Light and Dark Cigars.

Many cigarmakers think that the
time is approaching when it will be
necessary to charge more for light than
for dark-colored cigars. The queer
thing about it is that it is all whim,
caused chiefly by ignorance. People
imagine that light-colored cigar is
milder than black one, when the re-
verse is likely to be the case The
character of the cigar is determined far
more by the filler than by the wrapper,
and a light-colored cigar may have a
filling that would turn the stomach Of a
dromedary. There is just shade of
difference between a dark and a light
wrapper, but there are few experts
that can tell the difference blindfoIded.
So serious a matter has become this fad
for light-hued cigars that sellers have to
resort to artifce to keep their stock
well balanced. Most people have no
real preference, and if the merchant
throws out medium color will take it
without thinking about it, while if the
dealer asks him what color he wants,
he will, of course, choose a light one.
BY observing this little popularity of
human nature cigar dealers are able to
get rid of a good share Of their dark
cigars, but if the present mania con-
tinues our local manufacturers, who use
the darker colored Havana seed, will
find it necessary to raise the price on
the light-colored cigars. -,SprtnQfeld Re-

The Human Family.

The human family living on earth to-
day consists of about l, 450, 900, 900 souls
not fewer, probably more. These are
distributed literally all over the earth's
surface, there being no considerable
spot on the globe where man has not
found foothold. In Asia, the so-called
''cradle of the human race" there are
now about S00,000,000 people, densely
crowded, on an average of about 12O to
every square mile. In Europe there
are 320,0O0,000, averaging 100 to the
square mile, not SO crowded as Asia, but
everywhere dense, and in many places
over populated. In Africa there are,
approximately, 210,000,000, and in the
Americas-N Worth, South and Central
100000, these latter, of course. rela-
lively thiniy scattered over broad areas.
On the islands, large and small, there
are probably 100000 more. The ex-
tremes of the blacks and the whites are
as five to three, the remainder 0,000,-
600 intermediate, brown, yellow and
tawny in color. Of the entire race 500
900 are we'll clothed-that is, they
wear garments Of some kind that will
cover nakedness-250,0 00,0 600 habitually
so naked, and 700,000,0O0 only cover the
middle parts Of the body; 00,000,000
live in houses, 700, 100000 in huts and
caves, the remaining 1000, 600 virtually
having no place to lay their heads

A little public house, in which the
landlord and his customers have a
curious experience, stands on the
boundary line dividing the townships
of Darwen and Oswaldtwistle, Lanca-
shire. The boundary line runs directly
through the center of the hostelry, and
as there are public rooms on either side
Of the passage two licenses are neces-
sary. The publican is compelled to
close the DarWen side of the house at
10 o'clock every night, according to the
condition Of his license, but the Oswald
twistle license allows him to keep his
door open until II o'clock. In order
not to lay himself open to a prosecution
by Darwen, therefore, the landlord
when the clock chimes 10 compels his
customers to remove from the Darwin
to the OsWaldtwistle side of the house,
and closes the doors Of the early closing
portion. 1t is stated by the landlord
that he qualities himself for voting in
both townships by fixing his bed direct
" over the boundary line.

A Fiery Ghost,

A ghost that gets himself up in bril-
liant vesture of fame is creating a dis
turbance in the vicinity of Hameltown,
q suburb of Cincinnati. The scene of
his apparitions is an ancient log cabin,
which adjoins a dairy managed by a
reputable widow. A few nights ago
gardeners passing on their way to mar
ket noticed brilliant light in the cabin,
and thinking that it might be on fire
they went to awaken the people in the
dairy. To their horror, SO they say,
they could not pass the cabin to reach
the inmates Of the house, being held as
if spell-bound by some invisible power.
They were glad to retreat, and re-
gaining their wagons proceed on
their way to market. Since then
the bright light has been noticed by a
score of persons to whom the gardeners
told their experience. 1t has been seen
to come with wavy, dancing motion
from the adjacent cliffs, and passing
around the yard, over the house and
dairy barn, at last settles in the cabin,
where it remains for hours, then sud
denly disappears. When it is over the
dairy barn, the cattle are intensely ex-
cited, believing, and trying to break
loose from the ropes which confne
them to their stalls. The singular light
is in the shape Of man, and is sup
posed to be either the spirit of an old
pioneer who was killed by Indians in
the cabin when Cincinnati was village
or that of the proprietor himself, who is
not pleased with the way business is be.
ing carried on.
