Cigar Nomenclature.

The nomenclature of the cigar trade
Is one of the veiy interesting phases
Of democracy. No gentleman intent
upon building up market for a 10
cent cigar ever named it for states
man. He complimented, instead, an
actor, .philanthropist, a race horse,
a hypothetical Indian maiden or sup
posititious Spanish grandee. To have
named a 10-cent cigar for a statesman
would have been to queer" both the
cigar and its involuntary patron. The
people would not have stood for that
sort of thing. 1t would have pre-
sumed certain superiority which they
would have rebuked both at the cigar
stand and at the polls-Philadelphi

Tides Move Bio RulIdinn.

The historic Tower of London moves
four times daily as the tides of the
Thames river ebb and flow. The
movement is most pronounced in the
part nearest the river. The move
ment is due to the fact that many tons
of water penetrate under the founda-
ticns with the rising tide, which move
ment has the effect Of moving upward
the whole mass of the tower.

42A London company
which was financially responsible for
the settlement Of Virginia. He became
so enthusiastic over the possibilities
In the new colonies that he desired
to found colony himself. After ex-
ploring the country just north of the
Potomac he persuaded King Charles
to grant him this territory In honor
Of the queen, Henrietta Maria, this
new colony was called Maryland.
The payment for this grant was
specified as two Indian arrows a year,
together with a fifth part of all pre-
ciOus metals which might be mined As
the colony produced no gold or silver
the cost of Maryland amounted to
only two arrows each year, and Lord
Baltimore became TO all intentS and
purposes an independent sovereign.
AS a matter of fact the charter was
not issued until just after the death
Of Lord Baltimore, but as the deed
was hereditary 1t descended to the
second Lord Baltimore, under whom
the first settlement was made at st.
Mary's in 1884. This hereditary mon
the sixth Lord Baltimore, the Declara-
ton of Independence in 1776 brought
1t to an end.
In 1888 Maryland adopted the Con-
stitution and took it's place as the sew
enth state in the Union. It's area to-
tails 1897 square miles, and it is
thickly populated, so that Maryland
is entitled to eight presidential cleo
tors.

1862.
The fact that the Carolinas became
later two distinct colonies was due to
chance. 1t happened that the earliest
settlements located at points far re-
moved from each other. The first per-
manent settlements in South Carolina
were about Charleston, while those in
North Carolina were around Abe

before the Revolution the population
showed twice as many blacks as

In 1929 the government of the Caro-

formed the two separate provinces.
South Carolina was the Aghth state

 Comment directed at the foreign minister falls into two groups. He is upheld by newspapers which have op. posed Frances military policy in the past, and criticised by that section of the press which has maintained dis trust of Germany.
 Curzon's assertion that Frence in pursuing policy of isolation will in the long run not injure Germany, but will fail to protect herself is given prominence in newspaper comment.

Rumors have been current in Japan for more than F months that Elm peror Yoshihito was i'll, and once the. report was circulated that he had died. In denying this, the royal household stated that the emperor was very i'll and might not recover.
 Hirohito, virtually enthroned as ruler of Japan, was born in 1901 and became heir apparent in 1912 when ioshihito succeeded Mutsuhito. Since 1919 Hirohito has participated in the councils of the imperial family and has occupied a seat in the house of peers of the imperial diet He first received foreign diplomats in 1920 when the illness of Yoshohito became so grave he relinquished part of his official duties to the crown prince His latest act of importance was his visit to England and countries on the continent. He is classed as a liberal and progressive. At the present time, his elevation to the regency may have international bearing through the disarmament conference.
