Spoke Advisedly.

The two friends were passing a great red brick building on which was painted tbe sign in letters a yard long, “J. G. Briggs & Co., Tobacco Manufacturers.” “That’s claiming a good deal,” said one of the men. “Tobacco grows. How can anybody manufacture It?” "That sign Is all right,” said the other. “The tobacco they turn out here is manufactured. I know how they make it.” And perhaps if everybody knew exactly how “plug” tobacco Is made, and all tbe Ingredients that enter Into Its composition, there might be many who would admit that It Is “manufactured.”
