A Waggish Wheelman. A well-known wheelman, who was also a wag, was recently summoned before a judge in Copenhagen. Den mark, for riding on a footpath leading 1 to Lyngby Church. "You have been cycling on the Lyngby Church footpath?" said the Judge, severely. The cyclist ad mitted it. "You are fined four kroner." The offender took out the coins and and laid them down. "May I ask, Your Worship," he inquired, meekly, "whether Prince Waldemar and Princess Marie have permission to cycle on the path in question?" The Judge looked uneasy. "Um-= no, certainly not. Is this your first offence?" "It is-and will be my last." "In that case," said the Judge, "I will let you oif with a caution this time." The culprit picked up his money, bowed and walked off. As he reache I the door the Judge's curiosity over came discretion, and he cried out: "Wait! Did you actually see Prince Waldeiar and Princess Marie riding on that path?" "'1? Your Worship-certainly not," replied the wag, with a mild look of surprise; and then, with a twinkle in -his eye, he disappeared, leaving the Julge to what must have been queer reflection.: Stockholders in the World's Fali will get $10,000 rebate on remintin3 of souvenir coins.

Dessons In the Tobacco Farm. Out lines of the Process. South Carolina tobacco, as a rule, has been >est adapted for high grade *rappers and or smoking tobacco-. These require the best rades naturally, and the curing also hag iad much to do with the high prices that iave been paid for South Carolina tobacco. L'obacco can be cured in two ways, by cut ing the leaves and curing on wires as the eaves ripen, and also by cutting down the ;talk, leaves and all. nad curing differently omewhat from the wire or steel process. It as been the rule in Darlingtdn and Florence .ourtiet t6 cure on the sticks and wires, but his may perhaps be changed, as the large nanufacturers are now urging that tobacco thall be stalk cured. This mode of curing s deemed so much more desirable by the nanufacturers' that some of them have in ftructed their local buyers to adhere, as ;trictly as possible, to purchasing stalked red tobacco for them. The buyers of rappers have been particularly instructed :o purchase stalk-cured tobacco, and the nanufacturers say that a test of this will early convince all of the superiority of this : the wire=cured tobacco, and they prophesy he early abandonment of the curing by vre. If It is desired to cure on the wires the eaves are taken from the plant as they ripen, are being taken not to gather green leaves. [hese are placed in baskets and conveyed to he curing barns and there strung on the vires, four to six inches apart, on each point Lecording to size of leaf. Extra care must Lgain be taken to avoid bruising or other rise damaging the leaves. The sticks are hen hung in the barns on tier poles, about welve inches apart, beginning at the top of he barn and filling it. When the barn is Wiled, which must be done on the day the ood is consumed, close the ventilators, tart a slow fire in the furnace and gradually aise the temperature to 90 0 or 95 0 Fah enheit. Hold the temperature at this heat or twelve hours, which will toughen the eaf, then advance the heat 20 an hour un il one hundred is reached. Again hold the emperature stationary for twelve hours, hen open ventilators and let the heat remain 6t 100 0 for six hours, when the sweat will >e sufficiently dried off and the tobacco will Pe sufficiently colored to again advance the eat. Then advance the heat 2X 0 per hour ttil 140 0 is reached in a sixteen-foot barn, and 150 0 is reached in a twenty-foot barn. lold at this temperature until the leaf is illed or cured, which will usually be in out twelve hours. Close ventilators now and advance at 24 0 o 5 0 per hour until 170 0 is reached, then told the ten p -rature until the stemsorstalks re cured, waueh will be about in eighty hours rom the time the barn was filled. Then open he doors and the ventilators and let the barn ool. When the tobacco becomes soft enough o fold the leaf so as not to break the small res in the leaf, then take the wires down, trip off the leaves and carry them to the >ack house and bulk it down, turning the ips of the leaves in and the butts out Care aust here be taken not to have the tobacco too high "case" whenitis taken down and ulked and that causes it to redden and old, 'which distracts materially from the 'alue of the tobacco. The same process of curing can be success ally followed in stalk curing. As stated ,efore, come of the large manufacturers irefer stalk cured tobacco. but there is no eason why careiul attention should not pro uce equally satisfactory results by curing rith the wire Drocess. Careful reflection d talks with Darlington and Florence ounty planters indicate decidedly that th the case. When tobacco is properly cured seems that it is evidently cured as well in ne of these ways as it is in the other, and he highest prices have been paid for wire ured tobacco during the past two seasons. talk curing can only be successfully done hen all the leaves ripen at the same time, d this may or may not be the case. For oime reason, the large manufacturerr some > them, at least, prefer the stoalr-cured to acco, and when a pln do so it would e well for him to a e the experiment for imsl and ~ 6comparative value of the vo pro ees. Let him remember, in either aset he cannot be too careful when he e~nees curing his tobacco. After the tobacco has been cured and pack d away or "bulked down" in the pack barn tshould rem'ain in this condition until it is ecided to sell it. When the planter decides o carry his tobacco to the warehouse for ale he should have everything carefully pre ared beforehand. While the tobacco is in he pack barn it should be carefully graded, ad this is not hard to learn. This is done y carefully assorting the leaves of uniform ize. color and texture in separate piles. 'hen the leaves must be tied up in "hands" f from six to twelve leaves in each hand. arranging or assorting these different rades it is important that each grade be kept eparate and distinct. The different grades ay be hung on the stick or may be bulked a the planter may prefer. It is not a diffi at process to grade tobacco properly, as e leaves that most resemble each other are .ot hard to get together. The colored hands ke to tobacco culture naturally, and seem o like it very much. In several instances mong the planters of Darlington and Flor ee counties colored men do the grading ntirely after having had some experience in urigg and bulkinz the tobacco. Tobacco isnot sold as is any other agricul ural product inSouth Carolina. A fter the armer has graded it he carries it to the earest and best warehouse. The proprietor neets him and his tobacco, along with any >ther that may have been carried to the ware touse that day, is placed in piles all ever the ioor, each pile belonging to a different own r. whose name is placed on it. When every bing -is ready the auctioneer comme~nces rork. the buyers gather around, and the live iest kind of bidding is seen. The namne of the tighest bidder and the number of pounds of obacco in each pile he buys is attached to a ard. and the sellers may accept or reject any id that is made. The auctioneer continues intil every lot has been sold, and after this Las been done the buyers and sellers get to ether for a settlement. It has been thoroughly and practically emonstrated that tobacco culture in South iarolina is a success. The planters of Dar ngton and Florence counties have estab shed this fact, and they have bad difficul ies in doing so. At no time has the work een easy, and at many stages it was most tiscouraging. There is n o ,do ub t hat great care must be taken in almost very detail of tobacco culture, but, on the ther.hand, there is no doubt but that great ewards are in store for those who make the ffort. It is, beyond question, the moneyed rp for South Carolina, and the fact that It equires great care and attention should only an incentive to ambitious planters. It well epays every effort bestowed upon it, and for hese very reasons it can never be a common rop. Small crops of five acres that were arefully attended to and properly cultivated Lave in several cases yielded much hand omer results than fifty acres planted in cot on. Let what was said in the first one of hese letters be repeated here, and this will xplain, it is hoped, once more why it is best o be careful. "Now common sense is worth ast as much in tobacco culture as it is any rhere else. These letters, it is hoped, have hewn why tobacco culture should be 'arefully dove, but they need excite no fears rith any farmer who is willing to take pains rith what he does. Use the right seed, han le carefully to keep the leaves from being ruised, kill the insects to save your tobacco, ure carefully and properly to get the mon y for your work, and the entire secret is be ore those who can and will make the test. ~harleston, S.

The New York Financier says of the past week: I A continuance of the boom in Wail street, which hrs surpassed the expectations of the most sanguine of bulls, has had some effect on the- statement made by the Associated Banks ot this city forthe week ending May 1th. Loans sini a healthy expansion of overt.CZvu0, bringing the total for two -giks above $8,000,000, with the chances decidedly in favor of a still heavier Increase before the spring season ends. But while the volume of loans Is growing money is also becoming more plentiful, as the increase of $10,834,700 In deposit and $3,836,525 in the total reserve shows This fact should not be lost sight ol in the general satisf action expressed over the reaction from the period of extreme dullness which has marked the past year. The demand foi money during the week just ended has been practically from the South, a number of banks having made loans at rates believed to be not far from 4 per cent. It would be Idle to claim that the country has throwt. off entirely the effects of the panic, but the revival in busIness, judg ing from the reports made by the New York banks, has been more than satisfactory, and is cause for general congratulations. Not less than $50,000,000 in American securities haegn oEurope this spring, and the de cln-nfrign exchange rates s the best p roof that the tide has turned in our favor. The banks which advanced the $30,000,000 in gold to aid the syndicate In its purchase of the last bond loan had 40 per cent. of the to tal returned to them last week, although the transfer, Involving at least $12,000,000, was not made in time to be reflected mn the cur rent bank statement.

Owing to exposure and hardships during the service, Mr Taylor con tracted chronie diarrheua, from which he han suffered now over thirty years. with absC lutely no help from physicians. By naturo he was a wonderfully vigorous man. Had he not been, his disease and the experiments of the doctors had killed him long ago. Laudanum was the only thing which afford ed him relief. He had terrible headaches, his nerves wore shattered,'he could not sleep an hour a day on an average, and he was re duced to a skeleton. A year ago he and his wife sought relief in a change of climate and removed to Geneva. Ohio; but the change in health came not. Finally, on the recom mendation of F. J. Hofiner, the leading drug gist of Ge..eva, who was cognizant of similar ases which Pink Pills had cured, Mr. Taylor was persuaded to try a box. "As a drowning man grasps a straw, so I took the pills," says Mr. Taylor. "but with no more hope of rescue. But after thirty years of suff&ring and fruitless search for relief I at last found it in Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. The day afteri took the first pills Icommrenced to feel better. and when I had taken the first box I was in fact a new man." That was two months ago. Mr. Taylor has since taken more of the pills and his prcgress is steady, and he has the utmost confidence in then'. He has regained full control of his ner ves and sleeps as well as in his youth'. Color is coming back to his parched veins and he is ;;aining flesh and strength rapidly. He is now able to do con siderable out door work.

"To the pills alone is due the credit of rais ing Mr. Taylor fromi a helpless invalid to the man he is tc-day." said Mrs. Taylor. Both Mr. and Mrs. Taylor~ cannot find words to ex press the gratitude they feel or recommend too highly Pink Pills to enff-ering humanity Any inquirits addrsssed to them at Geneva, ., regarding Mr. Taylor's case, they will cheerfully answer, as they are anxious that the whole world sball know what Pink PIlls have done for them and that suffering hu manity may he henellted thereby.
