perfectos to the skies, as though the
word perfectos was a name or quality

say perfecto was not perfecto because
1t was different in flavor from a perfecto
he smoked some time before. How alb
surd he was will be plain to you if you
understand properly the Specification of
cigar names. The word perfectos is
used to designate the peculiar shape of
such cigars Workmen 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
perfecto would necessarily cost more
than cigar Of the same material but
less difficult to make. But as far as the
word goes it is used only to indicate the
shape of the cigar. Besides words used
to designate the shape we have words
which refer to size. Such words are
fnas, grandes. OF the terms applied 30
shapes l may cite Trabucos. Londres,
Conchas, Reina Victorias. Pantatelas,
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: Processes and Elegantes. Com
binations of size and shape give such
names as Conchas Finas, Conchas
Speciales, Londres Grandes, so that in
two words you have the shape and size

THE HOME.

The purpose of the Home is to afford
its guests a ,etrcat until able 20 resume
their labors, or permanent home Tor
their declining years.
These brain workers seldom live to
be old, but they often live TO want.
One gentleman who found temporary
shelter at the Home hotel told the story
of his trials and struggles. When he
applied for room at the Home he had
just been dismissed from the hospital,
where he had been ill for some months.
His last position was with the New
York Times, for which he had been a
reporter, having done journals tic work
for seventeen years, and commanding
a salary of from $50 to $40 week for
long time. As member of the Press
club it seemed that he might look TO it
for assistance, but he said, mo, must
die before they can help me; they will
bury me. But l may first starve to
death for all the assistance | receive
from them" He remained two months
at the Home hotel, spending weary
days hunting for work. At last he was
fortunate enough 10 fall into the hands
of a wealthy Long Island butcher with
literary aspirations. The butcher
would drop into literature. He must
engage the services of journalist, and
at last, after two months of seeking,
this man found employment.

Why 60 Seconds Make a Minute.

Why is an hour divided INTO so minutes,
each minute into go seconds, etof Simply
and solely because in Babylonis there eX-
listed, by the side of the decimal system OF
notation, another system, tho sexagesimal
which counted by sixties.
Why that number should have been
chosen is clear enough, and it speaks well
for the practical sense of those ancient
Babylonian merchants. There is no mum
Der which has so many divisions as 90.
The BabylouIans divided the suns Jour
ney into "a parasangs, or 120 stadia. Each
parasang or hour was subdived into 80
minutes A parasang is a German mile,
and Babylonian astronomers compared the
progress made by the sun during one hour
at the time of the equinox TO the progress
made by a good w lker during the same
time, both accomplishing one parasang.
The whole course OF the sun during the
"a equinoctial hours was fixed at
% parasangs, or 30 stadia, or 80 degrees.
This system was handed on 70 the Greeks,
and Hipparchus, The great Greek philoso
pher, who lived about $50 Ii. c., introduced
the Babylonian hour into Europe.
Ptolemy, who wrote about 80 a. D., and
whose name still lives in that OF the Ptole-
maic system of astronomy. gave still wider
currency to the Babylonian way of reckon
ing time. II was carried along on the
quiet stream of traditional knowledge
through the middle ages, and, strange 10
say, il sailed down safely over the Niagara

A Widp-AW wake Widow.

A man OF considerable wealth, who
died some time since, made distribu-
ton of his personal estate, which did
not suit his disconsolate widow.
Among other unsatisfactory things,
says the New York Ledger, he be-
queathcd the proceeds Of certain land
and stocks OF value 10 brot her, while
he left the widow the proceeds Of other
stocks and lands comparative ly value
less, az n portion OF her legacy. But
the widow was sole exc cutrix OF the
will; and when she came To sell, she
disposed OF the land and stocks in a
lump, setting high valuation on those
OF which she was TO have the proceeds,
and low valuation of the others, and the
valuation OF the two lots taken together
making fair price for the whole. By
this means she exactly reversed that
portion of her husbands will relating
to the land and stocks in question.
The brother, not relishing such sharp
practice on the part of his sister-in-law
brought suit TO recover the actual
value OF the bequest made TO him;
whereupon the widow proposed that in
stead OF spending the estate in law, they
should marry each other and enjoy 1t TO
gethcr This proposition struck re-
sponsive hord ''in the breast of the broth
err. They were married accordingly, and
are said to be having a jolly time in
spending the fortune which the deceas-

BALM FOR SORE MINDS.
A Home for Unappreeiated and Weary
Brain Workers

A refuge for authors in temporary
distress Such is the Home hotel which
Miss Fisher has est bliShed at II Java
street, Brooklyn, n. Y. Here she has
lived with her father some years. Not
long ago she conceived the idea OF
using her spare rooms rs "A temporary
home for those men and women whose
labors have been of an intellectual
character, and who, through misfOr-
tune, ill-health or old age have become
incapacitated for self-support. The
author, the journalist, the artist, the
inventor, the sculptor, the musician,
the lawyer, the professor, the teacher
or any brain-worke may here find shell
ter if needy.
Miss Fishers idea is to allow any APP
plicant 10 live at the Home hotel, as it
is called, at cost price, or if they are
without means, TO give them rooms
rent free.
More than forty years ago the late n
Z. Willis made an appeal or the found
ing of some semi-private institution
where literary and Other persons of re-

water would make it a much more de-
sirable refuge for all but poets of the

be attended to, for all charity ought to
