POSSIBLE SOURCE PETERS PENCE.
The POpe's Great Success As the
Maker of Fine wines.

A very remarkable proposition has been
made 10 the Vatican, in which some ex-
ceedingly shrewd business men are con-
cerned, and also some high personages
at the Papa Court. Readers of the Pail
Mall Gazette will, perhaps, remember that
some years ago l announced that the Pope
was making a special wine from the vines
in the Vatican gardens which has a quail
ity all its own, and is In high demand.
partly because of it's really delicious
flavor, and partly because of the position
of its maker Leo XIII has now been
approached for the purpose of inducing
him to exhibit this wine at the Paris eN-
position next year, elegantly bottled, with
labels showing a picture of ST. Peters
and the Vatican, and setting forth that
this Is the famous "Leonine wine" of Leo
XIII, In the twenty-first year of his reign.
Besides this company would be formed
with the privilege of reproducing this
wine, which. II Il did not come from the
Vatican gardens, would practically be the
same, half the proceeds going to the COM
pany and half to Peters Pence" Or
If the Vatican did not wish the trouble
of looking after 40 vast a concern the
company would guarantee the Holy See
a yearly sum, about equal to the present
revenue from Peters Pence.
The Peters Pence idea IS a subtle touch,
showing the finger OF one who is versed
in the affairs OF the Holy See. and par
tcularly in the susceptibllitles OF Leo
Kill 1t may not generally be known that
the Peters Pence, which al one time
brought In great wealth to the Golfers of
the church-in the year of Leos first jubi-
lee 100000 was thus gathered in--has
been declining year by year, and that
rapidly, much to the grief of the present
Pontiff, who, though economical to stlngi-
ness, never finds sufficient funds for the
projects, charitable and political, OF the
church. But to the despair of the promot-
ers of the 'Leouine wine" scheme, who
saw In it fortune for themselves al well
as riches for the church, the Pope viii

Leo XIII said that he did not wish to
reflect upon the acts of his predecessor,
but must refuse any such business for
himself
A few days later. while taking his ac-
customed walk In the gardens OF the pal
ace, he wandered by the vineyard and
there found his faithful gardener busy
among the vines. "Ahl Giovanni" he
said, putting ms hand on the head OF the

vines are worth millions, and that they

them to ourselves?" and with a sad smile

CIGAR LABELS DECEPTIVE.
They Don't Indicate the Quality of
the Article.

From the New York Tribune
A brand or label or mark put upon an
article Is commonly supposed to indicate
to the purchaser. actual or possible the
nature of The article itself. In regard to
cigars this superstition has only basis
of truth. Most consumers Of cigars know
their 'favorite brands" as they call them,
and feel pretty confident about the quality
of these brands If they buy their cigars
at counters where they have always OBJ
tanned good ones. But few consumers can
tell even approximately what will be the
size and shape of The cigar obtained in
a box marked, for Instance, "Conchas Re-
galias."
There is much difference between
brand" of cigars and label" "A good
brand" Is very often taken to mean "a
good quality" Very likely that was the
original intention Of cigar brands, as it
still Is of whisky brands. But by the
actual present custom OF the trade the
name which is burned or branded on the
wood of the cigar boX--the brand" prop
erly so cSlled-has no necessary connec-
ton with the quality Of the cigar, but
only accidentally. so far as some parllcu-
lar make peculiar to one factory, may be
for the time exclusively applied to the
manufacture of good tobacco. The brand"
tells the cigar sellers something about the
size and shape Of the cigar AS years go
on the application OF these brands be-
comes more and more loose and irregular.
Until recent years there used to be a
regular graduation of size in about this
order beginning with the largest: ~ Per-
fecto. (D Puritano. 90 Concha and az
Conchita. Even this arrangement was not
by any means the earliest. "Regalia" was
known to the trade as designation Of
large size long before anybody ever heard
% "Perfecto." "Henry Clay" was once
a brand indicative Of both size and quality.
a brand and label in one, when the cigar
was made in only one Havana factory
And later results of competition, as well
as Of Cuban disturbances. are seen in the
actually prevailing scale of brands. As
brand differs from brand Ia shape as well
as In length. II would take much compu-
Gated mathematical research to place the
brands in the exact order of The volume of
tobacco indicated by each.
Roughly speaking however, they run,
beginning with the largest as follows:
~ Perfecto Elegante, (9 Perfecto Elmo. 90
Furitano Fino-a thick cigar: % Puritano
Extra. 90 Breva-thick and blunt: 90
Preva Chica. CO Concha Regalla. 81 Con-
cha Especial. 90 Conchita. 90 Reina Fina.
On Petit Due, 90 OPERA and 00 Chi
quita.
About all this matter OF brands nothing
is so certain as that the whole business Is
in a shifting and revolutionary condition.
Thus, the Panetela, not mentioned above
would be placed by some after the Per-
fecto because II is about as long and by
others after the Concha, because II is thin
