Rows and Cigarettes.

Physicians and moralists alike are
panied by the spectacle, growing more
common every day, of pale-faced lads,
ranging in age from sixteen to twenty
years, who are putting their little lives
away in cigarette smoking. Day and
night they throng the streets, where
the peculiarly offensive odor generated
by cigarettes made Of cheap paper and
bad tobacco renders their smoking as
obnoxious to others as it is hurtful to
themselves. Every evening before the
door of the theatres they raise cloud
of foul smoke that is equally injurious
to their own rickety constitutions and
to the noses of their victims. Doubt
less, also, they carry their pernicious
habit into their homes-when they are
old enough to do so without risk Of the
spanking that they deserve.
The cheap cigarette is a modern in
vention and a peculiarly vicious one.
Twenty years ago when the cigarettes
all came from Cuba, and were wrap
ptd IN rlce-paper, smoking them did no
great harm. Moreover, being made of
Honradex, or some brand of equally
strong tobacco, only boy of stout
stomach could smoke more than two or
three Of them at time. But to meet
the boyish demand cigarettes are sold
nowadays both cheap and weak. They
are made Of mild, often bad tobacco;
and for the most part they are wrapped
IN ordinary white paper. Rice-paper
wrappings necessarily increase the cost
and the boy who wishes to prove by the
ordeal of smoke that he is not boy
but man, much prefers the article
that he can get the most of for his
money. Moreover, the boy does not
know the difference apparent to the
sight between rice-paper and ordinary
paper, any more than he knows
that while rice-paper burns away with
scarcely any smoke at all, common pa
per burns with foul smoke that cuts
like saw into the chest and throat.
So he spends his pocketmoney ON
cheap cigarettes and makes everybody
around him uncomfortable while he
smokes himself away into an untimely
grave.
Of course the boys do not mean to sin
against themselves and their neighbors.
They do not realize what bad smell
their nasty little cigarettes make; and
they are very far from knowing what
serious injury the smoke from them in
hicts upon their throats and bronchial
tubes and lungs. They smoke in inno-
cency, knowing not what they do, but
most earnestly believing that their
smoking makes men of them. Down
in the depth of their hearts the most
Of them have no sincere affection for
smoking; and in the depths of their
stomachs they not unfrequently en-
tertain a feeling of positive aversion
toward it. But they hang on to
their pestilent habit with persistency
that in a better cause would be
worthy of all praise; sitting the die
tates of conscience and asserting a bad
mastery over the rebellions of the flesh.
And if reasoned with they answer in
the words of dear John Leech's bad
boy:> "But what is a fellow to do,
when all the men of his own age
smoke 2H
