Effects of Tobacco on Man and Animals.

DIR. Lebon, of Paris, has given q
great deal of attention to the question
of the effects of tobacco upon man
and animals. and has lately presented
report on the subject to the Medico-
Chirurgical Society of Liege. Among
the conclusions which the author has
reached in the course of his researches,
the following may be mentioned as most
important:
l. Smokers, and persons who with
out smoking are enveloped in an at
mosphere of tobacco-smoke, absorb
for each quantity of ten grammes of
tobacco proportion of nicotine vary
ing from some centlgrammes to Il
gramme. They absorb also about an
equal amount of ammonia
g. The quantity of tobacco consum
ed daily by a single individual addict
ed to it's use is scarcely less than TWEEN
ty grammes A smoker is therefore,
liable to absorb daily a quantity of
nicotine which may reach twenty five
centigrammes with an equal proportion
of ammonia.
3. OF all kinds of smoking the
most dangerous is that of smoking a
cigar or cigarette and swallowing the
smoke the least dangerous is that of
smoking nargile, or pipe with long
tube, in the open air. =
4. The effect produced by the re-
suit of the condensation of tobacco
smoke is analogous to that of nicotine.
Nevertheless there must be added the
effects produced by the ammonis, which
the smoke contains in considerable
quantity.
5 The resinous semi Liquid which
condenses in the interior OF the pipe
contains considerable proportion of
nicotine itself, and rapidly destroys
the life of animals exposed to its ac-
ton
6. The liquid product which CON
denses in the lungs and mouth of the
smoker contains water, ammonia nico-
tine, fatty and resinous bodies, and
coloring matters A dose of one drop
of this speedily produces paralysis of
motion i'll small animals, and state
of apparent death The effects quick
ly disappear, but death actually super
venes if the dose is carried up to sew
eral drops. If instead of administer.

made to breathe it for some time, it
dies all the same In this last case
the effect seems due Ill a great measure
to the presence of ammonia.
7. In dose CT single drop dan
gerOus results are produced upon large
animals, but those of small size are
killed instantaneously. Among the eff
fects observed the most constant are
rillar--tremblings, a general conges-
ton of the superficial vessels, stupor,
and especially the tetaniform contrac-
ton of the muscles of the abdomen.
8. Nicotine is one of the poisops,
the effect of which is most speedily
dissipated, and the habituation to
which is soonest accomplished.
10. Among the effects of tobacco
smoke upon man may be mentioned,
in small doses, excitation of the intel
lectual faculties for the moment ; in
repeated doses it produces palpitations,
troubles of vision, and more especially
a decrease of the memory, and parti-
cularly the memory of words.

Little Montenegro.

Montenegro, nominal Turkish prov
lnce, has refused TO pay its annual GUS
tomary tribute to the Sultan. and con
sequently there Is quite little buzz of
excitement at Constantinople. As the
money to pay this tribute comes from
Russia, the act Of withholding it is
suggestive that the Car has something
to do with the refusal The Sultan in
dignantiy declares that he will make
forcible collection of the money due,
and there is a strong probability that
such movement may be made If nc
compromise Is effected. 1t viii be re-
membered that nineteen years ago a
similar trouble arose and a Turkish
army invaded Montenegro, only to be
driven back and defeated. The area
of the country is little more than 400
square miles, and the population is not
more than 100000 Montenegro has
for many years been under the protec-
ton of Russia, and ii the Gar with
holds he money it is hardly probable
that he will allow it to be forced from
the people. There is method in the
proceeding, which any one who has
watched tie policy of Russia toward
Turkey for the few past years can
readily discern.

Wearing Flannel,

The majority Of people are not aware OF
the beneficial effect of wearing flannel next

weather Flannel is not 50 uncomfortable

believe. Frequent colds and constant
hacking coughs have left me, since adopt

great bulk around the waist, which con-
dennis the wearing of flannel with those
who prefer wasp-waists to health, for in
that case the flannel can be cut as loosely

4 NpwSDanpr Hoax.

A curious hoax lately played by the
Paris Figaro is illustrative of the NOR
al laxity OF the French press, since the
lie has proved a tremendous card for
that journal. 1t recently reported in
tnll detail a remarkable trial at the
Assize Court at Bastia, Corscia, in which
Lucia Medelli, a beautiful young wife,
was charged with the murder of her
husband for repeated infdelities- The
octe d'0ccusotio,, plea, evidence, ar
guments, charge and all were given at
length, and a unanimous verdict of
mot guilty" reported. The progress
of the case created intense excitement
at Paris. The principle involved

cap all, another paper gave new view

This was ''too much, and the next day

How the long wind swept aud sighed;

The end drew nearer, nearer.

We could not surely hear her;
But We heard how the sad sea broke,
How the weird wind swept and sighed,

From mothers breaking heart,

Assassination Extraordinary,

A strange occurrence (says Galignani)
has just taken place at Antwerp. As
the chaplain of the prison, NJ Van
Arsen, was leaving the Church of ST.
Carlo Borromeo, man came ND and
asked him if he would buy poignard,
which he held out. The priest, greatly
surprised, replied that he could not
find any use for the weapon. On Which
the other said, "Then I will give it to
you for nothing and, III the calmest
manner imaginable, and without any

to the clergyman's breast. He next
drew out the implement and took to
flight into the church. But on the
wounded man uttered loud cry, some
passers-by pursued the fugitive and
took him into custody. He turned out
to BE man of dissolute character,

assign any motive for this extraordina-
