Cigars That Are Expensive.

"How often does one see 'Vuelta Aba
jo' written and printed on cigar boxes,
and how seldom { es one obtain real
Vuelta Abajo cigarl
"Tell you the reason why? Certainly"
remarked the loquacious cigar man. ''In
the Abajo valley is a small, low piece Of
country about five miles from Havana,
capable of producing tobacco enough to
make about $4,000 cigars annually, or
about one-quarter of the number smoked
every six months in Washington. With
out question the tobacco is the finest
grown. The result is the kings and
noblemen of England, Russia, Germany,
France and the other European countries
gobble them up. Every single cigar made
of Vuelta Abajo tobacco is sold to them
at prices ranging from $50 to $3.50 hun
dred.
Americans would never pay that price,
especially when the $50 to $3.50 a hun
dred does not include the tariff, which
would make the poorest quality of these
cigars sell at AZ cents apiece at whole
sale. These cigars are bought and paid
for, too, by the way, long before the
crop is ever harvested. Manufacturers,
with that remarkable GOODNESS with
which some men are endowed, proceed
to call all qualities and kinds Of Cuban
cigars Havana and 'Vuelta Abajo,
when half of them never saw a cigar of
that growth. w ashington News

The neighboring grocers, bakers and
tinsmiths should be enlisted in the work,
for they can do much by their co-opera-
ton. The habits of the people should be
closely studied and friendly, and neigh
borly relations should be established
with them. Moreover, hot and cold wa
ter, which is such an invaluable blessing
in tenement house, should be freely
distributed by those in charge of the

Stories of the blunderS made by green
volunteers on guard duty are always in
order at the campfires of veterans of the
civil war. At such an occasion recently
a member of the middle Tennessee regi-
ment, which was commanded by Colonel
Gillen, told the following story:
For time We were stationed in the
city of Nashville, doing guard duty.
There was q raw recruit in our ranks
an Irishman and very good fellow
whom we all liked. He was bound to
be good soldier and had the strongest
desire to be efficient in all things.
One day he was put on guard duty on
one of the principal streets in the city.
He had never been in the same situation
and thought it his duty to challenge
every one who came along, just as he
would in camp.
By and by well dressed citizen ap-
preached.

"a citizen" answered the man.

grin.

Victims of Counterfeiters.

Some people," said James E. Curtis,
"are exceptionally unfortunate in the
matter of counterfeit bills. | am one of
them. For the life of me l never could
tell a decently executed counterfeit
from a good bill, and am frequently
victimized in consequence. Careful in
vestigation has led me to the conclusion
that it is dangerous to take change at 4
small window, especially when there is
O crowd clamoring for attention, and
have also noticed that keepers of small
stores are apt to innocently pass out
bogus money which has Eeen paid to
them Intentionally or by accident.
There is absolute safety 1T 4 bank, and
there is comparatively little danger IN
any large establishment not of migra
tory character which has an experienced
cashier. But have been placed in an
embarrassing position so often by trying
to pass paper received in all good faith
that l am getting very cautious about
getting change under the conditions
named.

ably forlorn district because l rendered

IRISH PARLIAMENT BUILDING.


The principal front looking toward
College green is colonnade in the Ionic
order, facade and two projecting wings.
This colonnade was IL years in building
and cost e12, 200. The house of lords is
in form rectangle 40 feet by 80, with a
recess for the viceroy's throne The
walls are magnifcently paneled, and the
design was for six great historic pictures,
but of these only two We're completed,
to the great chagrin and no small pecu-
mary loss of Robert Baillie, who had
gone to great expense in getting up the
designs. OF the two one represented
King William and his army crossing the
Boyne, and the other a scene during the
siege of Londonderry.
Together they cost but e43G, and it is
safe to say that one of the first acts of 4
real Irish parliament would be to order
both removed, for William of Orange
and Governor Walker OF Derry are not
their heroes One might as well expect
an American congress to glorify Lord
CORVALLIS and Benedict Arnold. And,
by the way, it is one Of the oldest things
in history that the word 90 Irishman" is
used with such reckless ignorance in
America Thousands of tolerably intel
ran ard Mitchell, Dean Swift and Arch
bishop Usher were Irishmen i'll the same
sense as the Burkes, the Sullivans and
the O'Connors. One might IS well
speak of Lincoln as an Illinois chief and
of Santa Anna as an Aztec.
OF truth, the so called Irish parlia-
ment of 1782-1S00 was no more Irish than
the one now sitting in London-much
less so, in fact, for this one contains
many Catholic and Celtic gentlemen,
and that contained not one. No Catholic
could sit in it. Neither could any Pres
byterian, Quaker, Baptist or agnostic.
1t represented by the best estimates only
one-eleventh of the people then living in
Ireland. 1t was the parliament of
minority Of the minority, representing
only the English and other Protestant
Episcopal landlords and leading men
resident in Ireland.
1t was in 1882 that Henry Grattan,
backed by the volunteers NEARLY all
Professionals, by the way. which had or
ganized to repulse French invasion,
achieved the SO called independence of
the Irish parliament. In truth, it had
su little power that discomfort rapidly
increased, and on Oct. II, 1871, Theobald
Wolf Tone organized the first society of
United Irish1ncn. The Gvowed object
was to make Ireland self governing by
a union Of Catholic, Protestant and dis
senter, but inside of this organization
grew up fiercely revolutionary party
of which Lord Edward Fitzgerald was
the leading spirit.
The British government, informed by
spies OF every move. forced the hand
of the patriots, and thus precipitated the
bloody instruction of 1898, which re-
suited in the destruction of 10000 Eng

HOUSE AS 1T IS TODAY.

The Mecca Of Irish PatriOts-The So Called
Free Parliament of 1ss2-18OO-How
TWAS Destroyed-Lord Cornwallis-The
Real Irish Parliament to Come
Every reading American has some gen
eral ideas of the noted Irish parliament
of 17s2-1s00-the ''free parliament" as
Irishnen call it, "Grattan's parliament
IS it is often known in history. 1t was
not Grattan's in any strict sense Of the
word, and 1t lacked very much of being
free, but it came a little nearer thereto
than its predecessor, and as the last par
lament in Ireland it has acquired fic-
titious glory. For nearly a century the
old parliament house has been occupied
by the Bank of Ireland, and recent events
have revived popular interest in it.
1t was ON Feb. 8, 1923, that the founda-
ton stone of the house of parliament
was laid by Lord Lieutenant Carteret
in the kings name with great ceremony
and full Masonic honOrs. In 1887 it was
completed, and in 1892 fire so far de-
stroyed the house of commons that it
was rebuilt in the form of an OctagOn,
with gallery for spectators. OF this
structure only the corridor remains, the
rest having been remodeled for bank pur-
poses, but the house of lords, used only
by the directors of the bank, remains al
most exactly as it was q century ago.
And to this day patriotic Irishmen still
gaze upon it with mingled feelings as
fancy colors the past and heightens the
glories of the days of Flood and Grattan,
of FitZgibbon, Plunket and Curran.

How best to relieve them is the serious ques-
ton which the officials are endeavortng to
solve. Suggestions, more or less practical,
are advanced, only to be rejected, but the
city officials have hit upon plan that will
give work to hundreds for some time to
come, and 1t is proposed to appropriate
large sum Of money TO employ mon In
various public improvements. A large force
has been at work cleaning the.upper Mystic
basin, and several hundred will be engaged
in crushing stone to ne used in the construc-
ton of the proposed improved highway
Every department superintendent in the city
has been notified to place as many men at
work ss possible. In the matter Of selecting
men, preference Is gyon to heads OF families

men will find relief in this direction. The

"Recent discoveries in Egypt and
Chaldea," says Mr.. Boscawen, "indi-
cate that, although the monuments
there carry us back about 5000 years
before the Christian era, they do not
constitute the limit of our resources of
history. They indicate the origin Of
these people to have been in Western
Persia. Kurdistan and Luristan show
more ancient remains than have been
studied in any part Of the world. The
old Babylonian civilization and Chi
nese civilization both came probably
from this region, and it may yet yield
us knowledge of times far earlier than
