Next to abandoning the use of to-
bacco altogether is the adoption of
some cheaper substitute for cigars.
Every smoker is well aware that no
decent weed can be had for much
less than 10 or Is cents; but as 10
or Is cents are not picked up SO cas-
lily nowadays, your inveterate smok-
er must of necessity make some
compromise, by way of economy.
This of late has been effected by the
use of cigarettes. Retail dealers
state that their trade in this line has
increased 200 per cent. during the
past year. They believe that the
habit of smoking tobacco in this
form is reSOrted to as matter of
economy, as is plainly shown by the
fact that old customers who were
wont to purchase cigars of a supe-
rior quality are now content with
those of an inferior grade. Cigar
manufacturers, on the contrary, de-
ny that cigarettes are taking the
place of cigars, and, while admitting
the great increase in the sale of CT
garettes, regard it is fashion among
smokers, and not as matter of econ
omy. They further declare that the
greatest economy is shown by the
trade in the purchase of inferior ci-
gars. The high priced cigars, once
largely sold, are now manufactured
in smaller quantities, owing to the
hard times. This does not include
the very finest quality of Havana ci-
gars, which were heretofore obtained |
almost exclusively abroad. Their |
manufacture is now carried on in
this country, and to a great extent
has usurped the trade formerly con
fined to Havana and Key West, be-
cause here they can be made and
sold much cheaper. The manufac-
turers at those places are said to
have become greatly alarmed at the
increasing trade in fine cigars in this
country. Domestic manufacturers
affirm, in relation to the prevailing
fashion of cigarette smoking, that it
is injurious, as certain poisonous
ingredients are used in preparing the
paper OF which the outer covering is
made. Statistics at Washington
show very large decrease in the
manufacture and importation of ci-
gars this year in comparison with
that of the previous year. Accord
ing to the Bureau of Statistics, the
total number of cigars and cheroots
upon which the internal revenue tax
was paid during the fiscal year end
ing June 80, 1875, 1928, ,6O7, ,S96.-
This is a decrease of nearly 90. .OOO,-
600 cigars from the year previous.
The amount of cigars manufactured
and imported in this country during
the year 1875, reached nearly 2,OoO,-
BOO. The value of the imported ci-
gars consumed in the United States
turing 1875 amounted to $2.299,7l2.
9s, and of snuff to $1s,47o.

American Apples In Europe.

The shipment of American apples
to Europe, which was only begun in
1857, is now developing into a large
business. From the middle of Oc-
tober up to this time almost every
steamer leaving New York for Liv-
erpool or London has carried ship
ments varying from five hundred to
three thousand barrels. The extent
of the business can be judged from
the fact that the sales of American
apples at Liverpool alone reached
over ninety thousand barrels in the
month of December last. The En-.
glish people have received the large
quantities shipped this season very
favorably, and from Liverpool, the
other cities of Manchester, Birming-
ham, Hull, Bristol, and in fact, al
most every town in England has
been supplied, and American apples
have become literally as familiar
Ashtabula telegraph. (Ashtabula, Ohio) 1874-1880, 1877-05-18

there as household words. The great.
er portion of the apples shipped
from New York were raised in the
western counties of that State. The
Canadian apple crop of 1876 was al
SO large, and the shipments from
Montreal and Quebec last fall, and
from Portland, Maine, this winter
were quite heavy, and the quality of
the fruit good. Boston was the ont
let for the heavy crop of nearly all
of the New England States.
Norristown Herald: soTell me
what you eat and I will tell you
what you are" Thus observed a
French writer more than fifty years
ago; and the same rule holds good
to-day. For instance, when we are
told that man up in Lehigh Coun-
ty, the other day, ate fifty raw oys-
ters, twenty buckwheat cakes, and
pound of Limberger cheese, and
family mince pie, and drank ten
glasses of beer, at one sitting, we
know right away what that man is.
And what he is, is spelled with only
three letters, commencing with an
''h" and ending with ''g."
