CUBAN CIGAR MAKERS.
while Tbey work Novels and Newspapers
Are Read 20 Them.

A Cuban cigar factory Of the best class 10
by no means a stupid place to work. Not
only does every cigar maker have plenty OF
light and air, a leather covered chair to sic
on and the privilege Of keeping on his hat
while he works. but he Ia entertained mean
while with novels and newspapers. song and
discussion.
The factory reader sits at the rear Of the
worIsroom. enthroned upon an elevated
stand. Ho is paid from the private funds
OF the cigar makers. the cost to each man
ranging from 10 to rs cents a week.
This covers the cost Of the books, novels
and newspapers. as we'll AZ n salary OF SEQ
which is paid the president OF the reading
committee to make u for the time he is sup
posed to lose from his work while engaged
in counting votes OF making the weekly coll
lection.
According to the Cuba RerieW and BHlletin
these readers earn from $40 to $40 a week.
reading for period Of three or four hours
a day. AS a rule each factory has two
readers ard newspapers are taken up in the
morning and books or novels in the after
noon.
The selection of the book or novel to be-
read is an interesting feature. IL takes the
character CT a political election, each man
voting for he book he wants. The presi-
dent OF the reading committee counts the
votes and announces the winning book.
which is forthwith bought and placed in its
turn to bs read.
The cigar maker is a very independent
workman. lie has no fixed hours. but
can 30 and come as he peases. If he re-
mains away no more than reasonable
time he can have his old place back again.
All work is piece work., but wages are
according to the size and the kind of cigar
he can make. He is allowed TO talk and
smoke while working. but the reading
keeps the men quiet and industrious.
Those who cannot read or write are yet
kept Informed on public questions and are
able 10 discuss intelligently problems Of
national and municipal interest. They
seem to he well posted on scientific dis
coveries and other matters.
IL is common that the newspapers have
editorials or articles which arouse the
patriotic feel ings of the men. Then the
reading is stopped. voices are heard COM
menting ON the subject treated and their
knife or ohaveta is struck violently on the
fiat surface Of their working table.
This in their mode Of applauding. Some
times the national hymn and other popular
airs are entoned. but singing is reserved
for important occasions. such as the victory
Of Cuban in a foreign country in some
athletic contest. in a hard game wrunE
visit Havana each year
The excitement. however only lasts
for few minutes, work IL at once resumed
and the only voice heard in the big room is
that of the reader.
The wages earned by the cigar makers
vary. Some make as much as $50 a week.
while others who are not experts in maxi
ing the selected sizes draw a weekly salary
Of $40 or SIS a week.
Some cigar operatives need only to make
a small number OF good cigars a day TO
draw big wages, because the cigar they
make ~ an expensive one for which they
get 10 or IS cents.

Force OF Habit.

From The ROstOn Herald
A Boston psychologist was recently re-
minded of the story OF the Russian iailer
who, changing his occupation. found the
chief interest Of his leisure moments in catch
ing birds. putting them in cages and selling
them to the highest bidder
The scientist having to attend series
OF lectures in a large public hall struck up
acquaintance with the Ianitor Of the building
and soon noted in him n suggestive bent Of
mind. The man seemed fond of counting the
people. and would occasionally report the
exact number present, We have IFS here

the fact that the janitor had spent many or
the previous years OF his life as wa rden In
