FIRST KNOWN USE OF CIGARS
Mentioned by Name In Book Published
In 1740, but Were Smoked Be-
fore That Time.

The earliest known mention Of
cigars Is In n book published In 11fO
under the title Of "Distresses and
Adventures Of John Cockburn." 1t mp
pears that Cockburn was cast on des-
ert island in the Bay Of Honduras,
from which he swan to the mainland.
and thence Travelled afOOt to Porto
Bcllo. IL distance OF 1900 miles. Here
he met some friars who gave him
some "seegnrs" to smoke. "These."
l,e says, "ure some lenves OF tobacco
rolled up In some manner that serves
both as pipe and the tobacco ITSELF
Though this Is the earliest date at
which cigars appear to he mentioned
by that name, so fur back ms 1893
two soldiers sent by Columbus to ex-
plore Cubn told their companions on
their return how the natives carried
in their mouths lighted fircbrand
innde from the leaves OF certain
herb, rolled up In maize leaves. The
description Of nm Indian method of
smoking given by Lionel Wafer. In
his "Travels in the Isthmus of
Dnrien," In 1899. shows that they
then smoked cigars made just MS we
make them now. The manufacture
and consumption Of cigars In northern
Europe only dates from the close of
the seventeenth century.

Put End to His Bluff.

We know of one man who got by
with the musical stun for years by oc.
casIonnlly mentioning Tschnikowsky
and RnchmanInof when out in COM
pany. He Ind seen the names in n
newspaper one afternoon while wait
ing bnck OF n screen In one of those
trousers pressed while You walt tailor
shops and, being Of nm inquIring ma
ture. he had asked the man with the
iron-a gentleman Of eastern European
extraction-hOw the names were pro-
nOunced and what they meant. Set
right on the pronunciation. he used to
knock all his friends stiff when they
opened the talking machine and began
to discuss records, merely by saying
"Ah. Tschaikowsky! Yes!" or you
know Racnmantnof2 Mop" But one
day the president of the particular
suburban woman's club TO which his
wife belonged saw him down in the
city standing on n street corner listen
Ing to nm italian organ grinder and It
was all on. They dropped him social
ly and everything like that.

Music and Thinking.

About 1000 A. d. monk in an
Italian monastery had been thinking
about the long, laborIous task of train
ing singers for the church service. Ten
years were required for singer to
memOrize words and music Of the va
rious chants and hymns used! There
was no system for learning II new
tune independent OF the words.
And while he was thinking he heard
his choirbOys practicing one Of their
lessons, hymn that rose In pitch with
the first syllable Of each successive
line. just as the scale series was
formed.
Thought flashed!
And the result Of his thinking was
the use of the syllables ut (changed
to do later), re, mi, ia, SOL Ia. 81 to
facilitate scale learning. The imme-
date result was that Guido's choirboys
learned nll their tunes-and could take
new Ones-in six months us against
fen yenrs in the old way.
And the indirect result is that boys
and girls In the schools Of this country
learn the scales by process similar
tc that thought out by monk In Italy
nearly 1000 years ago.
