Cigars Few Can Afford.

"A long. low strip of land, a valley
between high hills, lies five miles out
side OF Havana, and there" said a
cigar salesman, "the best tobacco In
the world is grown. The name of the
place is Abajo, and Vuelta Abajo
crops are always bought up two or
three years in advance of their plant
ing. They yield only $4,000 cigars
annually. These cigars sometimes
sell as high as $3.50 a hundred-s1.5O
apiece. Vuelta Abajo cigars are only
smoked by kings and b%illionaires.
There are many fake Vuelta Abajos
on the market. But the real thing,
once smoked, can never be mistaken,
FOR there is no other tobacco in the
world with an aroma at once SO pow.

EVERYDAY FORM OF GREETING.
There Are Many Kinds Of Hands and
Many Ways Of Shaking Hands.

many Ways OF Shaking Hands.
Did you ever notice the difference
In hands and handshakes? Well,
there is a difference, and it's mighty
interesting, too.
One person will offer you a big,
brawuy hand that gives a good,
hearty shake, while another hand that
is just as big and trawny will feel
like a log.
Some n else will offer you a
hand that you could reach around
with your little finger. and yet the
grasp is warm and sympathetic, while
the same hand worn by another will
feel like a slender icicle, and the
quicker you let 60 the better.
Then, there are the fat hands, the
long hands, the short hands (not
stenographically speaking) and many
other kinds of hands, but it all de-
ponds on how the wearer uses them
as to whether or not you care to
shake again.
Inc manner or shaking Is, worth
noticing also. Some folks come to
you with a straight arm jab, others
u.s. a cherry picking movement and
make you reach up to a level with
your forehead, others grab your hand
as low down as possible, while there
are others who bend their arms so
that you not only shake again, but you
rub arms from the elbow to the
fingers.
And then there are those who
shake hands naturally and gracefully.
