How to Light a Cigar,

If the everyday smoker were asked if
be thought he knew how to light a cigar,
he would probably feel considerable ag-
grieyed; yet the results of close observa-
tion on this subject show that great
many do not understand this apparently
simple process:
This was how 1t came about:
A gentleman entered cigar store the
other day and asked for a brand of i'm
ported goods. He received one, and,
lighting it, stood talking for a few min
utes. He pulled at his cigar, and looked
at it, then smelled it, and finally said:
81 cannot understand how it is this
brand varies so much in quality.
keep them at home, and seldom get a
really bad one; but if l buy one of you,
two out of three are terrible: they taste
as bad as they SMELL"
The dealer did not deny the foulness
of the cigar, and could not explain the
cause; yet the reason was a simple one.
He was short, stout man, and the
case over which the pendant lighter hung
was rather broad; consequently the
lighter was too high for him, and in
lighting his cigar he had pushed the end
of it into the blue of the flame, where
nothing but pure gas, unmixed with air,
was burning. This gas was drawn into
the delicate Havana by the action of ig-
milton, and caused the cigar to taste and
smell simply abominably. When it was
explained to him he was astonished, and
owned that he used spills at home.
In an hour the average that lit their
cigars properly was about one in five
Some of them did not give themselves
time to light their cigars, but dabbed
viciously into the fiame-puf, puff and
they were gone, to find the cigar lit al
the side. burning that way, and the stale
smoke accumulating in the unlit portion
giving the flavor to the cigar.
Others pushed the cigar right into the
blue flame, as before spoken of, and went
immediate neighborhood.
Some, in a hurry, not seeing the
lighter, pulled sulphur match from the
vest pocket striking it, lit the cigar be.
fore the sulphur was burned out and only
the clear flame left.
Others, again came in smoking, and
lit the new cigar by plunging the end
into the nicotinized, stale stub; and one
of those said, in his opinion, that was
the best way to light a cigar. One man
lit his from cigarette, and produced
what must have been an indescribable
combination.
Every now and again the exception
would come along. He selected his cigar
cut the end carefully, took a spill or useG
the very tip of the flame lighter, turned
the cigar round as he lit it, pulled at it 6
few times, saw that it was we'll lit all
round and burning satisfactorily, nodded
to the retailer, and strolled quietly out.
In thirty men, only five took the time
and trouble to light their cigars in &
reasonable manner, and as this must
initiate strongly against the true nature
of the goods sold being understood and
appreciated by the consumer, it is point
to which the intelligent retailer might
with advantage direct his attention
when not too much pushed by flood Of
customers.

The AsToRIAN feels that it has been
fooled, but in a righteous cause, and
there are thousands more the same way.
When the news of the Johnstown horror
bust on the country last June. Astor-
ians in response to a suggestion in these
columns, contributed literally: the writer
has a receipt for moneys sent to relieve
suffering. But now investigation has
disclosed the fact that millions of dol
lars then subscribed are held on call by
trust companies and, therefore, bear no
interest for the sufferers. The trust
companies get the interest, which
amounts to about $500 day. Moreover,
the paying of claims is blocked by such
outrageous demands as that of James
Mcmillan, a millionaire, for $175,000
damages. Was the money subscribed to
enrich trust companies or to give $40, ,0OO
to q millionaire? Was it for this that
the poor men gave their dollars and
chileren their pennies? Not much! The
name of James Mcmillan will never be
forgotten nor forgiven, and that of Gov
ernor Beaver, of Pennsylvania, who has
permitted such delays and frauds, will
be almost as popularity execrated.

The suit of Moy Book Hing, the Port
land Chinese contractor, against the
Chinese consul-general, Tsang Hing
Tsan, has been compromised for ST., 900,
and will never be called before the United
States district court, where it is pending
The attorneys for the plaintiff acknowl-
edge that overtures for a compromise
have been made, but will not state any,
thing definite about the matter. Should
this case be compromised, it is probable
that several other cases of a like charac,
ter against the consul general will be
settled by compromise. The suits grew
out of the distribution of the indemnity
money which the government appro-
priated to pay the losses of the Chinese
incurred during riots. The plaintiffs
claim that the consul received the money

full, bat charged eXpences which were
