CIGAR MAKING.

A writer who had visited large
cigar factory in Havana tells the N. Y.
Commercial 1Ad0ertiSe, On our
arrival the proprietor conducted US into
a large work-room in which upwards of
two hundred men were at word rolling
cigars. They were seated at long tables
each man having a small partitioned
space to work in. Looking over the
workman's shoulder | could watch the
entire process of making the cigar,
which is most simple. From a pile of
leaves in front OF him he selects good
specimen smooths it out with his hands
and trims one edge with knife, then
taking handful of leaves he rolls them
on the table, and having to certain
extent bound them together, places
them on the smoothed leaf and then
deity rolls the cigar, gradually tapering

MUSIC THAT TOUCHES THE HEART

An incident of peculiarly touching
character occurred in one of the eleva-
ted railroads trains that brought tears
to the eyes of the passengers. The
train had just left Oae Hundred and
Twenty-ffth street when the passengers
saw entering the Car little boy about
E years old, beng half pushed and had
carried by an older boy, evidently his
brother. At the first glance it was
seen that the little fellow was blind and
his eyelids had almost grown together.
He had pale wan face, but was smil-
ing. A quick look of sympathy passed
over the faces of the passengers, and
an old gray haired gentleman got up
and gave his seat to the two. The
"big BROTHER" who was about II years
old, tenderly lifted up the little blind
boy and placed him on his knee.
"How's that?" he asked.
"Nice," said the little chap. "Where's
my monica?"
This puzzled scme ofthe passeng ers,
and several turned to see what the child
meant. But the 'big brother" knew,
and Immediately drew out small
mouth harmonicon and placed it in the
little fellows hands. Both boys were
we'll dressed. The little fellow took
the instrument into his thin hands, ran
it across his lips and began to play
softly "Nearer, My God, to Thee
Tears came into the eyes of the old
gentleman who had given up his seat,
and as the little fellow played on, runn-
ing into Crock of Ages and "Abide
with Me-" there were many moist eyes
in the car. The little player seemed
to have a remarkably true ear and oc-
casionally, when the instruments would
rasp, he would turn sadly to his "big
brother" and said, "Don't whistle
The train rushed along, the passen-
gers listened and the little fellow played
on tirelessly, never missing note from
"Annie Laurie" or "Home, Sweet
Home" Finally the "blg brother"
leaned down and told the little one to
get ready to leave, as the train was ap-
preaching their station. Then, as if he
knew he had won a whole carload of
friends, the blind boy quickly changed
"The Swanee River" into "Auld Lang
Syne," and with one accord the passen-
gers burst into a round of applause,
while the "big brother" carried the lit
tie one out of the car.-Me1v York

Damaged Goods.

A good story is told of "Ben" an
Israehtish merchant of Ashville. On
the morning of the birth of a baby
daughter, he went down stairs and said
to his son jake, don't you want to go
up stairs and see your little new sister p
"Vot sister vos dat, fadder?" asked
the boy.
Ben took him up stairs and little
Jake was very much interested and
and inspected the new sister with grea,
admiration. Then he said:
"Fadder, where you got dat sister ~
"De Lord sent it, JhaKie."
"Vot is de matter mid dot eye
fadder7"
"Oh, noding is de matter mid da,
eye, Jake"
"On, yes, dere is, ladder !"
The baby was little cross, eyed, anc
Jake said:
"Fadder, before you pay dot bill
would bring in good big claim TO

the mouth end, and finishing it of
with touch of paste. Having then
neatly cat off the ends OF leaves at the
lighting end, the cigar was finished
the whole occupying less than five
minutes.
As regards the shape of the cigars,
some men making special patterns for
the English markets, of shape call-d
"roundhead." These were of nearly
equal thickness all along being rounded
at the end. For the American markets
a pattern is made thick in the middle
and taperlng to a point. In conner
of the room were bales of tobacco, all
marked with the names of the neigh-
boring estates from which they came.
All were being sorted and separated for
issue to the different workmen. Before
being placed in boxes they are stored in
cupboards for few days for drying
purposes they are then collected in
trays and taken to the "Doxirg" room.
Here they are neatly packed in cedar
boxes and a cigar the outside leaf of
which was at all imperfect was put
aside.
The boxes, when filled, are marked
with the firms name, the name of the
cigar, ETC., and are labelled with gor-
geously gilt designs. The workmen are
paid by the number of cigars they
make each day, no matter the quality
Of leaf used; they smoke as many as
they like as they work, though but few
of them were doing so: also every
evening they take away six cigars for
their own disposal. A good workman
may make as much as 4I day One
man, negro, was pointed out to US
making on an average IS shillings
day. During working hours, from
platform at one end OF the room, a
man reads aloud to the men; in the
forenoon he reads the morning papers,
in the afternoon novel. This man is
paid by the workmen.
AS regards the disposal OF the cigars,
when finished, most of them were at
once shipped off to London or New
York, though as many as required could
be purchased on the spot. We were
told that during the late visit of the
Russian man of-war, her officers had
laid in as many as $4,000 cigars,
mostly for officers serving at home.
There are nearly 200 cigar manufac-
torres in Havana, some employing over
400 hands. As each factory is taxed
bI year for every man employed, it
will easily be seen TO what great exc
tent they contribute to the revenue OF
the island.

a CAT SAVES A LIFE.
Mr.. A. H. Postel Awakened In Time TO
Escape Death By Fire.

Mr.. A. II. Posfel Awakened In Time TO
Escape Death By Fire.
LANsDowNE, June ia cat this morn
ing saved the life of A. d. Postel, whose
handsome residence was destroyed by fire.
Mr. Postel owns an intelligent Maltese cat,
named Freddy, which has always had the
privilege of sleeping in his bedroom. Shortly
after o'clock Mr.. Postel was awakened by
the cat paving the bedclothes. He dressed
hurriedly and rushed to the stairs, but was
forced back by the flames. He then got
onto the porch roof from the front window
and jumped to the ground. Mr.. Postel's
family was fortunately away, as the fire
spread so rapidly that, if they had been
home, it would probably have cost some of
them their lives.
As soon as the neighbors were aroused
they organized bucket brigade, and Mr..
E. V. Kane telephoned to tie city for fire
engine, which did not come. At that time
the wind was driving the flames directly up
on the residences of Mr.. Phipps and David
Garrett, while those of F. NJ. Longstreth,
f. L. Archambault, Mrs. Mary Maxis, Jo-
seph S. Vansant and E. V. Kane were also

and the adjoining properties were saved.
