Concerning Your Ciqar.

THE custom of naming cigars after
famous men or conspicuous men
and women is on the decline. 1t has
been on the wane for several years. A
generation ago, or even a decade ago,
the custom was in high favor. Not only
statesmen and near statesmen but
actors and actresses and successful
jockeys were honored. or used, in this
manner. Whether the cigar maker aimed
to ennoble the man for whom he named
the cigar or whether he sought to popu-
larize his cigar by trading on the popu-
larlty of name, is a question that may
be easily answered by men skilled in
there was mutual advertising in the
practice, but the habit has been passing
When the great mass of American
cigars were imported. or were believed
to be imported. which is very much the
same thing, there was run on pleas
ant-sounding and fowery or floral Span
ish names. Cigar names were then rich
in vowels. Then came the era Of per-
sonal names-names that for the moment
we're on the tip Of the public's tongue.
About the time Of the Spanish war and
at an increasing rate since that war
there has been a drift back to Spanish
names or names that though they may
not be good Spanish have a very Span
ish sound.
A cigar expert was talking with The
Star man. and he said that there are
many popular beliefs, amounting almost
to superstitions. concerning the cigar.
One of these is that the whittier the ash
and the longer 1t holds. the better the
cigar The ash Of the best Havana, made
from the choice leaves of selected plants
grown in the Abajo Vuelto region. Is
steel gray, and the length of time the
ash holds together depends partly upon
the care of the smoker. how well the
cigar is rolled" and the size Of the
filler used in making that cigar.
There is also nothing in the spotted
wrapper which has anything to do with
the flavor or aroma Of the cigar. yet
some men will reject a spotted cigar as
no good, while others will select It as
superior to the unspotted cigar. Then
there is the matter Of color In its reia-
tion to strength. There is no such rela-
tion. Tobacco light in color may be very
strong and tobacco very dark In color
may be charmingiy mild. Then it Is
the strength Of the filler which regulates
the strength Of the cigar. and q nght-
colored wrapper may be put on a dark
colored filler, and a rich red-brown wrap
per on a light ginger-colored niler. Inc
only way a real expert can tell much
about a cigar is to smoke it. A cigar
ought to be judged like good horse
not SO much on points as on per-
Torrance.

Hideous Auto Horn.
New York Evening World.

from the New York Evening World.
Harsh, raucous and diabolicar' are
some Of the terms United States cir
cult court judge applied to a typical au-
tomobile horn the manufacturers of
which are so proud of it that they went
to law to suppress the imitation of a rival
firm. The peculiar merit of the horn
involved in the litigation said the
judge, seems to be that it is capable of
making more strident. insistent and inso-
lent noises than any that ever preceded
it"
Deciding that 1t is impossible to patent
noise" the judge declared that "as both
parties are almost equal offenders in the
matter of producing Objectionable sound,
II Is Unnecessary to dwell on this phase
OF the case, except to say that the ideal
automobile horn has certainly not yet
been invented Has it ever occurred to
any manufacturer of this necessary part
OF motor equipment to devise a pleasing,
deep-toned, musical signal instead of the
horse, ratchety coughs or unearthly
screeches that now multiply by millions
the noise torments of the land? There
are private automobiles in New York
that carry whistles as nerve racking as
the scream Of a locomotive. For fire en-
gines or ambulances such warnings may
be necessary. Private motorists who in
stall them for city use should be prompt

enough noise torture. The law now bans
fume-spitting motor cars as intolerable
nuisances. What else are hideous auto
horns?

Of vital and adventurous painting. Even
our illustration is winning back some of
the quality that distinguished 1t twenty
years ago.
One proof of the alertness Of the art

The Scandinavian Nature.
From the Century Magazine.

From the Century Magazine.
There is sweetness in the Scandinavian
nature. but you reach it deep down past
flint. The late Gov. Johnson of Minneso-
ia drew people because he had imagina
ton and tenderness-traits none too COM
mon among his people They are un-
demonstrative in the family, and it Is
not surprising that their youth on the
farms are restless from heart hunger.
Besides, there is dearth of recreation.
The Norwegian has his violin, but the
Swedish folk dances we hear SO much
about were not brought in by the immi-
grants. They lack the German Maen-
nerchor, Turnverein and Schuetzenfest.
1t is unusual to find them organizing ath-
letic sports Their social gatherings GEN.
ter in the church, which Of course acts
as a damper on the spirits Of the young.
They love fun. to be sure. but have not
the knack of making it. Shut up within
themselves, hard to reach, slow to kindle
and dominated by an austere hell-fire
theology, they are too often the prey of
somber moods and victims Of suicide and
insanity.
An experienced social orker finds self
ishness the besetting sin Of the Scandi-
navians he deals with. If settlement
class gets q room or camp 1t objects
to any others using it. In any undertak-
ing they have in common with other ma
