CIGARS AND CIGAR SMOKERS.
The Views of a Tobacconist on the
Peculiarities of Smokers.
New York Star.
sir.” said a prominent tobac
conist to a reporter who had gone in to
refresh himself with a cigai, m\ busi
ness is a peculiar, one but it has its
charms. ^ ou may not know it, but I
am a great reader of human character,
and this business above all is, in my
opinion, the best place to pi act ice in.
The moment I see a man I can gener
ally tell the kind of cigar he wants, and
sometimes I sell fifty persons without
asking them a question.”
”I)o you think cigars are made better
now than ever before?” inquired the
reporter.
“Well, I can’t say that, exactly,” he
answered, “but if you limit your re
marks to the cigars I will say yes, but
if your question includes all brands it
is too diflicult for me to answer.”
, “What are the prices of good cigars?”
asked the scribe.
“Anywhere from $50 to $100 a thous
and, and you can get a cigar such as are
used in shooting galleries for prizes for
$5 a thousand.”
“Do you mean to say you can get ci
gars for $5—made of tobacco?” queried
the reporter.
“Undoubtedly,” he answered. “The
tobacco comes mostly from Pennsyl
vania. It is not properly cured, of
course, and there are many stems in it,
but it is tobacco for all that.”
“What brand of cigars has the great
est run?”
“None, in my opinion; the populari
ty of several brands continually fluctu
ates. I have noticed that when a man
is pleased with a cigar lie’ll run it out.
I mean by that lie will smoke so many
that he will become disgusted with the
brand.”
“Who is the greatest smoker you
know of ?” asked the reporter.
“Well, during the famous star route
trial I used to think Brady was. lie
would come in seven or eight times a
day to get cigars, and they were the
best, I can tell you. There is a man
living at Mt. Pleasant, however, who
smokes all the time. I mean by that
lie is never seen without a cigar in his
mouth.”
“Do you ever try and deceive cus
tomers on brands of cigars?” asked the
reporter.
“Indeed, I do. It’s part of the busi
ness, and perfectly legitimate. For
instance, you come and ask for a pecu
liar brand, but only in a strong cigar.
You won’t have it. What must I do ?
Lose a sale and probably a customer?
No, sir; I simply substitute a cigar of
like grade, and as near the shape call
ed for as possible, aud the customer
goes of contented.”
“Speaking of cigars,” continued the
cigar man, “there used to be a colored
man that hung around the store a good
deal and beg for cigars. It was just a
year ago. The races' * 1 *were here, and
some of the sports determined to lix
a cigar and give it to him. Accordingly
a double-sized or ‘king’ fire-cracker
was procured and carefully wrapped
around with the tobacco until it assum
ed the shape of an innocent cigar. I
placed it in the case where it could eas
ily be found and anxiously awaited de
velopments. It was about 10 o’clock
in the evening when the boys arrived
and found the beggar, or ‘cigar beat’ as
they dubbed him, reposing on a box of
chewing tobacco, in the corner. On
entering the man stirred himself and
moved up toward the case, with a ‘Say,
boss, gimme a cigar.” Ilis request was
complied with. The cigar was lighted
and all were on the qui nive. At first
the joke didn’t look like a success, when
sis-z-z-z! crack! bang! the cigar was
blown in every direction, and the man
stood trembling, his eyes bulged out
and his teeth clenched. Ilis voice has
never resounded in this house since.
He takes the other side of the street
when he passes here and never looks
in. His mania for cigars still continues,
however, but I understand he proves
every one before trying it.”
“Do cigarettes still continue in pop
ular favor?” the reporter.
“When I say that where we used to
order 25,000 cigarettes, 100,000 now is
the only number we ever think of buy
ing, that answers your question. What
has advanced them in favor? Adveiv
tising has done it all. These Hags,
representatives of every nation, pic
tures of prominent people and actress
es, coats-of-arms of different nations,
etc., have done it.”
“There is no doubt, is there, that
cigarettes are injurious?” asked the
re porter?
“In my opinion, no,” answered the
cigar man. “They make you nervous,
and'often produce a watery appearance
in the eyes, and sometimes cause tem
porary insanity. Several persons well-
known in society life here at the capi
tal have suffered in this way.”
“Oh, yes; I understand all that, my
son. I have heard much of that before.
You mourn and grieve over the lack of
true womanhood among the girls of
your acquaintance.
“Mere butterflies of fashion, you say,
who can ra'ttle the keys of the piano,
dance like fairies, chatter nonsense and
society nothings by the hour, but for
their lives cannot boil a potatoj roast a
joint, wash a collar, or make a shirt.
“You say you demand the noblest
type of womanhood in your wife, and
you want to know where you can find
the wife you want. Well, I will tell
you, my dear boy. If that is the sort of
woman you want, marry Nora Mulligan,
your laundress’ daughter. She wears
thick boots. Is guiltless of corsets, never
had a sick day in her life, takes in wash
ing, does house-cleaning, and cooks fora
family of seven children, her mother
and three men who board with her.

A Lightning Plug.
New York Graphic.
Down on the docks the other day
they were talking about a schooner
that had been struck by lightning on
Lake Erie, when the reporter singled
out an old bald-head and said:
“Capt. H , it seems to me I’ve
read or heard of your brig being
struck.”
“Yes, she was,” answered the old
fabricator, after taking time to outline
the lie he was to tell.
“Where was it ?”
“Off Point Aux Barques about fif
teen years ago. Very strange case
that. Probably the only one of the
kind ever heard of.”
“Give us the particulars.”
“Well, we were jogging along down
when a thunderstorm overtook us, and
the very first flash of lightning struck
the deck amidships and bored a hole as
big as my leg right down through the
because Con Regan, the navvy, is her bottom of the vessel.”
style of a man. She is the useful sort
of woman you appear to want; but I
don’t think she would look at you
twice.
“Let us just examine into your
qualifications as a model husband, after
your own matrimonial idea?, my boy.
Can you shoulder a barrel of flour and
carry it down to the cellar? Can you
split up wood and fetch up coals in the
winter? Telemachus, those twenty-
three inches of coat padded out over
your sixteen inches of shoulders won’t
help you a bit.
“Do you know, my son—look me in
the eye—do you know how to plan the
carpet, and square up the paper of the
rooms? Do you know how to watch the
shoeing of your own horse—if you drive
one? Can you dig up half an acre of
ground for a kitchen garden? Do you
know what will take the limy taste out
of the new cistern? Can you patch the
little leak when the snow comes in at
the kitchen roof? What would you do
if the chimney gets choked up? If the
front door binds at the top? What if a
mortise lock gets out of order? If an
extra shelf is wanted in the pantry?
Can you make two or three tree-boxes
for the trees about the garden—if you
know how to plant them? Can you do
all about the house that Con Regan
can ? My dear boy, you see why Nora
Mulligan will have none of you.
“You expect to hire men to do all the
man’s work about your house, but you
want your wife to do everything that
any woman can do. Believe me, my
dear son, nine-tenths of the girls who
play the piano and sing so charmingly,
who you in your limited knowledge set
them down as mere butter-flies of fash
ion, are better fitted for wives than you
are for a husband.
“The girls know more about these
things than you do. If you want to marry
a first-class cook and experienced house
keeper, do your courting in the registry
office. But if you want a wife marry
the girl you love, with dimpled hands
and a face like the sunlight, and her
love will teach her all these things, my
boy, long before you have learned one
half of your own lesson.”
“And she foundered, of course !”
“No sir. The water began rushing
in, and she would have foundered, but
there came a second flash and a bolt
struck my fore-to’-gallant mast. It
was cut off near the cap, turned bot
tom end up, and as it came down en
tered the hole and plugged it up as
tight as a drum. When we got down
to the dry dock we simply sawed off
either end and left the plug in the
planks.”
“Did you ever swear to that, Cap
tain ?”
“I did, but it was before a notary
who afterward went crazy, and I have
never been quite satisfied. Is there a
notary among us ?”
There was none, and while the re
porter was out looking for an official of
that sort the old liars took a drink and
scattered for the day.

Methodist Nuns.
New York Sun.
Methodist nuns are to be a novelty in
feminine experience. They were crea
ted by the Methodist General Confer
ence, after a careful consideration of the
committee on missions. The committee
reported favorably, and the conference
inserted in the discipline of the church
a section regulating them. They are to
be called deaconesses, and they will be
very similar to the nuns of the Roman
Catholic church, except they are not
to take vows of life service or of celib
acy. Every annual conference in
which these deaconesses are establish
ed will have a board of nine members
to control this kind of work. Nothing
more definite than that was done by
the conference, hut the impression is
that the Methodist nuns will wear dis
tinctive costumes and live in houses by
themselves. They will minister to the
poor and the sick, care for orphans and
do other works of charity.
They will be required to serve a pro
bation of continual service for years
before being made deaconesses, and
they will have to be at least 25 years of
age. It has long been the desire of
Rev. Dr. Dix, of Trinity, to have such
duties performed by regular orders of
women, and he succeeded some time
agb in forming an organization of Epis
copalian nuns, but they have not been
formally indorsed by the denomina
tion, and so the Methodists are the
first Protestant church in America to
attempt the recruiting and uniforming
of religions sisters. The first of these
deaconesses will be very likely to be
seen in Chicago, where there is already
an informal organization of a similar
character; but it is believed in all the
large cities, within a year, there will
be established probationary classes. As
two years’ service will be required be
fore any woman may become a deacon
ess, there must ensue that amount of
delay, but the work and costuming of
devotees may begin at once.
“And what costumes will the deacon
esses wear?” was asked of nearly ev
ery member of the committee respon
sible for their creation.
No definite answer could be obtained.
Indeed, the reverend gentlemen did
not seem to have considered that mat
ter particularly, though it will be quick
to come to the front when the order
becomes really existent. Naturally, a
sober garb will be chosen, but how
nearly it will approach the disfigure
ment deemed essential in the Catholic
church, as a destructive agency for
feminine pride, remains to he seen.
Why Attend Church ?
1. It helps ourselves. The church
services give vigor to the best thoughts
and purposes, strengthens our integri
ty, develop and solidify right character,
and feed the moral and religious part
of our nature. We cannot afford to
lose the sweetening and strengthening
influences for a single week.
2. It helps the minister. Nothing
is more disheartening to a minister
than simple neglect. What sense is
there in preparing a message for those
who do not come to hear it? How can
lie preach witli vigor to empty pews?
The dullness of any service is often to
be laid to the account of the absent
ones.
3. A church lives on the devotion of
its friends- Nowhere is this devotion
so plainly shown, so quickly felt or so
plainly seen-, as in the attendance of
members on the Lord’s day—every
one in their, place—and the church
rejoices in a consciousness of strength
and vitality, and goes forth with zeal
and power to all its appointed work.
With half the seats vacant there comes
depression and the church sinks- into
inaction. A live church helps the eom-
munity. The moral tone of any com
munity depends largely on its churches.
If the friends of the church will attend,
strangers will be sure to do so.

west Missouri to California last spring,

THE WORLD CHALLENGED.
To produce anything like an approach to our now justly celebrated Blood Remedy, B. B. B., we make bold to
claim the followingspecial points of value and advantage over any other remedy on the market: 1. That it consists
of the most valuable remedies known to the medical profession. 2. That the combination of the remedies has never
been equaled in any medicine that lias ever been known. 3. Its beneficial results can be felt sooner than by the use of
any other remedy:- 4. It takes'less quantity and less money to produce a cure than any other remedy. We are
willing for B. B. Bt to stand on its own merits, and as our words are unnecessary in proving its efficiency as a blood
remedy, we simply invite a careful perusal of the following voluntary certificates from the thousands who have tried it.
They are eloquent tributes, and speak for themselves. To the skeptical, we would further say : Inquire of your
neighbor who lias tried our great remedy; Here are the certificates :
A REMARKABLE LETTER.
Down Two Years With Rheumatism
and Now Entirely Well.
I have been troubled with’ rheumatism for
two years; had gotten so I could scarcely
walk, and was in pain neatiy all the time. At
night could not sleep for the excruciating
pain. The bone in one of my legs was very
much enlarged, and I feared that amputation
would be necessary. After trying many dii-
ferent patent medicines claiming to cure
rheumatism and other complaints, 1 was al
most discouraged until about; two weeks ago,
when I had to give up business, Mr. AV. J.
Willingham, of your city, hearing of iny com
plaint, advised the use of your medicine, and
assured me of his confidence in. it as a cure
for rheumatism. I at once purchased a bot
tle, hoping it might relieve me, but not having
much faitli in it, or in anything else; but,
thank God, I am very muom relieved, and I
firmly believe I will get entirely well. The
swelling has gone down and I am in no pain
whatever. Am at work agfiin, and h&ve been
for several days. Can run up and down the
stairwav in factory as nimbly as- ever. I
thank you for this earthly salvation to me.
I write without your solicitation, or any
knowledge of you, except through your med
icine. I write because I feel grateful Tor what
has been done for me. I am yours, very
truly, W..A. Mooes,
Foreman for Willingham Lumber Co.,
Chattanooga, Tenn.
If any one should doubt as to say being
cured, or as to my statements, I refer them to
the firm I am with and have been with for
many years: Mr Phillip Young, of Chatta
nooga; Mr. Hamilton, foreman of carpentry,
with W. L. & Co., Chattanooga ;: Dr. Acre, of

Sir: I have been thinking of writing to you

ful cure your B. B. B. has effected on myself
and daughter. She, a girl of 1G years, was
taken with a very sore leg below the knee. I
us id about 38> bottles of other medicine to no
purpose. The doctors said the only remedy
left was ampcutation. That we all were op
posed to. I was in Knoxville the 8th of Jan
uary, .1887, and while buying a bill of drugs
called for a good blood purifier, and Messrs.
Sanford, Chamberland it Co. recommended
the Bi B. B. I purchased one-half dozen bot
tles, aud, to my utter surprise, after using
three or four bottles, my giri’s leg was entire
ly well. I also-had a very ugly running sore
on she calf ol my leg and one bottle cured it,
after trying alS other remedies. I wish you
much-success, and Ido hope that all suffering
humanity may hear and believe in the only
true blood purifier. I have tried three or four
blood purifiers, but the B.B.B. is the only one
that ever did me- or mine any good. You can

A lady frie-nd of mine bars- for several years

face and neek, for which she used various
cosmetics in order to remove thefft and beau

local applications were only temporary and

I recommended an internal application—
known as Botanic Blood Balm—wnich Z have

have disappeared, her skin is soft and smooth
and her general health much improved. She
expresses herself as well satisfied and can

“I GAVE UP TO DIE.”
Knoxville, Tenn., July 2, 1887.
I have had latarrh of the head for nearly
six years. I went to a noted doctor and lie
treated me ivr it, hut could not cure me, he
said. I was- over fifty years of age and I gave
up to die. 2 had a distressing cough; my
eyes were swollen and I am confident I could
not have lived without a change. I sent and
got a bottle of your medicine, used it, and
felt bett-c?-. Then I got four more, and thank
God! it cured me. Use this any way you
may wisa. for the good of sufferers.

TRIED FIVE DOCTORS.
Hawkinsville, Ga., Feb. 26, Igg7.
This is to certify that my wife has been in
bad health for eight years. After trying five
doctors and six or seven different patent
medicines, six bottles of your B. B. B. has
cured her. James W. Lancaster.
Alapaha, Ga., June 22, 1887.—B. B. B.
Company, Atlanta, Ga.—Gentlemen : I had
suffered from that terrible disease, dyspepsia
for over fifteen, years, and during that
time tried everything I could hear of, and
spent over three hundred dollars in doctor’s
bills, without receiving the slightest benefit,
Indeed. I continued to grow worse. Finally,
after I despaired of obtaining relief, a friend
recommended B, B. B., (Botanic Blood Balm)
and I began using it; not, however, expecting
to be benefited. After using half a bottle I
was satisfied I was being benefited, and when
the sixth bottle was used I felt like a new
man. I would not take $1,990 for the good it
has done me; in fact-, the relief that I derived
from it is priceless. I firmly believe I would
have dieu had I not taken it.
Respectfully, THOMAS PAULK.
