Texas Tobacco.
From Cuba and the Philippine
islands has come in the past a
large amount of the tobacco con-
sumed in the world. The United
States Brazil Java Sumatra

duced all the balance. The island

and in the meantime other coun-
tries will benefit from her misfor-
tunes. Even if Cuba does pros-
per iu the years to come it will bo
difficult for her to again turn the
tide of trade in her direction as
it will have been diverted into
new and permanent channels.
The Texas Stock Journal in dis-
cussing this question believes
that Texas can be made a great
tobacco state inasmuch as she
possesses all kind of soil and
climate and in many places can
the identical combinations of the
same be found which produce well
known and highly prized varieties

Famous Old Temple Bar.
Old Temple bar! What visions
the name calls up of mediaeval
London when that time-worn mon-
anient was one of the great city's
outmost gates: What memories of
traitors' heads grinning upon busy
Fleet street. What dreams of
royal pageants 'prentice riots and
the myriad scenes and incidents
which came to pass under the
Temple bar of olden days

ing street beyond one sees a trim
carriage road winding in and out
between giant trees trees which
stood in the days when Henry

Temple bar religiously restored
and embowered in 'trees can not
fail to remind the thoughtful of

the quiet couutry to spend his last
days in peace.
American visitors are always
welcome at Theobald's but few of
them know of Temple bar's retreat
or the quaint beauty of the Meux
manor house. In the crate lodee
dwells
the gatekeeper an old
man who began life as son of a
lempie Dar caretaker and who
has followed the bar ever since.
