THE CIGARS CAREER

There is appropriateness in the dis.
tinction Of the Havana cigar. OF
course. Havana cigars may be made
of tobacco from any part of Cuba;
hence. 1t may. be true that Havana
cigars should really be called Cuban
cigars. and the cigars which the so
called civilized world first knew about
were made and smoked in that region.
Frequent essays are made by anti
quarians to show that the use of to-
bacco was known to the Chinese, or
the Hindoostanee, or the Egyptian.
etc, ages before the practice was OBJ
served by the sailors Of Columbus. Ell
forts in this direction have not been
successful or impressive. In q bulletin
Of the census Of 1900, which was pre-
pared by John H. CARRIER. ID q para

bacco question. 81

Makes Body Transparent.

A new method OF giving medical
students instruction which. it is said.
will largely obviate the necessity OF
dissection, will be put into practice at
the Hahnemann Medical college. Phil
adelphia, at the beginning OF the next
term. Physicians and surgeons con-
nected with the department OF anat-
omysare now perfecting the process.
whic originates through the recent
discovery by a German scientist Of
a fluid by the use Of which the human
body can be rendered transparent.
II The fluid, which Is composed OF sew
eral oils, turns the flesh into sort Of
jelly when injected, en-.
abling the student to study the veins,
muscles and bones far better, it is as
serted, than ii they resorted to the
dlssecting knife. 1t is said to be
one Of the most valuable discoveries
in medical science Of late years.

CALL FOR LEGlBLE SIGNATURE.
8uslress Concerns and Hotels, as Weit

Compelled TO insist on That.

KINDLY favor us with a legible sig
nature" is an appeal now often en-
countered. It appears on the letter
heads Of many legal frm and is
conspicuously printed on contracts
and other important documents. In
hotels this request II sometimes used

lister or printed on a card. It hangs

hotels declares that the task of de-
ciphering signatures has reached Q
crisis. @ n. s4sl MP
"It has got to the point where we
couldn't bluff on names any longer"
he said. I'm these days OF constant
telephoning and telegraphing We've
simply got to be sure that every
guests name Is correctly entered on
our books or there's bound to be
trouble.
S"Of course a successful hotel clerk
must have gift for deciphering bad
signatures just as he must have q
good memory for names and faces,
but when man we've never seen be-
fore comes In and scrawls long
wavy line on the register without
single letter plain enough to even
guess at, how are we going to call
him by name the next minute? He
may have important mail waiting for
him or he may be telephoned for any
minute, SO our request for q legible
signature arises out Of necessity"
A member of law firm on whose
letterheads is printed "A legible sig
nature is requested" says that these
few words have saved his firm much
trouble. Papers no longer have to be
returned for resigning, as was for
merly the case, because the first sig
nature could not be read. Before this
request for a legible signature was
made important legal documents often
had to be entirely rewritten because
one Of the parties refused to accept
the signature Of some OF the others
on account of their ELIGIBILITY.
