2 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. Speer’s Fort Grape Wines for Weakly Persons. Speeb’s Port Grape Wines for Weak ly Persons. —This product of the grape is prescribed and used by leading physicians, when a nourishing wine is desirable; espe cially for females, aged persons and consump tives; and by churches for Communion. Hun dreds of New York physicians have visited Speer’s Vineyard’s and wine Cellars, and pronounced his wine pure and unexcelled in healthful properties.

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.
