1t is not generally known that nearly all the
fine Havana tobacco used in the manufacture
| of high priced cigars is grown in the Province
of Pinar Del Rio the extreme western end fthe
| Island of Cuba. So valuable is the land in
this section that in spite Of the terrible priya-
tions they have undergone, the original owners,
inmany cases, still retain possession of them.
| The Cuban planter as rule has strong
sentiment of pride in his make up, and he pre-
fers to suffer and go without the necessities of
| life rather than to dispose of foot fhis land,
and those who have followed this policy are
now reaping reward which repays them q
! hundred fold for their past sufferings.
| One of the oldest and most valuable planta-
tions is named Gel Sol,' the owner of which,
Sr. Don, Alfredo Garcia y Saavedra, is now in
New York City looking after his interests in
the Fabrica De Cuba Cigarros Co., manufac-
turers of the Big Brother and other popular
brands.
ayes, am surprised at the rapid growth of
our New York factory" said he in recent con-
versation. sit seems only a very short time
since we began, and find we are shipping
more and more of our tobacco to the factory
each crop. Though the price of the Big Broth
er is so small, yet 1t gives me an opportunity of
realizing fair price for the smaller sizes of leaf
which we formerly were unable to use to good
advantage. Try this one, notice that though
dark in color it tastes sweet and ageeable; OBJ
serve the fragrance when you light it. All our
tobacco has q peculiar aroma and spice easily
distinguishable from that Of other sections of
the island, and we find our patrons are gener-
ally men who know what good tobacco really is
The price of the Big Brother is so reasonable
that no one need stop to considerth the costs in
fact, 10 cents OK pended fora box of five is trife
when you realize what value you receive"

Comparison of Methods.

As we have already said, expensive mate
rails and elaboration are not necessary to
make our dishes attractive. The exercise
of a little of women's inventive faculty
combined with good taste, will accomplish
wonders, in developing pleasing results.
When once ii becomes a habit, it is just
as easy and much more gratifying TO do
things nicely, as IL is tc fall into the care
less ways. Compare the two following
methods. The first being the ordinary one

Mothers often plead that they are too
busy to give the necessary time to garnish
and decorate their everyday dishes. If
this is true, then let the daughters take
this duty upon themselves. We go through
our well-cOnducted public schools where
We are shown the artistic efforts of the
pupils and are often much surprised and
pleased with the results. The grouping nd
arrangement of colors most frequently in
evidence are from study of vegetables or
fruits with perhaps homely background
of some familiar kitchen utensils. Let
these pupils apply this knowledge al home
in making their table more attractive and
the henafit will be far-rna ching
