To TELL GOOD CIGARS.
JudEes of Their Fine Points Few
and Far Between.

and Far Between.
The Judges OF good cigars IN this
country are few and far between. saws
an expert. The great difficulty with
the people who think they know cigars
is that they lay too much stress on the
color Of the weed. The color makes not
the slightest difference. and you are
just as likely TO find one Of the rankest
kind Of cigars with the deep black col
or Of the genuine Havana as you are
to find bad one among those that are
yellow as straw.
The best way to tell cigar is By
the feel Of it. Take a cigar in your
hands and give it gentle pressure,
holding it close to the ear. If the cigar
is good one, it will be just the least
little bit flexible, and the fingers will
sink into the wrapper. 1t gives forth
no perceptible sound. If the cigar lie
hard and close rolled and when placed
to the ear sounds as though you were
pressing straw together, beware. The
best cigars are made of the same leaf
as the wrapper and are closely rolled
The common cigars are what is known
as filled and contain all kinds of refuse
from the tables where the good cigars
are made. There are some filled cigars
that are good smokes, but you seldom
find Havana or a Manila or good Gu.
ban or Key West smoke that is nee
rolled. Many people who go into a CT
gar store to get an imported smoke do
not follow up the salesman when he
takes the cigars from the case and are
consequently often fooled. They are
given domestic brands and are charS
ed imported prices for them.
These good cigar judges" canno,
tell the difference when there is all
the difference in the world. II you must
have an imported, smoke. make the
clerk hand you the box and look close
~ at the revenue stamp. The stamps
on domestic goods are green and white
while those on the imported boxes are

next cigar cases you see before pug.
chasing an imported cigar. II they
have no boxes in the case to which is
attached yellow and white stamp
don't attempt to make purchase The
clerk will sell you cigar he calls i'm
ported, but it will not be the real az

Butterfses That Fly High.

Both in the Himalayas and in the
Andes butterflies have been found at
heights ranging up to 10000 feet, and
In the Alps they are quite common at
1900 feet. The very highest elevation
so far observed is 1926 feet, where
they were found by NJ. Bonpland on
the slopes of Chimborazo. Sir j. d..
Hooker found butterflies on the slopes
of the Himalayasr at about the same
height. He speaks of ''the amazing
quantity of superb butterflies. many
large tropical swallowtails. black, with
a scarlet eye on the wings" Tue South

found them at high attitudes in the

MORE PHT6RNALlSM.

We should really like to know what
the government has to do with the love
affairs of it's officials, civil or military.
There is nothing in the statutes bear
ing on the point. Neither In the army
nor the navy regulations is there a
provision relating to it. Yet we are
growing familiar with the spectacle
of irate parents appealing to the gov
ernment for unishment of officers
who love their daughters either too
little or too much. What are we
coming to, when a government bothers
itself with these things?
Only two or three years ago some
body asked the Navy Department to
protect his daughter against the So
licitations of young officer who loved
her and whom-according to contem-
poraneous newspaper history-she
seemed anxious to marry. We do not
remember what the department did,
nor do we care. Next there was a
howl from another stricken parent
whose daughter had been ''jilted," and
now we hear Macedonian cry from
a gentleman with marriageable but
as yet unlisted daughter. The whole
business is astounding, as we look at
it. Perhaps we cherish effete notions
in this regard. No doubt we are be-
hind the times, as times are going
now. But it seems to us that our
government must be degenerating into
very petty and contemplate pater-
nalism when it begins to take serious
notice of such affairs.
It is all very we'll to say that this
man is relentlessly pursuing young
woman, that that man has wiakedly
betrayed the girl who trusted him.
We fully agree that such fellows should
be treated with the utmost severity
But who is to manage these affairs
A father is the natural protector of his
child. If he can not play the part, be
| should efface himself Who knows
the facts in the case? Certainly moi
the government. And who, if he be a
brave and honorable man, will talk
about them to strangers? AS we see
the matter, any one who will bring his
domestic affairs into publicity is un-
deserving, of respect or recognition
This is the moral aspect of the case
On the other hand, what has the gov
ernment to do with it? That is the
official and common-sense aspect.
If the government doesn't want tc
make itself ridiculous, it had better
let love take it's course.

Bees and Ants.

Bees will place their honrycornbs in
any place regularly or irregularly
shaped, and when they come to corners
and angles they seem to stop and con-
slider. Then they vary the shape OF the
cell. so that the space is exactly filed.
1t could not be done more satisfactorily
If the whole thing had been worked
out on paper beforehand. Ants make
hard and smooth roads and drive tun
nels compared TO which mans efforts
in making such things are insignificant.

A KISS and q Bite.

In his volume, THE Kiss and It's
History" Dr. Christopher Nyrop Of the
University of Copenhagen relates that
in England in 1887 Thomas Saxeland
brought an action against Miss Caro-
line Newton, who had bitten a piece
out Of his nose for his having tried
to kiss her by way of a joke. The de-
fendant was acquitted, and the judge
laid it down that when man kisses
a woman against her will she is fully
entitled to bite his nose If she so
pleases."
And eat it up.>ff she has fancy

How Scissors Are Made.
Though no complexities are involved
sn the making Of scissors or much skill
required, yet the process Of manufac-
ture is very interesting. They are
forged from good bar steel heated to
redness, each blade being cut off with
sufficient metal to form the shank, or
that destined to become the cutting
part, and bow, or that which later on
is fashioned into the holding portion.
For the bow small hcle is punched,
and this Is afterWard expanded to the
required size by hammering it on a
conical anvil, after which both shank
and bow are filed into more perfect
shape and the hole bored in the middle
for the rivet. The blades are next
ground and the handles fled smooth
and FURNISHED with oil and emery,
after which the pairs are fitted to-
Ngether and tested as to their easy
working.
They are not vet finished, however;
they have to undergo hardening and
tempering and be again adjusted. after
which they are finally put together
again and polished for the third time.
In comparing the edges Of knives and
scissors 1t will be noticed, of course,
that the latter are not in any way so
sharply ground as the former, and thai
i'm cutting scissors crush and bruise

ROOSEVELT'S REQUEST.

We can readily sympathize with
President Roosevelt's anxiety to settle
the strike. But few people will blame
Mitchell and the strike leaders if the
Presidents request to cali off the
strike in exchange for the appointment
of a commission to investigate condi-
tions is declined
1t is very much like the invitation
of the spider to the fly to walk into
his parlor. These commissions and
their Investigations and reports are
always controlled by the politicians,
and no one knows this better than
Mitchell, who has given every dem
onstration, so far, of being a pretty
level-headed person.
But the Presidents anxiety is en-
tirely natural and excusable. 1t is
preposterous to assume that the public
shall stand helpless as an OK in the
shambles and leave it's fate-money,
comfort, perhaps the lives of it's sick
and chlldren-to be decided by the
issue of the fight between the operators
and miners. The whole business is
an inexcusable reversion to barbarian
Methods test of brute strength be-
tween the contestants.
But the miners have shown the most
consideration for the opinion and com
forts and rights of the public. The
operators are the real barbarians, as
the people at large are the chief VIC
TINS Of the barbarism- But the whole
matter shows the necessity of doing
something. We must adopt compul-
sorry arbitration. This is the natural
solution. 1t is the only remedy for
conditions which nearly always con-
front us.

The Cleaners.

The old custom of cleaning in the
harvest fields, which recalls the Bibli-
cal story of Ruth and Naomi, is not
obsolete in England, and in Hertford-
SHIRE Bedfordshire and the neighbor-
ing counties as soon as tt wheat is
gathered in the late days-sf August

in their hands until large enough to be

all the booty is bound upin cloths and
carried home on the heads Of the

THE ANTHRACITE TARlEF.

A few days ago the Phoenix Republi-
can, in a spirited endeayor to deny the
relations between the tariff and the
trusts, made very effective dem
onstration of the often conceded fact
that there was no tariff on anthracite
coal. Heretofore The Citizen has
conceded that there was no direct tariff
on anthracite, but it now appears that
The Citizen, as we'll as many other
papers more or less familiar with, the
tariff schedules, was entirely mistaken
There is a tariff, but it is so ingeni-
ously framed that any one not ac-
quainted with the details of the coal
business of the world would naturally
overlook it. The following paragraph
from a recent issue of the Pittsburg
Post throws light On the situation:
Welsh coal is3being imported to some
extent from England, and it Is paying
a customs tax. This is a fact which
at once silences those defenders of the
tariff on the stump who are going
about telling the people that the pres
er1t protective system leaves anthracite
coal free of duty. One New York con-
Germ had 1900 tons OF Welsh coal ar
rive the other day, and the duty
charged against it by the government
was the 67 cents a ton levied upon
bituminous coal. The duty was 67
cents a ton, which we paid" said a
member of the firm. yet read that
