Cigars Made From Stumps.
Atchison Globe.


The only wonder is that there is
not more smokers sore mouths, con-
sidering how so many so-called cigars
are made. In London a large sum is
paid by cigar manufacturers to the
proprietors of concert halls, beer
saloons and smoking rooms. All the
stubs of the cigars and cigarettes and
the old chewed mp quids are bought
from the proprietors of these places.
Others are picked out of the street,
dust and all. They are put together
in mass and treated to long soak
in water, SO as to get the juice out OF
them. Brown and dying chestnut
leaves are then STEPPED i'll the un-
savory liquid, dried, rolled up and
made into cigars. The microbes OF
every disease known to man are thus
conveyed into the mouth of all the
smoking world. There are probably
some disease germs that this tobacco
mercifully kills. 1t is to be hoped so,
at least.

Newspaper Statistics.


A publisher of statistical turn of
mind has been compiling some figures
about the newspaper business that are
astonishing. The total number OF
copies of newspapers printed III a single
year is twelve billion, a figure which
looks most imposing when set out in
numerals, thus, 10000, 100000. The
approximate weight of this mass of
paper is ISL ,24O tons, or 1862, ,4S0 600
pounds.
If the newspapers of the world
should consolidate it would take the
fastest press in the Journal plant
and it contains the fastest presses in
the world-a matter of 1888 years to
print the edition of one year. Folded
in the usual manner, and stacked on
end, the pile would be 27O,0OO feet, or
nearly fifty miles high.

Corbett Sets No Limits.

Champion Corbett," says a sporting
man, knows that it is unwise for a
fighter to prophesy the number of rounds
he will require in which to defeat an
opponent. Rounds are very uncertain,
for no one knows just when the oppor
tunity will come to finish a man. 1t
may be in the first round. and it may he
the one hundred and first. No one knows
of Fits ability as a defensive fighter
The lanky Australian has, as a rule,
forced matters i'll his contests. just how
well he can defend himself in corner
no one but he knows. Fitz may have a
line Of defense which, if he is forced to
use it, may be all but impregnable.
Corbett may wear him down, but that
takes time. Corbett says, that he is sat
istied with the mere statement of his
confidence of besting the Australian and
will let other persons figure out the ex-
act number of rounds he will do it in. I"
