A recent report of the state board of
health, (Mass,) describes some of the
conditions of filth in the cigar manufac-
tories. In three of the largest establish
mentS visited, indiscriminate splitting was
general, and most of the cigar makers
completed each cigar with the aid Of
saliva. 1t must be an inspiring thought
to the confirmed smoker that the cigar
he passes between his lips has been spit
upon by some wholesome or unwholesome
worker in the process of its manufacture
An even worse practice which obtains
very generally, says the board, is the sale
OF sweepings. In the operation of making
cigars, considerable tobacco in larger or

Jim Fisk Couldn't See Why.

Once when Jim Fisk was visiting his
native town (Brattleboro) a few of the
prominent men called upon him. After
greetings were exchanged the conversa-
ton drifted to improvements which had
been made in the town since Mr.. Fisk
last visited it, and one of the gentlemen
suggested that, as the burying ground
was sadly in need of a fence, Mr.. Fisk
might be very glad to contribute toward
the expense.
Mr.. Fisk replied: 81 don't see why you
need a fence around the old burying
ground, for those that are in cannot get
out, and those that are out don't want to
get n."-tMarguerite Bond in Boston

Action Taken In Special Town Meeting
Looking to WaIpole for Two-Thlrds
Cost viii BE $1,000.
The special town meeting of Monday
afternoon drew out but few voters.
H. II. Allbee was chosen moderator pro
TEN. The meeting was called for action
in relation to protecting the arches of
the two ends of the new iron bridge across
the Connecticut river from ice and high
water Selectman M. II. Ray stated that
the civil engineer who drew the plans for
the bridge had drawn additional specifica-
lions for making all of the arch below the
roadway of the bridge soil mass of
concrete, enclosing steel rods running in
every direction and also all the present
steel girders, braces, etc, of the bridge
proper, which with a formation upon the
upper side as an angle warding off the
the square blows of anything floating in
the river would, in the judgment of those
to whom 1t had been referred, have the
desired effect of making the structure en-
tirely safe. The cost would be about
$1,000. The meeting voted UNANIMOUSLY TO
leave the matter to the judgment of the
selectmen to act in conjunction with the
selectmen of Walpole, and they were au-
thorized to draw their orders upon the
treasurer for not to exceed one-third the
total cost of the work. The town of wal
pole will pay two-thirds of the expense
of everything in connection with the
keeping of the bridges in repair. Some
little doubt was expressed after the meet
ing as to what action Walpole will take.
1t was understood there Is a growing
sentiment among the voters of that town
of dissatisfaction with the cost of sus-
tanning two bridges at this point, which
had resulted in a delay in the calling of
a similar meeting to authorize action in
conjunction with Rockingham. The no.
fipp their town meeting only
posted on Monday to be held Tuesday,
Oct. II, somewhat late for beginning the
work which should be completed before
cold weather.
