Back to the Indian Mutiny. The recent death of the son of Sir Henry Lawrence, the famous hero of the defence of Lucknow, carries the attention back to the days of the Sepoy Rebellion. One of the strangest incidents of that terrible time is told by William Forbes Mit- chell in his “Reminiscences of the Great Mutiny.” Mr. Mitchell, who was sergeant ofa Highland regiâ€" ment, had the misfortune, during a battle, to lose the greatcoat which every soldier carried folded in what was known as a “Crimean roll,” and strapped to the shoulders in such a manner that it crossed the breast. Many a man owed his‘life to the fact that bullets became spent in passing through these rolls. It hapâ€" pened that in the heat of the fight my roll was out right through where __._â€".>X¢ ‘ NOT THE SAME. “I .had half the young men in town for rivals when I wasdoing a courtship,” said the sad-eyed passenger. “And did you land the prize '2” queried the hardware drummer. “Well, I never lookedat it in that , light,” replied he of the sad eyes, “but I married the girl.” ’14 ' “INSIDE INFORMATION ABOUT CIGARS.” ' ' When you snip the head off your cigar, light your match and then leisurely tilt back in your swing chair, a pleasurable feeling comes to you as soon as the match is ap- plied to the end of the cigar, and if the cigar is a “Pharaoh” it will continue until you freluctantly the two ends were fastened together. throw away the sweet end. by the stroke of akeen-edged tul- war which was intended to cut me. As tne day was warm, I was rath- er glad to get rid of it, but by ten o’clock at night there was a differâ€" ence in temperature, and when I was relieved from patrol duty and wanted to lie down to sleep, I felt the cold. wet grass anything but comfortable, for a kilt is not the most suitable articlco. of dress on a. cold Nevember night in upper India. My company was encamped in and about the tomb of the first king of Oudh. A large enclosure surround- ed the building of the tomb itself, and on the inside of this were small rooms built for the accommodation of pilgrims. When I entered the en- closure I noticed these compartâ€" ments, and asked permission to sleep in one of them, but was refus- ed. I had to make the best of my position, but was too uncomfort- It struck me that some of the Se- poys might have dropped their blankets in their hurried departure. Vith this hope I went into some of the rooms where a lamp was burn- ing, took it off the shelf, and walked to the door of the great domed mos- que or tomb. I peered into‘ the dark, but could see nothing, so I advanced slowly, holding the lamp Over my head, looking cautiously round, until I was in the centre of the great vault, where my progress was obstructed by a big black heap,, about four or five feet high, which felt to my feet like loose sand. I lowered my lamp and discovered I was standing ankle-deep in loose gunâ€"powder. About forty hundredâ€" weight of it lay under my nose, and 9. hasty glance round showed me twenty or thirty barrels of the'same substance, over a hundred eight- inch shells all loaded and with fuses fixed, and a profusion of spare fuses and slow-matches lying about. I took in my danger at a glance. There I was, up to my knees nearly in gunpowder, with a naked light in my hand. My hair literally stood on end, and my knees knocked to- Cold perspiration broke out all over me. I had neither cloth nor handkerchief in my pocket with which to extinguish my light, and the next moment might be my last, for the overhanging wick already threatened to send the smoldering red top to my feet, with censor qucnces too dreadful to contem- Quick as thought I put my left Did it ever o'ccur to you, however, the amount of study and work nee~ essary. to produce a good cigar. We would advise you to visit a prom- inent factory the next time you have an opportunity and watch the- “modus operandi.” In the basement you will find the original bales or cases as they come from foreign countries. ‘ Then they go to the casing room where the bales are opened and the tobacco cased, or dipped in water, which requires an experienced man,- for if too much water is used on a very absorbent tobacco, it will not dry well; and if worked too fresh in a cigar the cigar is apt to pull hard and go soft while smoking. If not enough water is used on a dry type, the tobacco does not develop its best flavor; will break easily thus causmg waste. , The “hands” or “carots‘” are stood on-cthe‘ butt end in casing box ' for .24 hours, then shook out, sent to the next department where they remain '24 to 48 hom's, until the to bacco has absorbed all the water and becomes 'suple and silky. ‘It is then passed over to the strippers who take out the large middle stem. The class of tobacco that forms the inside of the cigar is now called “filllers” and is sent to the drying room where it is placed on clean smooth floors, spreading it about 6 inches thick, turning it twice a day' takes three to ,- five days. Some manufacturers dry on screens in a few hours very dry, and then spray, dump in a box, and let it draw back. , . . Payne claims that quick evapora- tion runs away with too much of the aroma and gum, and induces a. flatness to the taste, and if dried by steam or ncar'a fire a “smokey” taste develops, and the cigar is apt to burn the tongue. The fillers should away loosely for a weelcor more ,to cure, if a blend is being made the filler should be laid away four to eight weeks so that the cigars will run uniform, if laid away to dry they won’t blend, if too moist they may go mouldy. a constant watch must be maintained. V Eventually the fillers are given over to the cigar makers, and here the cigar can be easily spoiled, generally by the workman placing some pieces crosswise, or by roll- ing too tightly, because the finest tobacco ever placed in a cigar will taste fiat if the cigar does not pull easily. When finished the cigars are laid away in humidors for at least 24 now be laid 01" .â€" nvnur or 10,000 YEARS AGO CAUGHT BY THE CAMERA. _ Photographed by Russ-lull Scientists â€"IIi(le,_-and Skeleton in St. Pctersburg. The, Imperial Russian Academy sent an expedition from St. Petersâ€" burg in February last to themouth of the Yana River, Siberia, to se- cure the body of a mammoth that had been found there months before. Some of the earth covering the huge body had caved away, disclos- ing the buried monster. The disâ€" coverers knew that mammoth skele- tons were very highly prized in several earth again~ lest harm should belâ€"_ fall their prize. Then they noti~ fled the Russian authorities andthe scientific ed.

Very carefully the earth was .‘dug away from all sides till’the en- tire animal was brought into view , just as it was when it perished in the quagmire ages ago. THE EARTH OF THE SWAMP in which the body rested became the pedestal on which the carcase lay as the dirt was dug away. It was frozen as hard as a rock. Then the photograph was taken. Few pictures so. curious have ever been made. ' ‘ It shows. the perfect body of a huge animal whose family became extinct many‘ thousands of years ago. Not ‘a",_'sign could be?" found that the animal had ever received corporal injury.

Still the mammoth is a recent animal, measured by geological time, for it evidently lived after the ice age and was ‘contemporanei 0115 with prehistoric man.

The parts of this specimen that were taken to St. Pctersburg we're the hide and skeleton. Skilled men were there to strip the fur-covered ton to pieces and pack it: au'ay.SO. that nothing fhould be lost. .7 ‘ No sledge "could carry the whole hide, and it was skilfully cut up so that it might be pieced :together again without sign of patchwork. Then the boxes containing the re- lics were carried on sledges hun- dreds of miles westward to the Lena River over the tundra snows that lingered till almost _ no. The hardest of the mark was then over, for a steamer carried the box- es up the Lena to 'Irkutsk and wagons transferred them to the train for St. Petersburg. At the museum in that city the huge skeleâ€" ton was wired together, the hide was put in place, and the most per-_ feet specimen of a mammoth yet exhibited to the public is now be- ing viewed by thousands at that capital.

It has been suggested that the big game of Africa should be syste- matically exterminath in order to abolish the “fly fever” by destroy- ing the principal means of nourish~ ment of the tsetse. In regard to this suggestion, Sir David Bruce says that while it is true that the tsetse disappears when the big game is killed off, there are other African diseases similar to the fly disease which are not spread by the tsetse. Although “civilization and big game cannot exist toâ€" gether,” he thinks that the proposâ€" ed wholesale destruction all over Africa would be quite unjustifiable. As the new country is divided off into farms, the big game must go, but the process should be a gradu- al one, applied only as the exigent cies demand. For at least a thou4 sand years to come there ought to be room in Africa for big game reâ€" . f I I H mm...) n.-_~__.._._wmma ) a.»-/ ‘mm ' _.~_-_-- -v'v' v v 'vvw-Vv>v Vvvvvv v ‘ L M :~._ max!» u- LXZRWTGNMWâ€"v-e-vr‘hw . skin from the body, take the ihand under the down-dropping flame, and claspiug it firmly, slowly turned to the door.
