Meinheer Jansen.

The man who by proxy Is the father
of the 5-cent cigar that is smoked ev-
cry day by millions of Americans Is
Meinheer Jansen, Of Amsterdam, Hol-
land, the dictator of the worlds tobac-
co market. 1t was he who discovered
the value Of Sumatra leaf as wrap
pers' for cigars filed not only with
American but Havana tobacco. He is
16 years old.
Mr.. Jansen, while not the discoverer
of the fact that the Island of Sumatra
produced a very superior leaf tobacco,
one curiously well fitted for use as cigar
wrappers, was the first to appreciate
the value Of the dscovery-made by n
countryman Of his-and to encourage
plant in Sumatra. 1t was he who broke
the domination Of the Havana plant
ers in the cigar trade. 1t was he who
made it possible for the tobacco smok-
er of ordinary means to procure a CT
gar of excellence at price that fitted
his purse. To-day the larger proper
ton of cigars smoked all over the
world are wrapped with the smooth.
iine-veined leaf grown on the Island Of
Sumatra. 1t is that leaf that made it
possible to utilize American-grown to-
bacco in the manufacture of domestic"
cigars, and it was its Introduction to
this country that laid the foundation
for the immense domestic cigar trade,
a trade which employs thousands of
men and in which millions Of American
capital are invested.

Meat-EatiDg and Temper.

Mrs. Ernest Hart, who accompanied
her husband In his recent trip around
the world, appears to come to the con-
clusion that meat-eating Is bad for the
temper. In the Hospital she says
that In no country is home rendered so
unhappy and life made so miserable by
the ill-temper of those who are obliged
to live together rs in England. If we
compare domestic life and manners in
England with those Of other countries
tegral article of diet, notable improve
ment will be remarked. In less meat
eating France urbanity Is the rule of
the home; in fish and rice eating Japan
harsh words are unknown, and an ex-
quislte politeness to one another pre-
walls even among the children who play
together in the streets. In Japan 1
never heard rude, angry words spoken
by any but Englishmen. / am strong
ly of opinion that the lll-temper Of the
English is caused in a great measure
by too abundant meat dietary, COM
bined with n sedentary life. The half
oxidized products of albumen circu-
lating in the blood produce both mental
or moral disturbances. The health
full thing to do is to lead an active and
unselfish life, on moderate diet, suf-
ficient to maintain strength and not in
crease weight.
