IIOW CIGARS ARE MADE.
_1._
The process of cigar making is not
very difficult to follow. The tobacco
leaves are sorted out into bundles of a
hundred. Thevsorter first takes out the
stem from the leaf, and divides the sheep
from the goats, the dark leaves from the
light ones. The stems and stalks are.
put away, and used afterwards for mak-
ing into snuff. Of course, a-regard for
economy is rigidly enjoined upon the
workers, and a premium paid to 8110011!-
age it. Each bundle is tied up, weighed.
and given to the cigarmaker. who is re-
quired toproduce so many cigarsfrom
‘ the raw material. A cigar'consists of
three parts, the wrapper, the bunch, and
the filler. .Difi'erent classes of leaves go
to make up a ofirtaiIiclass of cigar-say,
for instance,‘ Sumatra, Manilla, and

to give finvor and to ”allow the cigar to
burn evenly. “Let me tell you,” said
my guide, “that the brown paper and
cabbage leaf theory is exploded. It
would not pay us to use them. Yes,
even the ‘penny smokef is made of
genuine tobacco." Each worker sits at
her bench with her materials before her.
On her right is the “ filler "—that is, the
interior or flesh of the cigar. Deft
fingers seize the right quantity and roll
the short leaves together on a board.

ing. This is done very rapidly. By her .
side are the two portions of a wooden
mould, cut into twenty-five cigar-shaped
divisions. Into each of these divisions
the cigar in thorough is placed. One
half the mould joloses pppn the other,
like the lower jaw on the upper. When
four moulds have been thus filled, they
are taken to a press, an iron rod is
passed through each end, and the whole
secured by wedges. Thus compressed
they stand fora 'day or so. The wedges

the sorting, tlic, tying, intobundles, and
the packing fmto boxes. That is the
whole life of anions cigar. As is tho‘

Norris n61: DOG-pars.
Mr. T. M. ‘Dolan, I". R C. S., the
author of a standard work on hydro-
phobic, has drawn up the following
simple remedies for the immediate treat-
ment of dog-bites: “The bite of a
healthy dog cannot cause hydrophobia.
This is a well established fact. As it is
difficult to determine the state of health
of a dog at the time he bites, the wound
should be treated as if the dog were
rabid. Dog-bites should be treated at
once by the person bitten or by the by-
stander, by sucking the wound if pos-
sible ; enlarging ' the wound with a pen-
knife to encourage bleeding; by hot
water fomentation; by free washing
with cold water; by ligature, a piece ‘of
string tied between wound and heart.
After bleeding has been encouraged and
the wound has been well washed apply
hot iron—as a heated penknife, small
key, Sta—caustics, pure nitric, sulphuric
or hydrochloric acid, nitrate of silver,
acetic acid, carbolic acid, ammonia, salt,
Candy’s fluid or piece of hot cinder. If
near a chemist’s the person bitten should
run there, keeping hisg'mouth applied to
the wound, if possiblofand spitting out

man's house, run there at once. If in a
part where the person bitten cannot ap-
ply his megabit?” Dyslnnder should
such thoki‘w'ound—n‘o harm ' can follow
from thus lending assistance. The dog
inflicting the bite should be'kopt under
observation for at least fourteen days.
It will soon be seen whether itlis healthy.
or not. If healthy, there islno fear of
future development of hydrophobia. If

body, three or four'l‘urkish baths should
be taken.'. If the‘peraon bitten is net-
vous, h'o should place himself under the
care of his medical attendant. I have

bites from all parts of the country, and I

The origin of the horseshoe super-

plained. «Among tho'theorios ofi'ered,
that contained in the following. is among
the possibilities: The horseshoe of old

The virtue may have been assigned,
perhaps, by: the rule oflcontrar-iea from

rude resemblance which“ the liOrseshoe
bears to the rays of glory, which, in
ancient pictures, were made to surround
the heads Of saints and angels ; or,
finally, from some notion of‘its purity,
acquired through passingthrough the
fire. This latter supposition receives
some countenance from the method ro-
sorted to fer the cure of horses that had
become vicious, or afflicted by any dis-
temper which village farriery did not un-

11" THE DRUG BTOB‘.
Few persons, when they take a physi-
cian’s prescription to a druggist's shop,
’ appreciate the measure of responsibility
which they thus impose upon the apo-
thecary. It. is generally thought that
the work of the man behind the counter-
is merely clerical; that, with the-formula
distinctly made out“ by the doctor, all
that he has to do is to mix the ingredi-
ents, paste a lable upon the box or hot-
tle, and receive the customer's money.
Sometimes the apothecary's work is easy
enough, when the prescription is care-
fully written and contains no bewilder—
ing errors; but frequently a physician
of good reputation and sound ability
will provide a task for a drug clerk, the
proper fulfillment of which could not be
accomplished by a man. whom capacity
is limited to a disposition ,to faithfully
obey orders. The handwriting of physi-
cians, as a class, judging from the speci-
mens to be found in any druggist's book
of prescriptions. is very poor, and much
time is often wasted by drug clerks in
striving todeciphor Latin words illogi-
bly written. Too many physicians scrawl
their prescriptions with somuch haste
that they are liable to make errors which
might low to serious results if the apo-
thocary did not keep his with about him.

sented too young man at adrug store
not Very far fromOentral Park, a pro-
scription in which he required the use of
iodide of potassium. Withhis knowledge
of medicine, the apothocary in charge
saw at n glance that the iodide was 'out
of place, and that if housed it the in-
valid would be injured Requesting the
customer to' be seated, and politely as-
suring him at the same time that his
medicine would soon be reafi, the apo-
thecary sent to the physician’s house a
messenger. who returned in a few minu-
tes with the thanks of the doctor. and an
order to substitute bromide of potassium
for the iodide. -
Many physicians in these days, when
thousands of young men are turned out
annually from the various schools,
furnished with the diplomas of medi-
cal practitioners. aro ignorant of certain
facts in chemistry which every apothecary
knows byflroto. Prescriptions are con-
stantly' sent to the druggistb in which
the ingredients will not properly amalga-
mato without the addition of others of a
harmless nature. and upon the apotbc-
cary is imposed the selection of those.
Drug clerks sometimes make errors
themselves, but, in view of the facts. it
seems remarkable that such mistakes do
not occur Oftenor. They are subjocwd
to no little abuse in the newspapers and
elsewhere, but, as a matter of fact, the
public owes them a debt of gratitude as
the barrier between the invalid and the
unskilful or careless physician.

A very singular" story which forms one
of the sensational topics of the day is the
host authenticated of the many stories of
the supernatural that have been lately
fold. Only a short time ago a young
and well-known artist, Mr. A., was invi-
ted to'pay a visit to his distinguished
friend. Mr. Inzard. The house was
filled with guests, but a large and hand-
some room was placed at his disposal,
apparently one of the best in the house.
For three days he had a delightful visit;
ddghtful in all particulars save one—ho
had each night a horrible dream. '
Ho dreamed ho was—for was reflly—
suddenly awakened by some-person on-
tering his room, and in looking around,
saw the room brilliantly lighted, while at
the window stood a lady elegantly at-
out. no. .ooomplisbod, sho turnbd her
face toward the only spectator, showing
a countenancaaodistortcd by :ovil pas-
sions that he was thrilled with horror.
Soon the light and the figure with the
dreadful face disappeared, leaving the
artist aufioring from a frightful night-
mare. 3 ' . I
On returning to his city home he was
so haunted‘by"the fearful countenance
which had for. three consecutive nights
troubled him, that he made a sketch of
it, and so real that the evil expression
seemed to horrify every one who saw it.
Not a great while after the artist went
to make an evening visit on Ma'Izzard;
that gontlpmau" invited him to his
picture-gallery, as he wished to show
him some remarkable old family por-
traits. Whatwas Mr. A. ’s surprise to
recognizoafnoug them. in tho likb'noss of
a stately, well-dramod lady, the one‘who
had so troubled his slumbers on his pre-
vious visit, lacking, however. the revolt-
ing, wicked expression. Soon as he saw
‘itbo involuntarily exclaimed: _.
"Why. I have seen that lady I.
“Indeed!" said Mr. I, smiling, “that
is hardly possible, as she died more than
a hundred years ago. She was the
second.wifo of my great-grandfather, and.
reflected Anything but credit on the
family. She was strongly suspected of
having murdered her husband's son by
a former marriage, in order 'to make her
own child heir to the property. The un-
fortunate boy broke his neck in afall
from a window, and there was every
reason to believe that he was precipitated
from the window by his stepmother." .
The artist then told his host the cir-
cumstances of his thrice-repeated ox—
perienco, or dream, and sent for his
sketch, which, so far as the feature“.
were concemed'wss identical with the
portrait in Mr. Izzard's gallery. The
sketch has since been photograpod, but
from its hideous expression is far from
pleasant to look upon.

' The Turkish grocer, conspicuous by
his snow-white turban and his flowing
beard, sits crime-legged on the high-
raised floor of his shop, with a by no

of his trade close and ready to his hand.
Usually a female friend or purchaser is
also seated on the shop-board. but with

language of the eyes, and conversation,
of the one kind or the other, goes on for
amindefinito time between the grocer
and his vistor. When a veritable custo-
mer arrives the old Turk does not trouble
himself to remove the chibouquo from
his lips, but strotcheis out his hand to the
required canister or bottle. draws down
the scales from the roof, and supplies

One of the disadvantages or the shop-

earns small wages, she has to be always
well dressed. Being surrounded by
fluory, she often gets ‘a taste for it and
spends all her earnings On it. As soon
as she begins to fade she is no longer

ELECTRIC m III “I“! MING.
Avery interesting addition has recently
been made to the Zoological Gardens in
the shape of an cloctric col—womani-
electriau. It is add tobonoarly sixfoot
in length, and must therefore be one the
very largest specimens of its kind.
Those who remember tho'pdmy days of
the old Polytechnic may recollect a
diminutive electrical ool‘whioh used to
deal out very decided shocks to visitors

which he was rather cruelly coiled in a

'it will be anything but wise to venture on
any liberties with him. -

admits that it would be tomcrity to ex-
pose one's self to the fii-st shocks of a
large and strongly irritated gymnotus,
and though he does not mention life be-
ing lost by a shock from the fish, the
modo'of catching them adopted by the
Indians seems to render it by no means
incredible that as some have asserted,
this fish is capable of killing a man.
The Indians, it seems, are accustomed.
when they want to catch gymnoti, to’
scour the country round for wild
horses and mules, which they drive
into the ponds where the fish are known
to be, and so violent are the discharges
of the pontup lightnings to which those
animals are exposed that, though they
are not actually killed by electricity,
they are so stunned and disabled that
usually several of them are drowned.
Humboldt onw imprudently put both
him foot on an electric eeljust taken out
of the water; and, though he does not
speak of it as a large one, he says he
never experienced from a large Loyden
jar a morodroadful discharge 'than he

‘It seems to begonerally agreed that
the electric force of this fish is closely
dependenton its general vitality, and as
the new arrival is as yet only in a com-
paratively poor condition, perhaps no
great harm would result from bodily
contact with it.
SIXES AND SEVENS.
’ Many explanations have been attempted
of the expression, “sixes and sevens,”
but‘none of them are so good as to make
a new guess unnecessary. In tho first
place, it may be noted that the present
form is a corruption ’of “at six and
seven. ’ So it appears in the " Townoley
Mysteries," in. Taylor, the’ water poet's
works and in Shakespeare. Wb read in
“Richard II (act 2, scene 2, I], 121-122):
" All is uneven,
And everything is left at six and seven.”
Ono earlier explanation of a still earlier
form "set on seven" is that God ap-
pointed everything in seven days, and
that the expression was originally used
to indicate-order, but afterde came the
exp ' disorder. This is not very satis-
factory. Nares explained “sixes and
sevens” by a reference-to the game of
backgammon. but no pxplauation that I

courscthis is a more conjecture, andno
explanation can be considered so
thoroughly until historical evidence cor-
roborates conjecture, but I think it is o
suggestion that is well worth of considera-
tion. ‘
ORIGIN OF THE WALKING-STICK
The modern walkingstick is of ancient
and respectable origin. Its duoont is
directly traceable from. tho shepherd's
crook, the palmor’s stud, the traveler’s
stick, the wand of office. the scepter of
monarchy and the sword. It is a modi-
fication and a union of all these, since it
serves the purpose of each. It is now,
as in the time when parables were writ-
ten, a stafi’ to thoagod, a weapouofof-
tense and defense, a' mark of authority.
and certainly, when in cost in individual
instances is considered, a mark of the
greatness of wealth.
The walking-stick, identical in all
points with the present cane, made its
‘ appearance some 400 years ago, in the
court of the king of France. In a very
short‘ time the slander polished stick,
with a jeweled knob, becaino part of the
possession of every gentleman of quality.
And so for centuries it has continued an
object of greater importance. according
to the prevailing fashion. Literature
and tho painter’s art have not failed to
mention the care. History give a in-
stances of its association with the habit
of great porsonages. It was at one time
”the privilege of tho noble-born alone to
twirl‘and swing the walkmg' stick.
Throug' ' h didaront periods canes are of
different fmhlon. They are'rich or
plain, slender and graceful, or thick,
twisted. knotted and clubbed, long or'

suggestions toroaidonh at the seashore
inregard totheproporconrlotobopur-
sued in cases of danger by drowning,
andmthofintphcatoofi'orafcw
words of advice to- those who may be
callodon toswim-tothoaidof persons
struggling in the water. :It is most import-
ant thst the drowning person be assured
in acheery voice that heissafo, andurgod
to cease struggling, for the more he
struggles the more water he swallows.
and the more dangerous itis to attempt a
man struggling in the water. for he will
blindly grasp his would-be rescuer and
drag him down;but when bchaabo-
come quiet, the swimmer should catch
himbythohanofhmdturnhim
quickly on his bmk. giving him a sud-
den pull, which will cause him tofioIl’.
and then start for the shore. Those who
have tried this plan say that it isvory
my of execution, and instances are on
record where one man. has swam ashore
with four persona whose hair be grasped
and whmn he then throwou their. backs.
In case of a strong out setting tide tho
rescuer should, hoviovo‘nithrow himself
on his back and float until ii‘llilp arrives.
for he will soon exhaustrzbimself by hot-
tling against thoourrsntand it may be
said in passing that a iono‘swimmer
when caught by the undertow will do
farbo’ttor tOfioat than tbwear himself
out ‘in uninterrupted struggling for the
shore..- When a body hassunk to the
bottom, and bubbles indicate that life is
not extinct, a person may dive in the
direction indicated by the bubbles. but
he should seize the hair with one hand
only, using the other in conjunction with
the foetin raising both'himsolf and the
drowning person to the surface. When
the rescued person has been landed, the
first thing in order is to arouse him by
wiping his body dry Ind by slapping
smartly the stomach cud chest. The
jaws should be separated if they no
clenched, and kept apart with a cork or a
small piece of wood; the person should
betas-nod on his face, and the stomach
kneaded as long as the water flows from
the mouth. Then the throat should be
wiped with a rolled handkerchief, and
the patient turned on his back with the
pit of the stomach elevated above the
rest of the body. The waist should then
be squeezed with gram pressure, as if to
force the contents of the chest _ into the
mouth, and suddenly let go. This pro-
case which is an imitation of natural
breathing, should be repeated at momen-
tary intervals, but with regularity. until
the person’s breath is restored; but if
satisfactory results do not follow after
three or four minutes, the patient should
be again turned on his stomach (but in
the opposite direction from before) for
the purpose of expelling any water re-
maining in the air Then the
artificial respiration should resumed
and continued until the patient revives
or until death is beyond doubt. The
process of drying and rubbing should be
all the while continued, soon after the
breath returns. These simple rules are
old. but every one who reads them may
this very summer have. cause to put
them in practice. . a;
nunmsra IN 01min.
In the first place it is very remarkable
that the Chinese originally lived under
a feudal system. The country consisted
of several States (seven in number). over
each of which there was a local lord,
under whom there were lessor, chiefs
holding lands by sub-infeudation. The
States were federated under one lord as
emperor, who had some territory in his
own directadministration. Several dyn-
asties of emperors really represented the
headship of a feudal confederation.
Under thisfoudalism there arose many
of the ancient heroes, statesmen and
sages of China. while many of its charac.
teristic marks were stamped upon the
civilization, the institutions and the
habits of the Chinese. This system was
been very properly styled the Chinese
Owen, and who established a real empire
to last for centuries.
At times this empire became Jisnuitsd,
to be again united; but feudalism was
superseded .by the appointment of pro-
vincial governor and district magistrates.
From time to time censors were doputod
by the central authority for poripatotic
supertision. For tho central authority
itself something like a constitution was
established, in which the leading feature
was a council of state, and several de-
partment boards. The civil legislation
was voluminous; the penal code was
comprehensive in scope. and lucid in ur-
rangement; the moral precepts were
definite, and the religious ritual minute.
There were codes for all branches of
human conduct and relationship. The
Official deference paid to literature has
hardly been oqaallod in any other age or
country; the lettered classes in thousan-
pacity as literati formed a power which
could make revolutions. and which em-
perors on their accession were obliged
to oonciliate. The phonon of letters
and the preparations of chronicles ranked
high among public duties. .Akind of
rude printing with wooden-“typos was
invented at an early time ; public libra-
ries on an immense scale were main-
tained; tribnnpl of history, and an on-
cial gasettc was instituted. Extraordi-
nary attontion was paid topopular edu-
cation; tho central college were among
the most influential institutions of the
land. -

crease of Kidney diseases among the- American
people within a few year past. Many causes pe-
culiar to certain classes tend to produce and ag-
gravate these troubles—as, for examp;e, careless
viug, overwork, and exposure. Dr. avid Ken-
nedy, of Random, N. Y., is often congratulated on
the exce tlonai success of his medicine called FA-
VORIT REMEDY in arresting and radically cur-
ing these most ainful and dangerous disorders.
Proofs of this, I kc the following, are constantly
brought. to his attention and are published by him
for the sake of thousands of other sufi'erers whom.
he desires to reach and benefit. The letter, there-
fore, may be of vital lm rtance to you or to some
one whom you know. t is from one of the best
known and popular drugglsts ila’the fine and grow-

DEAR SIR: For ten years I had been afiiicted
with Kidney disease in its most acute form. What
I suffered must be Left to the imagination—for no
one can appreciate it except who have gone
through it. I resorted to many physicians and to
many different kinds of treatment, and spent a
great deal of mono , only to find myself older and
worse than ever. may say that I used 25 bottles
of a preparation widely advertised as a specific for
this precise sort of troubles, and found it entirely
useless—at least in my case. .
Your FAVORITE REMEDY—I say it with a per-
fect recollectlipn of all that was done for me be-
sides is the tithing that did me the slightest good;
and I am happy to admit that it gave me permanent
relief. I have recommended FAVORITE REM-
EDY to many peo le for Kidney disease and the
all agree with me n saying that DR. DAVID KF. -
NEDY’S FAVORITE REMEDY has not its equal in
the wide world for this distressing and often fatal
of others. Yours, eta, LYMAN CRAWFORD.
