TO ENJOY A CIGAR.

But Few Men Ever Get the Very Best Pos
sible Results.
personal observation has taught
me-" said a Cuban cigar dealer to a
Star reporter, "that not one person in a
hundred knows how to smoke q cigar
to enjoy it thoroughly. For instance,
most men, after buying their cigars,
stick them between their teeth and
gnaw the ends off recklessly, thereby
tearing and loosening the wrapper.
Then they light their cigars and puff
away as if their very lives depended
upon finishing them in hurry. Thus
treated the finest cigar will burn irreg-
ularly, and the smoker will, nine times
out of ten, lay the bill ne On the cigar.
The cigar may be to blame, but in most
cases the fault lies in the way it has
been handled.
"After cigar has been bought the
end should be cut smoothly off by a
clipper or sharp knife. The reverse end
should then be placed in the mouth and
the cigar blown through. This removes
all the little PARTICLES of dust which
cannot be avoided in the manufacture
and prevents them from being inhaled
into the throat and from producing
coughing. The cigar should then be
lighted, and particular attention should
be paid to it's being thoroughly ignited
all over the surface of the end. Then
instead of putting away like a steam en-
CINE the smoker will find that three or
four puffs every minute make the best
way to enjoy the cigar. The smoke
should be kept in the mouth short
time in order to appreciate the flavor of
the tobacco. Then it should be emitted
slowly.
''In case one side Of the cigar should
burn and leave a ragged edge ON the
other side it is not necessary to relight
it, as I often see many people do. A
gentle blow through the cigar toward
the lighted end will ignite the ragged
side, and it will burn regularly. Smok-
ing this way is pleasure. 1t hets me-
to see a man smoking cigar who does
not know how to enjoy it, and I often
feel like giving him few words Of adj
vice and would do so were it not for
the fear of offending him. ''-Washing-

THE TROUBLESOME DUST.

The bane Of the ideal housekeeper's

= study of scientists for century.
.When beam of sunlight enters a
.darkened room, it can be seen along it's
whole COURSE" says one writer. 1.-THE
light is reflected to every side and made
10 reach the eye by the dust in the air
of the room. We do not see the sun
beam, but the dust which is illumined
by it. AS unimportant as this curious
stuff seems, it plays conspicuous part
i'm nature It is what makes the sky ap-
near blue. and when we look at the sky
we see the dust illuminated by the sun.
Light goes through all the gases-the
dust catches it, reflects it in every di-
rect;on, and so causes the whole atmos-
phere to appear clear, in the same way
that it makes the sunbeam visible in
the dark room.
"Without this strange, wonderful
dust there would be no blue sky. It
would be as dark or darker than on moon
less nights. The glowing disk of the sun
would stand Immediately against the
black background, thus producing blind
ing light where the SUMS rays fall and
deep black shadows where they do not.
1t is to dust that we owe the moderately
tempered daylight adapted to our eyes,
and it is dust that contributes to the
beauty of the scenery. The finest dust
gives the blue tone to the sky, while the
coarser kind produces an almost black
appearance.

Dor If there be only little dust, all
the vapor is precipitated upon it, and
SO loads the clouds with water that they
sink in heavy drops to the ground.
Without dust the vapor would penetrate
houses, making everything mold with
damp. We should feel upon going out
that our clothes were becoming saturat-
ed and umbrellas would be a useless
protection. 1t is hard, indeed, to con-
ceive how different everything would
be if there were no dust. This trivial
common stuff has its considerable part
in the processes of nature, and there is
much OF tie " onderful and mysterious
concealed in its filmy particles. DE-

Appendices Appendicitis.

The staff Of medical institution in
this city were nonplused day or two
since when they undertook to perform
all operation for appendicitis. After a
careful and minute search among the
contents of the abdominal cavity no ap-
pendix could be found. There was in
fammation and adhesions and all sorts
of trouble with other organs, but ap-
pendix there was none, and SO no ap-
pendicitis. This, however, is not likely
to interfere with the appendicitis bust
ness, for there were lots of other super
fuous things which, in the absence Of
an appendix, were removed, and the
desired result was obtained.-Portland

Human Nature In the Storage.

H. Phelps Whitmarsh writes of 1.-THE
Steerage Of Today" in The Century.
Mr.. Whitmarsh, who crossed the ocean
in the steerage himself, says: To me
the most noticeable thing about the life
was the ease with which the yoke Of
civilization was thrown off. If condi-
tions be favorable, l opine that large
proportion of the steerage passengers
throw back to their Darwinian ancestry
about the third day out. Away from
home, country and religious influences,
unrestrained by custom and convention
atty, bound by no laws of action and
separated from all that force of opinion
SO strong in the world ashore, they let
themselves go and allow their baser ma
sickness left them than they growl and
snarl over their food like dogs scram-
bling for the choice pieces and running
off to their hunks with them; they
grow quarrelsome; their talk is lewd
and insulting; brute strength is in the
ascendant, and, without shame, both
sexes show the animal side of their ma

are the filthy habits into which many
of them fall. The sea seems utterly to
demoralize them. Some of them will
remain for days in their berths, where,
without changing their clothes, they
eat, sleep and are sick with the utmost
impartiality and without the blessing
of soap and water. Hence the steerage

How to wheedle a Librarian.

note that an Oxford scholar of my
acquaintance, if he wished a valuable
book to be taken from the Bodleian
library into the Radcliffe reading room
that he might continue reading it after
the library was closed, used to begin by
asking leave for some unique manu-
script, and when that was refused a
book somewhat less valuable, coming
gradually down a scale and being re-
fused with less emphasis, until he
reached the book which alone he want
ed, when he would say, SAT least you
can have no objection to my taking
