Names on Cigar Boxes.
m the London Chronicle

From the London Chronicle
OF every hundred men who profess anxiety
for the quality of their cigars owing to the
Cuban rebellion, scarcely one could. II put
to it, interpret the meaning of the various
words which are stamped on the lid and
sides of a cigar box. These are not mere
fancy names, but terms actually descriptive
of the cigar.
On the lid is the name of the cigar, as
Pedro Murias. villa y Villa. The front Of
the box describes the shape and size, as
Conchas, Reina. Regalias, which state the
shape, and Perfecto Infantes, Princesses,
which signify the size. These may be COM
bined, as Conchas Especiales, Conchas
Finas to state both shape and SIZE
At the back of the box, where the lid
turns over, is stamped the quality of the
cigar-Superfina, Fina, Flor. Superior and
Bueno being the terms in the descending
scale. The color of the cigar is declared on
the right-hand side or end of the box. Ciaro
signifies the highest colored, Colorado Clara
rather darker, Colorado dark. Colorado
Maduro darker, Maduro very dark, Oscura
extremely dark, Negro darkest.

jewelers. Golden Year.

From the Jewellers Circular Weekly.
Never in the history of the jewelry trade
has the fall season opened so auspicious.y
as has the present one. 1t Is such times
as these, when money is plentiful, that
most people think of buying jewelry. pre-
cious stones, watches, silverware and SINH
lar articles. and the bulk OF sales in this
trade this year will create new record.
Learning from experiences of the past.
manufacturers are now working to their
fullest capacity, and the retail jewelers. are
buying earlier than ever before. The fall
season. has already been most active. and
from now to the holidays there IS every
reason to believe that the demand for
wares in the Jewelry and kindred trades
viii far exceed the supply.

WANTS SCHOLARS
TO PAY TUITION

| Editor Advertiser: Yesterdays issue
of the a Liberdade." a Portuguese
weekly published in this city. contains
suggestion with reference to the OBJ
tanning OF funds to conduct our public
schools that is worthy of considera-
ton.
The paper suggests that the pupils
of the Honolulu High School, and
those of the two highest grades in the
Normal Kaiulani, Kaahumanu and
Royal Schools be made to pay month
ly tuition for a certain period or until
our next legislature provides rem
edy.
In supporting this suggestion. the A
Liberdade reminds US that it would be
no innova ton in the case of the Homo
lulu High School, for when the gov
eminent first opened that school all
pupils paid tuition. And, furthermore,
it is just that they should pay for a
special school, for such it is, as only
the children of our richer class of peo-
pie can attend it. We must bear in
mind that the fathers of the poorer
children are also taxpayers, and [
might say, truthfuIy. contribute move
the richer children
When it comes to the other part of
the suggestion. that the two higher
grades of our best government schools
charge tuition, we might and could en-
force those pupils above the age of fif-
teen. the age limit set by law, to pay
such a tuition.
The law, I presume is meant to offer
oh;
the land and prepare them for citizen
ship. But how many are prepared
directly for business and to enter coll
leges each year? Professor Scott. as
published in the other mornings Adj
vertiser, said that tWenty-seven pupils
graduated during the past year, ready
for business from the High School.
Mr.. Editor, ] believe in giving every
one the best education possible, but in
the present case, where the lower
schools in Oahu and on the other is
lands are suffering, I believe that that
higher educa ton should be paid for
First, we must arrange to give all
common education and then, when we
can afford it, give special education to
those desiring it. Think of it, in the
High School the pupils, children of
taxpayers, of course, are taught the
modern languages while in the other
schools the children, also of taX-pay-
ers, suffer for want of better paid
eachers, and better and more commo-
dio1s schoolhouses.
We never hear a word of complaint
from those parents whose children at
tend Oahu College, Punahou Prepare
tory, Kamehameha Schools, St. Louis
College and other private schools III
the islands. They pay for the educa-
ton of their children and also pay
their taxes.
The suggestion, Mr. Editor, may not
he in direct accordance with every
part of our school law but there ca
never be a better and more noble law
than that of Justice TO the poor
NJ. r. PEREIRA.
