supplied to the manufacturers Of the
seductive weed each year. The best
boxes come from Cuba and are known
as Spanish cedar.
After the war with Spain the supply
Of this wood was greatly diminished
and its price raised. SO that for a
time cigar dealers were obliged to find
a substitute for this kind OF cedar.
Various woods we're tried, but trou.

because connoisseurs insisted that a
fine cigar was spoiled by putting 1t In

This wood always retains the flavor
of good cigar. Indeed. some persons
assert that 1t improves the flavor. The
reason given is that it grows in the
same localities.

Out In the dark, In the harbor Of
Boulogne, the ship Edinburgh Castle
lay rocking in the wind. Prince Louis
Bonaparte, who had chartered her, and
the handful of his followers who had
sailed with him on her from England
had disembarked quietly at twilight,
and In small companies had succeeded
In entering the town and the quarters
Of the officers who were, in France,

Aladenize, the host of the Prince, a
short council had been held to go over

He sat erect and listened. Thelin
was brushing clothes with energy In
the bedroom. and through another door
there came light sound of q paper

glow suddenly warmed the Princes
heart; here was some one who had
known his mother, who had been, In.

was some one who cared for him, he
believed 1t, with a half-consuming
flame of devotion. Since the mans
arrival from Virginia six weeks before,
to have him near himself had been a
pleasure to Louis Bonaparte; he
seemed to bring back the freshness

As She Is Spoke on Clyde.

The best English is said to be
spoken in Scotland-but not on the
Clyde!
A Londoner, just returned from
Scotland, sends Daily Chronicle cor

the Chevaiier Bearpre.
II was all as II should be; he was
entirely happy. he had asked three
wishes Of the good fairies, as he had
said long ago; that the prince should
be emperor-that he might become "a
marshal Of France under another Bona
parte"-that Alike should love him.
The first two he believed about to be

A knock came at the door OF the

sat with Lucy Hampton's letter before

his highness would like to see the

locked swiftly into the drawer with
Lucy's letter and "the princes bright
