Tobacco Ieaf reports the manufac
ture in this country during the fiscal
year ended June 30, 1905, of 7.C89,
337,i07 cigars, an lncreaso of 185,020,
437 over the output of the preceding
year. Our export traJe in tnese good 9
is quite Insignificant, and import trade
in foreign made cigars Is little more
than an Inconsiderable Incident. Our
population of males who may be re
garded as of "cigar age" Is probably
a little less than 24,000,000. Our do
mestic output was sufficient to sup-1
ply eac . one of these with about 320 1
smokes during the year. As the cen-l
sus returns do not Include statistics
of smokers and nonsmokers, it Is im
possible to carry ihe calculation be
yond Uot point.
The cigarette crop for the year was
3,3C8,212,740. an Increase of 141,530,
479 ovt-r 1904. We produced 21,131,-
8C1 pounds of snuff, an increase of
947,281 pounds. The output of smolf
Ing and chewing tobacco Increased
only about 2 per cent., from 328,650.-
710 pounds to 334,489,110 pounds. The
total value of all this Is not given, but
the figures of the smaller ostput of
that year are given by the census of
1900 as follows:
Tobacco, chewing, smoking
and snuff 10;-,754,362
Tobacco, cigars and cigar

Total $203,977,514
The development of this industry
is indicated by the census figures,
which show the value of the product
for 1880 as $116,772,631; for 1890 as
$193,536,862, and for 1900 as e203,97
514. The increase for last year will
certainly orlng the figures to more
than $300,000,000, which is a very pret
ty sum to spend for this form of com
bustlbles.
Comparen with our domestic trade,
our foreign commerce in the weed
amounts to little. Our total inipoitu
tlon last yera of tobacco in all Its
forms amounted to $22,145,846 and
our exportation to $37,123,514.
Estimating our consumption by
welgnt, it appears that we burned at
the shrine of our Laay Nicotine some'
thing like 300,000 tons of tobacco lust
year. New York Sun.

I knocked at the gate of my lord,
Success;

But he barred the gate lest I step

And we built us a home in the wil

A stranger is beating against our

Crying: "Let me in! It Is I, Sue

Newspaper Enterprise.
People do not appreciate the earnest
endeavor of the press to furnish news
quickly. Some wonderful examples
have been furnished in recent years
of quick publication of current events,
but none can excel a recent "scoop"
landed, by the Freeborn (la.) Courier.
It is self-explanatory:
"We came pretty near getting
scooped on an item this week, but if
it were not for the fact that we al
ways have our weather eye open, we
would have been left In the cold. Just
as we go to press Oscar 8anborn is
having three fingers cut off by
threshing machine. A doctor has been

Debts of Russia and japan.
Since the beginning of the war
Japan has Increased her debt from
about $290,000,000 to $981,000,000, but
of this amount she has on hand per
hnpH as much as $175,000,000 unex
pended. In the same time Russia
debt has Increased from 3.282,000,oni
to about $3,700,000,000. Japan wl
probably receive about $100,000,000
from Russia In payment for tho main
tenance of prisoners of war. and Rus
sla must also borrow money for he
Immediate needs at home. Japan
therefore, seems to come out of the
war in better financial conditions than
Russia, in spite of the latter country's
vastly greater resources.

Smoking Reform.
Snuil. imr la to lie reformed by lis
friends. A convention f P'p
smokers wns held In Helghim to com
but the abuse of tobacco. The best.
way to prevent, tho abuso of tobacco
Ih to smoke slowly. M. Kok, tho pres
ident. of the convention, Informed his
henrers that It. took him three hours
and seven nilmutes to get through
one pipe. It Is obvious that nt this
rate of going one could hardly smoke
more than four pipes a day. A pipe,
according to M. Kos, will out last three
hours if filled in a particular way
loosely, that la, at the bottom, firmly
in the middle, and again loosely at tho
top. "Further," said he, "you must give
up your wholo mind to the process.
Patience and determination make the
true smoker." M. Kos went on to af
firm that the object of the convention
strange as It might appear, was to
combat the abuse of tobacco. Thoso
who Bmoke slowly get the greatest
amount of pleasure out of their to
bacco, wbllo the nicotine is absorbed
