OTTAWA, III.
Uncle Lutte On the subject of SmOk-
ing.

The effect of smoking on the smoker and
those with whom he comes III contact depends
entirely on the individual. If a man is natural
" slovenly in his habits, and then takes up
using tobacco. he will appear more slovenly
now that he has qud or n stub from which to
expectorate over every place he happens to be
in, or To puff into every lady's face he meets
But gentleman may use tobacco and stu be a
gentleman. There are people to whom the
smell of cigar is very offensive. The feelings
of such people should be spected.
With regard to the habit of smoking leading
to other evils. do not believe it necessarily
does. There is no question but what has two
sides, in favor of which plausible arguments
can be presented. Ny motto Is to let every man
Judge for himself but III any event be gentle
men. ever considerate for the sensitiveness OF
others. Ny father was so radically opposed TO
smoking that if u person essayed TO hight
cigar in his place of business he would request
him TO wait until he got out OF doors. Yet his
afIectionate son is inducing the fragrant weed
while penning these words.
But whether a man smokes or not has
no especial bearing i'll relation to his real
character. Many of the best minds the world
has ever known have been, and are, smokers.
Thomas Hobb, the philosopher, did his think
ing and writing amid clouds of tobacco smoke.
Died at 81. Sir Isaac Newton, Campbell, Byron,
Walter Scott and Lord Palmerston were smok-
ers and Thomas Carlyle and the poet Tenny
son both smoke.
Young men and boys rarely should smoke
until they arrive at physical maturity. 1t is
deemed to dwarf their growth. l see the Gov
eminent of Germany has passed laws prohibit
ing boys under certain age from being seen
smoking in public, under the belief that the
condition of their sodiery is greatly injured by
smoking. People with stomach difficulties are
often benefited by smoking, while those trou-
bled with heart disease should let tobacco ell
tirely alone. The benefit authors believe they
receive from its use is the stimulating influence
it has on the brain. enabling them TO concen-
trate thought TO an intense degree and, no
doubt, through its aid many an "airy nothing
is given habi,ation and name"

We country urchins live in a state of delight
full obscurity. We are ten miles from the near

seat But we enjoy life and take things as they
come. II il should happen to rain and spoil
picnic or party. We appoint committee to reso-
lutte on the state of the weather, decide on new
day or time for meeting, and go home-phio-
sophically submitting to the inevitable ducking
with the firm belief that il will be very beneficial
to the crops in general. The harvest has b, en-
bountiful, farmers products are at premium.
and we are happy. We generally jublate about
the Fourth Of July, at the completion of har-
vest, and at the final gathering in of the
autumn. The second period of jubclies is now
predominant. and is not only productive of
mirthful entertainment but of q general diff
fusion of intellectual information. We have
fine array of good things to tempt the fastid-
ious appetite. besides 'thc feast of reason and

PreciOus.M Mining in tie United
States.

Whoever looks over the whole field of
American precious-metal mining will be
convinced that this industry is certain to
make very rapid growth in what is left
of this century. He will also come to the
conclusion that the production of silver is
destined to increase very rapidly for u
score or SO of years to come, provided the
demand for this much-slandered metal
does not fall too far short of the supply.
Beyond brief term this yield of silver
will surely diminish, especially if there is
any considerable lowering in its price.
The obsefvant eye can also see that the
production of gold is likely to be ex-
tended to many new fields, and that the
yield of this metal is, in the future.
likely to he rather more steady than that
of its bulllier sharer in the greed of men.
North America and the twin continent
ON the south are doubtless to he the
great producers of precious metals in
tl.e future; their store of silver must he
of greater value at the present price of
this metal than their store of gold. IL
the world continues TO use silver in the
coming century as it has in the past
thirty centuries, there is fair prospect
that our continent will win some thou
sands of millions from its silver-bearing
lodes. Even if we make what seems to
me the mistake of gold alone rs u
basis of exchange, the production of
this metal will no doubt give us larger
mining industry than any other country
can expect to gain.-AIantic Monthly.

A Gander Duel.

Might makes right among dumb Great
ures. Here is an illustration. A fight
between two geese took placein a vacant
lot on Summer street, says the Nashville
american. A flock of geese were en-
gagged in extracting from a large mud
hole such delicacies as are relished as
food by that festive bird, when strange
goose made his appearance and begun
quietly gr'lbbing, evidently deeming the
mud-hole common property.
For some time the appearance of this
stranger was not noticed, but at last one
of the geese looked up and beheld the
intruder, and walking to his companions
seemed to communicate the intelligence
to them.
A short consultation was held, and one
of the number approached the intruder,
and, as subsequent actions proved, ex-
tended a challenge for combat.

A Sensible View of Life.

How little we know of each other in this busy
world of ours. 1t is impossible to judge of the
inner nature of man from his outward actions.
How many happy unions have been broken off,
simply because of misunderstanding. 1t is COM
mon to think when person Is engaged he must
sever all intimacy with the opposite sex. While
human nature differs so much we can lay down
no set rule. Some hearts are naturally so loyal
nothing will tempt them to "tiirt." Other ma
lures are not so deep they are more affec-
tionate and loving. They mean no wrong and
do none if rightly considered. Many gentle
man. seeing his ''fair intended " in company
with one of the 50 Steiner" sex, asks no ques-
TONS but blindly concludes she as false. His
GOODNESS utterly freezes her and she thinks ne
is tired of her society. Sometimes a letter is
missed No inquiry is made. He jumps at the
conclusion, " Here is an end to my dream.
There is in every community class of persons
whose eyes and ears are always open for
'news." and on receiving il make quick work
to herald it abroad. Lovers usually being sem
sitive. take every word for 'gospe truth"
This is world Of mystery, and our whole life
is enshrouded in mystery. In q court of JUS
tice we are all considered innocent until proved
guilty. Henceforth, my " ung friends. let this
be our motto. Difficulties will arise, but. if we
keep cool and collected, in due time the clouds
of darkness will vanish, leaving the clear blue
sky with the bow of promise saying, trust If
we do this God only knows how much of human
misery will be saved. How many human hearts
echo these words, g II might hdUe been.'
