THE HOME OF THE HAVANA.
Some of the Secrets of the Great Indus
try of Cuba—The Status of the Cigar
makers.
“There in no country so eminently
qualified to satisfy the desideratum of
the smoker,” sa d an old tobacco mer
chant, who has spent his best years
in the West Indies, “as the island of
Cuba. Not only are the finest species
a of the tobacco plant from there, but
U also a superior woody fiber for bund-
ling and cedar wood for boxing, which
so materially contribute to improve
cigars.”
The manufacture of cigars in Havana
is carried on with more care, skill and
thoroughness than in any part of the
world. It is greatly to this circum
stance that the finer aroma and flavor
of cigars made there are due. Natural
differences in the various kinds of
tobacco and climatic causes, of course,
have much to do with this super or
aroma and flavor; but, even if other
countries had the Havana plant, they
could not produce the same excellent
cigars. One reason why cigarmakers
in Cuba are more skillful is because
they confine themselves to one brand
only. The cigars are made with such
exactitude and perfection that they
appear to have been molded. Not the
smallest stem or rib is allowed to show
in any one of the four or five layers
of Havana used. The genuine Havana
has a fragrance, apart from that
which the quality of the leaf and care
ful seasoning imparts, which must be
attributed to the modus operandi of
the cigar-maker and the methods of
manufacturing. Our favorite brand
is manufactured immediately after
the plant has gone through
the process of fermentation,
and while the leaf is almost color
less. Some people think that fresh to
bacco is more easily handled, because
it is softer and more elastic, but in re
ality thisws not so. Most kinds of to
bacco in Havana must be immersed in
water before they can be worked. Cel
lars are unknown there, and, in conse
quence, tobacco becomes drier by heat
and draughts than in other countries.
Havana tobacco undergoes fermenta
tion twice, first when it is laid up in
heaps, and again when it is packed in
bales. The stronger and heavier kinds
require a seasoning of eight months be
fore they attain sticn a decree of color
ing that they can be used. If the leaves
are worked much earlier they yield
principally third-class cigars.
The Cuban cigar-makers are mainly
colored people, although many crnoles
and Spanish emigrants engage in the
trade. The cigar-makers form the
roughest and most miserable part of
the population of Havana. Their con
duct is regulated by the good or poor
yield of the tobacco crop. It' the yield
is good and abundant there is hardly
any way to manage the men properly, !
as a great want of workmen is then felt.
Jf the crop is poor there are plenty of
hands, and with the reduction of wages
they become quite tractable. When
high wages are paid the cigar-makers
become unmanageable, and manufao-
turers use every means to entice labor
ers from one house to another, often
bribing and loaning money with no
prospect of ever being repaid. Hun
dreds of dollars are spent sometimes in
inducing a single workman to leave
one place for another. In times of
scarcity of hands the State prisoners
are released. In 1851 the government
freed eight hundred convicts to supply
the wants of tobacco" manufactories.
One great nuisance, that in
this country wo do not feel,
consists in having to pay to employes
their earrings three times per day.
Havana furnishes the world with
cigars, and in no other placo in the
world are there so many cigar facto
ries. Much of the pleasant aromatic
flavor of the Havana cigar is due to
the fact that the fillers are stripped
and packed in ordinary flour or po
tato barrels and allowed to remain for
six months. The longer the fillers aiM
stored the stronger the flavor becomes.
The method of making cigars in other
countries is very defective, as the ex
quite flavor is lost by too much drying.
Kainy weather always interferes with
the manufacture of cigars, as tobacco
easily absorbs moisture. The fillers
must always be dry before they can he
worked. Poor tobacco is improved by
being artificially flavored with Catalan
wine, which, undiluted, is entirely too
strong to drink.* The manufacturer
never estimates how many pounds of
tobacco will be needed for a thousand
cigars, but est mates how many cigars
can be made from a bale.
The wrapper is selected with great
care, with a view to giving beauty to
the cigar. All the scraps are either re
worked into the body of other cheap
cigars, or exported to foreign countries
for cigarettes. Cigars of an inferior
quality are generally pressed flat. In
stead of cutting the wrapper f om be
low upward, as is done in this country,
in Havana it is done from above down
ward. Great care is taken to cut out
the uppermost part of the leaf, which
makes the finest wrapper. The por
tion that is almost without veins is
wrapped around the heads.
In making a cisrar, Ihe workman
takes two or three pieces of leaf and
places them flat in his left hand; lie
then takes as many smaller pieces as
may be required, rolls them all to
gether in the hand, and finally applies
the wrapper. His chief object is to
cover the veins or place them all on
one side. By this the skillful manipu
lator may be recognized. An unprac
ticed maker will make third-rate cigars
out of first-class tobacco. Another
test of a good workman is the amount
of scraps he makes a day. A good
cigar-maker will average only one-half
pound. The heads of the Havana eiguf
are not fastened with gum or any other
sticky substance, but simply by wheat
bread. This is tasteless, and every
workman carries a well-kneaded por
tion with him. With vory line Havanas
nothing is used to fasten the ends, but
they are secured by many skillful twist
ings that wind into each other.
The enjoyment of the fas'Cd ous
smoker would be blunted if tl>e whole
{irocess of cigar manufacturing were
aid open to h ra. Dirty nogrioes throw
their spittle upon the leaf And tramp
around it with their nak( d feint. This,
combined with the nncleanfcinoss of
many of the factor es. is nolverycnvit ug
information to theloversof the Jdavana
cigar. Everybody in Havana Auokes,
but the ladies in high life are® rather
secretive about the matter. Twcigar
men smoke continually, and wMen the
employer does not supply them* freely
with cigars ot the finest quality ithe la
borers steal them. First-class Rigan
have a tine, smooth appearanoßo, the
wrapper being without veins anil of a
beautiful color. Second and fthird
class c gars are of a fine qualify, but
not so well made. The different grades
of cigars may be recognized by tbe dif
ferent colors of silk bauds that bind
them in bundles. Great care is taken
in embellishing the boxes of tine cigars,
some of the orders of the nobility in
foreign countries being elaborate in the
extreme.
llavana tobacco can be harvested but
once a year. Attempts have 1 een
made to obtain two crops annually, but
these have been unsuccessful. The
best tobacco is known under the name
of tobaco de la vuelta de abajo. It
grows in the regions of the small rivers
in the 8 erras de los Oranjos. Each
year this part of the island is over
flown, and a heavy, rich quality of al
luvium is deposited on the soil. Irri
gation has proved a failure in Cuba.
In the growing season a heavy dew
falls each night, but the soil, wh ch is
a red loam, becomes dry quickly, and
absorbs a great deal of moisture. Only
one good crop can be assured in each
five years. The plant requires great
care. Three kinds of worms
attack it, and these must be re
moved at night by the a d of lanterns.
This is done by boys, who carry the
worms to the planter for their remu
neration. In the early part of January
the tobacco is ripe for cutting. If the
crop is good, all the leaves are cut off
the stock at once, but if the crop is
poor the unripe leaves are left to grow
out more. The early crop is much the
better. It is recoguized by the beauti
ful color and mellow appearance of the
leaves, many of which look as if pearls
were spread over them. <%reat care
ought to be taken in the
Havana leaf tobacco, because it differs
so much in quality. Out of one quality
a manufacturer will make ten different
brands of cigars. The Havana leaf is
the only kind of tobacco that moths
and bugs will eat. These kinds of ver
min are very destruct ve if not kept
away. There s a great deal of money
to be made by a skillful tobacconist in
Havana, but he must be experienced
and understand the language spoken in
Cuba, otherwise he will not profit by
this trade. —lndianaiiolis Journal.
—Portable electric lamps are coming
into use. A primary battery is placed
in the lamp standard, and the glow
appears on a burner s m lir to that of
oil lamps. The battery consists of a
packet of chlor.de of silver, two thin
zinc plates and a weak solut on of
caustic potash. This produces a light
of twelve-candle power, and will burn

Marriage and Health.
It has been proved beyond all perad
venture that married people suffer less
from sickness—have fewer diseases and
live longer lives than the unmarried;
this is true of both sexes. When cholera
rages it takes away more single, than
married people, andsppf ail contagions,.
Professor Urnhard A. Procter. .w-liilf 1 ad
mitting these facts warns sickly-people
against marriage. He cays they have
no right to burden wholesome partners,
with invalid companions for life, nor
should they run the risk of hringfng
children into the world, that may inherit
their chronic ailments. The greater
mortality of the single may be due to
the fact that invalids of both sexes often
abstain from marriage. The question
has been raised whether anyone should
be permitted to marry without adoctor’s.
permit. Certainly it is a mockery of a
divine ordinance, for clergymen to unite
persons who cannot be true companions,
and who are unsuited to each other by
difference of age or aD inherited ten
dency to insanity or disease. — Deforest's

The Physiology of Perspiration.
There are probably 2,500,000 sweat
glands belonging to each human being,
the object of the existence of this per
spiratory system being to remove the
excess of water and noxious gases and
to regulate the temperature of the body.
Perspiration is always going on, and
under normal conditions amounts to
about two pints a day for each person.
If this perspiration is checked in any
way grave results are apt to ensue. The
blood would rush to the lungs and cause
congestion, or to the throat, or to the
stomach, or other parts, which would
become at once affected. The first prin
ciple of health is to keep the skin in
good condition, and the way to keep the
skin in good condition is to use proper
food, to bathe often in cold or tepid
water, and dress properly. —Chicago

An Expert Dentist.
“How much did the dentist charge
you for pullin’ out yer tooth?” asked a
farmer’s wife on her husband’s return

“Dollar.”
“Dollar. That’s too much.”
“Well, he earned every cent of it.
Why, Maria, it tuk that fellar better’u
an hour to git that air tooth out. He
hauled an’ pulled an’ twisted an’ drag
ged me twicet across the floor, and I
never seen a man sweat so in my hull
life. I was afeerd ’fore he got the
blamed thing out he’d want to tax me
$4 or $5. The last time I hand a tooth
pulled the dentist only charged me fifty
cents, but, Lord, he wasn’t at it morn
two minutes.” —Brooklyn Union.

An Inexperienced Housekeeper.
Mrs. Peterby has not been married
very long. She has not got much ex

in the same house, suggested,
' the servant having left, that she boil
some water, so that Mr. Peterby could
have a cup of tea when he came home.
“We can’t boil any water,” replied
Mrs, Peterby.
‘’Why not?”
~. ‘.‘Because the neighbor over the way
has pot-brought back the boiler. _ How
can we boil water without any boiler?”

benefit from it. It has done me more good
than all the Doctors .” Mrs. T., of Vin
cennes, Ind., writes: “Having taken 11
bottles of your Vegetable Compound and
cured by its use, 1 feel very anxious that
every woman afflicted with Womb Disease
should make use of it. Another lady in

Is there a person living who ever saw a '
case of ague, biliousness, nervousness or
neuralgia, or any disease of the stomach,
liver or kidneys that Hop Bitters will not
cure?
« My mother says Hop Bitters is the only
filing that will keep her from severe attacks
of paralysis and headache.— Ed. Oswego
Sun.
“ My little sickly, puny baby, was changed
Into a great bouncing boy and I was raised
from a sick bed by using Hop Bitters a”
snort time. A Young Mother.
J3gT “No use to worry about any Liver,
Kidney or urinary trouble, especially"
Bright’s Disease or Diabetes, as Hop Bit

cine or doctor to cure me until 1 used Hop
Bitters. They cured me in a short time.

*• gravel, Bright’s disease, rheumatism, and
a horde of other serious and fatal diseases,
which can be prevented with Hop Bitters’'
If taken in time.
“ Ludington, Mich., Feb. 2, 1879. I have
sold Hop Bitters for four years, and there”
is no medicine that surpasses them for bib
Sous attacks, kidney complaints, and all
diseases incident to this malarial climate.
H. T. Alexander.
“Monroe, Mich., Sept 25th, 1875. Sirs:
1 have been taking Hop Bitters for inflam

“to do—cured me. The effect of the Bitters
seemed like magic to me.” W. L. Carter.

The Exquisite Pleasure Afforded by
' Family Re-Unions,
In this broad land teeming with a
wealth of natural resources and advan
tages, there is a lamentable tendency
for famiJfcs to become widely separated
as its members arrive at maturity. It
frequently occurs that a mother must
travel a thousand miles or more in or
der to visit her several children and
their families. The exquisite pleasure
afforded by a family re-union is, alas!
too seldom enjoyed. Not always is it
convenient for sons and daughters to
leave their homes and little ones to
gather around the old hearthstone.
Would that tiie custom could more fre
quently be indulged in. On many oc
casions illness in the family is a re
straining cause. Too often, the monster
disease enters an otherwise happy
home, despoiling a parent, afflicting a
child. Our duty to ourselves and to our
little ones demand that we make good
healtli the one grand study and object
of our lives. A terrible master is dis
ease, insatiable and unrelenting. At
first with deceptive, alluring ways he
gains a foothold, while his victim
murmurs “ It is nothing—only a little
pain, only a feeling of •weariness,
only a slight disorder ,” until eventual
ly disease assumes complete control.
Fight the monster in the start I meet
him at his first approach! I by using DR.
GUYSOTT’B YELLOW DOCK AND SARSA
PARILLA. It will make you feel fresh,
the blood will be made pure and circu-t
late with more vim. Sores and pim
ples will disappear, the urinary and di
gestive organs will gain strength and
perform their functions without pain,
while robust health, strength, freedom
from aches, etc., and happy content be
the result, and longevity your roward.
