been saving. The collectors either send
on the cigar-ends to the central society,
or sell them on the spot and transmit
the proceeds. This latter plan, when it
can be worked, is preferable, as saving
expenses in carriage and packing. 1t IS
proposed that the number of children
which each town shall have the privi-
lege of sending to the Home shall be
regulated according to the amount
which they have contributed to the So
ciety.
To insure the success of this institu-
ton, it will be absolutely necessary for
all to unite and work together; each
one must not leave it for his neighbor,
thinking that one more or less can make
no difference. To show, however, what
might be accomplished by a thorough
unity in this matter, let us say that
there are at least some 100000
smokers in Germany; or, to be very
much within the mark, we will take on
ly 100000 smokers, who will give
themselves the trouble, if such it is, of
saving up their cigar-ends; and aSsum-
ing that the cigar-ends of each person
during one week are worth only quar-
ter Ptennig 90 Pfennig equal 1
penny English), we have Il total revenue
for the year of G5O,OOO marks, or $780,
500. Now, these $32, 800, which, as a
rule, are thrown away and wastet, can
be used to provide home for at least
$4,000 poor orphan children. Further,
if the 100000 smokers would con-
tribute but once year the value only
of a single cigar, say in Germany, l
penny, this would make an additional
100000 marks, or G25, 900, which would
clothe another 10000 children.
Now, we ask, is it not worth while to
be CAREFUL in small things, and to save
up these usually wasted cigar-ends,
when we see what great things might
result? We can only conclude by wish
ing success to this remarkable institu-
ton, which has taken for its motto the
most appropriate words, "Viele Wenig
machen Elm Well" or, in the words of
the old Scottish proverb, "Many a little
makes mickle. .n-ChGmberS'S Journal.

ally and introduced into Matching
oven, where, after period of eight
days, in every instance the normal de-
velopment of the embryo was observa-

germs possess very much greater re-

"A. j. Nellis, of Pittsburg, has in

to the remotest corners of the mold,
and is also a preventive of blow-holes
Plowshares and other irregular castings,
have been very successfully produced by
this process. They may be forged ino
any shape by blacksmith, and, when
worn out by use, converted into smaller
articles, such as tools, knives, etc.

DR.. Pierce'S InYalidS' and Tourists
HVtel-Grand Opening.

DR.. r. Y. Pierce opened his new In
valids' and Tourists Hotel, at Buffalo,
n. T., on the 10Th of April, with re-
ception to the press, followed by one
on the 3Oth to the citizens, both of
which were largely attended and highly
enjoyed by all the guests, whom the
genial Doctor received and entertained
in the most princely style. The struct-
ure itself is magnificent and imposing,
the style Of architecture being what is
known as the modern French. Sit
uated as it is, on the highest ground in
the city, with pleasant wooded lawn
before it, sloping gently to the Niagara
River, it commands the finest and
healthiest position obtainable, espe-
cially as Buffalo is probably
the healthiest. city in the country.
Skillful combinations of maple, ash,
oak, cherry, ebony and mahogany, with
tiles in according colors, form the rich
est effects in the several halls and par
lors. 1t rs heated throughout by steam,
and fresh water is drawn from the
street by q large pump, which forces it
sixth stories. Pure air and sunshine
being two Of DR.. Pierce's fayorite med
icines, the system of ventilation is,
therefore, most perfeCt-Gyery room
being SO constructed as to receive fresh
outdoor air and provided with double
escape for any air which has become
impure. The value of such ventilation
to inyalids needs no comment. There
is not a room in the house that is not
visited by sunshine, or from the door
of which a staircase cannot be seen. On
every floor there are four stations, each
provided with 100 feet of hose, con-
nected with the Champion chemical
tire-eXtinguiShing system, and which,
with the assistance of the speaking an
nunciator, can be made instantaneOusly
available. Everything pertaining to
the medical department is placed down
upon the basement floor, thus giving no
unpleasant suggestion of the sick room
to those guests who d not need ply
sician. Here we find the Swedish
health-lift, reception-room, conSulta-
tion-rooms, of which there are several,
each one for some special class Of dis
eases-all tastefully arranged and well
supplied with the appliances necessary
for their different departments. The
bath system is arranged in the most
complete and luxurious manner. The
rooms are large and fitted up with
glazed tiles, and comprise Turkish,
Russian and electric baths, In the
matter Of recreation, the house is well
supplied, having q bowling-alley, bill
iard-room and gymnasium. The ca
pacity of the house is about 25O guests.
The tower, 140 feet from the ground,
rears its magnificent head above the
whole, making q grand tout ensemble.
The hotel opened for business on the
lst of May. The enterprise will doubt
less meet with that unbounded success
which it most surely deserves.

How Cigar-ends are Utilized In Ger.
many.

Probably few people in this country
are aware that that usually wasted sub
stance, cigar-end, is utilized in Ger
many to large extent, and with even
benefoent results.
We can imagine many Of our readers
wondering what can be the object of
collecting these small ends; and we will
therefore briefly explain that they are
sold for the purpose of being made into
snuff, and that the proceeds of such
sales are devoted to charitable purposes.
There is in Berlin q society called the
"Verein der Sammler Won Cigarren-
Abschnitten," or the Society Of Collec-
tors of Cigar-cuttings, which has been
in existence some ten years, and has
done much good. Every Christmas the
proceeds of the cigar-ends collected by
this society and its friends are applied
to the purchase of clothes for some poor
orphan children. In 1876 about thirty
children were clothed by this society,
each child being provided with shirt,
pair of good leather boots, a pair of
wooden stockings, warm dress, and a
pocket et-handkerchief. In addition to
this, large, well decorated Christmas
tree is given for their entertainment,
and each child is sent home with agood
supply of fruits and sweetmeats. Alto
gether, more than two hundred orphan
children have been clothed by this So
ciety simply by the proceeds OF such
small things as cigar-ends.
The success of the society at Berlin
has induced further enterprise in the
same direction, and it is now proposed
to erect building, to be called the
"Deutsches Reichs-W -Waisenhaus" (lm-
perial German Orphan Home), where
orphans who are left unprovided for
may be properly cared for, clothed and
instructed. The site proposed for this
Institution is at Lahr, in Baden, where
there are a number of snuff manufacto-
ries, and it is therefore well adapted to
the scheme, which we can only hope
may be successfully carried out. Al
though the directors of this Home pro-
pose to have a plan prepared for large
building, only small part of it will at
first be erected, to which each year or
two more rooms may be added, in ac-
cordance with the original plan, in pro-
portion to the success which is found to
attend the undertaking. 1t will be
readily understood that good many
difficulties beset this scheme, for it re-
qaires the most perfect cooperation Of
the smoking community and some as
sistance also from non-smokerS; but
much can be done by friends who will
undertake the duty of collecting, and
some of the most energetic of these are
not unfrequently of the fair sex
The system OF collection, which is ex-
tended over large part of Germany, is
generally undertaken by one or two
ladies or gentlemen in each town, who
collect now and then from their smok,
ing friends the ends which they have

The late Lord Leitrim did not 60 in
for popularity. A few years ago he ad-
vertised for some one to fill up the va
cancy in his Donegal agency. Three
hundred applicants wrote to him, and in
answer to one of them he said that he
wished to appoint military gentleman
used to shooting natives in Australia and
New Zealand, as he wanted wholesome
lesson given to the tenants on his eS-
tate.
During the SO years Of its existence
the income tax has brought into the cof-
fers of Great Britain and Ireland the
sum of E265, 100000, or S1,325, ,O0O,O 600
in gold. The highest rate-ls. 4d, on
the pound-was in 1861, the years
following the Crimean war. Ihe lowest,
in 1875, was I'd, while the present tax,
including the increase from the "six-
million" vote, is only Sd. (about two
per cent? on incomes above 9l5O.
There is in Berlin q society called
"The Society of Collectors Of Cigar
Cuttings" Every Christmas the pro-
ceeds Of the cigar ends collected by its
agents are applied to the purchase of
clothes for poor orphan children. In
1876 about 30 children were clothed by
this society, each child having a shirt,
pair of strong boots, wooden stockings,
warm dress, and pocket handkerchief.
They were in addition entertained with
a well decorated Christmas-tree. The
system of collecting is by one or two
ladies or gentlemen is the various towns
Of Germany getting their friends to save
their lends" for them. Putting the
smokers in that country at 100000,
which is very much below the mark, and
assuming that the cigar-ends OF each
person are worth 2 cents quarter, this
would make in a year 100000, and it
is now proposed by making more active
efforts to raise a much larger sum than
has hitherto been raised by this means
and found large orphan home.
