ocratie of Americans, Secretary Morton
had adopted coat of arms. Avoiding
all terms of heraldic sort, this coat OF
arms is the picture of wide-spreading
oak in full green leaf, and beneath it,
for motto, is written:
PLANT trees"
"And do you know" said Secretary
Morton, when speaking Of this coat of
arms the other day to a reporter Of the
Washington Star, II was not little
struck while journeying in Scotland
last summer, when l learned that the
crest of the Scotch house of Morton
was tree. began to wonder if, after

inherited from some forest-loving an

pathetic interest he has for human
being, and betrays all of that admira-

suggestor and author of Arbor day;

has been followed far and wide, as a
standing army of a million trees bear
witness. They might all have decayed,
or been eaten by a wormy death as
acorns, save for Morton and his Arbor

CIGARS IN BOTTLES.
A Queer Fad Which Is Growing In Popu-

larity Among Smokers.

promises 20 be as popuiar form of
salutation between friends as that in
which the invitation is extended to en-
Joy a moiety of a bottle Of champagne
And the cigar has the obvious advan-
tage of the liquor in the matter Of
price. Cigar dealers say the new style
of putting up cigars in bottles is taking
hold among smokers immensely. One
reason there is not larger sale of this
class Of gno1s e -.s~7 -:aSSy of the man.

nave not adopted it yet, going on the
theory, probably, that the reputation
of their product is sufficiently estab-
mourning the added trouble and ex-
pense of putting it up in glass bottles.
The idea of bottling cigars is not
new, says the Chicago Tribune, al.
though the present application OF it is.
1t really orieinss>s -1vn prominent
CUBAN clgarmaker twenty odd years
ago. The Cubans are like the Amer
leans, or, to be historically accurate,
the Americans are like the Cubans-
since we get our best cigars and our
ideas of how they should be smoked
from the islanders-in that they prefer
to smoke their cigars while they are
fresh. Age, according to this view,
produces in cigars result directly OPP
posite to its effect on wine, and it was
in order to preserve the aroma of the
subtle weed that this Cuban used to
seal up some of his choicest cigars in
glass cases. There were three cigars
in the case, or rather bottle. The end
of the bottle was softened by holding
it in a flame and then bent over and
Theoretically sealed while in this con-
dition, This device was too expensive
for popular adoption, and the average
American smoker took his cigars I'M
bottled until recently, when the old
idea was taken up and modified so as
to be practical and of general applica-
ton.
Each specimen of the higher priced
cigars has a tube all to itself This
tube is plugged up with a cork, and
the cork is made impervious to air by
coating of paraffine wax, so that when
the smoker uncorks his purchase he
finds it in precisely the same condition
in which it left the hands of the cigar
maker. Some small cigars, of about
the size Of a lead pencil, are put up in
punches and bottled. Careful cigar
dealers have always kept moistened
sponges In their show cases, but, I'M
less considerable skill is exercised, this
is liable to make the cigars too damp,
and even to produce mold. The prob
able effect of this new departure on
the glass industry when bottling be-
comes general may be judged from the
fact that the number of cigars con-
sumed annually in this country reaches
the astonishing total of five billion.
