A TALK ABOUT CIGARS.

Mon Think They Are Experts When They Know Nothing. . an 0 "Nino men out of ten when you hand them a cigar will roll It tenderly between the fingers and smell U. knowingly before attempting to smoke it," said an avenue cigar man recently. "After puffing on it a minute or two. If you aak Me ouiaJoo. Ifce —O' you about the cigar, its mage, grade and price, and inform you ia a confidential way that he knows all about tobacco, and cigars in particular. In ninety-nine cases out of one hflnared his information will be wrong, a» only the tobacco expert can quickly Judge of the intrinsic merits of a cigar, and frequently he will be at fault. “For commercial purposes all cigar* are divided into three grades of tobacco, known as dark, medium and light, but these are grouped into subheadings. —_ "The grade of tobacco used in a cigar has nothing whatsoever to do With its size, and there is practically no limit to the number of sizes. Any cigar manufacturer may bring out a cigar of special size and give it whatever name he please. The best known and most frequently used sizes however, in the cigar trade are the ‘conchas,’ which are divided into ‘bouquet’ and ‘especial,’ ‘regalia bouquets’ and ‘puritanoe,’ the ‘breva’ and ‘panatella’ having a distinct shape of their own. The ‘panateila’ 1s a long, thin cigar, with tapering ends, whereas the ‘breva’ is finished off short at both ends and has ao even thickness throughout, except a slight narrownesa at the end which ~la held in the mouth. “Undoubtedly the best tobacco smoked In cigars in this country is the native, grown, Cuban tobacco, and the cigar Is further improved if it is made in Cuba, particularly in the Province of Havana, For thta reason many socalled Havana cigars are in reality cigars made in this country and shipped to the island, whence they are shipped to the United States, and the revenue stamp is duly pasted on the boxes to deceive the uninitiated. "Many smokers who prefer a light .wrapper enjoy the flavor of the Manila wrapper with the Havana filler. To satisfy this taste the Havana tobacco frequently ts wrapped in Connecticutwrapper, which Is colored to look like a Manila wrapper. Inferior grades of cigars frequently are made of doctored tobacco, acid being used to stain wrappers a light straw color in spots. The best leaf of the tobacco plant is that which grows nearest to the ground, and when the rain splashes mud on the leaf these little straw colored spots Appear when the tobacco is cured. When these spots %re genuine the wrapper will be a good tobacco of Its grade, but whether it is acid main or not the expert will be able to determine.’*—Washington 9-ar.

HUMOR IN TEXT OF CLERGY.

Amusing Remark* Which Were Most fteriooetv Intended. Part of the humor which one occasionally meets with, even in the sedate incloeure of the pulpit, is due to the queer texts which are sometimes —often unconsciously—chosen by the preachers. No doubt there are many stories told under this head which owe their origin not to actual fact so much as to the invention of; the rag. Tor example, a minister on the Sunday before his marriage“~ll~ said to have chosen as his text, “And he went -on his way rejoicing." and. on the Sunday after his honeymoon to bate eloquently discoursed on the words. “Remember my bonds.” These instances are probably, apocryphal. but the following are true sad have all come within the experience of the writer. It was in the north of England that the first incident happened. It was a country church where oU lamps were used Instead of gas. One night in the late summer when the !&m.>s had not yet been resumed after ‘he long days. It got suddenly overeat and before the sermon it was deemed necessary to light the pulpit lamp. During the hymn the old sexton repaired to the onlpit, and. having cleaned the glass ch'mney with a duster lit it up. but nnlv' a feeble light struggled through .Vrd then the clergyman took hfs text, which was this: “And now we see through a glass darkly."

A few vears ago a well-known bishop married his second wife, and. returning home after his boneymooh. anrmineod a series of sermons, the tie of the series being “The Penltenfs Return." This was obviously unintentional.

There is & church In one of our larg? cities which boasts of n very high pulpit. A aho*i. time a pro a ate-"*,. ;«reacter who was of a nervous temperament "occupied” this pulpit, but, as- the sequel will show, only 'or a short time, for hating taken his t-xt and said about a dozen ifjbrds, he startled the congregation by saying: "I am not used to pulpits as high as this; you wij] pardon me, I know, if I come down and preach my sermon from the lectern. And this was his strangely appropriate text: "He that ecalteth himself shall be aliased, and be that humble! h himself shall be exalt'H." One more instance: N'" many months ago a clergyman preao yt one Sunday evening from the text. “My words shall not pass away." Exact ly a fortnight later the same clergyman preached the same Bermon from the satne text In the same church, to Wfe wonderment of practically tbs same congregation. Evidently It was his determination that at say rate his words should not pass away tram *h# memory of hi# hearem
