ROLLING Ciqars.

It is common to hear inca complain
Of poorly made cigars, but it is not
always because cigar is indjfferently
or badly made that the wrapper curls
up and comes off. Much Oftener this
comes from the cigar having been
rolled by makers left hand and later
smoked from the hand of a right
handed man. ALI cigarmakers must
use both hands equally well, and econ
Omy both in time and material is the
prevailing rule in tobacco factories.
When a piece of tobacco is cut for the
wrapper it is cut on the bias and rolled
from left to right on the filler, and at
the same time and by the other hand
the remaining pieces are used, being
necessarily rolled in the opposite way.
For this reason the man who holds a
cigar in his right hand, which always
gives few twists during the course
of a smoke. rubs the wrapper the
wrong way, and easily enough it be.

as for his fine feathers. At the Pa

man to empty his snuffbOx into the
fire because bishop had taken a
pinch unasked. A man whom he had
met at dinner offered him lift in his
carriage to Lady jerseys ball. "Thank
you exceedingly" said the beau, but
how are you to 60? You would not
like to get up behind, and cannot be
seen in the same carriage with YOU"

The league requires five committee

men will become members of the state

RAINFALL THIS
SEASON ERRATlC
WEATHER MAN DISCUSSES Gil
MATIC CONDITIONS
Greater Amount of Precipitation in
December, and Since Then There
Has Been Less Than Four
Inches of Moisture

Dry farming, if the advice of Secre-
tary Frank Virgins of the chamber of
commerce is followed, may become the
fashion in Southern California this sea-
son because of the unequal distribution
of rain. Weatherman Wollaber sees
nothing alarming in climatic conditions
or the amount of rainfall to date, but
he declares it unusual for the precipita-
ton to be so unequally distributed
throughout the wet season.
December was the favored month so
far as the weather bureau records
show. The precipitation then was
seven inches. The precipitation to date
for the winter of 1909-1910 is 10.47
inches. Down to February 26, 1909, the
precipitation was 1856. The last heavy
precipitatlon this year was January ]
and January 2, when almost one and
one-half inches was noted. There were
light precipitations January IL, 10, 16
and "a. To date this month the pre-
cipitation has been 81.
1.-THE only thing unusual about the
precipitation this season." said the
weather man, "is in the unequal dis
tribution. In December we recorded
seven inches precipitation. The total
to date is scarcely four inches in addi-
ton to that. In fifteen out OF thirty
two years we have had less rain than
in the present season. The least pre-
cipitation was in 1903-1904 when the
precipitation to February 26 was 2.52
! inches. The greatest precipitation IN
those years was 1891 inches, recorded
in 1889 and 1890"

the packers are paying the producers
10 cents to 101a cents for live hogs, and
the packers are selling the dressed

while the retailers are charging the
consumers from 20 cents to 80 cents a
pound. These are the prevailing quo

will be maintained unchanged for an

ORIENTAL ART
TO BE SHOWN
HAMBURGER STORE TO HOUSE
COLLECTION
JAPANESE PRINTS WILL BE
SHOWN TWO WEEKS
Mrs. MeNicker Has Devoted Many
Years to Securing Work Which
is Representative of Ma
tion's Artistic Thought

The McVicker collection of Japanese
prints, one of the finest collections of
Oriental art in existence today, will be
exhibited at the Hamburger depart
ment store for two weeks, commenc-
ing next Tuesday. The fourth floor
of the Hamburger building will be de-
voted to the exhibition, and an effort
will be made to make this show the
most successful ever held in Los
Angeles.
In connection with the exhibit Mrs.
A S. Lobingier has consented to give
a lecture on japanese art some day,
the date of which win be announced
later. She is a student of the artistic
life of the Japanese.
The collection contains about 600
specimens of the leading artists Of the
period of color prints. Mrs. McVicker
has spent more than a dozen years
collecting and classifying until a rep
resentative number of prints from the
celebrated works of more than one
hundred men has been brought to-
gether.
The early period contains the surri-
nino and hashirake, the smaller size
of print. often faded until delicate
tints are about obliterated. These are
followed by the more vigorous broad
sheets and triptych (three sheets)
depicting all forms OF domestic usages
as well as facts Of history and ira
dition
Utamaro's graceful women are as
distinctive as the style of Gibson.
Hioshigi, with his attractive land
scapes, and Kuniyoshi, with his battle
pieces, are interesting to student as
well as artist. Those interested in
lines and their values will find valu-

able suggestions. The massing of COL
ors and the intricate designs that are
always we'll chosen are a revelation
to the designer.
Mrs. McVicker, who is a writer of
historical articles has found much of
interest in her work OF collecting, and
many pictures have been added as
much for the subject value as artistic
merit. A favorite with her is a single
sheet picture showing the warrior
Binkei in the act of thieving the great
bell of Medra
In one instance five generations OF
artists, whose works are that of mas
ter and pupil, beginning in 1765 and
ending with several prints of Tosh-
kata, celebrated artist now working
in Japan, are shown.
All these pictures must be seen to be
appreciated, and the immense space
allotted for this display will give the
exhibit an unusual advantage, allow
ing the spectators ample opportunity
for comparison.
