LIGHT AND DARK COLORED CIGARS

Many cigar makers 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 a Whim, caused
chiefly by ignorance. People imagine
that a light colored cigar is milder than
blacker one, when tie reverse is likely
to be the case. TIE character of the
cigar is determined far more by the filler
than BY the wrapper, and a light colored
cigar may have filling that would turn
the stomach OF dromedary.
There is just shade of difference
between dark and a light wrapper, but
there are few experts who can tell the
difference blndfolded. SO serious a
matter has become this fad for light
hued cigars, that sellers have to resort to
artifice to keep their stock we'll balanced
Most people have no real preference, aud
if a merchant throws out d 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 hut if tie present mania continues
our local manufacturers, WHO Use the
darker colored Havana seed, will and it
necessary to raise the price on the light
colored cigars.

TO GET RID OF RATS,

One of our exchanges publishes the
following as a sure way to get rid of rats

They are generally too smart 20 eat

but they are not SO particular about

is mixed with any favoIi,e food they
will eat as greedily as though 9 physic
were not there, but in two or three hours
there will be the most disguised lot OF
rats that nybody ever saw. The tartar
will not kill them, only make them
deadly sick. Sometimes they will era "

UMBRELLAS FOR CLERGYMEN.

In country districts in Wales a custom
still exists of setting up chest in the
middle Of the chancel at the time of a
funeral, and before leaving the church
the mourners all file round and put their
offerings in. This is really intended for
the clergyman fee, but if the people are
poor, he often returns part OF ito q
widow, for instance.
There is at least one instance that it
was customary for the parish to provide
an umbrella for the use of the Clergyman
on public occasions, more especially at
funerals. The parish accounts of ST.
Johns, Chester, contain the following
entries:
