ONE WAY TO MAKE BIG PROFITS.
Merry Practices of Cigar Manufacture
ers In Duplicating Standard IRA nds.

Merry Practices of Cigar Manufacture
ers in Duplicating Standard brands.
From the Chicago Times
Let me have two of these" said Gus
toner at the cigar counter of a prominent
downtown hotel yesterday as he pointed
his index finger at a box of perfectos
marked twenty-five cents each. He had
smoked cigars of the brand designated by
the label on the box before-it was a stand
ard importation--and he supposed that he
knew just what he was getting, although
he had not purchased these goods from
that particular counter before. Yet in the
purchase Of those two cigars he was de-
ceived to a certain extent, and he did not
know it. He had just bought from IL
dealer who had practiced what is known
by the trade loading or dumping,
beth of which terms are used in one par
ticular process. And, while this process
defrauds the smoker, he really gets as
good cigar as he anticipated made of i'm
ported goods, but manufactured in this
country.
The secret and profit in dumping" is
easily explained A retailer buys two
boxes of standard imported perfectos for
Instance. They cost him S11O per 1,UtO or
seventeen cents each. and sell for twenty
five cents each, realizing the proportonate
profit on an imported cigar. In the mean
time he makes arrangements with local
manufacturer. who makes a business of
supplying this class of trade, to make him
LOCO cigars of imported tobacco in exactly
the same shape and size that which he
has paid $40 per 1000 for. The local man.
ufacturer has made this work a study, and
duplicates the imported perfecto at $11O per
1,G0. and packs them SO that they can be
slipped into the boxes formerly occupied
by the standard importation. Thus the re-
taller sells a perfecto shape made of inn
ported tobacco to his customer as an i'm
ported cigar.

Against the Law.


The material is fully as good as that in
the imported manufactured article, but the
workmanship is not quite as good. But the
average smoker does not know the differ
ence and many men who think that they
are smoking imported perfectcs today are
getting them out of loaded boxes In
this transaction between the retailer and
the manufacturer the utmost secrecy has
to be preserved, as it is against the law to
use cigar box the second time, defraud-
ing the government of the revenue repre-
sented by the stamp that should be used
on every box of cigars. But the difference
in the profit is so great, and the difference
in the cigar SO little between a foreign
made perfecto costing $40 per loo ana a
domeStlc-nlade cigar of similar size, shay pc,
and goods at SllO, that the local dealer is
often tempted to run the risk of the pen
atty that Uncle Sam iniiicts or the loss @:
trade should an exposure be made.
Fourteen cents profit on one cigar instead
of 8 cents is a big inducement to some
dealers. The method of filing old box
with new cigars is trick that requires
care and experience. To transfer fifty ci-
CARS ION one box to another and not de-
stroy the appearance Of perfect packing is
some hing that can be done only by those
who know how to do it. 1t Is generally
performed with two pieces of bristol card
board bent at right angles.
These are slipped into the two ends of
the box that is to be dumped" and. while
the pieces of cardboard protect the ends
OF the bunch from breaking, the other
erds of the cardboard are bent to cover
the top layer of the box. Then the box is
turned upside down and it's contents re-
moved into the two pieces of cardboard
without a break in the bunch. The box
formerly used for the imported perfecto Is
then slipped over the bunch while under
the protection OF the cards. Thus the

In the Cheaper Grades.

While the better grade OF goods has been
taken for an illustration, the trick and de-
ception applies proportionately to cheaper
standard goods, and was practiced very
largely last summer at the hundreds of
cigar stands in the worlds fair district.
Even boxes of standard domestic goods,
the labels of which should insure a smoker
a good cigar, were loaded with cheaper
grades of goods in hundreds of instances
Thousands of smokers paid 10 cents for a
cigar last summer that was taken from
box bearing the brand Of a standard ten
CENTER" yet the cigar they really got was
deliberately made by other manufacturers
to be dumped into these standard brand
boxes, to be sold for 10 cents each, while
the grade of the material was such that
over the retail counter they should not
have brought more than a nickel each,
and would be high priced at that.

The Stars pound party idea caught the
Georgetown people heart and soul, and the

evidence of this. The big reading room at

The Russian government, in order to
prevent the abuses caused by physi-

classes-those with more than fifty
thousand inhabitants, those having
from five thousand to fifty thousand
and those of less than five thousand.
The patients are also divided in three
classes: The first including capitalists,
proprietors, manufacturers, etc; the
second, members of the liberal profess

Doom Of witty Frenchmen.

"Great wits are sure to madness near
allied. " The doom of witty Frenchmen
who cater to the amusement Of the pub
lie seems to be the madhouse. Daumier,
the greatest Of French caricaturists, kept
his mind by throwing away his pencil
and retiring TO vegetate in the country.
Gill, Grevin, Guy de Maupassant died
lunatics. 1t is now the turn Of Jules
Jouy, the comic singer. who sang with
irresistible fun his exquisitely finished
ditties As they dealt with current
events, he was always ON the lookout 20
give a fresh and comical turn to events
not too hacLneyed. His anti-Paulus
music hall campaign against General
Boulanger made him suddenly famous
Yyette Guilbert and the Coquelins found
themselves eclipsed. The salons follow
ed Montmartre in lionizing him. AT the
end Of a few seasons he was rich and
famous But he fancied it was harder to
keep than to win fame, worried, tretted,
oyerstrained his Wis comica, and is now
under restraint. London Truth.

The Weight of Hay.

Compact timothy hay requires about
500 cubic feet to weigh ton (considera.
bly, more, perhaps 700, as it is brought
from the tield), but the quantity will
vary with the pressure caused by the
height of the NOV and with the age OF
the grass when cut, ripe and stiff grass
yielding less under pressure and requir-
ing more in bulk to weigh ton. Stif
coarse hay will be found to weigh les
than fine and flexible hay, which will
pack solid. The quantity VIC have stated
is fair average for we'll settled hay,

The story runs that Adam took with
him from Eden as staff branch Of the
tree of knowledge-in fact, tbs very
branch that bore the fatal apple Daring
his wanderings he reached Jerusalem, He
thrust the staff in the ground, and it grew
and became a tree from which the cross
was fashioned. Thus the same wood bore
that which brought sin into the world and
him who overcame it and redeemed the
world from it's sway.
Some say the wood of the cross was
from the aspen tree and since then it's
leaves forever tremble with remorse and
fear. The mistletoe, according to another
legend, was once sturdy tree, but having
furnished the material for the cross it
was aocursed and became weak parasitic.
