to Persons Who Smoke.

In a proclamation addressed "t to the
smoking public" by which we do not
understand that it is meant to be init
mated that the public is just now in a
smoking condition, but merely to con-
n6e the address TO those persons who use
cigars, an association of cigar manufac-
turers have made it pretty plain that a
good many of the cigars which are sold
in the shops are chemically favored
counterfieits, good many Others are un-
wholesome, and good many positively
nasty. AS the buyer and smoker of
cigars is left in pleasing uncertainty as
to what cigars are properly to be avoid
ed as counterfeit, which are unwhole-
some and which are nasty, the present
appears to be a particularly good time
for general swearing off. Wise smokers
will abandon the use of cigars and adopt
the pipe instead, as the Scotchman re-
fused to drink wine, preferring whisky
the more, he said, because there is moth
ing against it in Scripture. Perhaps
still wiser smokers will abandon the habit
altogether, as one which is in itself un.
cleanly and unwholesome.-New Y0rl
