But his taste in tobacco is (says P.T.0.) not that of connoisseur. He is fond of telling a good story against himself in this connection. At one 'time be was in the habit of smoking expensive cigars, which, as they were left lying about in his room, wore abstracted by all who had access to it. One day the inventor was amazed to find that the whole of a consignment of cigars, which had only arrived the previous week, had mysteriously disappeared. He thereupon asked a friend to send him from a distant city six cigar boxes, the contents of which were to be composed of brown paper, rags, and horsehair. Some time elapsed, and his friend paid a visit to the laboratory. One of the firstquestions he put to the inventor was, “ Well, how did the cigar business work ?” Edison had evidently forgotten tbs incident. “ What cigar business ?”’ he queried. “ Why, the cigars I had made for you out of the rags and brown paper and horsehair.” “ What sort of boxes wore they put up in ?" demanded Edison, as a light began to dawn upon him. “ These look like the boxes,” responded the friend, indicating a row on an adjacent shelf. “Great Cfesar!" exclaimed the inventor, “ I h&ve been smoking the cigars in those boxes myself.”
