The week just closed ended another pa 90
in the progress of the cigar industry of
Tampa. The reports from twenty of the
leading factories of the city show that a
new addition has been made 10 the out

upward since the opening of the new year.
The twenty factories. by which the entire
number may be adequately judged, made
an aggregate of 2250OO0 ci-
CARS and shipped equally that many.
These cigars average a more expensive
grade than those usually sold over the
counters for 10 cents each. This means
that they are of expensive tobacco and
that the manufacture of them calls for
skilled labor that receives good pay for its
daily work. Some of the cigars included
In this number sell to the jobber for $50

Pront An Soda water.

The following estimate gives an in.
teresting idea of the money that can
be made in the soda water business
when it is operated on large scale:
with the carbonated water reduced to
three cents gallon, the profit on a
glass of soda water is great. The sirups
and cream represent greater cost
than the water itself; but where the
fayoring extracts are made right in
the store glass of plain soda with any
of the ordinary sirups does not cost
the dealer more than cent and half.
A good glass of ice cream soda cannot
be made for less than three to five cents.
The latter is usually the average cost
in high class stores where the best
cream is used. The price of ter. cents
q glass, considering the slowness with
which consumers drink 1t, does rot
make the profit SO large as on ordinary
plain soda."-Sciepti6c American,

down the path he dashed at full speed.
just where this path emerged from
the orchard and joined the road sat
Hetty Marvin with her dog, Towser,
tending the bleaching of the household
linen.
In those days the long web of 40 yards
or more used to be diligently spun and
woven during the winter months, and
whitened in the spring. The task of
bleaching usually, for economy's sake,
fell to the lot of the younger daughters
of the household, who were not old
enough to spin or weave, nor strong
enough for the work of the kitchen or
dairy.
The heavy roll of linen would be car
ried by the farmer and his men to some
grassy spot beside a spring or running
brook. Here ii was thoroughly wetted
and spread upon the green turf to be
whitened by the rays of the sun by day
and the moisture of the dew by night.
1t was the duty of whoever was in
charge to turn the fabric as occasion re-
quired, and occasionally to sprinkle it
with water-not an onerous task, al
though one that required faithfulness
and patience.
AS Hetty was sitting, this May day,
near the linen. her mothers cousin, the
governor, suddenly sprang past her into
the road.
The child was startled by this sudden
shock, and by the look of desperation
on the fugitive's face, but quickly real
ixed his danger. and at once quieted

SELECTING CIGAPS
Strength and Not the Color
of the Wrapper.

"One of the most absurd ideas that
the average smoker has about Havana
cigars is the notion that the color of
such weed, be it light or dark, is indi-
cative of its strength" said large man
ufacturer of Cuban cigars to the writer
recently. ut is no such thing. A light
or medium-colored cigar is not neces-
sarily mild or medium in flavor, for the
simple reason that the color only refers
to the outside wrapper, which in itself
is of very thin and small quantity as
compared with the other materials that
go to make up the cigar. AS matter
of fact, the filters and bunch wrappers
are the only parts that will determine
the body or strength of the cigar. The
actual strength, or otherwise, of the
inner body of the cigar, the filler and
bunch wrapper, is only known to the
expert, and, therefore, when purchas-
ing a cigar the smoker who is not q
Judge of the various grades of tobacco
used to give cigar its flavor should be
guided in his choice of a mild, medium
or full cigar by the manufacturer or
the dealer. Not doing SO, he will find
that his own selection of cigar from
the wrapper is largely matter of
chance.
1.-The craze for light or dark colors
has nevertheless assumed alarmingly
proportions. The manufacturers, par
ticularly those of Cuban-made cigars,
are at present at their wits ends to
know how to grapple with the matter.
Nature is very impartial and quietly ig-
nores the fads and fancies of people in
general. Tobacco leaves, like most
things, are subject to the vagaries of the
natural elements. A crop may give an
undue proportion of dark, light or
medium; except for color, all may be
equally good. What is the manufac-
turer to do if he can only dispose of his
light and medium and has to keep all his
dark? He already threatens to raise
the price of his lighter colors, in which
case the smoker would be paying a
higher price for by no means the best
article. 1t might be reasonably as
sumed that as possessing the essential
qualities of good cigar the darker
cigar is by far the best."-Washingto

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

A De Laval steam turbine motor has
been used in slate mine for running q
ventilating plant. The high speed of
the turbine is reduced by means of
proper gears, so that the actual speed
of the fan is about 1000 revolutions per
minute.
By means of a valuable toughening
process recently discovered glass may
now be nodded into lengths and used
as railway sleepers. Glass rails are also
produced by this same toughcning
process. 1t is, therefore, possible to
have a complete glass railway.
White diamonds, the most popular
among buyers, are seldom what they
pretend to be, for stone clear and
transparent is more rare than one
thinks. There are red, blue, brown,
yellow, green and pink diamonds; heat
also often changes the color of stone.
Notwithstanding an increase of the
outputs of all products of Baku, Russia,
about 200,000,000 gallons of petroleum
in total of 100000, 900, the average
whole output per well has fallen from
225 gallons in 1896 to 1919 in 1898. This
would apparently indicate permanent
weakening of the wells.
Russia is rich in raw skins, but lacks
good tanning material. 1t has been
customary there to use willow leaves,
which contain only four per cent. of
tannin. Recently the Russian govern
ment has authorized the admission of
quebracho, duty free, to promote the
tanning industry. This wood contains
about 20 or rs per cent. of tannin.
A Mexican cactus (anhalonium

vague odors of perfumes, halo of
musical sounds surrounding him, and

brilliant colors passed clearly before his
vision.

The wound was dressed by doctor,
who tied a tight bandage about the

snake charmer had tied tight COM

prevented the poison from spreading
through the system, and undoubtedly
saved his life. The bite of one of these
snakes usually results fatally.
