thropist, has presented the Sanitarium
'Association of that city with $25,000, ac
companied by the request that the sum

One of the latest achievement* of s< i
encc, remarks the New York H'wZd, is
the measurement of a snail’s pace. It
has just been demonstrated that a snail
can go a mile in I I days. Science should
now attempt to discover how long it
takes the average messenger boy to go
’the same distance in marble-playing
'season.

have said in a recent conversation that
the best monarchy is the one in which
the king is felt everywher, without be
ing observed. “And the best republic?”
he was asked. “It is that one,” was the
reply, “where, as in America, the genius
of the people has so deeply penetrated
every fibre of the social fabric that no
place remains for a king.”
1 The jailer of the Pueblo county jail,
'Colorado, permitted one of the prisoners
to play the violin evenings. The other
night the scraping began at an early
hour, and ha* kept up continuously and
vigorously until late, when it ceased. In
the morning the jailer found that, under
cover of the music, four prisoners uud
sawed off a portion of a window casing,
worked a big stone out of place and
escaped.
A prominent hotel steward in Chicago

How Cigars Are Made.
The tobacco leaf is received at the
factory in bales, mid the first process is
to dampen or “blow” it for the strippers.
The strippers arc usually girls, though
boys are employed also. They receive
the dampened tobacco leaves, and their
business is to strip the leaves from the
center stalk that runs through the middle
of each leaf. This is done by hand, and
requires some dexterity, which can only
be acquaircd by practice. An expert
stripper earns $1.25 a day, the less ex
peri seventy-five cents and sl. The stalks
are tin own into a heap at one side, to be
sold to flic florists and gardeners for
fumigating purposes, mid the leaves are
made up into bundles, to be distributed
among the cigarmakers at the various
benches.
Every day each cigannakcr receives a
certain weight of tobacco leaves, out of
which he must make a certain number of
cigars. From eight to lifteen pounds a
thousand, a cording to their size, is the
weight of the ordinary siz.es,
'I he tools of a cigannakcr consist of a
square cutting board, a sharp knife, like
that used by shoemakers, and a pot of
gum. Taking up some of the broken
leaf in his left hand, he rolls it up with
the right, cither up or down, according
ns he has been taught. A Spanish cigar
maker always rolls it down, while a
German always rolls it up. This makes
the tiller. The art of making the filler
consists in milking the grain of the leaf
all one way, and so as to run from the
end of the cigar. Then the fire burns
with the grain, and the cigar is said to
smoke w ell. When a smoker has a cigar
that won't draw, in all probability it was
i made by a novice, and the filler was ar
ranged, topsy-turvy, or against the
gran.
The filler being made, ordinary work
men with ordinary cigars next put on a
I binder, which is a large smooth leaf, to
I envelop the filler, mid then put on the
, wrapper, a narrow strip of smooth leaf
i rolled round and round obliquely toward
the top. and fastened there w ith a touch
of gum. The Spanish workman making
the lie-t quality of cigars puts the wrap
per around the tiller, without n binder.
When well made this proves to be the
best cigar for smoking. Ago id work
j man can make 1,0(10 cigars a week,
, though it takes hard w ork to do it. The
| pay is according to the quality of tho
cigar, from $1 sto $35 per 1,000. When
I the tillers are made in n mould, from $8
th sls per thousand is paid. Alter being
' made the cigars are taken to another
bench, w here they are assorted accord
ing to color, after w hich they me packed
in boxes, branded, labeled and stamped,
•md then they are ready lor the market.—

How B.'eswax is Made.
It is no mere extraneous sub-tanee
which needs only to be collected lor use;
it is a bit of organic home manufacture.
If you examine the under surface of a
cell budding worker you will find be
neath the abdomen four pairs of white
plates projecting from a- many pockets
in the im a-ing rings of this pint of the
body. These are the wax plates, made
from the life blood of the worker. Ex
amine now w ith a lens one of the hinder
legs. You will find that the stoutest
joints are very square shouldered at the
hinge, and that the hinge is well over to
one side, so that the shoulders form a
pair ol .i ws, which open when the limb
is bent, and close when it is straightened.
The upper naw has a row of spines which
bite ou a yl'.te on the lower jaw. With
this apparatus, piercing it with these
swines, ttie worker withdraw-, a wax
plate from its pccket. transfers it to the
front legs, and theme to the mouth,
where it is laboriously masticated with
a salivary secretion. Unless it under
goes this process it lacks the ductility
requisite for cell making. M'lrray't

Pitts’ Carminative, it will give instant
relief, and regulate the bowels, and
make teething safe and easy. It will
cure Dysentery and Diarrhoea. Pitts
Carminative is an instant relief for
colic of infants. It will promote di
gestion, give tone and energy to the
stomach and bowels. The sick, puny,
suffering child will soon become the
fat and frolicing joy of the household.

Certain Chicken Cholera Cure,
Eightycarfl of careful experiment and pains
taking research have resulted in the discovery
of an infallible specific for the cure and pre
vention of that most fatal and dreaded enemy
of the feathered tribe—Cholera. After the
fullest and fairest tests possible, in which ♦•very
claim for the remedy was fully substantiated,
the remedy was placed upon the market, and
everywhere a single trial has been all that was
squired to prove it a complete success. Tho
directions for its use arc plain and simple, and
the cost of the remedy so small that the saving
of a single fowl will repay the expense. Its
effect is almost magical. If the remedy is i
given as directed, the course of tho disease is i
stopped at once. Given occasionally as u pre- !
there need be no fear of Cholera, I
which annually kills more fowls than all other
diseases combined. It is true to name, a Cor- j
tain Cure for Chicken Cholera. No poultry ,
raiser or farmer can afford to be without it. It
will do all that is claimed for it. Read the fol
lowing testimonial :
STATE OF GEORGIA,
Department of Agriculture,
Atlanta, Ga., March 19, 1887
To tho Public: Tho high character of the
testimonials produced by Mr. Dodge, together
with his well known reputation for truth and
veracity, afford convincing evidence of the
high value of the Chicken Cholera Cure ho is
now offering upon the market. If I were en
gaged in the business, I would procure a bot
tle of his medicine, little doubting the success
that would attend its administration.
Yours truly,
J. T. HENDERSON,
Com’r of Agriculture.
