The CIGAR MANCFACTURE N AMERICA
Few outsiders know the magnitude Of cigar
making in this republic, particularly in New
York, where it steadily and rapidly increases
The American-made cigar selling at Is cents
by retail is said to be superior to the same
priced Cuban cigar, which it is driving out
of the market. A factory there is reported
TO be the largest in the world. IL has only
sixty customers, and refuses to swell the
number, because il can not fully supply their
demands. Some 1900 persons-men, wom-
en- and children-are in its employ, and the
firm is building another factory which will
need as many more. But even with their
enlarged facilities they will not seek anoth-
er customer. This is a statement of their
business last October: Cigars delivered
during the month, 1888 $50; wages paid,
Sol 900; amount paid government for rev
enue stamps, S3S.j90; amount of duties
paid on foreign tobaccos, S4.l54 paid for
cigar boxes used during the MONTH 80 ,3O5.-
u; leaf tobacco worked into cigars, %
pounds to 100 cigars, sl20,964. The rapid
ity Of the growth Of orr cigar facture is as
serted to be greater than can readily be i'm
'agined. Millions of our cigars are now an
nually exported to Europe, and the number
of Cuban cigars imported is but trife com
paratively. And every cigar bought is an
instance of money wasted, and health in
jured-eyery one causes untidiness, loss and
unhappiness Of one sort or another.

Desperate Cases.

Many of the cases which come to us for
treatment by Compound Oxygen are of a
class which no physician of any school
would undertake to cure. They are, in fact,
such as have run the gauntlet of experiment
within the regular schools of medicine, and
of quackery without, until between disease
and drugs the patient is reduced to the sad
dest and most deplorable condition, and one
for which relief seems impossible. No cura-
tive Treatment can be subjected to a severer
test than is offered BY these cases. And yet,
in many of these, the most brilliant results
have followed the use of Compound Oxygen.
A record Of some Of these cases will be
found in our Treatise on Compound Oxy-
gen, which is mailed free. DRs. STARKEY

\ lady smoker on a railway train in the
United States, we can thankfully say, is a
curiosity alway, looked upon with disgust.
But in Russia female smokers seem to rule
the day on railroads. as the following story
will SHOW The other day," SAYS a CORES
pondent to a German newspaper II accom-
panied lady relative to the st. Nicholas
Railway depot, ST Petersburg. Russia. from
which place she wanted to take the evening
express for Moscow, and on showing her
frst-elass ticket, she applied to the conduct
or for a seat in ladies' coupe or compart-
ment, which generally seats from eight to
ten persons. TO our great surprise, we
found this coupe, the only apartment For
Ladies" on the train was occupied by lady
smokers, and the apartment was so filled
with smoke that even a tobacco using man
would have felt miserable in it. When |
asked whether smoking was permitted the
conductor gave me an answer in the atfirma-
tive; thereupon went to the chief agent at
the depot and politely asked him whether he
could not furnish me with seat in a ladies'
coach, where smoking was prohibited, but
received this answer: There are gentle
mems coaches for those who do not smoke
in which women may sit, but apartments
expressly for ladies where smoking is pro-
hibited do not exist on our trains" "Why,
how is a lady travelling alone TO do when she
cannot stand such smoke?" "Why, let her

Smoking"

And as their capacity lies in their leavening power, tests were di- rected solely to ascertain the available gas of each powder Dr. Loves report gives the following:
 ''The prices at which baking powders are sold to consumers I find to be usually 50 cents per pound. I have therefore calculated their relative commercial values according to the volume of gas yielded on 8 basis of 50 cents cost per pound"
