THE emperor of Germany smokes
no cigars except those specially man
ufacturod for him. They are proba-
bly, no better than many others that
he might buy. but special cigars
seem to be fad among the crowned
heads, as well as some that would
like to be crowned. The prince of
Wales also has brand that is manu-
featured exclusively for him. II one
of the cigaret.c-smoking chappies
of New York should be presented
with one of these he would likely ex-

FURNISH NEWSPAPER CLIPPINGS.
The business Has Grown to Great Proper
tiOns IN New York.


tiOns IN New York.
There is peculiar industry in Goth
am which has grown to astonishing pro-
portions. This is the business of furnish
ing newspaper clippings to individuals,
firms and corporations. There are half q
dozen Of these concerns in New York,
which supply customers not only in the
United States, but in all parts Of the
world. One Of these newspaper clipping
bureaus received an order from the Ea-
waiian government to send Presidec.
Dole all the notices, editorials, cartoons
and other published matter regarding
Hawaii, its government and its affairs.
Every prominent author, actor, poll
tician and professional man is now u
subscriber to one or more Of the clip
ping bureaus, and Il busy man finds tho
system very convenient. for he is ona-
blCd. - it were, to read his newspapers
by proxy.
The rlanager Of q New York clipping
bureau in speaking of the pcculiarities
Of his business said yesterday: Many
Of our customers are folks with fais
and hobbies. A man sent Us an order
recently for all items about two headed
calves, three legged chickens and other
monstrosities. a leading politician Or
dered 100 Memorial day addresses, from
which he could compile Fourth OF ,Ju-
y Grafton which he had engaged to de-
liver. Society bellies are beginning to
make scrapbocks Of their newspaper
notices, and tho custom will doubtless
become regular social lad in time.
Tho wives Of public men are among the
best patrons OF the clipping bureaus.

grow tobacco. II is doubtful whether
any other agricultural product. cX-
cept wheat or corn, is grown in so
many widely separated localities in
the United States. The fact that it
is cultivated over so vast territory
seems to indicate that it will be many
days before the consumption of this
product will cease Notwithstanding
the feeling of many well intentioned
people that it will end in the near
future.
