EGYPTIAN CIGARETTES.
Made by Greeks of Greek Tobacco and
Due to a Government Monopoly.

A controversy which has been 60
ing on in Europe. and especially in
England, a to the rival merits of
Turkish and Egyptian cigarettes seems
likely to be settled by a report of a
disfnterested but o%bservant American
Consul.
Though the United States is the
great cigarette producing nation of
the world there are imported into
this country every year more than
$4,000, 600 worth of foreign made
cigarettes, some Turkish and some
Egyptian.
Turkey is a large tobacco producing
country, yielding 10000 ions of tobac-
co every year, and the Turks. it is
Vol known, are a nation of smokers.
The amount of tobacco raised in Egypt
Is considerable, and yet Egyptian
cigarettes are imported into this
country in considerable mounts ev-
cry year.
The explanation of the matter, as
offered by the American Consul in
Athens is simple. 1t seems that the
Greek tobacco crop last year was the
largest Greece ever harvested-about
2oo,odo.o0o pounds. A brand of Greek
tobacco is used for Egyptian cigar
cites.
why, it is asked, Egyptian? The
answer is that Egyptian cigarettes are
made by Greeks, because cigarette
PAPER is too expensive in Greece,
where it is a Government monopoly.
Thus the business has gone over to

Egypt. The most famous cigarette
makers of Egypt are Greeks.
A very large business in cigarette
making has been established in Alex
andria, and it is in the hands of
Greeks, who import their tobacco
from their W country and in turn
ship it to foreign countries, England
and the United States being the chief
market for Egyptian cigarettes, which
are, in fact, Greek cigarettes, those
bearing the title Turish being I'M
ported from Turkey direct.

dive o. The tramp type, lie evidently
talked even a passing acquaintance
with water and soap, and his clothes
were obviously built for other men.
The man who had paid for the trous-
ars he wore a very much shorter
and stouter than he, resulting in a
chilling discrepancy at the angle and
al u~npleasantly suggestive looseness
at the waist. The waistcoat refused
terms OF intimacy with the trousers,
and a not over-clean shirt did its best
to fill the gulf between them. His
coat was buttonless, a fact which mat
tered but little as the two edges failed
TO meet across his chest. n huge
safety spanned the open space at his
throat, fastening the upturned collar
to a protective position and importing
an air of festivity 70 his entire cos
tune.

the tail end brakeman, YEARLY, when
he discovered the tramp on the bump
ers.

tramp, we're all in-the pup an me.
and The pup amt feelin' Welt"
He laid open a corner of a dirty
piece OF calico, showing a little fox
terrier puppy. The sick animal plead
ed his own cause by Il pitious whine
and the effort to hide his head against
his companion.
The brakeman closed his eyes
tiguratively.
"Therell be enough to kick him
and his pup without my doing it,"
he muttered %leniently, II sought
other duties.
If we can only get to Boston, dog
lums," purred the tramp, III put you
in the doggies' home until you get

After awhile the motion of the
| swaying freight train began to make
| the puppy sick. He tried to lick the
| rough hands that held him so tender

| from side to side and the pain racked

the tramp. anxiously. I'VE sure

AS the train slowed at the Forest

ward the ground and carefully drop
ped the little creature on a spot of
grass.
The sick animal apparently felt that
he was about to be deserted by the
one from whom he had known only
love and tender care. and he uttered
a plaintive yelp of fear. The cry
struck to the tramp's heart.
"Don't be afraid. doglums," he call

mocha and Java" Coffee.

The United States imports about
LOCO, 100000 pounds of coffee yearly.
Some eight-tenths Of tie supply
comes from Brazil. about one-tenth
from other South American countries
and one-teath from Central America
and Mexico.
The importations of Mocha coffee.
which takes its name from the town
Mocha, at the southern extremity OF
Arabia, are only about 100000
pounds annually, and of Java coffee
only about 100000 Geo pounds.
These quantities are SO small as to
constitute only an i~ninitesinal pro-
portion Of the vast CONSUMPTION OF
coffee In the United States. The aver
age import value of South American
coffee is about eight cents per pound.
compared with - and 10 cents for
coffee from Arabia and the East IN
dies.
Turkish and Egyptian traders 90 to
Arabia before the harvest and buy
the Mocha crop on The tree. They
make sure that it is not picked be-
.ore 1t is perfectly ripe, and they at
tend to its preparation themselves.
Such choice Mocha is marketed
largely through Cairo or Alexandria.
and the coffee that reaches Mocha
and is exported from Aoen is only
what these merchants thought too
poor to buy
In view of the fact that the hest
Mocha never reaches this market at
all, and the notorious fact that for
years only al infnitesimal propor
ton of United States imports have
been from Arabia and Java, the off,
elal statement sent u by the United
States Government is doubtless true
IN declaring that the terms Java and
Mocha have now become mere charac-
ter1stics of quality and blend" But
1t would be difficult TO frame any de-
~scrlption of the characteristics of
quality and blend which these terms
are supposed TO represent.
AS matter of fact, therefore the
words Java and Mocha on a brand of
coffee may usually be accepted az
equivalent to the words finest" or
'gest,' or similar adjectives. Only on
coffee which is positively known 10
be the pure product from japanese
plantations or from Arabian Dranta-
tons 90 these terms have any siguid-

Thcre are only a few disinterested
coffee lovers who prefer some

INDIANS USE LEFT
 TO STOP BAYONETS,

SOUTHAMPTON, England, Dec. 2S. A Canadian soldier who has visited several hospitals in the south of Eng land recently saw forty or fifty East Indians all of whom had their left hands bandaged. He asked one of the Red Cross attendants how they all receive the same sort of injuries.
 All of them have bayonet wounds in the left hand, because of their style of fighting" was the reply. When they get close enough for a haud-to-hand fight they throw down their guns, parry the bayOnets of the enemy with their left hand and use their knives with the right hand. Of course they get bad wound in their left hand, but they don't mind that and they almost always get their man"

NAVY LEAGUE WANTS TO BE
INVESTIGATED BY CONGRESS

The Navy League 10 anxious to be in
vestigated. q
The charge has recently been made In
Congress that the Navy League is in
terested through its principal contri-
buting members In boosting the business
OF the armor plate ordnance manufac-
turing concerns of the United States. The
charge was fatty made by Representa-
tive Hensley, Of Missouri. who has in
troduced a resolution calling for a Con-
gressional investigation Of the league.
A. II. Dadmun. secretary of the league
has addressed a letter to Mr.. Hensley
which Is as follows:
Il am sending you herewith recent
Navy League pamphlets bearing on the
reasons for a strong navy. The league
stands for the four battleship program
recommended by the country's official
body of naval experts. viz, the General
Board Of the Navy, Admiral George
Dewey, President.
Certain Congressman have insinuated
that the league Is supported by people
who are Interested In the sale Of war
material to the navy.
They are entirely mistaken. To es-
tablish the purely patriotic purpose of
our organisation our directors will be
glad to have any Congressman examine
our cash books covering the past four
years"

ticipation in war scare news articles
