lifted to a higher level today in much

much changed from those ruling for

factors in trading. The feeling to-
wards extensive new stock issues was
shown in pressure to sell Chicago

preston in hat stock. The rally in
stocks after the official announcement
OF the proposed stock issue was due
rather to the moderate amount of new
capital than to any change in the
prevailing opinion towards a tendency
to dilute the capital of the railroad.

There are thousands of wild boar

drive them into nets with dogs Some

Tipping Breeds Graft.
From Everybody's.

But 1t is the nature Of the graft that the
extorter has always in his turn to meet ex-
tortion. II the waiter does not share his
harvest with his helper the 'bus-boy" will
complain to the head waiter and the latter
will also demand a share. Indeed was
told by several New York walters that their
salaries are continually drawn upon by the
head walters. who thus exact their share
Of the patrons gratuities. The method is
as follows: The head waiter borr0ws sums
Of money from the regular walters. and II
the latter demand repayment they soon find
themselves out of q job. waiter working
In a Chicago hotel told me that unless he
tipped the chief constantly he got the
wrong end of the joint, thus lessening his
chance of pleasing his customer. Still an
other waiter complained Of having to con-
tribute part of his earnings to the cashier
on pain, in case of refusal, Of having his
change handed to him in such denomi-
nations as would make 1t inconvenient for
the patron to give him proper tip.
1t is not necessary to assume that walters
are as a class deliberately dishohest: such
Ia not the case. But one cannot cling to the

Caught in the Machinery"
rom Everybody's.


The most common type of factory acci-
dent is what the newspapers call being
Caught in the machinery" Judged by q
newspaper clipping record Of 612 accidents.
thirty per cent of factory accidents are Of
this nature. A large proportion were pre-
ventable by nothing more than ratings
and gratings to screen OF the moving parts
Of the machinery. Next most dreaded by
men In factories il being caught In the
leather betting or being struck with IT when
1t snaps or comes of the shaft. Most of
these accidents are avoidable by proper
guards Indeed to provide adequate pro-
lection from almost any high-speed piece OF
machinery Is not difficult task.
In other cases high-speed revolving
wheels burst, showering the men with as
deadly fire as II a shell from hidden
enemy exploded among them. Cages such
as are used largely in Germany offer almost
perfect protection. 1t has been estimated
from a confessedly incomplete record Of
the New York bureau of labor 0he only
one ever made in America) that there are
upward of 600 factory employees killed
or injured annually In the United States.

Havana Cigars.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
Ell Tabaco reports the total export Of Ha-
vana cigars last year as 256. 1873 O29. 1t Is
generally assumed that the United States
is the largest consumer Of this particular
product. The fact is that we took only a
little more than 30 per cent Of the output.
our purchases being 79,4S3. 125 cigars, an in
crease of about 15.OOO,O0O over the preced-
ing year.
England buys more cuban cigars than
does the United States. Her purchases last
year were 90, 459, $751; and during the year
1898 were sc. 5O5. 9O8. Germany buys be-
tween 25,OOO,OOO and 3O.OOO.OOO and France
takes from 100000 to 100000 Seventy
five different countries are included in the
list of Cuba's direct shipments. Turks. Ko-
reans and Egyptians import them. The lit
tie island Of Miquelon bought 1880 Havana
cigars last year. Paraguayans and Boliv-
ians bought them. The Swedes, the Danes
and Norwegians bought them. They were
sent to the African possessions of England,
France Germany, Spain and Portugal. Ha-
vana cigars went to Australasia, to China
and to Japan. The fragrance of the Cuban
weeds encircles the globe and spreads from
pole to pole.
Our purchases fell below those of Eng
land by reason of our Importation of large
quantities Of Cuban leaf for manufacture
here. We bought last year about 25,OOO00o
pounds Of leaf. while England's purchases
were only about $4,000 pounds. Out of total
leaf shipments of 12.636.S36 kilos. IL .413.-
1913 kilos came to this country. Cuba's Gig
arettes find their largest foreign market in
Colombia. to which country $3.50 ,24S were
sent last year. American purchases were
less than 100000. Americans smoke the
Cuban cigarettes in Cuba with sufficient
enjoyment. but seldom bring the taste for
them back to this country.
Two hundred and fifty-seven millions Of
cigars may look like a heap, but at that
rate 1t would take the Island of Cuba thirty
years to supply the American requirement
for cigars for a single year. We smoke
nearly S,0OO,0OO.OOO annually.

Unsatisfactory Recruiting in England
From the Court Journal.

From the Court Journal.
In spite of all that has been done to i'm
prove the social condition of the soldier and
to make the army a career, recruiting Is
not satisfactory. Men of the right class do
not come forward in any number, and
there has been q marked falling off in the
number of men willing to enlist. The mat
ter Is engaging the attention of the army
council, but 1t Is difficult to see what more
can be done to make the service more at
tractive unless the authorities give as
surance of employment at the end OF his
color service to the well-behaved soldier.
The pay Is good and the soldier Is to be
taught a trade while in the service. but
apparently something more remains to be
done. 1t has always been contended in
these columns that the only real solution
Of the recruiting difficulty is a guarantee
of work on returning to civil life. and I'M
til the authorities make arrangements for
finding the soldier who had behaved him
self q situation at the end Of his service
with the colors recruiting will always be a
source Of anxiety to the authorities.
