On that OF Cardinal Leopold (the

on his finger jacinth set In enamel.
The dried bones Of Victoria della Ro-

POINTS ABOUT CIGARS.
moderate Priced Domestic Va. the Cheap
Imported Article.

Moderate-Priced Domestic Va. the Cheap
Imported Article.
Some people have an absurd notion
that an imported article is NECESSARILY
better than domestic or homemade
one, and this idea extends to cigars.
A high-priced imported cigar bought
OF an honest dealer Is almost invaria-
bly, good, but those who call for
''three-for-a-quarter imported get
very little for their money. and far
less than II they took domestic cigars.
The reason Is this: The duty ON
cigars is $3.50 per pound weight and
20 per cent ad valorem, while the
duty on tobacco is only 35 cents a
pound. II Is clear. then. that i'm
ported cigars sold at 81 cents each can
not have cost ms much as $50 n thou
sand 10 Cuba. whereas the domestic
three-for-a-quarter should have cost
k55 or 900 at the factory. The preiu-
dice Is due TO the fact that no one
seems TO be able to make a cigar so
well as u native Cuban. But now
many OF the leading factories OF New
York. Key West and Tampa are owned
by Spaniards. who employ many Gu
ban workmen. and hence there il less
difference than ever between a good
cigar made OF imported tobacco in
this country and an imported
cigar; in fact the princi-
pal difference Is that the Amer
lean made article Is larger
aud contains more high-grade tobacco.
Good cigars. particularly those which
are handmade throughout. are very
seldom favored artiHcially. the secret
lying In the selection and blending of
pure leaves Thus there Is tobacco
grown In Ohio called the Little Dutch.
A cigar made OF this would be too
strong TO be good smoking. but II is
Invaluable for fiavoring purposes. But
It Is well known that there re very
Few nickel cigars which are not fla
vored. They are made wholly or In
great part by machinery. n machine
Tor doing even the rolling having been
perfected. Cheap grades OF tobacco
are used. and instead of the blending
process. chemical essences, not neces-
sarily injurious. are used. These are
supplied In highly-concentrated form.
one gallon mixed with three gallons OF
alcohol and reduced with water suffi-
cient TO spray enough tobacco TO make
perhaps a hundred thousand cigars.
Young smokers are readily deceived
by these aavors. and cinnamon
cigars are quite often asked for. though
no one ever heard OF cinnamon tobacco.
Occasionally opium Is used for flavor.
} Ing. but good houses discourage it II
produces longing effect. and the more
smoked the more 1t is wanted; but the
craving Is not produced by tobacco. =

consideration for distant generations

They would note that California
supposed 10 be the most absorbed In
material gain OF all our States-had In
Its first years reserved the unequaled
Yosemite canyon and the magnificent
groves OF the last fossil vegetation,
the sequoim OF Mariposa and CAL
averas for all future generations. New
York had protected and saved from
vandalism its wonderful falls. and the
United States had set apart forever
the greatest natural curiosity OF the
con lincnt-the Yellowstone cany on
and its marvellous geysers. At the
date we are supposing a population OF
200. 900. 900 will probably be thronging
our cities and towns and villages.
Every breathing spot and place OF
recreation and health and object OF
natural beauty will be visited by vast
throngs OF people. especially in the
seaboard States. One can but feebly
imagine the gratitude OF that genera

provision for their comfort and health
as would be made by the proposed
park In the Adirondack Wilderness.
II would be more than priucely pro-
vision made by the people for the peo-
Pile forever. Such great and luxuri-
Gus arrangements are common In
Europe. designed by Kings and Kais-
ers for the pleasure and enjoyment OF
their royal descendants.
This would be grand hunting and
pleasure ground. embracing mountains
and valleys, covered with the ancient
forest, and pierced by innumerable
streams and lakelets filled with trout
and other fish, given by the citizens
OF one State in the American Union to
their descendants and fellow citizens
for all time. The air and elevation
alone would make it perpetual sani-
tarium and pleasure resort. But cared
for by public gamekeepers. tho forest
preserved by official guardians, this
grand hunting ground would be q
place OF sport and amusement forever
for the masses OF the Eastern States.
