a CHAR Story.

\ few of the friends of a Broad
way cigar dealer enjoy at times high
priced smokes for very little money.
The dealer in question carries sew
eral lines of one and two dollar ci
gars as we'll as one brand selling for
$3.50. These are naturally made of
the richest Havana leaf and are es
peciallv attractive to an insect which
burrows into the cigar, making a
hole as large as the head of pin
and perhaps a quarter of an inch
deep. The insect does not spoil the
flavor of the tobacco. But in the
higher priced grades it is impossible
to offer for sale patched wrapper,
and so these cigars are laid aside to
be sold to the favored ones.
They are grouped with regard to
the number of perforations, those
with a couple of holes selling for 30
cents each, while others 90 for as
low as Is cents. A bit of cigarette
paper wetted and placed over the
hole preserves the draft, and the
cigar is every bit as good as those in
the case.-New York Press.

The footrests are also of steel. For
the present the armrests are of wood,
but experiments are now being made
with various metals in the effort to Sc
cure a non-combustible material which
will not be cold to the touch.
A coupler arrangement Of a new
type, stronger than anything ever used
before, has been designed for this car
to avoid any possibility Of breakage
and the resultant parting Of trains.
In the planning OF this car, no eX-
pense has been spared to build coach
which should provide the greatest
possible strength; a steel framing
which could not be affected by fire; an
inside lining which should be abso-
lutely unburnable, and at the same
time, would not conduct heat or sound.
The company has been making elab-
crate tests to ascertain the effect of
the temperature of the atmosphere on
the steel, as compared with the old
wooden car. 1t is found that in hot
weather the difference is very slight
and that the steel car shows a decided
inclination to cool off more rapidly
than the wooden coach.
