MAKING CIGARETTES.
Some Of the Tricks Of the Trade
Exposed.

When the waiter was told to bring
box of cigarettes with the coffee he did
not confine himself to the particular
brand ordered by the man who was pay
ing for the dinner. He brought, and
strongly recommended, pink box bear
ing the name of the restaurant in which
the dinner was served.
Put up specially for us in Virginia,
SIR he said I'VE sell a great many of
them. Only 10 cents more than the kind
you ordered. and very much finer
AS the waiter went back to the cigar
stand with the rejected pink box the
man who ordered cigarettes said: I'm
four cases out of five that game works
BUT as happen to be in a business
am wise as the saying goes. The
newest wrinkle of cigarette manufac-
turers is to put out in fancy boxes

the name of some particular hotel, res
taurant or bar room. Any place tina
does enough business to place a go
sized order may enjoy this distinction
1t is very fiattering. to the proprietor
who Is easily persuaded to purchase the
cigarette named after his establishment,
and to instruct his walters to push their
sale. 1 know for certainty that all
the boxes are filled with the same grade
of cigarettes. In most places they sell
for Is cents, which is all they are worth.
But there are hotels where the same

old-fashioned machines need two or

are no longer handmade, although it
The prejudice in favor of the hand
made cigarette is rapidly dying out
The only sure way for a smoker to get
a handmade cigarette is for him to roll
his own
THE chief complaint against machine
made cigarettes is that they are rolled
too tight. That is true of the old ma
chimes. The trouble is that the feeders
get careless and put in too much to-
bacco. In the new self-feeders this is
regulated, and the cigarettes are rolled
that under the existing system Of fac
tory inspection the bulk of cigarettes
put upon the market are very much
purer than they were few years ago.
The crusade against boy smokers has
had that effect at any rate.
Impure cigarettes are the exception
now rather than the rule. The only diff
ference is in the quality of the tobacco
used. and that varies according to SELL

quality of tobacco. In the more expen-
sive American makes little Egyptian

AS an illustration of the increasing
interest taken by women in the magic
art 1t is significant that a school of
magic was recently established in Lon
don. where women are initiated into the
secrets of the art. This school has a
membership of 400 women. There is a
similar institution in Berlin. In my
humble opinion it will be only a mat
ter of a few years before such a school
is established in the United States.
Those who say that the art is dead
know nothing of the amateur side of
the subject. There are 10000 amateur
magicians in this country alone, and
the number is constantly increasing.
There are two monthly publications de-
voted wholly to magic, and the litera-
ture of the subject is growing. Trade
has never been better in magical aupa-
ratus than it is today, and, as my book
will attest. each year the number of
women who take an interest in the sub
Ject is on the increase. "-Rochester

Former Head of Army Will Attend
State Reunion.

Department Commander A. w. Smith
has received a telegram from General
Miles stating definitely that he Will be
at the Kansas state G. A. r. reunion at

Black, the new commander-in-chief of
the G. A. r.. will also be present on the
opening day, and Corporal Tanner will

three will be the big trio of the state
reunion.
While at the national encampment at
San Francisco last month Colonel Smith
gave General Miles very pressing In
vitation to attend the Kansas reunion,
but General Miles only partially prom
ised to do so, as he was called to Wash

could get away again in time to come
to Kansas, but the telegram which
Colonel Smith has received from him
settles the matter.
General Black will make a speech OH
the opening day, Wednesday, September

lowing day and will remain until Satur-
day. He will probably make an address
on Thursday.

recognize that the board has a way of
doing things which. while it may be
Anticipated and slipshod. nevertheless
is the custom" School boards like peo
pie often get into ruts. Things are
done in a certain way simply because
thew have been done that way in the
past and it is refreshing to find one
who will boldly come out and smash
these moss grown traditions.
1t follows that Judge Carver will be
unpopular for awhile-reformers all

tions will be adopted and the board
will be surprised to find that there
can be a new way of doing things
which is really better than the old.
