taken by the county, but this will
be done in due time.

was disengaged. As II happened, both
were diseEgaged. His name was taken
in, and Immediately afterwards the mes
senger came back to announce that
Messrs. Fogle & Quick would see him.
He was ushered into an inner room,
where he found himself in the presence
Of two dry, taciturn-looking gentlemen
Of some fifty to sixty years Of age. Mr.,
Montgomery placed himself in such a
position that no ray of light should fall
upon his face. His voice, too, would
have sounded strange, feigned, in the
ears OF those familiar with its usual
tones.
Mr.. Fogle demanded his business in
the tone of a man with whom time is
money, while Mr.. Quick continued his
examination of a box Of deeds, after
casting one rapid glance at the visitor.
Mr.. Montgomery's answer was to pro-
duce copy of the previous days news
paper from his pocket. and point to an
advertisement which has been already
copied into these pages. He was po-
lite in his manner, although very sparing
of his speech.
"Bur you are not Silas Carston," said
Mr.. Fogle, sharply.
Il am not; but 1 am his representa-
tive" mumbled Mr.. Montgomery, with
/ bow.
Have you hts written authority to
represent him?''
There was the slightest shadow of
hesitation in Mr.. Montgomery's manner
as he produced from his pocketbook
paper purportipg to be written by Silas
Carston, giving him, the bearer, full
power to act as his, the said Siias Cars
tons. representative in respect to any
communication that Messrs. Fogle &
Quick may have to make. The LAWYER
infinitely scrutinized the document, and
| then the bearer. Neither seemed to
inspire him with profound confidence.
How do we know that Silas Carston
has written thisY' he asked. suspicious
| ~ "Why does not Sifas Carsson come
/ here himself? Where is he now?''
HE cannot come himself. Your Sec

/ cannot answer i have gromised my
| friend Carston not to do So"
Mr.. Fogle passed the paper to Mr..
| Quick, who also minutely examined it,
shook his head, and turned again to his
document box without uttering word.
I'VE are not satisfied with your au-
thority, and decline giving you any in
forma ton. Mr. Carston must come him

''Then | presume you will return me

Certainly not; we shall retain it, and
hand it over to Mr.. Carston when we
! see him."
The Professor was posed, but he was
too practiced dissembler to betray It
by any outward sign, for the lawyers
eye was upon him.
There was a whispered conference for
a moment between the two partners.
Then Mr.. Fogle said, Stay We will
give you our clients address, under
whose instructions we are acting. She
can use her own discretion as to wheth II
| she pleases to transact business with
you. We thus relieve ourselves Of all
responsibility either way"

FACTS ABOUT THE CIGAR
The Different Colors and Textures of

The Different Colors and Textures of
Tobaccos.
Mine out of ten when you hand
them cigar will roll It tenderly be-
tween the fingers and smell it know
ingly before attempting to smoke it."
said an avenue cigar man TO a Wash
ington Star reporter. After putting
on it a minute or two, If you ask his
opinion. he will tell you all about the
cigar, its make, grade and price, and
inform you in confidential way that
he knows all about tobacco, and cigars
in particular. In ninety-nine cases out
Of one hundred his information will be
wrong. as only the tobacco expert can
quickly judge of the intrinsic merits
OF cigar, and frequently he will be
at fault.
For commercial purposes all cigars
are divided into three grades of to-
bacco, known as dark, medium and
light, but there are forty or fifty
shades, which are grouped into FIVE
subheadings.
The grade Of tobacco used in a
cigar has nothing whatsoever to do
with its size, and there is practically
no lirIit to the rumber Of sizes. ANY
cigar manufacturer may bring out
cigar of special size and give it what
ever name he pleases. The best known
and most frequently used sizes, how
ever, In the cigar trade are the con-
chas.' which are divided into bouquet
and especial 'regalia bouquets and
'puritanos,' the 'breva' and 'panatella'
having distinct shape of their own.
The 'panatella' is a long, thin cigar,
with tapering ends, whereas the
'breva' Is finished off short at both
ends and has an even thickness
throughout, except slight narrow
ness at the end that is held in the
mouth.
Undoubtedly the best tobacco
smoked In cigars in this country is the
natvegrown Cuban tobacco, and the
cigar is further improved If it is made
in Cuba, particularly in the province
of Havana. For this reason many So
called Havana cigars are in reality
cigars made in this country and ship
ped to the island, when they are re-
shipped to the United States, and the
revenue stamp is duly pasted on the
boxes to deceive the uninitfated-
MANY smokers who prefer a light
wrapper enjoy the flavor of the Ma
Mia wrapper with the Havana filler.
To satisfy this taste the Havana to-
bacco frequently is wrapped in Con-
necticut wrapper.
inferior grades of cigars frequent
~ are made Of doctored tobacco, acid
being used to stain tue wrappers a
Tight straw color in spots. The best
leaf Of the tobacco plant is that which
| grows nearest to the ground. and
when the rain splashes mud on the
leaf these little straw-colored spots ap-
pear when the tobacco is cured. When
these spots are genuine the wrapper
will be good tobacco OF it's grade,
but whether it is acid stain or not
only the expert will be able to deter

The Jewish Encyclopedias.

The extremely valuable book of reference,
edited by DR.. Isidor Singer, "The Jewish
Encyclopedia, has reached its eighth vol
ume. the subjects treated in alphabetical
order ranging from Leon through Moravia.
The article Manuscripts gives peculiar
character and interest to the illustrations
in the volume, as there are enough repro
auctions TO make a brief photography
The Biblical books that come within its
limits are Levticus and Maccabees. An un-
usually important subject treated at great
length is Marriage, and very interesting
will be found the articles on the several
Midrashim, on Lsviathan, Lion. Mama,
Machpelah, Mishnah and many others.
In biography we come upon Maimonides,
many Levys, Sir Moses Montefore, Karl
Marx, the various noted Mendelssohns,
Rahel Varnhagen, Lombroso, Rabbi Meir,
the Mendes family and countless more
The geographical articles give the oppor-
tunity for most entertaining history OF a
sort not generally known, and the papers
on the London and Lisbon Jews are very
important. Under American place names
we get the early history Of the Jews in this
country, in Maryland and Massachusetts
for instance.
An enormous amount OF information OF
importance to others than Jews is sup
piled by these volumes, making them an
indispensable supplement to other en-
cyclor edias, particularly the religious ones.
Four more volumes should complete this
admirably planned and executed work
