New York for Havana that does not take
out from 1000 to 5000 rcams, or in oc-
caSional instances as high rs 20, 600 rcams,
of coarse brown wrapping paper What
this paper was used for was for long
time 4 mystery; but it has recently been
revealed that it enters into the manu-
facturc of "purc Havana cigars 1t
is said that when saturated in the inicc
of tobacco stems, the straw paper makes
Il " filling" almost equal, if not superior,
to the genuine leaf. In fact it is some
times impossible to detect the delicate
film of paper intcrlappcd with leaves in
the finished cigar, or neatly folding the
exterior For this purpose, we are told,
it serves admirably, the paper, under
combustion leaving no rcSidinm other
than a pure white ash. To such Il refine
ment of art has this business been carried
that by the Use of machines rolled over
the sheet of paper an almost perfect I'M
preston of the tobacco leaf is obtained,
the peculiar "spots' being printed as on
calico. Smokers of Havana cigars will
no doubt consume their "weed with
added zest after learning of what it i,
probably composed.

How the hcathon of India manipulate
English cloths for market is shown by
the following extract from the Madras
Mail: "An unusual practice is common
among the cloth sellers in ,IubhulpOre.
Bales of English piece goods are carried
to the Oometec rivulct and washed. The
object of this is to thickcn the texture
of the cloth, and 50 to get Il much higher
price that that current for them as they
arrive from Manchester. The pieces are
one by one opened out at the rivers
bank and washed in the running water.
This takes off the English sizing they
arc next re-rOllcd and beaten with
wooden clubs, dipped and beaten again
and again, and 50 on for hours; the
threads then begin to swell and thicken
the cloth, 50 that the weaving appears
close and tough. They are then re-
opened and partly dried, dipped into Il
tub of well boiled rice-water (such as is
used by dhobics for starching), and care
ully hung ont to dry. When dry the
cloth is carefully reioIded, pressed and
placed in the shop for sale. The change
the cloths undergo by this process is
astonishing. A coarse, long cloth,
worth say four annas a yard, is trans
formed to a close-textuIcd fabric rivaling
one of Horrocks' best. The cloths 80
improved are chiefly sent out to vii
lageS, where they are readily sold as
Manchester goods of the stoutest and
best quality"
