quantities. The so-called Wheeling toby,

made entirely by hand. An expert cigar
maker can roll about 5000 tobies per day.
Perhaps the most interesting objects of
study In the whole factory are the variously
designed labels that adorn the interiors Of
cigar boxes. On these, and other Autographs
used for advertising purposes, hundreds of
dollars are expended by the manufacturer.
The amount of ingenuity displayed in some
OF the designs is surprising. One cigar
label represents three huge grasshoppers,
sitting on fence, smoking; behind them is
a devastated wheat field, and in front a fine
field of ripe grain, while over all is the
legend, I'm this wheat by and BY" 1t is
scarcely necessary to state that cigars of this
brand are intended for the Kansas trade.
Another label is marked "Hayseed," and
pictures farmer trying to blow out an
electric light. On box of cheroots are the
words "She roots" with the picture of a
large, fat hog. 1t pays to spend money and
time on labels, as name that catches the
popular fancy may sometimes cause the sale
of millions OF a particular grade of cigars,
whereas the demand for the same quality Of
goods, under another name, would perhaps
be very slight. E. w. BARTLETT.

by women and girls. When the stripping
is finished, the tobacco is sorted and ar
ranged in pads for further manipulation.
In another room are the machines by
which tobacco is cut into cigar "fllers. !"
The apparatus is so arranged that the mate
rial can be cut of any length desired,
and the machinery does its work very

is taken, along with the leaf in which 1t is
wrapped, to the punching" department,
where the body of the cigar is made and
shaped. This work. formerly all done by
hand, is now entirely performed by ma
chinery. The punching machine is an in
genious contrivance, worked by a treadle

formed. As the "bunches" come from the
machine they are taken by the operative
and placed one by one in wooden molds
having space for 20 cigars each. The molds
are then subjected to pressure for about two
hours, when the cigars are ready for the
final wrapper and the finishing process. One
girl with machine can bunch about 4,OOO
cigars day. an amount of work which it
would require five persons to do by hand.

CHAPTER TX.
ON AND BESIDE LAKE GEORGE.


The face of the sun may have outshone the
face of Mr.. Jonas Pootle, that day in Sep
tember, but for genuine geniality the man
beat the orb, all things relatively consid-
cred. The sun was doing it in o general,
functional way, and had not just returned
from bridal journey to Europe, but was
merely sailing over Lake George for the
millisnth daily time, more or less, accord
ing as geology and the ages had counted.
The grandeur of his accustomed round had
the lonesomeness Of minated monotony. To
the eyes that were part of the efulgence of
MIR. Pootle's yisage the limpid water of the
lake, and the miniature Alps of its bounda-
ries, were new; but if in place of the
scenic beauties there had been the sterilitv
of desert. the lustrous jollity Of the old
fellows happiness would not have been
greatly dimmed. He sat centrally in a
small yacht, ballasting the craft with his
weight, while aboard with less careful dis
posal were his bride, whom we have known
as the Widow Gansett, and with whom his
honeymoon was not inclined to expire with
its month; Colonel and Sheeba Dallas,
whose cross purposes had not been active
during the time of May Morris absence,
and who had worked in harmonious busi-
ness together, without once discussing the
subject of their disagreement; and May and
the rivals in gallantry towards her, Victor
Leroyd and Winston Dallas; beside two
outsiders and a servant girl.
The two strange members of the party
were Arba Van Rensselaer, and Knicker-
booker Knox, proudly descendent from
Dutchmen of early New York. Miss Van
Rensselaer, was widely awakened from the
sleepiness of her honored ancestors, and was
a thorough exponent of the brisk, alert and
piquant belle of Fifth avenue at the present

Many of them are small, to be sure, yet the
aggregate annual revenue to the United
States Government arising from the tax on
their products reaches an enormous hgure
each year. The cigarmakers are class OF
whom the general public hears and knows
but little. Unless there be strickland
strikes are rare in this trade-they never
figure in the newspapers, but pursue their
calling quietly, unostentatiously and in
dustriously, year in and year out, helping
largely toward swelling the grand total of
the figures which represent the value of the
annual output of Pittsburg's varied manu-
featuring interests. Probably no other in
dustry of like importance commands so
small share of the public attention.
1t is probably not generally known, and
yet am assured that it is fact, that the
largest cigar mandatory in the State is
bcated in Pittsburg. This establishment
employs over $50 workmen. women and
girls, and last year paid into the United
States Treasury the neat little sum of $685.
600 for revenue stamps. As the tax is So on
each 1000, this represents product Of
100000 cigars, or about 63 cigars per
year for each man, woman and child in the
two cities And this, bear in mind, is only
what one factory made. Divide up pro
aall the cigars made in all the factories
during the year and there would probably
be enough fall to the lot of each smoker to
keep him supplied with smoking material
for quite a number of years, if not for the
rest of his lifetime.

But fortunately for the manufacturers
they don't have to depend upon home con-
sumption. Their goods find a market in
all sections of the country. Even the much
maligned and ridiculed Pittsburg toby
which the Government, with sublime dis
regard for the eternal fitness of things,
classifes and taxes as "cigar"-is finding
its way eastward and westward, and bids
fair, in time, to make its influence felt and
smelt throughout the whole United States.
Most men smoke cigars, yet compara-
lively few know how they are made. Peo-
pie seldom trouble themselves to visit the
kitchen and ask the autocrat of that domain
how he or she prepares the various dishes
that make up the daily bill of fare. They
don't care, at least men don't if the food
tastes well. It's the same way about cigars
The average smoker cares not how they are
constructed if they have the aroma,
fragrance and other qualities which he likes.
Yet the process of cigar-making, as it is
carried on in large establishments, is most
interesting. In order to gain some infor-
nation on the subject went few days ago
to the large cigar factory before mentioned,
and was courteously shown through it by
the proprietor.
We first visited the lower floor of the
building where the tobacco is received, un-
packed and prepared for the cigar makers.
1t comes in large cases, the leaves being
punched and tied together in small
packages called "hands." Some of it
costs 10 cents a pound and some as much as

AN INTERESTING HEIRLOOM.
An Oak Chest and the Condition Attached
TO the Possession of 1t.

An Oak Chest and the Condition Attached
to the Possession of 1t.
Boston Courier.I
In certain Boston family there is an
heirloom which is both interesting. and, in
these degenerate days, most suggestive. 1t
is a dover chest of carved oak, not wholly
unlike-except that it is smaller-the chests
in which Venetian brides of old used to be-
stow their wedding outfit.
This dover chest has been in the family
nearly century, and in it the Oldest
daughter of the family is expected to hoard
the linen which she prepares against the
day of her marriage, much after the fashion
of German maidens. The one condition
attached to the possession of the chest is
that the girl owning it shall with her own
hands make every article put into it. The
will of the first owner provided that the
chest should descend only to daughters
of the house who would without assistance
do all the sewing on their outfit of household
linen. Thus far the condition has been
scrupulously observed; and thus far, also,
each owner Of the chest has, in passing it
on, left in it an elaborate piece OF embrold-
cred table linen.
In a time when the old-fashioned house
wifely arts have the reputation of being
neglected, there is something peculiarly
pleasant in the idea of the dover chest and
the way in which it has been carried out.
The fourth bride has within year taken it
to her new home, stored with linen and
damask, hemmed and embroidered by her
own fingers, which handle needle with
no less dexterity than they have been
trained by some of the finest masters in
Europe to fly over the keys of the piano.
The dover chest has become an institution
in which not only the possessor, but all her
family take a just pride, and skill in
needlework is hardly likely to die out in
that particular race as long as that carved
oak Golfer remains to exercise its benefcient
influence.

absolutely. The same effect upon woman
will be more fatal, since more essentially
uniovely is selfishness in her than in him.
Everything which tends to take women out
of their own homes is injurious to the world
at large. The employment of one class OF
women in workrooms, shops and factories,
the university training now bestowed on
another class, the constant stir and pub
hcity in which the highest class of all live
and move and have their being serve alike
to destroy the essential charm of women
and remove them from the sphere OF their
natural happiness and influence. Club LIE
will do this more and more, and will sub
stitute the hard glare of continual publicity
for that subdued light of home in which
women are at their best and happiest.
1t is for the convenience of the average
woman that female club world is about to
emerge into existence; and it is to the aver
age woman that its effects will be eventually
most baneful, it, at the commencement, 1t
may appear to offer her repose, amusement
and economy. 1t may fatter the vanity
and mslead the ignorance of the sex to
pass their lives in public dining, reading,
talking and letter writing in the peopled
rooms of club house, but it will not give
to them Miranda's charm, Desdemonas
tenderness, Juliet's passion nor Cornelias
virtue. OUIDA.

LOVELY WOMAN'S WAYS

Furnish n Text for Numerous Complaints
From Chronic GrumbIer.
A chronic grumbler met DISPATCH re-
porter, and sure of a sympathetic listener,
began unfolding his tale of woe. Said he:
Saturday night, about o'clock, I went
to the postofice to get half dozen stamps.
How long do you think it took me? Nine
teen minutes by the clock. The trouble?
Oh! the little space between the walls and
the window was just full of women-women
with market baskets, women with
bundles, women with babies and
women with umbrellas. They stepped
on my corns, elbowed me around as if had
no business there, and twisted me this way
and that until | thought never would get
out. A half dozen times, when got almost
up to the window, 1 stepped back a little
for some lady to be waited on, and three or
four women thrust themselves forward,
crowding against each other and pushing
me back. Without acting in a very i'll
hammered way 1 couldn't possibly get my
stamps sooner, though if each conner had
taken her turn in getting to the window all
night have been waited upon in half the
time.
''But il the women showed no respect for
a mans rights and privileges, neither did
they for those of each other. Men who want
to purchase stamps or tickets in a hurry
form line and take their turns. Women
do nothing of the kind, but each one tries to
get to the front first and pushes the smallest
and the weakest of the crowd out of the way
The dear creatures are very delightful at
home, no DOUBT, but not in a crowd of
strangers. Then they are ill-mannered
and make no attempts to conceal their rude
ness"
And the grumbler looked, as he uttered
the last word, like man firmly convinced
of the truth Of what he was saying. But
he must have been mistaken, of course.

NOVEL CURE FOR CORNS.

An Oil May Says Crude Petroleum Will Fix
Them Every Time.
"You are troubled with corns, are you?"
said Pittsburger to one of his friends who
walked with a peculiar, limping gait.
swell, everybody has remedy for them,
but the trouble with most of the remedies is
that they are no good without faith, and the
man afflicted with corns generally considers
his case hopeless. But l can tell you of
cure that is simple and effeetual. Soak the
afflicted portion of your feet for considera-
BILE time every night-the longer the better
in crude petroleum, then saturate cloth
with the same stuff, wrap it around your
toe, put your stocking on and go to bed. A
few nights of this treatment will cause the
corn to disappear.
II first heard of this remedy when was
living in the oil region, and of course 1
laughed at it. But little inquiry among
the men who worked about the tanks and
wells convinced me that they believed in it.
They said they were never troubled with
corns, and assured me that the frequent
wetting of their shoes in the ola thing
they cannot avoid in their occupation-had
the effect of driving all these troublesome
excrescences away. Try it and it will cure
you"
A DISPATCH reporter, who overheard
the above conversation, gives the prescrip-
tion for what it is worth, not vouching for
its curative powers.

grades and prices of both foreign and do
mestic tobaccos. There is also great differ

Of domestic tobacco. Soil, climate, rainfall
and drouth, each and all, have their effect
in adding to or detracting from the value of
the crop. The influence of soil is particu-
larly strong. Other conditions may be ever
so favorable, the plants may grow and
flourish luxuriantly, yet certain localities
can never raise good tobacco, because they
haven't the right kind of soil. The leaf
may be ever so fine in appearance and yet
totally deficient in the agreeable flavor
which makes it valuable. The climate and
'soil oil Cuba impart to the tobacco grown
there the qualities which have made the
word Havana famous among users Of the
weed all over the world.
The influence of soil upon the crop is so
great as to be noticeable in leaves coming

however long man may have been engaged

"And Sheeba has been melancholy ever

persisted. II believe you two have had

"Not we. You and Mr.. Pootle haven't
billed and cooed for three weeks Of your
honeymoon any more uninterruptedly than
we have for twice as many years. Our

"Oh. no" was Sheeba's smiling lie.

sufficiently to offer to relieve one of the

"And Winnie picked it up" was the Col

laugh like cocks crow.
He permitted Knox to take one handle Of

which the sharp, rough ascent necessitated,
he was apart with his father and Sheeba.
