and of the persistent monarchist inter-
ruptions Senior SalmOren was COM

Senior Sagasta, the premier, then rose

Curious italian Cigars.

A curious cigar seen in the Italian
quarter of the city, where it is made
and sold, is about Z e inches in length
and very slender, being not much big
ger around than an all tobacco cigarette
and almost uniform in size for the
greater part of its length. At the end
that is placed in the mouth this cigar is
made around a piece of straw an inch
and half in length, which projects
about a quarter of an inch clear of the
tobacco When the cigar is made, a
broom splint long enough to reach al
most to the lighting end of the cigar is
run through the straw, and the cigar is
made around that. The broom splint is
cut long enough so that quarter or
half an inch of it projects clear of the
straw mouthpiece.
When the cigar is to be smoked, the
broom splint is withdrawn. The open
ing through it where the splint was
makes the cigar draw freely. and the
section of straw at the slender end
keeps the cigar open there. These
cigars, made Of strong, dark tobacco.
are sold at retail for cent each. New

Pearls.
Electricity

Pearls, the costly product Of the pearl
fish of the Persian gulf, are obtained
from the bed of the sea by divers, who
bring up as many of the oysterlike shells
as they can and then place them in
heaps on the shore covered with sand.
They are left for several days while the
fish decay and the shells open, after
which the sand is sifted and the pearls
found They are then cleansed and pol
ished The value of the pearl depends
ON its size, roundness, color and bright
ness. The most renowned pearls were
the two which formed Cleopatra's ear
rings, one of which she dissolved in a
goblet of vinegar and drank TO the
health of her guest, Mark Antony.
The remaining pearl became the prop
erty of the Emperor Augustus, who had
it cut in two for earrings for his daugh-
ter Julia Another historic pearl records
a similar act of extravaganza nearer our
own time. 1t is said that at a banquet
given to Queen Elizabeth on the open
ing of the Royal Exchange Sir Thomas
Gresham ground precious pearl to
powder and drank it in goblet Of wine
to the health of his royal guest. Chi

The Effect of Wind on Lakes,

Attention has been called to the very
remarkable effect of the wind on vari-
Gus inland bodies of water 1t is not
unusual for the residents in towns on
the shores of lakes to be greatly incon-
venienced, provided a heavy wind blow
ing on shore continues for any length of
time In the Baltic sea the level has
been altered for upward of eight feet.
Sometimes the water is blown out Of a
channel, leaving it almost dry In one
instance depression of six feet oc-
Cured on one side Of body of water,
with a corresponding rise of six feet on
the other. Lake Erie has been known to
alter its level a distance of l5 feet on
account of heavy winds, and Lake
Michigan was at one time the subject
of considerable interest from the same
cause. The wind was heavy and contin-
uous and piled the water up on one
side, while the other was so low that
people walked out upon rocks where in
the memory of man no feet had ever
trodden. New York Ledger

Commerce of the Philipnines.

The commerce of these islands has
been estimated by some authorities at
$50, 600, 600 a year, but it is probably
much greater, the chief exports being
sugar, tobacco and hemp. OF Manila
cigars the yearly product is several hun
dred million one factory alone employ
ing 10, 900 hands, and of Manila hemp
the yearly product is probably 200, 600
tons. One factory in Manila produces
40, coo, 600 cigarettes in a single year
The imports are also of enormous
value The United States sends the
Philippines chiefly Kerosene oil and
-four, while England. Germany and
France sell them print cloths, white
drilling, hardware, canned goods, etc
There are other large towns in the
islands but most of the imports are
landed at Manila and are shipped to
them by local steamers. One company
alone has 81 steamers engaged in local
and coastwise trade, their ships ranging
in size from 500 to 5000 tons. Isaac
