No Market for Cigar Boxes.

A pie of empty cigar boxes reached
nearly to the ceiling in a Main street
cigar store.
Were giving them away for kndling
wood" the dealer said. There is no
market for empty cigar boxes. Cigar
factories pay two cents or more apiece
for them and when once used they are
worthless. The government places q
revenue stamp upon them, and specifies
that they shall not be used again for
cigars. AS result thousands are
burned every day. Some of them are
pretty, too, and all are perfectly made

garians live longer than any other race
There are at the present time close to four
thousand men and women in that country
who are centenarians, one inhabitant in
every thousand having achieved the CEN
fury mark. The astonishing longevity of
this race is attributed to the fact that the
people live chiefly on milk, says Woman's

them to drink milk even after ii has be-
come sour, and many have been known to
thrive on milk q fortnight old.
