SOURCE OF TOBACCO DUST. 



A dispatch to the Philadelphia North 

 American from St. Nicholas, Pa., says: 



"Thomas Speelman, who went to New 

 York a poor boy, is home on a visit. 

 While here he bought several farms and 

 endowed the town with a public library. 

 He is a rich man, all of his wealth hav- 

 ing been accumulated through his Christ- 

 mas present exchange. 



"Immediately after Christmas Mr. 

 Speelman sends his clients a letter noti- 

 fying them that he is ready to take their 

 Christmas presents either on a cash basis 

 or in exchange for other articles. 



"Mr. Speelman says that he annually 

 gets hundreds of boxes of cigars which 

 wives have given their husbands. These 

 are not returned to the market, but are 

 ground in the form of powder and sold 

 to florists for killing slugs." 



HARDY FERNS IN VERMONT. 



Vermont farmers are said by a paper 

 published in that state to have reaped an 

 unusually large harvest last fall from the 

 gathering of ferns in the woods for sale 

 to florists. That industry has been of 

 value to the people who live in the Berk- 

 shire hills of Massachusetts for several 

 years, and it has been broadening out of 

 late. The claim is made that the pickers 

 of the ferns can make at least $4 a day, 

 as they can pick 10,000 ferns and sell 

 them for 40 cents a thousand, when tied 

 up in bunches of twenty-five fronds each. 

 They are plentiful in the woods of New 

 England, where the ground has not been 

 disturbed for several years. Florists need 

 millions during the winter, and the sup- 

 ply is almost entirely obtained from the 

 fine growth of rock ferns or dagger ferns, 

 or sword ferns, as they are called in dif- 

 ferent localities. October and November 

 are the harvest months and the pickers 

 roam the woods anywhere, regardless of 

 the ownership. The business has not been 

 systematized so much as yet that the own- 

 ers of the forest lands put restrictions 

 on their premises. That may come in the 

 course of time, as it has already in the 

 blueberry pastures and the walnut and 

 chestnut groves of some localities. There 

 is a cash value to all these products of the 

 wilds that have been neglected for cen- 

 turies. 



St. Paul, Minn. — The trustee in the 

 bankruptcy case of Alfred W. Lemke has 

 filed his final account and the creditors 

 will have their final meeting at the office 

 of the referee February 3. 



Farmington, Mo. — M. Butterfield, 

 proprietor of the Farmington Nurseries, 

 grows an excellent quality of carnations, 

 including many 4-inch ones, and he thinks 

 his success is largely due to the high alti- 

 tude of this locality, the fine climate and 

 also the red soil, which is richly impreg- 

 nated with iron. Trade is good.
