The Words on a Cigar Box.

What mean the various words which are’ stamped on the lid and sidesuf a cigar box? These are not mere fancy names, but terms actually descriptive of the cigar. On the lid is the name of the cigar. The front of the box describes the shape and size, as “conchas,” “relna,” “regalias,” which state the shape, and “perfecto infantes,” “princesses,” which signify the size. These may be combined, as “conchas speciales,” “conchas Anas,” to state both shape and size. At the back of the box, where the lid turns over, Is stamped the quality of the cigar—‘superfina,” “fina,” “flor,” “superior and “bueno,” being the terms in the descending scale. The color of the cigar is declared on the right hand side or end of the box. “Claro” signifies the lightest colored, “Colorado claro” rather dark, “Colorado” dark, “Colorado maduro” darker, “maduro” very dark, “oscuro” extremely dark, “negro” dark-. «wt. - , ' ■

BEGAN YOUNG.

Had “Coffee fierr*»” from Youth. “When very young I began using coffee and continued up to Che past six tnontba,” writes a Texas girl. “I had been exceedingly nervous, thin, and very sallow. After quitting coffee and drinking Postum Food Coffee about a month my nervousness disappeared and has never reti/rned. This la the more remarkable as I am a primary teacher and have kept right on with my work. “My "complexion now is clear and posy, my skin soft and smooth. As a good complexion was something I had greatly desired, I feel amply repaid even though this were the only benefit derived, from drinking Postum. “Before beginning its use I bad suf sered greatly from indigestion and headache; these troubles aro now unknown. “Best of all, I changed from coffee to Postum without the slightest inconteuicnce, did not even have a headache. Have known coffee drinkers who were visftlng me, to use Postum a week without being aware that they were not drinking coffee. “I have known several to begin the use of Postum and drop It because they did not boil It properly. After explaining bow It should be prepared they ■ have tried it again and pronounced it delicious.” Ll! Name given Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

WASHINGTON GOSSIP

Construction work on the Panama canal will be rushed next year. Thirtytwo millions, approximately, are to be expended. Congressman James A. Tawney of Minnesota, chairman of the committee on appropriations,' just returned from Panama with ’Wventeen members of the committee, predicts that the canal will be completed by Dec. 31, 1914. “We found everything going along in the most satisfactory way,” the Congressman declares. “There may be a million cut off the sum of 332,000,000 asked for construction, although demands In the main have been modest Reductions will be asked In only a few departments. “Social conditions there are better generally than among the workmen of the United States. Workmen are well cared for and satisfied. We found the ■employes, clerical, TSMtcai 'aird'enginveering, were paid 50 per cent more than at home, while quarters are furnished. A single man gets a room; married men a house. Canal men are paid one-third more than at home, and they can live more cheaply. The government sells them supplies at a lower rate than home prices. Ice water and light dre cheaper than In New York. Sanitary conditions are all that can be desired.” In all the money centers of the country, as well as in Wall street, the news o|the government’s bond and note Issues caused a feeling of relief and the financial skies were clearing. Everywhere bankers were eager to get the new securities and there was no need of an underwriting syndicate. Many Bent telegrams of congratulation to the President and Secretary Cortelyou. Subscriptions to both issues have already begun to pour in. Nevertheless Chicago’s clearing house carried out its project of issuing certificates indeuominations of sl, $2, $5 and $lO, and over $3,000,000 In these were eagerly grabbed for current business needs. At New York quantities of currency brought 2 and 3 per cent on the curb. But at the same time arrangements were In progress for . a resumption of a cash basis all over the country. The indictment of three officials of the Borough Bank of Brooklyn for false reports of the bank’s condition was taken as another sign of the financial housecleaning in progress. —Three railroad companles, the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe, St Louis and San Francisco, and the Missouri Pacific, have absolutely declined to comply with an order of the Postofflce Department that for the next forty days these roads should cany empty mall bags and other mall equipment b»ck to the distribution centers without compensation therefor. The reason for this order was a desire to prevent a tie-up or congestion of mail during *nd just preceding the holidays. To this end, it was thought that it would be well to have the equipment transferred more speedily than can be done by freight, which Is the method provided. While there is some doubt as to the right of the department to enforce Its order, the law permits the use of the express companies for the purpose In question, which would meet the emergency, though proving rather expensive. The military authorities of the various governments have not overlooked the important part which airships will probably play in the wars of the future, and are making active preparations for both offensive and defensive operations along this line. It Js reported that Captain Thomas T." Loves lace, the aeronaut, recently made a balloon trip over the walls of Fort Wadsworth, New York Harbor, and took a series of bird’s-eye photographs of the fortifications, showing the entire practicability of obtaining information this way. This material was turned over to the War Department, arid it is intimated that the aeronaut will be given a commission In the United States Army Balloon Corps.

Developments in regard to the pending prosecutions of the tvhisky dealers for violation of the pure food law indicate that the question as to what should be construed as pure whisky was finally decided by President Roosevelt, to whom the matter was taken by Dr. Wiley, chemist of the Department of Agriculture. The President concurred with the chemist In the opinion that to meet the requirements of the law the whisky must be the pure spirits, unmixed with neutral spirits, flavoring or coloring matter, which produces the article called “blended whisky.” Delegates from five Central American republics met with Secretary of State Root and Ambassador Creel of Mexico at Washington to discuss a permanent peace program. Speaking as the temporary chairman, Mr. Root told the delegates very plainly that hereafter something more than fine words and promises must be given, and that tiie means for enforcing a peace agreement must be supplied which would hold responsible those who might violate It

Incidental Music.

One afternoon a couple from an adjoining town presented themselves to a Boston divine and asked to be married just as be was about to enter the pulpit to conduct an afternoon service. The minister replied that he regretted that he could not at that moment comply with their wish, but that immediately upon the conclusion df the service he would take pleasure in performing the eereinohy. The lovers after demurring seated themselves In the rear of the church. When the minister had finished the service he made the following announcement: “The parties who are to be joined in matrimony will present themselves at the chancel immediately after the singing of hymn 415, ‘Mistaken Souls that Dream of HeavenF H ~ - 7- ;

The Italian fruit vernier muttered an angry threat as a passer-by slyly “lifted” a rosy apple from the stand and disappeared hurriedly into a convenient crowd. __ “Ay puncha da face offa da nexa mon wha’ taka da app!” declared the Italian vehemently. A passing policeman heard the remark and at once selected a blushing Baldwin. “Now punch,” he suggested, pleasantly. “Ah, notta you,” replied the Italian smilingly. “Ay saya da nexa mon.”— Judge.

They were just as thick as they could be. My hair all came out I let the trouble run along, taking the doctor’s blood remedies and rubbing on salve, but it did not seem to get any better. It stayed that way for about six months; then I got a set of the Cuticura Remedies, and in about a .week I noticed a big difference, and in three weeks it was well entirely and I have not had the trouble any more, and as this was seven years ago, I consider myself cured.

Productive Power of Western Canada Soil.

Winnipeg correspondence: There has never been any who have doubted the productiveness of the soil of Western Canada, but there are sometimes found those who question the fact of its superiority. During the past season it has been shown that in grainraising qualities it possessed the very best. The late spring prevented grain being sown in many cases before the middle of May. Yet, a large percentage of that sown at that time produced excellent yields. Had it not been for the frost early In August, which visited most of the north half of the continent, there would have been a magnificent yield in every district in Western Canada. Throughout the Southern Alberta -district, where about 100,000 acres was sown to winter wheat, the yield will be enormously large. There are vast tracts of valuable grnin-growtng land in Western Canada that are available for homesteads, the Canadian Government giving 160 acres free, and entry may be made by proxy, by any near relative, thus saving "considerable cost to the American have entrymade in this way. Any Canadian Government Agent will give yQu the tjpqjyrfYour correspondent lias Just received the following letter from Craik, Saskatchewan, which bears out the statement made in the first part of this letter • “Craik, Sask., August, 1907. “May 24th we planted a Dahlia root, “which we brought with us from Minneapolis. Aug. 12th, 80 days later, it "was in bloom. The plant is now 4% “feet high and covered with blossoms. "We never got half as many flowers on “U_-in Minneapolis, even during September and October, although we had “more time to attend to it there.” I mention this only as an example of the great productive power of the soil here in Saskatchewan, Canada.

LEAN MEAT DIET.

The poison-destroying functions of his liver and the poison-eliminating capacity of ibis kidneys axe taxed to the utmost to keep the’proportion of ptomaine and leucomaines in the tLssues down to a point which permits of the performance of ,tlie vital functions. margin- of tsafety wfaidrmature has wisely made very large in order to provide for emergencies is reduced to the narowest possible limit, so that anything which temporarily interferes with the functions of the liver or the kidneys, or which imposes additional work upon them, may be sufficient to obliterate the safety margin and produce an attack of grave or fatal disease. Invasion of the body by ptomaineproducing microbes, such as the typhoid bacillus, the bacillus of diphtheria, the pneumococcus of Friedlander, the shocks resulting from accident, and even the depression of a severe cold may be sufficient to consume the meager emergency capital, and the result Is actual inflammation of the kidneys, or death under chloroform or from shock following an operation under anesthesia.

Story off a Clever Jackdaw.

In a small cottage In Herefordshire there lived a family who owned a very large but clever Jackdaw which was noted for its very witty sayings. One day the jackdaw saw the lid of the stewpot partly off, so thinking he should like a meat dinner he went out and caught a frog and put it in the boiling water in the stewpot, which had in some pieces of beef. After this the jackdaw went quietly back to his perch and waited till dinner timer -All went well till the cook began to share the dinner out before the family. Every time she pulled a piece of meat out of the pot the jackdaw said, “That’s not mine; that’s not mine,” till at last the Cook pulled out the frog, when he exclaimed in a very triumphant voice ( “ThaCs mlae; that’s mine.” The shock nearly made the guests faint away, but nevertheless the Jackdaw got his meat dinner, while the others did without for a change.—London Answers.
