a0t ths Dollar,


He lectured on Tobacco and Its Per-
nicious Ellects!'' He told of the discov-
cry of tobacco.-how Sir Walter Raleigh
had water thrown on him by his servant,
who imagined his master was on fire
when he saw the smoke coming from his
mouth. All this and more he told in
graphic terms, He then went on:
: Tobacco in its ordinary state-the
plug-is a powerful poison. II will do
what few other poisons will do.
Now, ladies and gentlemen, let me
show you an experiment. ! will call
from this audience boy. We willtake
one who looks us though he never smok-
ed. ""John, come up here" he called
to a small boy, who lookedthe picture
of innocent health, as though the foul
weed had never touched his lips.
John, did you ever smokew
"No, sir" John replied, with smile
that was "childlike and bland"
"Now, John, you say yop have never
smoked I'll give you dollar if you
will take this piece Of tobacco as large
as pea, put it in yourmopth, and chew
it. Don't let one drop 90 down your
throat; spit every drop into the spittoon,
but keep chewing don't stop, but chew
steadily"
Now, gentlemen, befor1he is done
with that piece of tobacco as large as n
pea, simply squeezing the juice out of it
without swallowing one drop, he will
lie there in a cold, death-like perspira-
ton. You will put your fingers on his
wrist and find no pulse; and so he will
seem for two and three hours"
Innocent-looking John took seat in
a chair, and having the spittoon placed
near him, put the piece of tobacco in his
mouth and began to chew.
The audience by this time was very
much interested. They craned their
necks forward to get glimpse of the
boy lying there ''in cold and death
like perspiration' but they didn't. Not
much.
He sat there with calm and solemn
SMILE and chewed and spit, and spit and
chewed. The lecturer at length said:
"Ah, that was a mistake! I gave him
piece that was too mild; it should have
been stronger and he handed the boy
another pill.
The boy took it contentedly. In fact
he seemed to enjoy it is as much as
though it had been Strawberries and
cream or green apples. His jaws work
ed like q stone-breaker.
The lecturer was dumbfounded.
John" said he, care you sure you
never smokedP"
Eyes, sir; never smoked; but kin
chew more tobacco than you kin shake
stick at"
The lecturer concluded that it was
best to give his prodigal illustration the
dollar he promised and let him slide.

American Students at Gottingen.

II may be noticed what encourage
ment the freedom and elasticity of the
German university system give to for
eigners in search of higher education.
Great numbers of English and Scotch
graduates are to be found in the differ
ent universities Of Germany, continuing
their studies from the point at which
our own universities leave them. An
instance of a German graduate coming
to Oxford or Cambridge to complete his
education is scarcely, should think, on
record. But the most important and
constant foreign element in the Ger
man universities is the American. For
one American who comes to an English
university probably three hundred go to
Germany. In fact, the upperclass stud
ents in America hardly regard their
education as complete till they have
spent year or twVat German univer-
sity. At the larger universities, such as
Berlin and Leipsic, there are always
great numbers of Americans; but even
at the comparatively small university of
Gottngen there is u stable contingent
The American colony, as they call them
selves at Gottingen, have a regular or
ganization, A book is kept, in which
all newcomers are enrolled, and the
colony is presided over by the American
of longest standing, who is called 1.-The
Patriarch" 1t is his duty to look out
for new arrivals from the States; assist
them, if necessary, in finding lodgings,
and introduce them to the colony. Every
Saturday evening "kncipe" meets in
proper German student style, and hos
pitality is often extended, as have rea-
son gratefully to acknowledge, to Eng
lishmen and other foreigners. The books
of the colonist date from the early part
of this century, and contain, among
other illustrious names, that of Ralph
Waldo Emerson. -FraSer'S MdgGztne.

the ice, il is almost confined to the
frozen inlets of the south shore of the
Georgian Bay, to Burlington Bay, and
the Bay of Quinte. In Winter passen-
ger by the Great Western Railway will
notice on the ice near Oakville and on
burlington Bay a large numbered small
wooden houses, about four feet square,
and just high enough to allow of n man

no windows Under each of these
square boxes is hole through the ice.
This hole the fisherman sits and watches
with all the eagerness displayed by a
polar bear watching scal-hole. II Is a
cold operation, but sometimes potsus-
pended above the ice and containing a
fire affords little warmth. The fishing
through this hole is done either with
hooks or fork-like spears. On the Geor-

are not used, but the Indian. crouchine

times, however, small wigwam is

The Precept Of Cheek.

When the boldness and ingenuity OF

brass of the stock Spectator, the specu-
lator gets the worst of il. A New York
reporter, named Raymond, is said to
have achieved what is regarded as next
to an impossibility interview with
JAY Gould, In answer to one question
as to certain railroad project, Gould
protested absolute ignorance. "Well,
said Raymond, I'D tell you something
about il if / weren't afraid you'd give

Gould, with smile NO" said the
reporter, "but believe they are report

Eccentncities Of Fashion.

Simplicity in dress is the rule that
governs the devotees Of fashion this sea-
son, and the richer the material the
more simple the dress. TO the eye of
man-not to woman--the dress looks
inexpensive, and then he wonders why
his wife cannot dress in this way, and
not draw SO eXtrayagantly upon his
purse. One of the handsomest dresses
worn at an entertainment in Paris was
simple robe of white muslin, with q
blue sash, and the cost of the whole is
said to be six dollars, This is one of
the stories that some Partisan women
thought they would inquire into, and
proposed to themselves the problem
how women who set the fashion could
dress themselves so as TO be distinguish
ed from other women, and yet employ
only the commoneSt stuils. Fourteen
ladies competed, and the prize was
awarded unanimously to the wearer Of
this costume. A dress of securing CLOTH
lined with red, trimmed with lace, and
embroidered with wiId-nowcrs on gold
ground short sleeves, skirt trimmed with
Vaenciennes, paraSol, shoes and gloves
to match, This was u simple costume
made only of securing cloth, and yet,
when finished cost over three hundred
francs.

The Cowboy Element.

Much has been said and written about the terrible @ Cowboys of Cochise county Now, first, what these cowboys have done or havn't done would i'll large sized book, and certainly one-half would not be told. They have opened avenues for great. .diplo- matic correspondence, and caused, through misrepresentation from officials from this Territory, the President to send to Con- sress special message. Some thieves, a year since, stole considerable stock in Southern Arizona, and thieves have robbed the stage and killed few passengers; but these things must be expected in a new and rich mining country. We have our doubts about there being i'll Southern Arizona such an element as the desperate Cowboys de- scribed by the Acting Governor Arizona is no worse of than Idaho, Utah or New Mexico. Railroads bring to all new coun- tries men of bad heart and unwilling to work, and such is the case in Cochise county. However, intime, these people find their level and inc law is sure to cone out supreme.
 The report sent to the Secretary of the Interior, by .Gosper, has had very dama- ging effect. People believe that to even enter Arizona IS worth their lives That the Apaches in war and blood time were high-toned gentlemen compared to the Ari- zona Cowboy.
 The so called Cowboy is a free and easy, generous, open-hearted individual, always ready to resent an insult and protect a friend, and we say there is nothing to be feared from the cattle herders. It is the highwaymen ill seek of treasure that is to be watched and feared

The Cure for Gossip.

What is the cure for gossipl Simply, culture. There is great deal of gossip that Las no malignity in it. Good na- tured people talk about their neighbors because, and not only because, they have nothing else to talk about. Aswe write there comes to us the picture of a family of young ladies. We have seen them at home, we have caught glimpses of them going from a book store or library, with a fresh volume in their hands. When we meet them, they are full of what they have seen and read. They are brimming with questions. One topic of conversation Is dropped only to give place to another, in which they are in- terested. We have left them, after a de- | lightful hour, stimulated and refreshed; and during the whole hour not a neigh bor's garment was soiled, not so much as a touch. They had something to talk about. They knew something and want ed to know more. They could listen as well s talk. To speak freely of neigh bor's doings and belongings would have seemed an impertinence to them, and, of course, an impopriety. They had no temptation to gossip, because the do- ings of their neighbors formed subject very much less interesting than those which grew out of their knowledge and culture
 And this tells the whole story. The confirmed gossip is always either mali cious or ignorant. The one variety needs change of pasture. Gossip Is always a personal confession either of malice or imbecility, and the young should not only shun it, but by the most thorough culture relieve themselves from all temptation to indulge in it. It is low, frivilous, and, too often, a dirty business. There are country neighborhoods in which it rages like pest. Churches are split in pieces by it. Neighbors are made enemies by it for life. In many persons 1t degene- rates into chronic disease, which is prac- tically incurable. Let the young cure 1t while they may Dr. J. G. Holland.
