A New Peril for Smokers.

The poisonous effects of nicotine,
which the anti-tobacco party has based
most of its arguments against the weed
on, have found a powerful ally. A
well-known journalist of New York.
one of the most distinguished war cor
respondents of the country, was re-
Gently much alarmed to learn that lip
sore, from which he had been suffering
for some time, was diagnosed by his
physicians as symptom of a scrofu-
lous disorder of serious character. A
thorough examination failed, however,
to reveal the presence of any other evil
dence of the disease. and the doctor was,
for the time, at loss to discover its
origin.
The patient is an inveterate cigar
smoker, and this fact led his physician
to make some inquiries in regard to the
quality of the cigars that he smoked,
the manner and place of their manu-
facture and other particulars. His in
vestigations resulted in his forming the
opinion, in which his patient is dis
posed to concur, that the mysterious
sore and the disease, of which it is the
undoubted evidenc were due to the
smoking of cigars which had been made
by some person with a scrofulous taint,
who had communicated through the
cigars to the smoker.
This theory, alarming as it is, is fully
borne out by the testimony of the ply
sicians of Bellevue and other eminent
authorities, who are reported by the
New York correspondent of Western
paper to have recently declared that,
within their own experience, cases of
contagious disease have frequently been
traced to the same cause. These medical
gentlemen assert that disease is so COM
mon among the tenement-house cigar
makers, VINO use their mouths as well as
their hands in their labor, that it is not
safe for any to smoke Gig ars without the
use OF tube or holder, so as to avoid
contact with the possibly infected leaf.
In the present case the physician is of
opinion that the disorder thus strangely
incurred has gone already too far even
to be completely eradicated from the
system, and hence another illustration OF
the danger of indiscriminate cigar-mak-
ing and of unprotected cigar-smoking -

Feeding on Ones Self.

When the human body suffers from q
lack of food, it practically feeds upon
itself and absorbs its own substance as
food. Every one knows that certain
animals normally exhibit this process
Of feeding upon themselves under certain
conditions. The humps OF tue camel or
those of the Indian cattle visibly de-
crease and many disappear together, if
the animals are starved. a superhuous
store of fat, in other words. is made use
of under the exigency of hunger. So it
is also with the be.rS and other animals
which hibernate or sleep through the
winters cold. The bear, which in
autumn retires to winter quarters in a
well-favored condition. comes forth in
spring lean and meager. His fats have
been absorbed in his nutrition, and the
succeeding summer will lay the founda-
tioa of new stores of stable food to be
utilized during the next winter. With
man, we repeat, the phenomena of
starvation are essentially similar. In
the starving man the fats of the body
are the first substances to disappear
The fats lose weight to the extent OF
ninety three per cent. nextin order the
blood suffers; then the internal organs,
such rs liver and spleen, suffer; the
muscles, bones, and nervous system be.
ing the last to lose weight, In due time,
also, the heat of the body decreases to
such an extent thatultimately death in q
case Of starvation is really 8 case OF
death from loss OF heat. When the
temperature falls to about thirty degrees
Fahrenheit, death ensues This decrease
arises from want of bodily fuel or food;
but the immediate cause of the fatal
ending of such case is decrease OF tenn
peri ture. 1t is likewise curious fact
that the application of external warmth
il even more effectual in reviving AMI
mails dying of starvation than supply
of food. In exhausting diseases in man,
in which the phenomena are strikingly
like, and, indeed, thorougly analogous
to those of starvation. the same facts are
observed. &c Chambers J0NrBdl.

Tale of a Refractory Goat.

Maybe there is never any excitement
at the West End, but you can't make
the people who saw a colored gentle
man try to lead goat through that dis
trict the other day believe it. At first
the goat didn't want to go, and the
colored gentleman, who was about ten
feet ahead of the animal, pulled vigor-
ously on the rope. He had Just got his
whole strength on it when the goat
changed his mind and started forward
so suddenly that the colored gentleman
didn't have time to recover his balance
and went down, and as the goat ran
past him and kept running he was
dragged along, clawing wildly, until his
head collided with lamp-post. and
he brought the procession to halt. On
regaining his feet the colored gentleman
was very angry and ran for the goat to
kick him, and the goat took to fight,
and they flew at rapid pace down the
street. About five rods ahead the goat
observed citizen bending over to look
down an open coal hole, and on reach
ing him the goat eontrived to hit him
just under the hip pocket, and the citi-
zen disappeared aown the coal-hole
like shot just as the colored gentleman
stumbled over the goat, which had
come to ahalt. A number of people had
gathered about, and then the goat took
a notion to turn aud 60 the other way,
md he got the rope so entangled in peo-
pies feet that seven were upset and
much blasphemy resulted. The man
down the coal-hole then attempted to
climb out. and got his head and shoul-
ders above ground when the goat made
another rush at HIM and he had to
dodge down again. And then the goat
assaulted his owner, who went up a
lamp-post; and then the goat went
for another man, and as the owner
had tied the rope to his belt he
was yanked off that lamp-post quicker
than powder. Fortunately for him
his belt broke and he sprang to his feet
and took off towar Harvard college
yelling fire, and the goat suddenly
jumped into an open window, scared a
woman into fainting fit and upset a
table on which stood dish of hot
water He got most Of tt water upon
himself, and made more f. tntic by pain
jumped out ofthe window again, butted
bulldog and stove in three of the
canine's ribs, and then disappeared down
the street, amid cloud of dust just as q
policeman came around to shoot him
And the man down the coal-hole came
up with awful expressions on his face
and in his language and offered S75 tc
any one who would tell him whom to
sue for damages. Boston Post

Queen Vfctoria's Escape.

Queen Victoria narrowly escaped an
accident during her recent journey to
Balmoral. At station called Solihull,
not far from Birmip CHAM, signalman
was overtaken by violent hemorrhage,
which so weakened him as to incapaci-
tate him from attending to his duties.
The poor fellow, however, had presence
of mind enough to place his lamp on the
line with the danger color facing the
engine, the driver of which was thus
warned to reduce the speed of the train.
The signalman was afterward found
living exhausted near his post.

Smiling and Mourning.

Some 60 smiling through the gray time,
Under naked, song,e=s bawcrsi
Some go mourning all the May time,

Happy love, with cong and smiling,
Through the withered woodland goes;

FOR THE FAIR SEX.
ALost wires Return.

The wife of Antoine Weber, of Pitts
burg. Pa, eight years ago mysteriously
disappeared. Every effort to find her
failed, and she was given up for dead.
Since that time the husband has lived
alone. On recent Monday the deputy
mayor of Pittsburg was recognized by a
woman at the poor farm, who soon con-
WINGED him that she was the missing
wife of Weber, and begged to be taken
to her home and hus sband. The records
show that she was picked up in the
streets about eight years ago. She
could not then remember her name nor
where she lived. Her mind for a ]ong
time was under cloud, but she is n ow
entirely sane, has been taken home and
lives happily with her husband.

Horrible

The perfectly wretched condition of
the Car of Russia cannot he better de
scr;bed than by quoting the following
late dispatch: "The fears felt by the
car for his personal safety, and for the
security of his crown, are reported to be
more manifest from day to day. He dis
turbs his nearest attendants, and is con.
stantly ordering changes to be made in
the number of those who are about his
person. His vacillating and timorous
conduct reminds his friends of that of
Oliver Cromwell during the last days of
his power in England, when he suspect
ed even his tried attendants of purpose
to murder him, and saw the shadow of an
impending fatality in the most ordinary
event. Such is the state Of the emperor's
mind, and his unjust and unreasonable
persistence in assuming even members OF
his own household to be his enemies, IN.
tensif1es the unfortunate feuds already ex.
listing in the imperial family, and shuts
him completely out from the sympathy
and counsel Of his wife and son. It is
believed here that the crisis in the affairs
of the Russian government, before pre-
dicted in these dispatches, as close, ia
nearer than has been given out and til al
the emperor is face to face with the alter.
native of abdicating in favor Of the czaro.
witz as head of constitutional monarchy
or risking the results Of what is believed
will prove to be one OF the bloodiest and
most disastrous revolutions in history"
