Talmage ON Tobacco.

"One reason why there are so many
victims Of the tobacco habit" said DR..
Talmage in his Sunday diatribe, "is be-
cause so many ministers of religion
smoke and chew They smoke until
they have bronchitis, and then the dear
people must send them to Europe"
The American clergymen who are in
dulging in this habit should repent.
How can man preach repentance when
he INDUCES such habit? II shall not
be extensively personal on the subject,
for you nearly all use it. You say that
God made it and it is good. Yes, it is
good to kill moths, to kill ticks on sheep,
to strangle all kinds of vermin, to fumi-
gate pestiferous places. You say God
created it for some particular use. Yes,
so he did, henbane and nux vomica and
copperas and belladonna, and all these
poisons. You say men live to be old
who use it. Yes, in the sense that the
man lasted well who was picked.
Smokers turned into smoked livers."
In conclusion DR.. Talmage told the
stery of a man who saved 500, 102 03 in
twenty-nine years by reforming from
smoking cigars at six and a quarter
cents each. He urged his hearers to
deny themselves for the sake of setting
a good example.

A Sneezing Scene.

d Probably. one. of the mesnest stage
tricks that was ever played was played
on Mary Anderson. 1t will be remem.
bered that in the play of "Ingoma"
Psrthenia and the barbarian have sew
eral love scenes, where they lop on each
other and hug some--that is, not too
much hugging, butjust hugging enough.
