THE HOME OF THE HAVANA.
'ferae of the Secrets of the Cigar-Making
Ind ustry of Cuba.
[Cuba Cor. Indianapolis Journal.]
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 circumstance
that the finer aroma and flavor of cigars
made there are due. Natural ditfer
ences in the various kinds of tobaccc
and climatic causes, or course, have
much to do with this superior aroma
and flavor; but, even if other countries
had the Havana leaf, they could not
produce the same excellent cigars. One
reason why cigarmakers in Cuba arc
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
lour or five layers of Havana used. The
genuine Havana has a fragrance, aparl
from that which the quality of the leal
and careful seasoning imparts, which
must be attributed to the modus oper
and! of the cigarmaker and the meth
ods of manufacturing.
Our favorite brand is manufactured
immediately after the plant has gone
through the process of fermentation,
and while the leaf is almost colorless.
Some people think that fresh tobacco is
more easily handled, because it is softer
and more elastic, but in reality this is
not so. Most kinds of tobacco in Ha
vanna. must be immersed in water be
fore they can be worked. Cellars are
unknown there, and, in consequence,
tobacco becomes drier by heat and
draughts than in other countries. Ha-
Vanna tobacco undergoes fermentation
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 before they
attain such a degree of coloring that
they can be used, If the leaves are
worked much earlier they yield princi
pally third-class cigars.
Havana furnishes the world with
cigars, and in no other place in the
world arc there so many cigar factories.
Much of the pleasant aromatic flavor of
the HaTvana cigar is due the fact that the
fillers are stripped and packed in or
dinary flour or potato barrels and al
lowed to remain six months. The
longer the fillers are stored the stronger
the flavor becomes. The method of
making cigars in other countries is very
defective, as the exquisite flavor is lost
by too much drying. Rainy weather
always interferes with the manufacture
of cigars, as tobacco easily absorbs
moisture. The fillers must always be
dry before they eau be worked. Poor
tobacco, is improved >y being artificially
flavored with Catalan wine, which, un
diluted, is entirely too strong to drink.
The manufacturer never estimates how
many pounds of tobacco will be needed
for 1,000 cigars, but estimates how
many cigars can be made from a bale.
In making a cigar, the workmen takes
'wo or three pieces of leaf and places
them flat in his lefthand: he then takes as
many smaller pieces as may be required,
rolls them all together 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 skill
ful manipulator may be recognized. An
unpracticed 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
cigar are not fastened with gum or any
other sticky substance, but simply by
wheat bread. 'I bis is tasteless, and ev
ery workman carries a well-kneaded
portion with him. With very fine Ha
vanas nothing is used to fasten the ends
but they are secured by many skillful
twistings that wind into each other.
Everybody in Havana smokes,
but the ladies in high life arc
rather secretive about the matter.
The cigar-men smoke continually, and
when the employer does not supply
them freely with cigars of the finest
quality the laborers steal them. 1-irst
ela&s cigars have a fine, smooth appear
ance, the wrapper being without vein:
and of a beautiful color. Second am
third class cigars are of fine quality
but not so well made. The differen
grades of cigars may be recognized b;
the different colors of silk bands that
bind them in bundles. Great care is
taken in embellishing the boxes of fine
cigars, some of the orders of the nobil
ity in foreign countries being elaborate
in the extreme.

A favorite amusement in England in old
times was bear baiting. As earlv as the

dogs was a popular game in London, while

How an Atlanta Woman was
Made to See and Hear.
AN INTERESTING STORY.
Miss Minnie Wallaie resides with Mrs.
George Fickland, 41 McAfee street. Atlanta,
Ga., and from her own lips a Constitution re
porter learned the following story:
several months ago she became almost to
tally blind and deal, and could not any
thing except s*lt. Her bones became the seat
ol intense pain, her joints were swollen and
painful, and eventually her whole body and
limbs became covered with splotches and
small sores. Her appetite failed, and she
gradually lost flesh and strength, and had but
little use of herself, as her limbs and muscles
were baralyzed. She, as well as her friends
and those with whom she lived, despaired of
her recovey. Her sufferings, combined wiln
loss of hearing and taste, and blindness, were
truly heartrending.
All treatment from physicians and the use
of medicines seemed powerless. Her dis
ease was blood poison and rheumatism.
As she now seemed well and hearty the re
porter asked what wrought such a wonderful
change. , . ,
••I used a medicine recommended by a
friend,” she replied, “and before one bottle
had been taken I began to see and hear. Ihe
second bottle relieved all rheumatic pains
and improved my appetite. When I haacom
pleted the use of six bottles my eyesight and
hearing were fully restored, sense of taste re
i timed, and splotches disappeared, sores all
healed, and .my strength and flesh restored.
I now feel as well as I ever did, and my
friends, as well as myself, are astonished.”
“What was the Medicine?” asked the re
porter. „ ~
“Botanic Blood Balm—B. B. B. was the
great remedy that a ted so powerfully on my
disease and "cured me. 1 never experienced
any unpleasant symptoms from its use, and
its action is so quick that it surprises all.
The reporter then sought a physician who
knew the case, whereupon he handed us the
following lines:
“1 examined the above case of blood poison
and rheumatism, before and after being
cured, and certify to the main facts above
stateci, and must acknowledge that the B. B.
B. eflec:ed a most wonderful cure in this
well-known case. ~
