FOR THE SMOKERS.

Though the United States is the
greatest cigarette producing nation oil
the world, there are imported into this
country every year more than $4,000
900 worth of foreign made cigarettes,
some Turkish and some Egyptian.
Turkey is large tobacco producing
country, yielding $4,000 ions of tobac-
co, every year, and the Turks, it is
well known, are nation of smokers
The amount of tobacco raised in Egypt
is inconsiderable, and yet Egyptian
cigarettes are imported into this coun
try in considerable amounts every
year.
The explanation of the matter Is
simple Ii seems that the Greek to
bacco crop last year was the largest
Greece ever haryested--about 100000,
900 pounds. A brand Of Greek tobac
co is used for Egyptian cigarettes.
Why, it is asked, Egyptian? The
answer is that Egyptian cigarettes
are made by Greeks. because cigarette
paper is too expensive in Greece
where 1t is government monopoly
Thus the business has gone over tt
Egypt. The most famous cigarette
makers of Egypt are Greeks.
A very large business in cigarette
making has been established in Alex

SOME OLD TREES.

Among the Oldest living things must
be ciassed certain trees. More than
a century ago de Candolle found two
yews in England that were estimated
to be two thousand five hundred and
three thousand two hundred and forty
years old, respectivefully. Both OF
these trees, 1t is stated, are still flour
ishing. the older having trunk OF
the circumference OF twenty-seyen
feet.
A gigantic baobab of Central Anieri
ca, with trunk twenty-nine feet
through, was thought by no less an
authority than Humboldt to have At
tained the respectable age of five thou
sand one hundred and fifty years.
Mexican botanists have asserted that
they have discovered lifespan even
greater than this, and from the annual
rings of a cypress of Chapultepec,
whose trunk is one hundred and eigb-
teen feet In circumference, 1t is esti
mated that the tree is six thousand
Two hundred years old.

TWENTIETH CENTURY PROVERBS
BY John S. Kendall.

A man may choose his friends. His
relatives are thrust upon him.
Sometimes mans failures accom-

Half-truth is mighty and will pre-

Money covers a multitude OF sins.
People who make history seldom
know it in time TO avoid the conse-
quences.
1t is kind of wisdom to despise
what you cannot have.
Man wants bur little here below
and experience soon teaches him the
futility of wanting even that.
Lots of people are so busy holding
on 10 their money that they haven't
time to hold on to their repW Wations.
The man who goes fishing for com
piments has to bait for a whale in

Observe the able man--how he tolls
up the steep path to success! Be-
hold the flatterer-how he is carried

When a man has nothing In hi5

1t is a merry shoemaker who laughs
last.
| A wise man breads no criticism but
his childrens.
| A man never feels so virtuOus as
| when his friends have persuaded him
10 do something creditable which will
work out TO his pecuniary advantage.
Tact is like money-there are lots
OF people who do not seem to have
as much of 1t as they need.

members OF the band we're recently re-
leased from prison, where they served
sentences for frauds practiced on Europ.
can firms, and on account of a boycott
by the steamship companies they can
ship no goods to Europe.
"They are now practicing on Amer
lean importers" says the vice-consul,
"snd have received complaints from
American firms swindled in the most
shameful manner. The various chambers
of commerce 10 the United States should
warn importers to refrain from dealings
with the members Uf the band"
