SMOKING.

In New York some OF the news.
papers are ssssulting smokers, and
Waging a lively war against the prse-
tics of smoking in public places.
They are trying to shame men into a
discontinusncs of the habit, the same
as the Salt Lake papers, g year or
two ago, undertook to put Stop to
smoking in the postofice. II the
New York press shall be no more
successful in its undertaking than the
local papers were, little reform will
be brought about, for at times now it
is impossible to see across the post
Office room, the tobacco smoke being
thick ensugh to "cut into blocks"
To those who do not smoke the odor
from burning tobacco and oIhsr
weeds and unknown subs.a aces of
which cigars are composed is severely
offensive, even sickening; hence one
of the most Impolite, not to ssy vul-
gar acts of which q person can be
guilty is to smoke in the presence of
non smokers. o. course, this being
q free country, where everybody is
bis swn master, man has toe right
to smoke. His mouth sni his ness
are his own, and he can do a, he
pleases with them; but that right,
like good many others, ought to
be restricted when it interferss
with the rights OF oIhers. II
q man can be protected
against the nuisance OF a pig stys
being placed where the foul odorS
will annoy him, why also has be not
the right to haEe his nose protected
sgsinst the nuissncs OF tobacco
smoke? The number of tobacco
smokers is large in this as in every
other community, and may perhaps
be growing, but .there are many who
do not smoke, and these latter have
rights which the former should re-
spect, although the average smoker
seems to think otherwise. The post.
Office is not the emily place where no
regard is paid to the oliactories OF
non-snokers. Pretty nearly every
place where men are in the habit of
meeting the air is redolent of to-
bacco. "No Smoking" is conspicu-
ously displayed on the street cars, yet
not few smokers who are gentlemen
enough to obey the rule technically,
give more ofeDse than if they openly
violated it. They are too stingy to
throw away the half burnt cigars, but
extlDguish the fire and carry them
into the Car to fill the atmosphere
with the sickening o6ors from
chsrred tobacco. cabbage-leaves, salt
petre, grass and other things hidden
inside of cigars. Offices are filed |
with tobacco smoke. and even private
parlors are not exempt, Tor If the |
smoker is polite enough to throw
away his cigar before entering, be
carries with him more or less of the
aroma. At the theatre the smell of
tobacco, the odor frequently being
unimpIoved by the human breath
that exhsles it, is encountered. Be
tween the acts men rush out to ob-
tain a few Whifis from q cigar, and
return with sickening suggestions OF
tobacco about their clothes to annoy
those who are unfortunate enough to
have seats in tneir vicinity. 1t is not
expected that people viii stop smok.
ing, and some will take no pains to
hide the nuisance, but gentlemen
should hsys little regard for that
portion of the public who do not
smoke and to whom the odor OF
tobacco is offensive and nauseasing.

CORSET CHOKING.

Choking Is keeping the air ont of the
lungs at least. that is a practical dcfini-
ton of the word. il makes no difference
to the lungs and no difference to the blood
whether liie-giving oxygen is kept out by
confining the respiratory apparatus at its
lower or its upper part. The result is
precisely the same in either ease. \ man
who ties rope around his neck and kills
himself by choking. is called "a suicide A
young lady who does essentially the same
thing by decorating her waist. only taking
longer time for it, is considered extreme
" fashionable. Pure air is the first and
last desidcratum of human life. Independ-
cnt life begins with the first breath. and
ends with last breath of respiration. A
human being lives in proportion as he
breathes. Frogs and lizards are sluggish
because they breathe little. Birds are
more vigorous in their movements because
of the wondrous capacity and activity Of
their lungs. SO with human beings. Need
we suggest that those feeble minded
creatures who emulate each other in com
preston Of the waist-thus curtailinc the
breathing power-are like frogs and liz
ards in their capacity for appreciating the
'.ioy of living ?'' or that their organs of
cerebration NAV be as dminuitive as their
/ waists q?
The evils of corset wearing have al.
ready been dwelt upon quite fully and
we will not recapitulatc here: but we
wish TO call special attention to three
ways in which the use OF corsets, whether
worn extremely tight or not. acts iniur-
iously upon the lungs and respiration.
/. BY compression. the muscles of res
piration lose their power to act, and waste
away, so that strong, deep respirations
become impossible This is the reason
why ladies feel. when deprived of their
corsets as though they would ''fall all in
pieces
2. By confinement in a stiff, unyielding
case. the elastic cartilages which unite
the ends of the ribs to the breast bone so
as to give freedom Of action. become rigid
and thus prevent full expansion of the
chest and lining of the lungs
3. By compression OF the lower part of
the lung. the upper part is crowded up
against the inner border of the first rib,
against which it is continually pressed, so
that the constant motion and friction fin
ally excite irritation which undoubtedly
becomes the starting point Of many cases
Of consumption.

MAY-DAY.
HOW IT WAS CELEBRATED LAST FRIDAY
By THE (wH1rE) PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
LITTLE MISS FLORA LEVIN
CHOSEN AS QUEEN. LOTS
OF FUN FOR THE
LITTLE ONES. y

Friday last, the day set apart for
the Picnic for the school children of
this place, was all that could be
wished for. The weather was 10 all
respects delightful. We have no
doubt that the little ones had looked
forward to it, as an occasion of much
pleasure, as it was designed to be a
children's frolic throughout.
We would here call attention to
the fact that much credit is due to
Mr.. Pardee, the Superintendent, for
the manner in which the whole at
fair was conducted, and specially for
the very entertaining programme
which contributed in no small degree
to amuse the Older ones present, no
less than the children for whom it
was designed.
Being unavoidably detained by
bushes in our Office, neither ourselt
or staff reached the ground before IL
o'clock, thereby missing the pleas
ure of seeing the Queen crowned.
This ceremony was performed in the
stand with becoming grace and in
appropriate style. The royal party
were made up as follows:
Queen-Miss Flora Levin. She
was crowned by Master John W.
Compton.
LIST Maid of Honor, Miss Louise
Albert, waited on by Master Clar.
ence Sprigg.
End Maid of Honor, Miss Susie
Hetherwick, waited on by Master
James Helm.
3rd Maid of Honor, Miss Nettie
Paul, waited on by Master Octo
Watts.
4th Maid of Honor, Miss Florence
Phillips, waited on by Master Henry
Hetherwick.
1t had been intended to iuaugu-
rate the days sports with an address,
but owing to some engagement
of the orator, those present were
compelled to forego The anticipated
pleasure of hearing him.
After the browning ceremonies the
young children engaged in playing
croquet, dancing, singing, and other
amusements, which lasted until a
late hour of the day.
Refreshments in abundance were
furnished on the ground by Warren
Dammon aud Charles Goldenberg.
Prof. W. Ambler's String Band fur
nished the music on this occasion.
We but express the sentiment OF
all who participated, that the occa
sion was one of which they can only
have pleasant remembrances, and
trust that we may have more such in
the future.

THE CANTATA.

We take peculiar pleasure in d.
recting the attention of our readers
to the brilliant and varied programme
prepared for the entertainment to be
Leld at Exchange Hall, on the eve
ming ofthe 18th inst, under the man.
agement of the Ladies' of St. James
Church.
Alexandria, it is we'll known, can
present an array of musical and dra.
IN attic talent rarely found outside the
professional classes.
The proceeds to be derived by this
performance will be devoted exclu
sively to the interests and supp ,rs of
st. James Church.
The musical selections embraced
in the entertainment have been cho
sen with rare taste by the ladies who
have arranged the programme, many
of which are emanations from the
most gifted masters. Our music
loving element will not fail to appre.
ciate and enjoy the many attractive
features of the programme, while
the execution of the musical parts is
confided to some of our home anna.
tours of rare and recognized accom-.
plishment.
The second part of the entertain
ment, the songs of the months and
seasons, will be especially beautiful,
the representations by tablcaux be.
ing illuminated by magnesium and
red lights that will lend hue of en-
chantment and softness to the scene
that cannot but greatly enhance the
beauty and novelty of the entertain
ment. This new feature of illumi.
mated tableaux has not been intro.
duced heretofore in the public enter.
tainments that have been held in our
Town, and while We can assure the
public, in advance, that the tableaux
will embrace bevy of breathing
beauties, whose loveliness will not
need the Aattering aid of chemical
tints, the effect of illuminating the
scene will certainly add o charm to
the tableaux.
The seating capacity of the Hail
will be increased by the addition of
chairs and benches nearer the en-.
trance door, and every preparation
and effort is being made by the mau-
ayers to make the affair charming
aud complete success.
We, therefore, IN view of the wor
thy objects which this entertainment,
will suhserve and the delightful
pleasure the occasion will afford
those who attend, bespeak for the
Canlata a crowded house.
