: CIGAR BOXES.
There is a Tremendous Trade In These

There is a Tremendous Trade In These
Cedar Wood Reoeptacles.
Cigar boxes are a negligible quantity
to the average smoker who stands be-
fore a lastly dressed showcase and
buys five cent straight" or three
for quarter" Few of even the most
inveterate smokers, ever stop to think
Of the number of these boxes used In
the United States during year. or
from where they come.
Thirty millions is the total number
of boxes supplied to cigar mnnufactur-
ers in the United States. Many mil
lions more enter the country filed with
foreign rolled cigars from Cuba. Porto
Rico and the Philippines. Manufacture
ers declare that the boxes made from
Spanish cedar, wood which is rarely
seen outside of Cuba. is the best for
packing the seductive weed.
Various woods have been tried. but
wherever used connoisseurs have pro-
tested that even the finest of cigars
were spoiled by putting them in boxes
made from other wood than Spanish
cedar. This wood always retains the
flavor of a good cigar. and some assert
that it greatly improves the favor
The reason given is that the Spanish
cedar grows only in that soil which
produces the finest quality Of what is
known as Havana tobacco. ~ Washing

CURIOUS DUeLs.

combats In Which the Weapons Sc

An extraordinary duel was fought
near Mont Blanc In France. Two

the same girl arranged to fight duel.

district, many thousand feet up. where
avalanehes are known to fall at fire.
uuent intervals. the lovers agreed to
take it in turns to stand for given
time In the most dangerous spot that
could be found. The idea was that
when one was killed by an avalanche
the other should be free to propose
10 the girl whom they both loved. In
this case the idea became fact.
This is not the only instance on rec
ord OF duel by avalanche. A few
years ago two Iatlians, named Guetta
and Sorato, decided to test fate in this
manner, and also for the love OF a
woman.
For three mornings they tempted ma
ture. but nothing serious happened. On
the fourth day Guetta was knocked
down by a falling avalanche, but not
much hurt Then it was that their
food supply gave out and they return
ed home to get some more. By this
time the police had come to hear Of
their strange duel, and threatened them
both with Imprisonment So the un-
daunted rivals settled their differences
in another and less adventurous way.
They drew lots for their lady love.
Sorato won. and after Guetta had left
the village he was married to the girl
of his choice.--London Answers.

seen that the shells accommodate
