A Machine for Making Cigars.

We now come 10 the most important part
Of cigar making wrapping l suppose
that there are more than 200 patents for
wrapping machines, not one device having
proved TO be Of practical value. The great
est difficulty has always been found IN max
ing tie point Of the cigar BY machinery
Strange 90 say, while the point Of a cigar il
bitten oil or cut OH before it is smoked every
cigar haj - neatly made point or ought TO
have; the sharper aud the more regularly
made the better Several manufacturers
have Tried 10 INTRODUCES cigars with the points
already cut OH, and have failed We seem TO
inherit a desire 10 bite that point of, and We
20 on spending money to make what Is OF no
value, and must be destroyed before the cigar
is used
About four years ago / went 10 work az a
machine for wrapping cigars, and IL took me
two years 10 solve the problem Of making
the machine do the work Of the knife and the
fingers in shaping and finishing a neat point
Some months ago / exhibited my first ma
chine, aud six weeks ago | gave al exhibI-
ton OF what it could do - the manufacturers
who now own IT, had it worked for sew
eral hOurs under the inspection of these ex-
perts, the result being that it turned out
several hundred cigars made as well as the
best hand work. and about four times as
fast a. by hand work. As final test. girl,
who never touched leaf OF tobacco before,
after three hours teaching, turned out 100
cigars without defects. -New York Post.

A learned contemporary says that Van
derbilt's $4,000 year cook Is moved to
simplify our American dinners" saying
thus that because q man Is rich be
cannot eat more than poor man. and
yet the idea of fine dinner has been TO
give great number of courses. 1t 10 q
mistake. When q man has eaten his
oysters. his soup, his entrees, bis fish,
what chance has he to enjoy bis mutton
or fowl"
The TINES has taken several oppor'
tunities to state what sensible dinner Ia
If any man can afford to entertain a
prince, and the menu should be as follows
Six raw oysters, consomme soup. terra.
pin or fish, wild duck, cup Of coffee,
and some Roquefort cheese. Anything
put between these FIVE courses may be
soo;ssSuss, but 1t should be ve:y good and
very limited.

How Long IL Take, to Think.

DR.. j. Mex. Carroll has constructed
an ingenious apparatus, by which he
can determine with considerable degree
OF accuracy the time it takes to think,
and has experimental with many inter
esting results. Thus TO see white light
took one-twentieth Of a second; to see a
picture, one-tenth Of second; to see a
letter, one-eighth of second; to see a
word, one seventh Of a second; to Judge
between red and blue one-thirteenth Of 4
second. Some letters and words require
more time to see than others. The time
OF remembering can also DC measured
The name OF familiar word takes less
time TO remember than the name OF a
letter, though the letter can Ike seen in
less time. The name of the next month
can be thought Of in less time than that
OF the last Sensation travels by the
nerves 10 the brain at the rate Of about a
mile a minute, which is slower than was
supposed. Ii would he interesting to
test some of the numerous memory sys-
tens now advertised by this METHOD
