The costliest cigar smoked in New York
is said to be Havana Henry Clay, which
is usually sold wrapped in gold or silver
foil, and which costs 81 % apiece at re-
tail. As to the cost of the manufacture of
such cigar manufacturer says that it is
wholly impossible to make a cigar whose
actual cost, with the use of the choicest
and most costly material throughout, can
exceed % cents. The cigar retailed in
the market for 81 costs the manufacturer
about Is cents. There is a small added
item of expense in stamping, and the box
ing may be made more or less costly, but
even with these added it will be seen that
the profit on the higher grade of cigars is
immense.

CONTEST OF TELEGRAPHY.
The Crack Senders of New York to Com
pete for Prize.

The Crack Senders of New York to Com
pete for Prize.
From the New York sun
/ see that the two great patrons Of teleg-
raphy, Walter 2. Phillips and Fred. Cat
lin, are arranging for a tournament in
which the best known fast-sending opera
tors in the country are to compete. Mr..
Phillips was famous operator Just after
United Press. Mr.. Catlip is very fast
sender himself, and is one of the chiefs of
the Western Union Company. All the
crack local senders, such as John Robson,
Frank kim, James Bradt, John g. Nc
Closkey, William Gibson and Charles w.
Miner have already entered the lists. An
effort will probably be made to have the
swiftest of the women operators go into
the contest. The tournament will be held
in the Western Union building, and there
is good deal of speculation among the
5000 or 1000 operators in the city as to
the result. Robson won the first prize in
the last tournament three years ago, max
ing record which has never since been
equaled-ffty words a minute for ten con-
secutive minutes. Years ago when Cen
eral Eckert, "Bob" Martin and Mr.. Phil
lips were the 'crackajacks," they told
great stories of fast sending. Martin, the
only one Of the trio who has held his
grip" went into the last tournament, but
though he made good showing, he could
not hold the pace the young fellows set
him. Robson is the favorite for the COM
ing contest.
Probably the best sender that ever
touched key was William J. Curtis.
have known men to stand for hours over an
instrument that was carrying his sending
Perfect sending is as sweet music to man
who loves telegraphy as the strains of
standard opera, and Curtis is to this day
extolled by the men who worked with
him as the ideal operator. see him on
Broadway occasionally. He gave up tel
egraphing some time ago, and is now
quite prosperous. But the fast senders
are not the men who are the most desir-
able operators. The man who can re-
ceive the fast sending is the one who
gets the credit. The operator who has
both accomplishments and is intelligent
can always get employment with one of
the great press associations at salary
from 20 to 80 per cent. above what he
would receive from telegraph company.
Though women have become quite factor
in the telegraph world, few have ever
attained prominence. OF the thousand
in the city to-day, not twenty-five would
be rated frst-class. They learn more
quickly than do boys or men, but they
seem to lack the two great requisites for
full development-high nervous energy
and strong will power.

No Prize 5.

From an article on Suggestions for the
Next Worlds Fair" by George Berger,
Director-General OF the Paris Exhibition,
We quote the following "The question of
recompenses calls for considerable simplifi-
cation of the practice in former exhibi-
tions. 1t is my deliberate opinion that
there should be no more international ju-
ries to judge the products on exhibition
and to award prizes. A'out all exhibitors
of standing have already received premi-
ums at one or other of the many universal
exhibitions which have followed one an.
other during the past forty years. The
fear of not securing awards equal or shpe-
rior TO past successes, or of failing to be
ranked. as beyond competition owing to
service as members of the jury, would
have the effect of keeping away many pro-
ducers without whose presence the United
States exhibition would fall short of the
brilliancy and the interest which ought by
good right to characterize il. 1t is my
judgment that the juries of admission to
the exhibition, in the United States and
all other countries taking part, should be
SO organized as to assure their action at
once with great strictness and with perfect
Impartiality.
The principle must then be established
that the admission itself to exhibit is in
the very beginning a recompense, or at
least an acknowledgment of merit to the
exhibitor, who will afterward receive fur
Their recompense in the appreciation of his
products by the public, as well as in the
business which will accrue, and the orders
that will come to him. | may add that
the terms of the general report Of the ex-
hibition, which might be drawn up by an
international committee of men represent
ing all specialties and taking the place of
former juries, will place in their proper
light any industrial or artistic excellences
to which the admiration of the public,
founded. as it is, often on mere appear
ances, may not have rendered full justice.
1t is not practicable that future exhibitions
should offer TO manufacturers, artists, agri-
culturists. anything more than an oppor-
tunity TO bring forward their works for
comparison with those of their fellows in
foreign lands--a comparison platonic, in
deed, in theory, but in practice full of In
struction, of warning and of revelation |
cannot urge the American Commissioners
too strongly to weigh carefully my opinion
in this, shaped as ii is by experience.
advise, however, that a diploma Of adj
mission and commemorative medal be
awarded to every exhibitor"

HAPPINESS.

''Thou shalt be happy!' So told my heart
One Summer morning many year ago;
'Thou shalt be happy; thou shalt have thy part
OF mirth and feastings in the great worlds
Thou shalt have health and wealth, high fame
Thy place shall be with those who sit above
Thou shalt have sunshine on the dullest days,
And. best of all, my heart, thou shalt have
Thus in the morning of thy days, I spake
Unto my heart, and gladly it replied:
1.-The world is all before us, we can make
Joy for ourselves never ebbing tide"
So we set out my heart and L. in mirth,
To seek for happiness-upon the earth.
God gave us health and wealth, and we were
Thus, for a season, waiting joys to come;
God gave us fame and praise little sad
We were, my heart and l. amid the hum
OF voices lauding us, till one more dear
Than all the rest, spake gentle words and
Then we grew jubilant with right good cheer,
And happiness came on with flying feet,
Drew near-but passed. Alas my heart and /,
. We could not hold the err radiant d wanderer fast.
Was ours; one precious look-the first, the
last.
She will RETURN we eaid, with loves new birth,
There must be happiness for us on earth.
We lost fair health. my heart and I, and fell
Sore sick; were sorrowful, found dreary
ways.
We lost our wealth, and none drew near to tell
OF comfort waiting us in better days.
But where is happiness? Alacki we find
She is ours to beckon as we list:
We have no magic spell wherewith to bind
This rare, bright visitant to earth We missed
The royal road to happiness; but low
Something is saved us from the wreck of all;
We have content, though doubtful blessings go,
And peace entwines our crosses great and
SMALL
We learn, my heart and I, the worlds true
WORTH
And seek for happiness-but not on earth.
