Tobacco Among Boys.

The Boston Journal has been canvas
sing the tobacco question in the public
schools of Boston and discovers that Il
very large number of schoOl-boyS use
tobacco. most of these smoking, al
though few chew. The percentage
in some schools is as high as fifty, and
several teachers rated it at forty in
theirs. At the Prince school on Exeter
street, in the Back bay region, the
master did not know of single in
stance of the use of tobacco; at the
Eliot school in the heart of the North
end full half the boys chewed or SmOk
ed. except in the first class, where the
master thought not more than third
were 50 addicted. The head master of
the Latin school said probably half the
BOYS from II to II smoked; the head
master of the English high school
thought there was comparatively lit
tie of the habit among his pupils.
The principal of the Dudley school for
BOYS mt the highlands said that. in the
sixteen years he had taught there. the
number of smokers among his pupils
had nearly doubled. Most of them
smoke without the knowledge of their
parents, except among the poorest
classes and the most prosperous; in
the former instance the parents don't
care, in the latter they say they can't
help ii. Boston parents are apparently
not on very intimate terms with their
children, as they generally receive the
information that their boys are getting
the tobacco habit with much surprise,
and one teacher mentioned the case of
boy who was fast becoming a physi-
cal wreck because of it, Yet his parents
had known nothing of 1t until he told
them. The smokers, all agreed, were
mainly the poorest scholars, and there
were fewer in proportion in the upper
classes because the poorest scholars
drop out before reaching it. The boys
from the lower strata, the children of
foreigners, smoke cigar-stubs, and
even clay pipes. Many lad from II
tn II smokes his cigaret, fancying, II
lac thinks anything about it, that it is
not 50 strong or coarse as "a cigar and
far more gentle than a pipe. This Is
the most pernicious of all fashions OF
using tobacco, and its effect on the
growing lad cannot but Toe mischievou.
physically and mentally. Indifference
ON the part of parents i'll this matter l.
a wicked mistake.

Various Causes


Advancing years, care, sickness, diSap-
pointment, and hereditary predispoSi-
tion-all operate to turn the hair gray,
and either of them inclineS it to shed
prematurely. AYERS HAIR VIGOR will
restore faded or gray, light or red hair
to a rich brown or deep black, as may
be desired. 1t Softens and cleanses the
scalp, giving it Il healthy action. 1t
removes and cures dandruff and humors.
BY its use falling hair is checked, and
a new growth will be produced in all
cases where the follicles are not de-
stroyed or the glands decayed Its
effects are beautifully shown on brashy,
weak, or sickly hair, on which a few
applications will produce the gloss and
freshness of youth. Harmless and sure
in its results, it is Incompatible as
a dressing, and is especially valued
for the soft lustre and richness of tone
it imparts.
AYERS HAIR VIGoR is colOrless;
contains neither oil nor dye; and will
not soil or color white cambria; yet
it lasts long on the hair, and keeps
it fresh and vigorous, impartinS an

for his person in order that they might
kick him over into the inky night of
space. He has represented himself as
confidential adviser and literary tourist
of several prominent New York, Chi
cago, Omaha, and Tie Siding dailies,
and had such good documents to show
in proof of his identity in that capaci
ty that he has received many courte
sizes which, as an ordinary American
dead beat, he might have experienced
difficulty i'll securing.
When last seen he was headed west,
and will probably strike Eureka, Ne
vada. in "A week or two. His mission
seems to be mainly to make people feel
a goneness il their eXchequer, and to
distribute tobacco dados over the office
stoves of our great land. He is a man
who writes long letters to the New
York Herald that are never printed.
His freshly blown nose is red, but his
newspaper articles are not. Such men
rs Major Wilson make us suspicious of
humanity, and very likely the next
man who comes along here, and repre-
sents that he is a grea man and wants

fame, will have to he identified. We
have helped forty or fifty such men to
make a bridal tour of Wyoming, and
now we are going to saw off and quit.
When great journalist comes into this
office again with an internal revenue
tax on his breath and $40 back on his
baggage, we will probably pick up
fifty pounds chunk of North Park
quartz and spread his intellectual fac
ulties around this building till it looks
