June of Uio Secret* <of th? Or?*t Indus * try of C?UH' , . i, .ti ? , Havana fUroishes tho world with ci gars, and in no othqr place in tbo world aro there so many olgar^foctories. Much of tbo pleasant aroniutio flavor of tbo Havana cigar is duo to the fact that tbo fillors aro stripped and packed in ordinary flour or potato barrels and al lowed to remain for six mouths. Tbo lotifor tbo fillers aro stored the strong er tbo flavor bocomos. Tbo method of making cigars in othorcountries is very dofpotivo, as tbo oxquisite flavor is lost/1 by too much drying. Rainy weathers always intovforcs witb.the manufacture' of cigars, as tobacco easily absorb molsturo. Tbo floors must alway?- bo dry boforo they enq ^worked.' Poor tooacco is lmprovedtnHMlng artificial ly flavored with Catolai^irlne, which, undiluted, is ontlroly too- strong to drink. Tbo manufacturer no^er esti mates how many pounds of \tobacco will bo noodod for a thousand! Clgkrs, but estimates how many oigars Vvn bo mado from a balo. j! ' \ The wrapper is solcctcd \vilh g^-cat | care, with a view to giving beaut\ to the cigar. All tbo scraps aro oithov*j? | worked into tho body pt, othor clioap I oigars, or uxportod to foreign countries for cigarettes. Uigurs of an inferior I quality aro gonorally proiscd flat. In stead of cutting the wrapper loaf from bolow Upward, as is done in this coun try, in Havana it iS done- from above downward. Great caro is taken to out out the uppermost part of -tho loaf, wHtsh makes tbo finest wrapper. Tho p6rblop that js almost without voins is wrapped around tho heads. ' In'making a cigar, tho workman takes two or three piecos of loaf and places them 11 At iu his loft band; he thou takes as many smallor niooes as fntiy bo roqulred, rolls tbon^all togoth or in tho hand, and finally applies tho wrapper. His chief object is to covor the \ uins ,or place thom all on one Bide. By this tho skillful manipulator may bo recognized. An unpractised maker will make third-rato cigars but of iirst olass tobacco. Another tost of n good workman is tho amount of scraps ho "makes a day. A good oigar^mftker will .average only K one-half pound. Tho heads of tbo Havana oignr are not fast oucd with gum or any othbr stioky sub stanco, but simply by wboat broad. This is tasteless, and ovory woi'kman carries a woll-kneadoit portion with him. With very lino llavnnas Nothing is used to faston tho ouds, but |l\oy are securod by many skillful twistings that wind into each othor. ? ?

Uritish Jour nal of Photography speaks of loathor from & photographic standpoint of view in tho following manner: Generally spoakiug, leather is a por ishublo substanoe, especially when It is a question of presorvatiou for thousands of years. Suppo^iug it ta be carefully kept In a nonmil atiuosi/hero, It may bo expected to last a HXllo over 700 or 800 years. LoathoiyMlInjured by damp, by oxcessivo dryness, by sulphurous va pors froj?> tyir^ng coal gas and by salt>~ sometimes present Fu tho soil. I>\^t sometimes rresorvos aud some times destroys an. i . \ remains, accor ding to tho salts it holds in suspension. Leather sandals have sometimes bcea preserved forages deep in peat bogs. Tho grave-digger in '?Hamlet" states that corpso* will lie eight or nino years in tho gravo beforo they rot, aud that of a tanner lasts nino years, because his hido is so tannod with his trade. - Perhaps tho oldest specimens of leath er in tho world have been found In Egypt in tombs or mummy cases, in which they wore inclosed onco for all, bcvoiul tho reach of disturbance. Tho Eldest picco of Egyptian leather in tho 1 llvilUh museum is ti;e Bre inner (Uhoid) wicro/1 containing a portion of the ritual ol tuv doad. Its date is about 1800 15. C., and tho scroll is now perfectly pre served in a tin case; the leather is so powdery that its custodian* aro almost afraid to'touch it; tho color is about that of bfight and light t\ew oak solo leather, and porfectly clean. Thoro aro many leather sandals in tho muse um dating iHbout 1,8<X) 11. U.. generally rotton, torn , and distorted?some of them aro pretty tough, however. J lie | leather roll of Cheops, regarding tho. dedication of tho temple, may he of tho dato of about Si,000 11. . and is per haps t'ho oldest piece of leather in tho world. Tho British museum possesses an elaborato Egyptian leather sword belt of about 600 or tiOO 11. C.; It is groon and discolorcd; a casual observer might tako it for bronze. Such durability as loathor possossos is unlikoly to bo found in tho majority of golatino films, which mayboalittlo hardened during tho manipulations, but not much, oxcept when treated with alum. In no oaso is it likoly that a golatino film is properly tanned in tho ordinary manipulations, notwithstanding tho uso of alum. To avoid tho tedious process of ordinary tanning, skins hav<aTbcon sometimes treated with alum and salt, more ospoclally in Hungary, but an in ferior leather was tho result. All at tempts to shorten tho process of tan ning have failed: tho slow molecular changes must be allowed to go on for mouths, or an inferior leather is tho ro sult. Tho quality of tho loathor is in llucncod by tho vogotablo astringents usod in tho prooess; tome givosoft and spongy, others hard aud heavy loathor; slow tanning with oak bark gives about tho best rosult. Tho Art of Jugglery. "ThO art of juggloiy lias not advano cd much within tho last twonty-fivo yoars," painfully admlttod a' suporan uatcd wizard to a roportor.

Tho gamo is of fcrtually blocked. Hellor, with his Wondorlul memory, could do many strange trloks, and Houdin was consid ored wondorful by tho loarnod, and su pernatural by tho ignorant. All they both did is porfoctly plain now. Homo now mothod, in my opinion, assisted by soionoo and oleotrioity, will in a fow years be disobvorod to doludo and oront<fspooulatlon as the cabinet and many other trloks did for many yoars. The horse-play jugglery of tho presont doesn't amount to muoh.
