Selling cigars.

10 be a successful salesman in large
retail cigar store man must be an excel
lent actor; he must possess a powerful
memory, and above all he must always
keep his temper. There is the customer
for whom the clerk must have a smile, the
man who always expects to be congratula-
Ted on his looks, and the weather fend, to
whom the clerk must say, 'ls this hot
enough for youP" To address this query
to wrong customer would be disastrous.
There are others who have smoked the
same brand of cigars for years, They
enter the door, deposit a quarter or half
dollar, pick up their cigars and depart,
without q word. There was one man, who
by the way is prominent board Of trade
speculator, whose voice the clerk has not
heard for over SIX monIhs, although he
buys six cigars day at the store. Not
one man IN dozen knows al 7thing about
the cigars he is smoking, ALd will smoke
five cent cigar with as much enjoyment
as fifteen cent one, provided he thinks
the five center is high priced cigar. The
label on cigar box has great deal to do
with making cigar popular, and the
quotation, "a rose would smell as sweet
by any other name," does not hold good
in this instance. as customers generally go
back on cigar when the label on box
is changed. 1t does no good for the clerk
to explain and expostulate; the label is
changed and the cigar has lost its attrac-
tlOns.
Gamblers are as q rule smokers of the
finest goods, but they are as customers
very cratic, owing TO the different chan
Ses of fortune which they experience.
For weeks and weeks member of the
fraternity may present himself at the same
cigar counter and smoke his twenty five
cent cigars. Suddenly some day he ap-
pears and saws he is tired Of the brand and
Will try nickel cigar. The clerk asks no
questions and in a short time he retnrns to
his twenty five cent weeds, The increase
In young mans salary can always be de-
tected by the obsefvant cigar clerk, as the
price of the cigar which the youthful GUS
toner smokes goes up in proportion.
There is one class of customers who are
separate and distinct from the general line
of smokers; they are the youngsters who
smoke cigarettes The peculiarlties of the
cigarette smoker have often been described
but in cigar store he shows up under a
calcium light They generally come in
pairs, buy sSbunch of the toys and hold
an animated discussion as to the merits of
some brand which is ''too awfully utter. D
Then they light their cigarettes, and sta
tionlpg themselves in the door, act as cigar
signs until their noon hour is up. Their
physique is in marked contrast to that Of
consumers Of good cigars.
1t is fact not generally known that the
smoking of cigarettes has a most injurious
effect upon the growth of the mustache
as the poison generated while smoking
acts upon the mucous lining of the upper
lip, thus stuntlng the growth of the hirsute
appendage. 1t is not the intention of the
reporter to ruin the cigarette manufactur-
ers, but if this fact becomes generally
known cigarettes are in danger OF being a
drug in the market.

4 House With n History.

In very snort ume the building on New
York avenue, near Fourteenth street,
Washington, long known as Chamberlain's
Club House, will be owned by the Young
Mems Christian Association, and after
being remodeled, it will be occupied as
associstion headquarters. OF all the sport
ing houses, restaurants and saloons in
Washington, Chamherlain's is perhaps the
most noted. Men of all classes have assem-
bled a2d regaled themselves there. 1t has
been the scene Of many political and other
plots, and by men of cOnvivial dispositions
1t was considered the most complete estab-
hshment south Of New York. Its Location
and its peculiar architecture were features
IN its favor and enhanced its value.
The property was originally owned by
the McCleary estate and, with the building
was valued at about $28, 900. 1t passed
out of the hands of the McClearys and was
purchased for the above sum by the fam
Gus Washington Club, Governor A. Z
Shepherd, president, and its members.
including HalIet Kilbourn, General Grant
and many others who figured in the cele
brated real esi ate pool and other great
steals, ETC.. which have developed here
since the late wal Temporarily the Wash
ington Club leased the mansion to the
Chinese Legation. Subsequently the club
fitted 1t up lavishly and took possession
themselves. For several years tie club
f1ourished and schemes and plots of every
character were concocted within its richly
appointed parlors. Great sums of money
were squandered at cards and sumptuous
dinners were frequent events there. John
Cham berlaln finally secured it, For long
time be conducted 1t on royal plan and
it became even more famous than ever.
The last two years, however, were without
profit. Chamberlain appeared to be ne :
glectful of his business and the great crowd
of sporting and public men who bad been
his constant patrons began to lessen ana to
seek their peculiar pleasures elsewhere.
Chamberlain concluded to move.
The Washington Club, being IN much
demoralized state financially, concluded to
sell the property, and found purchasers in
the Young Mems Christian Association.
The price paid was $36 900. The change
is generally regretted by all the prominent
sporting men, but the religious element
appear to be jubilant over the fact that the
halls and rooms that once resounded to
the jingle of champagne glasses and the
sounds of ribald jests will soon echo hymns
and give back the notes Of the church
organ.

Nice Napkin @.

The napkins at hotels are now folded.
in half wet condition, into all sorts of
shapes-a goose, a swan, a ship, high
boot are all favorite and fanciful designs
but it is dirty fashion, requiring the
manipulation of hands that are not always
fresh, and the napkin must be damp at the
folding, so it Is not always dry when
shaken out. Nothing is so unhealthy as a
damp napkin. 1t is the death Of dell
cate and nervous lady, a man with the
rose cold, a person with the neuralgia or
rheumatism, and it is offensive to every
one. Never allow your waiter to put on
a napkin unless it has been well aired
There is often conspiracy between the
waiter and the laundress in great houses,
both wishing to shirk work, and the nap
kins not done up in time are hurried on to
the table damp, which Is the height of
Yulgarity.
The mistress OF the house should have a
large chest of reserved napery which lis
not used every day, but which must all be
washed and aired once year at least, to
KEEP II from moulding and getting yellow.
Our Dutch ancestors were very foud of
enriching this chest. and many a house
keeper in New York and Albany is to-day
using linen brought from Holland three
hundred years ago. Tia made in Ireland
has. however, taken the place for us of all
other napery. 1t is good, cheap and some
times very handsome, and if 1t can be
bought unadu!terated with cotton will last
many years.
Too much starch shon1d never he uend
In napkins. No one wishes to wipe a
delicate lip on board, and a stiff napkin
comes very near bt ing board.

voice; "there is another name that to
me is far sweeter." "What is it, dar-

and there was nothing left for him but
to ask her to decide the day when he
might call her by her faYorte name.

THE ONE GREAT MEDICINE.

Without doubt there are now, and have been for
years past, several medicines OF remarkable merit
before the public-medicines which nave Deen
used In very many cases, with excellent success
The names OF these will readily recur 10 our read
ers, and they are the names OF preparations whose
worth, for certain purposes, no one ls supposed 70
deny. But we are fully justified, by undeniab.e
and notorious facts In saying, and we do unhesi-
tatlngy say, that the one great medicine or the
present day-the medicine, we mean, which now
stands pre-eminent above all others-is the IA
nous NEGErINE of Mr.. ii. r. Stevens or Boston.
Some OF the undenlabe facts respecting this ia
nous medicine are these:
First, II Is astonishtngly efficlent in really curing
the various diseases for which IL Is especially COM
pounded and intended.
Second it acts with celebrity which Is generally
very surprising. A single bottle has often either
cured the user OF serious difficulty, or brought
about most agreeable change, While very few
bottles have in thousands OF instances affected the
complete cure OF a long standing disease which
had previously bafied the skill OF tho best ply
Blcans.
Third, It acts directly upon the blood. of which
II is the only powerful and thorough purifier
Fourth, the Les timonials In support OF these
facts and the extraordinary worth Of this medl-
cine are from well-knOwn and most respect
able men and women, and, IN many In
stances, from persons holding the highest
social positions. They are not certificates from
unknown and irresponsible individuals. we, our
selves, know the very high estimation In which
Vegetne is held in one Of che best families in the
city.
There IN, in short, and can be, no doubt or mis-
take Whatever ABOUT the unprecedented huu sur
prlsng efficacy, value and success OF the Vegetlne
AS a pu, ineT of the blood and a quick renovator
and invigorator Of the human system, physical and
mental, no medicine as ls now generally conceded,
has ever been devised and compounded at all
equal 10 II; and, as speedy and Thorough cure
for such complaints as catarrh, cough, stomach
weakness and faintness, loss Of appetite, dyspep-
sa, cancerous humOrs, scrOfula, rheumatism, Kid
ney and some other equally serious complaints,
Negetine altogether surpasses any and all other
known medicinal preparations The rapldlty
with which this great medicine has won It's way
into all parts OF this country and various foreign
since It's discovery and Introduction not many
years ago, Is something alike surprising and con-
nrnatory of It's intrinsic eXcellence.-Provldence,
