handle poison oak with impunity
has an added value to the farmer who
sutlers from the contact with this vexa
tious bush. The antidotes recom
mended 'are many but are well-nigh
useless. A few simple remedies, like
the application of salt, soda and fre
quent hot bathing, can usually be re
lied upou to modify the itching and
swelling of the part? affected, but the
sufferer, if he be no novice, is perfectly
certain that an affection of poison oak,
like othcrtliseases, must run its course,
and so waits, with what stoicism he can
command, for the allotted ten or four
teen days to pass.-American Agricul
turist.
Farm and Garden Noted.
Of course it is better to hatch A few
chicks late even of the lArgef breeds;
but they will not pay as layers.
For your own table it pays to hatch
chicks from Felnrunry to November;
but the number should be limited;
Thorough cultUf? saves moisture and
invigorates the plAut; rendering it less '
KKftceptible to the attacks bf insects??a
fungi.
Th? greAt object on the farm should
be to make everything pay, whether it
be livestock or farm crops. Are we do
ing it? If not, why not'.'
Fifty hens' on a farm, properly
handled, will pay better the year
through than 200 in thc same place or
roost. Quality rather than quantity
should be the rule.
Cutting off largo limbs is best done
by first sawing a little on the undor
side, so th/;t when the limb falls it
will not split the wood nor peel the
bark down the trunk.
Eggs and chicken meat beat salt
pork all to death as an article of diet.
Use plenty of each. Do not expect that
the eggs will pay all the grocery bills
unless an abundance is produced.
Low-headed trees will bear some
what sooner than high-headed ones,
for they sooner reach the proper height
of trunk and the heads'are sooner de
veloped to support a full crop of fruit.
One of the most effective means of
increasing the profits of gardening and
truck farming is to so arrange the
planting that horse power may be
utilized in preparing, planting and
cultivating.
Some farmers tbi*>k that money \lone
should be counted t3 determin?
whether a thing pays or not. This is
a great mistake. Fruit pays even if
we do not sell a dollar's worth. It keeps
down doctor bills in the family.
A liberal poultice of fresh cow man
ure may not seem nice to tie onto a
tree that has accidently been peeled
with the single-tree or otherwise, but
there's nothing . better to cause "the
wound to heal over quickl y and sound
ly.
Watch the young trees closely dur
ing the spring and summer; pinch back
and cut out where necessary to develop
a perfectly formed head. The first,
years of a tree's orchard life are the
best years for thi3 wort, and if it is
properly attended to there will be no
necessity for severe amputations with
the saw in after years.
A plot of ground on which a brush
heap has been burned is and excellent
place to start plants for tate cabbage,
as the weeds are not liable to bother
much here and the ashes, mixed with
the soil, cause the plants to grow
vigorously and strongly, providing
that they have room for best develop
ment, the plants standing about an
inch and a half apart.
Contrary to expectations at the Ohio
Station, the best results have been sc
oured in using medium and late varie
ties of potatoes for late planting.
Usually, late planting does not pro
duce as large a crop as early planting,
but the advantage lie in being able to
follow early crops in this manner, and
in securing better seed, because of the
superior keeping qualities of late grown
potatoes.
Injudicious slashing of fruit trees
will not do; those whose orchards have
been neglected and who do not under
stand pruning, should get an experi
enced man to do the work, though, as
Professor 'Hansen, of the S. Dakota
Station, says, "a man accustomed to
trimming orchards in the Eastern
States would better keop his knife in
his pocket unless -willing to adopt
Western methods," and vica versa, we
might add.

"Women on Shipboard.
A current newspaper calls attention
to the old superstition among sailors
that women on board ship bring ill
luck. In the days when sailing ves
sels were more numerous, it says, and
Jack had a wider opportunity to select
among the floating homes one that
most nearly coincided with his ideas
of comfort and safety, he was apt to
shun those whose captains shared the
glories and comforts of the after cabin
with a better half.
Nowadays steam has made the
opinions of sailors of as little account
as sailord themselves are; but the
prejudice survives ar?; but the preju
dice survives in the minds of the few
old salts that have not fallen to the
rank of Coal shovelers and ricaners of
paint.
To th? superficial observer; this bb
j?etion to the pr?senc? bf women at sea,
made ,by a class of men who, when
ashore, are far from showing indiffer
ence to feminine charms, would seem
td b? a particularly absurd and unre?
sdn?bl? piece . bf nonsense, but .the
(j?nst Seamen's Journal, which is a
piper ?ot given to the fostering of mys
ticism, says that there is more than
superstitution in the old belief.
Close attention to happenings on
the ocean, it declares, will prove to
any ono that women do bring iii luck
on shipboard, not, of course, through
any dark working of the supernatural
powers, but by increasing the natural
severity of captains, add by their read
iness to give evidence in behalf of their,
husbands against Which, in A court of!

not suggest the advisability of a hard;

it says that rer.l evils frequently result
from them and intimates that the only
remedy is an extension of the privilege
now enjoyed b? ?ommander?j to mi?of!

worn with blazer or jackets of dark
cloth.
For traveling gowns select materials
which are strong and durable and
which are not easily rumpled by rough
usage.
Linen suitings are again at the fore,
and will doubtless be as popular as last
season for the perennial skirt and'
costumes,
Norfolk jackets are worn. Some ofj
them have belts that slip nnderneathj
the plaits and fasten with a jeweled:
buckle at one side.
Velvet ribbon in a regular lattice-!
work to cover a loose vest, the lower:
part of sleeves, a collar and skirt pan-'
els is quite a French fad.
A close fitting basque waist of velvet;
has one wide lapel faced with cloth in
a contrasting color. The belt, collar
and cuffs are of the light cloth.
Semi-transparent l.twn or linen
promises to be a great favorite for'
dressy costumes, as they admit of
trimming being used with great effect.
Among the latest color combinations
are orange and light tan, mauve and
mastic, blue and orange, and brown
or golden tan with a very pinkish lav
ender.
For railway travel a simple ulster
or dust coat of alpaca or silk, iu a de
sign of pinhead points, is the most
serviceable and stylish of all gar
ments.
In some hats only the crowns show
the straw, the stiff brims being covered
so thickly with flower petals that the
under framework of the hat cannot be
seen at all.
An Eton jacket has long points slop
ing back a little from the middle of
the ifront. The revers meet over the
bust where there is a loose scarf of soft
silk tied in a knot.
For shipboard "tho most comfortable
suit and the handsomest iu the long
rnn is a yachting guit of lino indigo
flannel, or in the beautiful navy cloths
worn by officers of the navy.
Colored lawn trillings are applied to
white dresses, and flower-printed
lawn is need for portions of the bodice
and sleeves and blouse waists made of
the same color as the flounces at the
bottom of the skirt?

Tho Puzzle Lock Bracelet.
A novel piece of jewelry is the
puzzle-lock bracel the chain of
which is secured by a lock formed of
three revolving pieces engraved with
figures or letters. Only by arranging
these in some particular combination
forming a private code can the lock be
opened, ar 1 as the figures may mako
an immense number of combinations,
the "open sesame" is welt nigh im
possible of attainment except by the
owner. The idea of this device is that
che bracelet eau be taken off and used
to chain a bicycle to the railings while
the rider is in a house or store, as A
fastening to a traveling bag, and for
many other purposes of the sort. Most
people would be apt to suffer qualms
of anxiety in leaving it as a lock to a
bicycle, but for the maker's assurance
chat the bracelets, which aro made in
a variety of designs, are so strong as
to render the length of time required
for filing them through a risk which
the bicycle thief would not venture to
incur, while it is impossible to break
the look or to open it in any other way
than by the mysterious code.-Phila
delphia Record.
"Three Cheers and ? Tiger."
As to the origin of the use of the
word "tiger" in the phrase "Three
cheers and a tiger!" tho following
story is old: In 1822 the Boston Light
Infantry visited Salem, Mass., and en
camped in Washington Square. They
indulged in a good many rough-and
tumble sports, and one day a visitor
exclaimed to one of them, "Oh, you
tiger!" The phrase became a sort of
playful reproach, and on tho way to
Boston some musical member of the
company sang a line, "Oh, you tigers,
don't you know?" Thus they ac
quired the name, and they soon began
to imitate the growl of that beast.
Then at the end of three cheers a
"tiger" was always called for. This
company visited New York in 1826,
and at a public festival they astonished
the New Yorkers by giving the growl,
which tickled the fancy of the hosts so
much that the custom became fixed.
San Francisco Chronicle.
l/tlllzlnj? Waste Glaa?.
A French scientist, M. Gf.cckey,
has discovered a method of utilizing
the waste glass accumulated at fac
tories. He grinds the glass to powder,
which is put into a metallic mold and
introduced into two furnaces in suc
cession. The first furnace anneals
and deritrifies the mass. The mold is
then passed into the second furnace,
which is heated to a very high temper
ature. When the mold is drawn from
the second furnace it is ready to be
pressed into different shapes for build
ing purposes. This discovery will
not only relieve the difficulty with
which glassblowers have had to deal in
getting rid of their refuse, but will be
a source of profit. The potteries have
a similar elephant on their hands, but
no solution bas been arrived at in
their cases, beyond using the refuse
for the making of railway embank
ments.
