THE GREAT TROUBLE WITH SMOKERS,
Cigar smoke expelled from the mouth co1
taips enough OF the nicotine to hurt the
eyes severely, but smoke July charged with
tue Solsnn direct from the bowl OF the pipe
or tip of the cigar is proportionately more
painful and Injurious. II the smoker can
keep the fumes OF the consuming weed from
his eyes, OF course smoking will not affect
his sight. The greatest trouble with smok-
ers is that there is most temptation to in
dulge In their favorite habit while reading
or writing. At such times their eyes are
most exposed. We know of a gentleman
who lost one eye, and came near losing both,
by the habit OF sitting upon high stool in
his counting room and bending forward and
reading newspaper spread out upon his
desk, while indulgtng himself with cigar
The frequent flow Of the smoke upon the
eyeball finally affected his sight, q black
spot-at first insignificant but gradually
growing more perceptible and annoying
appearing before his vision. Gradually a
flm formed over the pupil OF the eye, and
when too late to save 1t he discovered the
cause.

How the widow Caught Him

A gentleman OF an photographer turn
relates how he was instructed In the custom
OF taking toll, by a sprightly widow, during
moonlight sleigh ride with a merry party.
He says:
''The lovely widow L. sat in the same
sleigh, under the same buffalo robe, with
me.
"'Oh! oh! don't! don'tp she exclaimed, as
we came TO the first bridge, at the same time
catcnlng me by the arm, and turning her
yelled face toward me while her little eyes
twinkled through the moonlight.
don't what?" l asked, "I am not doing
anything"
.Well, but 1 thought you were going 10
take TOLL" replied the widow.
"Tolli" l rejoined; whats that"
"Wen, 7 declared" cried the widow, her
clear laugh ringing ont above the music OF
the bells; "you pretend you don't know what
TOLL is"
"Indeed don't, then" 1 said, Laughing;
"explain, II you please"
"Nou never beard, then," said the widow
most provokingly-"you never heard that
when We are on sleigh ride toe gentleman
always-that is sometimes-when TIA ey cross
bridge crll q kiss and claim II toll? But
never pay IT."
I said never heard OF IT before, but when
we came 10 the next bridge i claimed the
toll, and the widows struggles u hold the
veil were not enough 20 tear IL. At last the
veil was removed, her round rosy face was
turned directly towards mine, and in the clear
light OF frosty moon the toll was taken for
the first time in my experience. Soon we
cane 10 long bridge with several arches;
the widow said ii was no use TO resist a man
VINO would have his own way, SO she paid
the toll withOuta murmur.
"But you won't take toll at every arch,
viii your She said. so archly that could
not TAIL TO exact all dues; and that was the
beginning OF my courtship.-[ Providence Jour
