CARLYLE ON DARWIN.

in England now proudly give themselves

present generation of Enlishmen very
near to monkeys. A good sort of man

Cigars.

The best tobacco Tor IN aking cigars
grows in the western end of the island of
Cuba, and is known as The Cuelta a6ajO,
the plant most in vogue there being the
nicOtium repaldd. That which is raised
east of Havana is called Uueita arri6a,
and is OF an inferior quality. The most
noted uegd, or plantation is situated near
the town OF Santiago de Cuba. and is
called Yara. The vuelta aha 10 is divided
into five classes: l,calidad, or libra, noted
for its good color, flavor. elasticity, and
perfection OF the leaves, rendering it de.

cipal. or firsts which has lesss flavor, and
is usually of q lighter color; this also is
suitable for wrappers; 3, Segundas, or
seconds, a shade poorer in every particu
lar. but good for filling and inferior
wrappers; 4.terceraS. or thirds, which
are generally employed for filings; 5,
quartaS, or fourths, also employed for
filings. The choicest tobacco is that
raised on the banks OF the rivers which
are periodically overfowed. The varie-
ties are called L0 Rio. Rio Hondo. and
Pinar del Rio. and the tobacco is distin-
guished from all others by fine sand.
which is found In the creases OF the
leaves. As the best tobacco grows in
Cuba, so also the best cigars are made
there. Previous to 1920. the manufac-
ture was a government monopoly, and
since that period the trade has been
open; but so great is the demand. that
very little competition exists among The
manufacturers. The brand affixed 10

Ha,c,horne at Bo,cdoin College.

Haihorn(as The name was spelled in

who often took dead" in his recita-
lioss. but stood first in the class as q
writer. In the preface TO The Snow

mature productions an inimitabe charm.
The late Professor Newman, his instruct
or in rhetoric. was so impressed with
Hawthorne's powers as writer, that he
not untrequently summoned the family
circle to share in the enjoyment OF read
ing his compositions. The recollection
is very distinct OF Hawlhorne's reluctant
step and averted look, when he presented
himself at the Professors study, and with
girlish diflidence submitted a composition
which no man in his class could equal

eye the size and weight of different OBJ

thought it was, and il was lucky child
that could come within foot Of the right
length. He would measure an urchin
and then have scholars try 10 reproduce
the measure on the wall. He would
mark off an inch or foot or yard in
soule conspicuous place, and then see
how near any ybody could come to chalk
ing the same length upon the blackboard.
And it was astonishing how wide astray
one would 90. The fact is, our eyes de-
ceive us ridiculously even upon the
commonest things. At first thought.

and could anything but actual measure

is half as tall as six-footer? There il
an old saying that child two years old
is half as tail as he ever will be; and
after lew experiments in measuring one
can easily believe it, but not before.
