STUDENTS WANT
FANCY CIGARS
|OYS AT HEIDELBERG SAID TO

The demand for cigars selling at

1.-THE difficulty is in the wrapper,
(which must be very large. You are
likely to sort 100 bundles of tobacco
and find only 100 wrappers suitable
/ for this kind of cigar"
From sample case containing 462
different sizes and prices of cigars
Alexander took one of the IS brand

Just as the 25-cent straights are call

These are bought mostly by peo-

Il 'Banquets and smokers attended by

cover it as quickly as possible. After
replacing the combs | put 4 Porter

sieve with the drones, after having
brushed off the bees that have clus-

Next morning you find all the bees

drones on their backs kicking the

With bees, why not let your wife or

Bookkeeping is a light, pleasant out

luired and money spent, there is
nothing that will net the wner any
more than the keeping of bees.
AS high as ten dollars worth Of
honey has been gathered by a single
warm of bees; but generally they
gather about two dollars worth in M
season.
Many people would keep bees if It
were not for their stings. A bee
keeper does not get stung often-he
would not any more think of getting
stung In picking up a handful of bees
than you would in picking up a

FINE IRISH HIGHWAY
Is That Constructed Through the
Wicklow Mountains.
Built by Lord CORVALLIS After the
Suppression Of the Rebellion Of
1898, It Passes Through Re-
markedly Pretty Country.

Dublin.-There Is q wonderful Irish
road which If it existed almost any
where else would be far more familiar
to tourists than II now 1t. Motorists
are beginning TO find it, however, and

We rs famous as il deserves TO be, for
the grandeur Of the scenery through
which it passes is hardly surpassed In
the British isles.
Every schoolboy has read of the
roads constructed by Marshal Wade
to facilitate the paCification OF the
highlands of Scotland after the ia
cobite rising OF 1715. says the English
Queen. Wade employed 500 soldiers
in the work, who received sixpence a
day extra pay and whom he faceticus-
~ termed his highwlymen. Few If
any histories, however, record the
fact that similar works were under.
taken in Ireland In connection with
1898. The most remarkable of these
Irish military roads ~traverses the cen
trail line Of the Wicklow mountains.
Until the close Of the eighteenth
century there were only three passes,
Wicklow gap, Sally gap and Glen
malur, by which the retreats of the
great Wicklow chain could be ap-
preached, and each was almost i'm
passable. After defeat in the open
field the rebels OF '98 retreated 10

S~ovexatious and formidable did this
mountain warfare become that the
idea OF taking a leaf out OF Marshal
| Wade's book suggested itself to the
lord lieutenant, Lord CORVALLIS. He
ordered the construction Of what is
known as the Great Military road
in order to lay open the most nacces'
sible tracts. AS ii was deemed eX-
| pedient to station troops at certain
strategic points four extensive bar
| racks were erected upon the road.
