following:

The Moat Comfortable Hallway Trav
eling In the World.
"Two engines are required on heavy
grades, and special twvuty wheel loco
motives are used on the hillyections,"
writes William Greener concerning the
Transslberiau railway In his book, "A
Secret Agent In Port Arthur." "Hot
water Is kept night and day at most
stations, and the trains suffer severely
from the inclement weather. The dou
ble windows are permanently frosted,
often the vestibule doors become fast,
great patches of frozen snow adhere to
the roofs, the sides and panels are hid
den under a thick white hoar and long
streaming icicles hang from the roof to
the bogy truck where the water from
the tank for the heating apparatus In
each carriage has splashed over during
the day's run. At every large station
there is a special gang of attendants,
who attack the train vigorously on its
arrival. They use hammers and crow
bars, iron rods-heated red, long flam
ing torches, scalding water and even
light fires of shavings under the car
riages to free the brakes, and little by
little thaw out the working parts of
the frost bound train.
"I am still of the opinion that the
Transslberian state express trains af-
roru toe most comfortable railway
traveling in the world. The cars are
as luxurious, but not so sumptuous, as
the Pullman palace cars of America.
They are wider and give more accom
modation, and as the trains are run
solid through from Moscow to Irkutsk
meals are provided at every hour of
the day, and it is not necessary to
breakfast before 7 one morning and
after 9 the next, as sometimes happens
on the American through transcon
tinental routes.
"In the saloon the piano Is a welcome
addition, the exercising apparatus is
useful and the bath a convenience. The
observation car was not much fre
quented in winter, and the reason for
the existence of the photographer's
dark room, with its dishes and trays,
ha.5 departed, now that all photograph
ing along the rente Is strictly prohibited."

This Is done to effect a uniformity hi
the appearance of each box of cigars
and to onai'ie me dealer to readily in

smoker.
Inasmuch the wrapper constitutes
not more than one-tenth of the cigar it
will readily he seen that the degree' of
its strength or mildness Is very incon
siderable iu effect. In this connection
however, it is interesting to note that
tobacco tradesmen versed In the intri
caeies of the Industry rigidly bar the
light colored wrapper from their own
smoking tables, knowing that It gener
ally Indicates uiat the leaf was prema
turely cut and improperly cured and
that it impairs the flavor and burn of
the cigar. Cubans, who, by the way,
are notably partial to mild tobacco.
avoid smoking light colored cigars just
as they avoid eating a green orange or
an unripe banana.
The prejudice of these natives and of
tobacco tradesmen Is a logical one and
serves to throw Into bold relief a pe
culiar misconception of facts Which Is
botli amusing and embarrassing to
venders of the fragrant weed.
Whether cigar smokers will ever
awaken to the fact that a dark cigar Is
if anything milder and invariably
sweeter and more aromatic than a
light cigar remains to be seen. Tobac

118,000 meals and let out 77,000 rooms
to 15.000 persons. The Grand hotel put
