Probably there ID not one smoker in
Q thousand who would not be surprised
and, In fact incredulous AZ he were told
that, the color OF q cigar Is absolutely
no guide to its strength. Yet such is
the case ana fact well known to ci-
gar manufacturers and importers. The
belief Of smokers that cigars of dark
color are strong and those OF a lighter
shade are milder Is, in point Of fact, as
sfallacious as It Is. general. This Ii but
one Of, many delusions harBored ~
consumers Of tobacco which practical
cigar men Have smiled at and INDUCED
from time immemorial.
"A maker Of Havana cigars uses but
one grade, or blend of tobacco, In the
body or filler Of his cigars. Exactly the
same stock Is used in his conchas as in
his perfectos, in his claros as in his
maduros. After the cigars are made,
however, his 'selector'' takes them in
hand and Classics them according to
the relative shades Of the wrappers.
This is done to effect a uniformity in
the appearance of each box Of cigars
and to enable the dealer to readily In
dulge the whims Of the self deluded
smoker. 40 .@:@. Esss II
Inasmuch as the wrapper constitutes
not more than one-tenth Of the cigar, it
will readily be seen that the degree of
Its strength or ,mildness is very incon-
siderable in effect. In this connection,
however, 1t, is interesting to note that
tobacco tradesmen versed In the intri-
cacies of the industry rigidly bar the
light colored wrapper from their own
smoking tables, knowing that it gener-
ally indicates that the leaf was prema-
turely cut and Improperly cured and
that it impairs the flavor and burn Of
the cigar. Cubans, who, by the way,
are notably partial to mild tobacco
avoid smoking light colored cigars just
as they avoid eating green orange or
an unripe banana. Es
& The prejudice Of these natives and of
tobacco tradesmen Is a logical one and
serves to throw into bold relief q pc
cuiiar misconception of facts which is
both amusing and embarrassing to
vendors Of the fragrant weed.
Whether cigar smokers will ever
awaken to the fact that dark cigar Is
II anything milder and invariably
sweeter and more aromatic than
light cigar remains to be seen.-Tobac-

WHY INDIANS PAINT.

An Apache Legend which Accountb
For the Grotesque Custom.
Once an old Apache Indian, when
asked the question why the people
painted their faces, told this little leg
end:
Long ago, when men were weak and
animals were big and strong, q chief
OF the red men who lived In these
mountains went out to get deer, for
bis people were hungry. s
"After walking all day he saw a
deer and shot at 1t, but the arrow was
turned aside and wounded a mountain
lion, which was also after the deer.
When the lion felt the sting OF the ar
row he jumped up and bounded after
the man, who ran for his life. ss
"He was almost exhausted, and when
he felt his strength giving way he Tell
to the ground, calling on the big bear,
who, you know, is the grandfather Of
men, to save him. w. 49, 1t
The big bear heard the call and saw
that to save the man he had to act
quickly, so he scratched his foot and
sprinkled his blood over the man. =,
"Now, you know that no animal will
eat OF the bear or taste of his blood.
So when the lion approached the man
he smelled OF the blood and turned
away, but as he did SO his foot scraped
the face OF the man, leaving the marks
Of his claws on the blood smeared
face. q. tti a51
when the man found that he was
uninjured he was SO thankful that he
left the blood to dry on his face and
never washed it at all, but left 1t until
It peeled on.
"Where the claws Of the lion scraped
It of there were marks that turned
brown In the sun, and where the blood
stayed on 1t was lighter. Now all men
paint their faces that way with blood
and scrape it of in streaks when they
hunt or 60 to war"

The slow story Teller.

Friar Lawrence checks the impetu-
Gus Romeo with, "He stumbles who
runs fast" sentiment true enough,
perhaps, but one which ought never to
be repeated to the constitutionally slow
story teller. like good story and
am ever ready to applaud good story
teller, but heaven save me from the de-
hberate, detailing, circumlocuting, ex-
asperating efforts Of the slow story tell
Or. In the first place, they seldom tell
tale that needs rapid recital-and
when they do they murder it-and in
the next place the long stories, the i'm
pressively sentimental and the lugubri-
ously funny stories they deal in chiefly

A prominent New York stockbroker
says: 'eThe newspapers do not get wind
of even small traction Of the suits
brought against brokers Because Of mis-
understandings between us and our GUS
toners. Ninety nine customers out Of
every hundred think we rob them when
they lose their money In the market
and give us no credit when they win.
We do our hardest to settle all suits
out Of court, for there is not 4 jury on
earth that. will find a verdict for a
stockbroker. Why? Simply because
every juror has been scorched now and

against all brokers. New York Press.

the cause to a greater richness in oxy-

The Careless
ness OF Man

Is often the cause of bitter disap-
pointments. The modern man
looks after the future welfare OF
his family by buying life insur-
ance, Government bonds or some
other safe investment, and neg
1ects one thing that possibly
would be more consolation and
comfort in case he was called
away. And that is modern pho
tograph; 800 of our business is
women and children. The men
are always putting it off until
finally a black gowned woman
brings in an old tin-type taken
when John was 20, and has it cop
led. Not much comfort, but it's
all she has. Don't you think a
small investment in photography
would be a good one for you?

Interesting Report of
the County Schools

the boards should see that the
school houses are used for educa-
tional purposes alone. 1t has been
the policy of the American people
from the very beginning Of our
history as nation to always keep
the church and state separate.
The free schools are part of the
state, and we do not wish to de-
part from the policies Of our fore
fathers. There are about as many
church houses as school houses in
the country. One district know
has % school houses and IA
churches, yet one school has been
used for a church for several
years. Ma teacher cares to come
in to his school house in the
morning and find the floor strewn
with the masticated remnants OF
dozen packages of cheap chew
| ing tobacco and completely be-
smeared with the exclusive expec-
toration produced by masticating
the said cheap tobacco. Public
property should not be used for
private or sectarian purposes. In
the early colonial days, they were
not able to provide a school house
and church house both, but one
house was made to answer both
purposes and the preacher was
the school teacher. In those days
the preacher had to be qualified
to teach school,, but the conditions
of life have greatly changed since
then. | am in favor Of Christian
ity, but it should be taught IN
the homes and as a religion, and
not creed.
Three schools were vacant at
the time of my visit, and l am
sorry that there is deficiency IN
the teaching force of the county.
There is surely a good opportun-
ity existing now for any who may
wish to enter the teaching profess
sion.
Wages are much better now for
teachers than a few years ago.
For first grade teachers $40 to
$40 per month, a rise Of $40 per
month in less than ten years. L
would like to encourage young
men and women of ability to take
up teaching as profession. 1t is
a profession that is getting better
every year.
Centreville district has 13
schools with an enrolment as fol-
lows: Boys 200, girls 1874; total
1884. The average daily attend
ance, based on data obtained dur
ing visit, boys ITS, girls 1853; to-
tai 1913. Centreville has a good
class of teachers, and her schools
compare very favorably with
other districts of the county. Cen
treville has some very good appar-
atus that is not found in the
other districts. But l find the
schools of the district nearly all
without dictionaries. Houses in
fair condition; grounds not fenc-
ed and unimproved.
Ellsworth district has II
schools, and employs 80 teachers.
The enrolment is as follows:
Boys 513, girls 419; total 932;
average daily attendance, based
on data obtained during visit,
boys 404, girls BAL; total 745.
Ellsworth has some very good
school houses and good schools.
Schools of the district all need to
be supplied with dictionaries. l
find a few dictionaries in the dis
trict, but they have been in use
for from twenty to thirty years
