Perlls of the Cigarette.


Scarcely less injurious, in q subtle aud
generally unrecognized way, than the habit
of taking nips" of alcohol between meals
is the growing practice Of smoking cigarettes
necessarily. We have not word to say
against smoking at suitable times and in
moderation nor do our remarks at this mo-
ment apply to the use of the cigar or pipe.
1t is against the habit of smoking cigar
cites in large quantities, with the belief
that these miniature doses of nicotine are
innocuous. we desire to enter protest.
The truth is that, perhaps owing to the way
the tobacco leaf is shredded, coupled with
the fact that 1t is brought into more direct
relation with the mouth and air passages than
when it is smoked in pipe or cigar the
effects produced on the nervous system by
a free consumption of cigarettes are more
marked and characteristic than those recog-
niZable after recourse to other modes of
smoking. A pulse tracing made after the
subject has smoked, say dozen cigarettes
will, as rule, be ilatter and more indicative
of depression than one taken after the
smoking of cigars. 1t is no uncommon
practice for young men who smoke cigar
cites habitually, 10 consume from eight to
twelve an hour, and to keep it up for four
or five hours daily. The total quantity of
tobacco consumed may not seem large, but,
beyond question, the volume of smoke to
which the breath organs of the smoker are
exposed, and the characteristics of that
smoke as regards the proportion of nicotine
introduced into the system, combine to
place the organism very fully under the in
fluence of the tobacco. A considerable
number of cases have been brought under
our notice during the last few months, in
which youths and young men who have not
yet completed the full term of physical de
velopment, have had their health seriously
impaired by the practice of most necessarily
smoking cigarettes. 1t is well that the facts
should be known, as the impression evil
IDENTIFY prevails that any number of these
little whiffs must needs be perfectly innoc-
uous, whereas they often do infinite harm

What q Timely Word May Do.

One Sunday evening some twenty years
ago, dissipated young man was lounging
under the elm trees in the public square Of
Worcester. He had become wretched waif
on the current of time. Ills days were spent
in the waking remorse of the drunkard.
His nights were passed in the butfooneries
of the ale.house. AS he sauntered along,
out of humor with himself and with all
mankind, hand was laid on his shoulder
and a voice said in cordial tones, Mr..
Cough, come, go down with me to our meet.
ing at the town hall tonight" A brief
conversation followed, so winning in its
character that the young man consented to
go. He went. lie heard the appeals there
made, and with trembling hands he signed
the pledge of total abstinence. BY Gods
help he kept it, and keeps it yet. The poor
bootcrimper who tapped him on the shout
der, Joel Stratton, has gone to heaven. But
the youth he saved is to-day the foremost OF
reformers on the face of the globe. Me
thinks, when listen TO the thunders OF
applause that greet John Is. Cough on the
platform of the Academy of Music, am
hearing the echoes of that tap on the shout
der, and of that kind invitation under the
elm trees of Worcester.-Cuyler.

"Onr Teacher Uses TOBACCO

This may be said by many pupil-and
not with the tone that means compliment
either. There are three classes of people
that certainly have no moral right to use
tobacco, for it is vice, and leads to other
vices. These classes, ministers, teachers and
temperance lecturers, in fact, all Christians
should abstain. All admit, even those who
use it, that it is bad example; that, of course,
brings it under condemnation for all Chris
tian people. As TO the teacher, he must be
a good pattern, and practice what he teaches.
Precept has but little weight with pupils or
hearers, unless accompanied by example.
Again, the teacher has no right TO lay down
laws for his pupils that he himself does not
show and produce by his daily life that he
obeys. II it is wrong for the boys and girls
to smoke and chew, it is wrong for the
teacher. Yes, wrong, even when he confines
his indulgence to his own home. Hasten
the day, then, public opinion, when the
tobacco chewer, the smoker, cannot also be
a teacher.-Mrs. q. w. Draper.

One aud the Same.

The New York Times calls attention 10
the fact noticeable there as it is elsewhere,
that the better class Of liquor-dealers, those
who themselves comply with the law, are
not found, in case of an issue between the
friends of law and its violators, on the side
OF the former. Almost without exception
their sympathy and aid go to those who sell
liquors in defiance of the regulations made
10 do away with the worst and most degrad-
ing features of the trade. Practically, the
whole iquor-selling interest is arrayed
against all restrictions and in favor of tie
freest traffic. The organic atoms which have
from time to time been formed of those who
do not advocate prohibition, but favor tenn
peranoe, order and decency, get no import
ant assistance from those who conduct what
they would call respectable business in in-
toxicating drink. They do not wish 10 be
