Il have never struck my two chill
dren,' said a young American father
the other day, though 1 have often
been tempted strongly to 1t, and some
times would not have blamed any
parent for doing SO. But was thrash
ed so much hymn own father, good
enough man, too, that 1 always stood
in fear of him, seldom told him the
truth if I could help 1t, and never con-
iided in him. Often was whipped for
errors had committed with good in
tentions, and remember the wild spirit
of hatred that used to come over me at
such times. when. smartlng under the
blows 1 felt / did not deserve, would
get away by myself and swear silent
out bitter oaths that would have opened
the old gentleman's eyes to his folly,
perhaps, If he could have heard them
from so young child. So made a
VOW that would never beat my own
children. And now I feel sure that
they do not stand in physical fear Of me,
am pretty certain they tell me the
truth, and know they conilde in me
as friend. And though they do not
obey me nearly as implicitly as did
my father, and make themselves much
more of nuisance to me than 1 was to
him, yet they don't regard me as bully,
and that is something.'

Feminine wood Carving.

Wood carving is one of the newest
feminine fads. The passion for carved
hall and dining-room furniture and for
wood over mantels las something to do
with the craze. The tools are easily
handled and require little muscular
strength, but a quick eye, an artistic
feeling and a steady hand. The designs
are confined only to the tastes OF the
fair modeler, and may include any,
thing which her Imagination conjures.l
Small pieces of work are the rule, how
ever, such as panels and tiles for the
side of the mantel, and the like, but
carved desks sideboards and large dec
orative pieces are not beyond the ambi.
tlon of the more aspiring. If the taste
for wood carving continues to increase
it will supply an occupation In which
women who go in for something more
than amusement will fad, If they arV
artists, one more welcome resource.

CIGAR-BOx NAMES.
Explanatfon of Some OF the Terms Most
Commonly Used.

..What people don't know about the
various names. applied to cigars would
ell a book" said cigar dea.er 81
have heard men laud Perfecos to the
skies. as though the word perfectos was
a brand name, or a quality name.
AGAIN. have heard a man assert that
a Perfecto was not Perfecto, because
it was altogether different in flavor
from a Perfecto he smoked some time
before. How absurd he was will be
plain to you if you understand properly
the signifcation of cigar names. The
word perfectos is used to designate the
peculiar shape of such cigars. Work
men get more for making them than
for making others, as it is not so easy
to roll the material into the perfecto
shape. For this reason a Perfecto
would necessarily cost more than O
cigar of the same material, but less diff
ficult to make But as far as the word
goes it is used only to indicate the
shane Of the cigar. Besides words used
to designate the shape, we have words
which refer to size. Such words are
finas, grandes. OF the terms applied to
shapes. l may cite Trabucos. Londres,
Conchas, Reina, Victorias, Panatelas,
Regalias these words being plurals.
The language, you see. is Spanish, and
the names were first applied by the
Cubans. Words which indicate size
and shape are, Infantes. applied to tiny
cigars, Princesses and Elegantes. Com
bfnations of size and shape names give
such names as Conchas Finas Conchas
Specials, Londres Grandes, so that in
the two words you have the shape and
size.indicated.
In addition to the shape and size
Names" SAID the cigarman, 1--WE have
color names, such as claros, applied tc
very light colored cigars; colorado
clara, not quite SO light colored; colo
RADIO. quite dark colored, colorado ma
duro, darker; maduro, darker still; os-
euro, very much darker; negro; darkest
OF ALL You will observe that on the
front of a cigar box the shape and size
names are found, while the color name
is found on the right-hand side. The
term bouquet is applied to a cigar
which has a tiny ribbon tied around it
