ABOUT INFERIOR CIGARS.
6m of the Trick Which Hum Vett to th
lr-i4"nt State of Thing.
'I reid n recent article on clioap ci
PTars witlt intentt," tsaiil u c-ijjar manu
facturt r to .1 rejiorlcr. "I not only manu
facture? cigars, but I lo n retail biisitifsj
its well. 1 don't think that tin' tjuulity
of tlm jxipular cigar i.s ua lad :i.s it lias
leeii pictun il. "
'Iio you think the quality couM bo
Hindu any wuw';" :iskel the rcmrt r.
'( i-rtainly," iil tho cigar man. "It
could I; made a great deal worst;.
"Then I t-hould certainly give up tho
weed and go Ixick to tho cob pi" and
oak loaves of iuy boyhood di liglit," baid
the rejiorter.
Tho fact of tho matter is," said tho
cigar man, 'there aro a great many
Ilo who do not know a good cigar when
they get hold of it. I've tested that
matter to my satisfaction. I have delib
erately retailed a 10 cent cigar for 5
cents, and I have had jiersons look tit
one of these, turn it over, smell it, and
declare it waft 110 good, and insisted upon
the regular old o center. Again, a cus
tomer, after smoking my regular grades
of 5 cent cigar for a long time, was fur
nished some of the 10 cent brand. The
next time he came in here ho said:
" 'Why did you change cigars on me?'
" 'I gave you a Letter grade and I
thought you would prefer it.'
" 'Weil, I don't think there is anything
be tter about it, and I am sure I don't
prefer it. Givo mo some of the tiame
stock I have leeii used to having.'
"You see, the man's taste is thor
oughly vitiated. He would have made
the same complaint had I given Lim a
-0 cent cigar. The better the cigar the
worse he would have considered it.'"
'That all may bo true," replied the
reporter, "but the fact remains that most
cf the cigars offered at publio prices sire
Miuplv etinkers. How do you account;
for itV"
The fact of the matter i.s,'' tiaid the
dealer, "my custom is good and I have
to furnish a high grade of cigar. But
there is a class of manufacturers and re
tailers who cater to what we call tran
sient trade. They are the people who
get rich in a hurry and retire from the
business. They, the retailers, never
think of giving a man the grade of cigar
lie asks for. They never expect to see
him again, and unless he investigates his
cigar very closely he will not discover
the inferiority of it until it begins to
burn his tongue. Then he lires it into
the gutter with an imprecation. They
are the men who have no conscience,
who make tlie money and who are re
sponsible for the growl about cheap ci
gars. "Where are they? Everywhere.
"Then, again, these transient trade
sellows calculate that when a man has
smoked the first half of a cigar he throws
it away. To clinch an uncertainty they
have manufactured for them a cigar the
iirst half of which is filled with first class
tobacco, while tho second half is filled
with miserable pickings. "When the man
finishes the first half ho is in splendid
humor; when he enters on the second
half he finds his tongue beginning to itch,
and tho saliva in his mouth to have a
pungent, nauseating taste, which makes
him throw the cigar away. Ho cannot
understand it, but thinks that it is all
caused by the nicotine which collects in
the second half of the cigar the nearer it
is burned out.
"Oli, yes; it is a sharp dodge one of
the trade and dealers who count almost
entirely on transient trade work it for all
it is worth. It is iu a majority of cases
this second half of miserable pickings
which is causing most of tho complaints
about the bad quality of the popular
cigar. Not every man wakes up imme
diately to the deception, and he puffs
away 011 the second half with as much
vigor and satisfaction as he did on the
first. Sometimes ho don't discover it
and sometimes he does, but don't care a
fig. He smokes to bo smoking, and a
stinker suits him just as well as the
choicest brand of Havana would." New

The Hog Bristles Trade.
Years ago it used to be the custom of
our farmers to save all their hog bristles
for taking to the stores as a marketable
commodity, they usually getting a good
price for them. But this has all changed
now, like a great many other tilings of
the past. Isobody buys bristles now,
siuce there is no longer a market for
them, owing to their not being equal in
quality to European bristles. All needed
supplies by brush makers aro now im
ported from the old country. They are
worth their weight in silver, and arc sold
that veay, the money value being put 0:1
one side of the scale and the bristles 0:1
the other. Westchester Local News.

Fire From Steam Pipe.
It still seems to be an unsettled ques-,
tion whether wood can be ignited by the
heat of a steam pipe in contact with it.
It is admitted, theoretically, that it is
impossible for wood to take fire at a
temierature of 212 degs., or somewhat
higher, but it js well known that there
have been a large number of cases of fire
reported as occurring f rpm this cause, and
the evidence is very .conflicting, New

THE MODERN PANORAMA.
Invention of the Circular Form of I'ict
urn A Myhtery to the Spectator.
However far back in tho dim past the
panorama idea can lx; traced, tho roller
panorama is comparatively modern, ami
its career was destined to be brief, for its
miles of canvas with crude color fur
nished pictures that were devoid of en
during qualities. It gave ri.se or revived
an infinitely better mid more instructive
and valuable exemplar in the present
panorama that the eastern cousin calls
tho cyclorama. History credits liobort
Barker, a Scotch artist, with the inven
tion of the circular panorama, he having
exhibited in Edinburgh that city's pan
oramic reflections i;i 178S, it being
followed in succesbion with a view
of London, sea lights and the Na
poleonic wars. Between the old roller
panorama and that of the present there i.s
a deep gulf fixed. The former carried
tho spectator upon a long voyage, with
the leather lunged lecturer as the vocal
accompanist, and from the steamer's
deck 011 which tho audience were sup
posed to view a succe-.:dnn of scenes;
something like a Stoddard lecture or a
guide liook that speaks in a stage voice
from behind the friendly screen of dark
ness. The present jiaziorama or eylo
rama. without any such adventitious
aids, provides the spectator with an ele
vated position in the center of 11 lixed
landscape that has been mado memorable
by some great historical event. It pro
vides a picture that bespeaks its own art
istic value, and bases its incidents upon
recorded fact. It now successfully in
vades the field of historical paintings and
challenges the severer canons cf criti
cism, as well as the skill, truthfulness
and accuracy of the artist.
At the lirst view of tho spectator the
panorama seems to be a mystery. It is
apparently an absolute reproduction of
the scenes represented, the objects seem
ing equal in size with the original ob
jects, and the space covered equally groat.
A circular building, less than 100 feet in
diameter, and not much more than fifty
feet in elevation, expands to the dimen
sions of the space that can be covered by
the eye in an open landscape, and reaches
upward , to the clouds. A iortion of the
foreground, it is very well known, is
composed of real figures and objects; but
the illusion upon the painted canvas is
so perfect that the painted figures seem
hardly less objective than the real ligures,
and without the most careful scrutiny
the dividing line cannot be distinguished.
Surely tho spectator thinks there must
be some wonderful secret known only to
the painter in this illusion. The largest
life size figures are between three and
four feet high.
The most remarkable of recent realistic
aids to the panorama is the foreground.
A recent writer says: Shut out the real
objects in the foreground from 1 he eye.
and tho distances in the perspective will
not be diminished, nor the ligures on tho
canvas rendered less strong in their re
lief. The only service that seems to bj
rendered by the objective portions f
:he foreground is to bring the en
:ire landscape to the feet of the spectator,
c.nd to shut out the intervening space of
bare floor that would otherwise destroy
the illusion. One is surrounded by the
picture above, below, and upon all sides,
and is permitted to see no other object,
standing ujwn a platform, that seem?; to
be erected in the very center of the field
delineated. These are aids to render the
scene more realistic. Any one who Jnw
observed a painting of this character,
without the foreground in position, will
eadily recognize its immense advantage,
when it forms the link between the plat
form anil the canvas. Good; drawing,
spirited color, and finely sustained icr
sjiective, are three requisites that must
figure on the plane of a worthy pano
rama. The linen canvas for panoramas, from
the Wehner studio, is specially woven at
.Brussels, in breadths thirty feet wide by
fifty long, that ar- neatly stitched
together, fourteen widths furnishing the
regulation size. The ground colors alone
cost upward ot 800 before there i.s :.
tracery on tho canvas. It requires nearlj
2.000 pounds of pure white and ultramt.
rine blue for atmospheric glazing. When
a panorama is painted and rolled for
shipment it is coated with three tons of
color, and weighs alxnit live tons, and is
liable to consume another ton of color in
the finishing touches. The panorama of
the "Battle of Sedan."' the heaviest in the
country, weighed eleven tons. Chicago

Tlie Terror of iticlies.
Statistics of suicide show that, after nil.
the poor man rarely commits suicide
owing to poverty. Hundreds of good
fellows, with rarely .$."50 ahead, and five
or six in the family to clothe and feed,
go on with more equanimity than men
with good bank margins. They are gen
erally looking for a job, and frequently
have no work ahead for longer than one
to 6ix mouths. Tens of thousands of day
laborers in the United States rarely know
what their income is to be three months
ahead, yet fm?y are neither depressed nor
miserable, They readily spend their last
dollar; eat liberally, as long as food can
lte had, and economize when they must.
The terror of jioverty is not so overpower

losing is greater than the fear of not get

Earthquakes and the I'laiu-ts.
From a set of earthquake statistics it

these times when tho influences of these
planets are opposetl. Edward S. Iloldcn
