About Cigar Boxes.
“There are something like 14,000.-
000 cigar boxes used in the United
States annually, and about nine-tenths
of that number are made in this city,
where the trade rivals the clothing in
dustry in point of capital invested,
and the number of people employed,
said a leading cigar box manufactu.er
in New York to the writer yesterday.
“The material out of which the best
boxes are made comes principally
from Cuba, and is known as Spanish
cedar. The recent war with Spain
has shortened the supply and increas
ed the price of the article to such an
extent that many box makers whose
stock of cedar was small early last
spring have been compelled to use a
cheaper and less desirable grade of
wood for the purpose.
“One New York firm has been ex
perimenting with timber from the un
explored Paraguayan forests, which
are said to contain the finest cedar
wood in the world. They have how
ever, experienced considerable diffi
culty in selling their boxes, as cigar
manufacturers and connoisseurs insist
that it spoils a fine cigar to put it in
any box not made of genuine Spanish
cedar. The latter wood always re
tains the flavor of a good cigar. In
deed some people claim that it im
proves the flavor. The reason given
is that it grows in the same localities
3,s the best Havana tobacco.
“Attempts made to use cedar grown
in this country for cigar boxes have
not been very successful. The Hon
da and South Carolina cedar contains
a peculiar gum that niel when tne
there were a great many. His whole transaction
' •was fair, buahiess-like and satisfactory.
Respectfully, A. W. MUSE.

wood is exposed to the heat of the
store or house, and thus the labels
and sometimes the cigars in a foox are
spoilt. Of course the smokers of
cheaper brands of cigars are less par
ticular about the quality of the wood
used for their boxes, and a veneered
cedar, made from a peculiar sort of
cedar that grows in Mexico, is often
substituted for the Spanist article.
But it cannot be done without the
cigar dealers finding it out, and the
consequence is that even a good cigar
when packed in such a box sells at a
disadvantage.—Washington Star.

RAILWAYS IN SPAIN.
o
Both the railroad and telegraph
system of Spain are in a very unsatisfac
tory condition and give rise to many
complaints, especially among foreign
ers, and they are both examples of
the pernicious methods which run
all through Spanish affairs. The
railway system ot Spain comprises
about 7,500 miles of road, built par
tially from private capital and partly
from the proceeds of government sub
sidies, which, up to the present time,
amount to more than $200,000,00a
Most of the roads were constructed
under the supervision of the French
and Engineers and the securities
have been gradually absorbed by the
French investors.
The speed of the trains is very low.
The express trains run on only a few j
of the lines and even the •*ti*wns de
lux,’’ which run only first-class car- j
riages, with the tare raised 50 per
cent- seldom run faster than 'twenty
five miles an hour, while tlie ordinary
trains never attain a speed of more
than fifteen miles an hour, and are
often behind time, especially in the
southern part of Spain. Tourists us
ually select the first-class carriages,
which are fitted up Si be those in
France, but they are by mo means as
comfortable and clean -as they should
be, and on tire maim roads they are
often overcrowded. The number of
seats is six <©r eight, and some of
these are often ■oocuipied by the con-
ductors of the train and even railway
laborers, who ■scramble into the train
between stations, munch to the disgust
of the passengers. IBverv train is
supposed to have a .first class com
partment 'reserved Tor ladies and
another for those who do not smoke,
but the latter injunction is seldom
heeded by’the Spanish travelers; but
this is am <evil which is by no means
limited to Spain, lor in Holland it is
almost impossible fo qirevent travelers
from sictoking in every compartment.
The second class carriages on the
Spanish railways have narrow and un
comfortable seats (for ten persons and
are generally dirty and neglected.
The third-class icarriages are, of
course, impossible for foreigners, and
they have sometimes seats on the
roof, which are used exclusively by
the lower .classes.
In the winter tthe carriages are
heated 'by foot-waitmers. At nearly
all railway junctions there are restau
rants. but those who prefer tc eat in
a more (leisurely -manner provide
themselves-with food to consume in
the railway carriages, but in this case
the Spanish custom -demands the for
mality of asking your fellow passenger
to share the meal wiriii your
At 'the larger stations the luggage
office closes a quarter<of an hour be
fore the departure of the train; so this
necessitates the traveler being on
hand much before the proper time.
In some cases there ate no waiting
rooms, and when there aie, passen
gers are not not allowed t.) enter
either the waking rooms -or platforms
unless they have their railway tickets.
The railway officials have not seen fit
to pay much attention to issuing re
turn tickets, which are sudh a source
of revenue in Italy and other coun
tries. Such tickets are only available
for one rsr two days and are issued on
a lew limes -only; and the reductions
in the fare is generally insignificant.
Circular tour ticket* are -not-unknown
but these tickets for combined tours
in France and Spain have been dis
continued, owing to the of
Spanish currency.— Scientific Aitraeri

Our Flag the Oldest.
It is not generally known that the
Star Spangled Banner of the United
States is older than any one of the
present flags of the great European
powers. It was adopted in 1777 by
the thirteen colonies of North Ameri
ca, then at war with the mother coun
try. The yellow and red Spanish
flag came out in 17X5: the French
tri color was adopted in 1794; the red
English emblem, with the union jack
in the upper corner, dates from 1801;
the Sardinian (now the Italian) flag
first fluttered in 1848; the Austro-
Hungarian flag was one of the conse
quences of the compromise of 1867;
the present German flag first appear
ed in 1872. and *he Russian tri color
is quite a recent affair.
The only modification that the
American flag has undergone since its
origin consists in the addition of a
new star every time anew state is
taken into the Union. The stars
now number fortyfive, and unfortun
ateiy for Spain, it is more than likely
that they have not yet come to the
end of their multiplication.—Paris

JUST LIKE MAMMA.
o
£ fe; ITSAN is just a little bit of a
WMi) tot, -seven maybe, though she
look to he more than
five. She lives im a big boaul
ing house 'Ufli on High -street. Susan
hasn't many friends, and as her moth
er is away aSmost every day attending
to her social duties the child has been
forced to 'depend upon herself for the
greater -shape of her amusement.
She is iu *c.lever dhild: nothing of a
prodigy, but just smart. You know
the kind. She has passed her
time this summer 'dressing and un
dressing her one doll and wheeling it
to the 'comer and Lack in a tiny per
ambulator. Though she has no play
mates she is as happy as a lark all
day long, and no 'one in the house
has ever heard her cry.
Susan <is an astonishing mimic. She
mimicked 'her grandmother until the
latter caright sight -of the performance
one day aiwd fold her never to do it
again. Then she turned to the rag
man and 'the garbage man with an
imitation of a street piano grinder
thrown in now and then for good
measure.
Though many times and oft she
has given -entertainments of acting
for the benefit of her doll that have
been astankhingly accurate and ar
tistic withal, her best performance
was offered yesterday afternoon when,
all alone in her little rocking chair on
the front porch, she “played at re
ceiving calls.”
She rocked quietly for awhile, then
rose from the chair and bowed to the
imaginary person who was ascending
the porch steps. Then she talked.
It was only one side of a conversa
tion, of course, but so startlingly real
istic was the acting that it seemed as
though the child must have been
talking to someone.
She extended her hand and shook
the imaginary one offered her. Then
she said, “Won’t you sit down?” Her
side of that poiite conversation was
as follows: “Hasn’t it been warm
for the past three days? Do you
think so? Mercy. I hope not. You
don’t tell me. How long ago was
that? Wasn’t it very unusual? Well,
1 should think so. He’s doing nicely
thank you. Yes, I think it is perfectly
beautiful. How well the skirt hangs.
Did Miss Jones make it for you?
I've had her make all my clothes for
over a year. Yes. She is so origin
at. You've been well, I hope. Isn't
that nice. How long will you be
gone? Oh, indeed. Won’t that be
lovely? Oh, don’t leave so soon,
you have hardly sat down. Must
you go? I’m so sorry. Here's your
parasol, you will run in again, won't
you? Yes, I will thanks. Bring
Jamie next time you come,
won’t you? Good-bye. Yes; isn't
it? Good-bye. Is that so? Good
bye. You don't tell me. Good-bye.
Now be sure and come again. Good
bye.”
Ami when the imaginary caller had
gone down the stej s, Susan dropped
into her little rocking chair and ex
claimed with a sigh, “Oh, I <1 rathir
do a week's washing than talk to that
woman ten minutes.'

PLOW POINTS:
The farm is as much a place of
business as a store or factory, and the
farmer who does not keep books
knows less in regard to his operations
than he supposes. The farmer who
would deposit a sum of money in
bank and keep no account of it,
knowing also that the bank keeps no
account of the transaction, would be
considered unwise, yet there are hun
dreds of farmers who do not know
the exact quantity of milk given by
their cows, or its percentage of fat,
and they have no book account of
the receipts and expenses. As milk
at the creameries is now paid for ac
cording to its proportion of butter
j fat contained, the farmer should
know which of his cows excel in qual
ity of milk, the kind of food most
suitable for each cow, and how often
the cows vary in quantity oi nv.lk.
There are a great many facts to learn
! regarding the daily management of
j cows, but it is impossible to become
j familiar with all the necessary details
| unless books are kept. Strict busi
ness methods in every department on
the farm will enable the farmer to
! discover all leaks or losses and enable
him to economize and make larger
profits.
All attempts to save blighted pear
trees will be useless unless the diseas
ed limbs are removed, and the knife
or other tool used for such purpose
should be disinfected every time a
a limb or branch is cut, as the blight
can be transferred from one portion
of a tree to another by the instru
ments used in the work.
Flies and mosquitoes deprive the
cattle and horses of rest, and every
stable should have wire mesh over
the windows. The matter ol ventila
tion of the stable is a serious problem
to farmers. There must be plenty of
fresh air but no draughts, and the
animals should be protected from in
sects. If the stalls are kept clean the
liability of exposure to amoniacal
odors will be reduced, and a window
at each end of the stable so regulated
as to be closed according to the di
rection of the wind, will enable the
farmer to ventilate without undue
exjiosune of the animals. Ventilators
at the roof sometimes cause cold
draughts to come in and are conse
quently unsafe.
'File home mixing of fertilizers is
not a matter of difficulty. A tight
barn floor, platform scales, screen,
shovel and hoe, comprise the whole
necessary outfit. The materials are
first weighed, screened and the lumps
pulverized. Then the most bulky
material, usually the acid phosphate,
is spread in an oblong pile from six
to twelve inches djep. Upon its
leveled top are placed one above
another the other ingredients, the re
sulting pile resembling a layer cake.
The pile is then mixed bv a careful
shoveling, the shovel cutting down
through ail layers each time. The
pile is then leveled again and the
operation thrice repeated. The mix
ture may then be screened again if
desired.—Hartford Times.
Dealers who buy hogs prefer them
to weigh not over 200 pounds. The
fall pigs pay well if they are sold
when about 150 pounds weight, but
fall pigs should not be farrowed later
than September, as they 3re liable to
be retarded by a severe winter unless
well sheltered. Spring pigs should
be large enough for market before
winter settles in, and to make them
grow give bran and skim milk, omit
ting corn or meal from the ration
until the weather becomes cold.
After corn has filled out it may be
of advantage to allow sheep to forage
in the field. Reports from farmers
who have tried the are that
sheep clean out the weeds better
than cultivation. Sheep prefer short
grass or weeds, and will not damage
the corn if there is plenty of material
close to the ground, and as they con
sume many undesirable weeds and
grasses will benefit the land and rid
the farmer of labor.
