tections. 1t may be said. in reply, that
the Turks, Greeks, and lIungaGians are
inveterate smokers, and yet are little af,
fected by nervous diseases. But N.
jolly accounts for their exemption by
the fact that the tobacco used by them
is Of a much mildrr form, containing
slight proportions of nicotine, and some.
times none at all. Excessive indulgence,
therefore, does no harm in this direction :
and no case Of general or progressive
paralysis has been discovered in the

intoxicate themselves with nicotine or

their time in torpor, Incidence aud sen

been said, is the poi,ion Of the Intellect

is the nicotine in the stronger tob1cco,

CFrom the St. Louis Home Journal.1
1t was beautiful evening in the au
tumn of 1912, that the good steamer
Majestic lay at the wharf of St. Louis
kissing and groaning under her load Of
steam. like restless steed champine
his bits, eager to be coursiDg away on
his wild career.
The alarm-bell rings and the stage is
drawn in, ready for the signal to back
out. The signal is given, the engines
creak Ind groan, the huge wheels re-
volve, and she moves slowly but grace
fully otlt into the stream. A cannon
booms over the water, and the Majestic
moves swiftly down the dark-aowing
Mississippi.
The domes and spires of the city fade
away in the distance the sun sinks
down in the crimson West the twilight
deepsns into the gloom Of night, and the
long line of beetling cliffs loom up, dark
and frowning, against the star-lig ght sky.
The chandeliers We're lighted up and
shed brilliant light through the long
saloon of the steamer. Here were re.
presented the several nationalities the
dark Spaniard, the vivacious French
man, the sturdy John Bull, the gay and
careless son Of the Emerald Isle, and the
live Yankee. Here, too, is type of
most all characters; the merchant, the
specnlator, the invalid, the tourist, the
man of leisure and the gambler, with
his glossy hat and splendid wliskers.
1t was, indeed, motley crowd. Here
'sya knot discussing politics here paI-
ty at the card-table; here the tourist,
with notebook in hand taking in some
ontlandlsh yarn, and the gambler, with
his keen, restless eyes, observing all,
watching for his prey.
Among the passengers on the boat
are TWO whom we will introduce, Paul
Langdon and Richard Middleton by
name /; they are planters, who had been
spending the summer months North, and
were returning to their Southern homes.
