Efects Of cioerette-!sn.ohi,.o.

DR.. j. c. Mulhall, who is connected with
the dispensary of the st. Louis Medical
college, has an article in the Courier Of
Medicine on the subject of "Cigarette
Smoking" which has more than a passing
interest for those addicted to the practice.
He considers the subject as distinct from
other forms of the tobacco habit. The
cigarette he says, whales the
smoke. which passes into the respiratory
passages, and it is this one and sole fact
which is at once the pleasure and vice of
cigarette smoking" The pleasurable IT.
ritation caused by contact Of the smoke
with the larynx and windpipe differs great
ly from the kind of tobacco used, and
cigarette smokers usually have strong likes
and dislikes in choosing. DR.. Mulhall
says that from his own experience, and
from a great number of observations made
upon others, he is satisfied that the smoke
in process of inhalation is taken as far as
an inch into each bronchus, coming in con
tact therefore with four ''cough-spots," the
bifurcation of the trachea, its posterior
wall, the under surface of the vocal chords.
and the inter-arytessoid commissure. 1t
is estimated that the smoke thus comes in
cuous membrane that it does in ordinary
smoking, and hence the absorption of
nicotine is excessive. The desired narcotic
effect is obtained by the use of much less
tobacco than in other methods in
which the mouth alone is ordinarr-
ly used as a smoke chamber.
From examinations of the respiratory pas
sages of many smokers, the conclusion is
drawn that inhalation is the chief evil.
Morbid signs are more marked in those
who use cheap cigarettes, and the doctor
remarks parenthetically that all the cigar
cites manufactured in this country belong
to the class that is cheap and vile. He
does not consider the constitutional effects
of this vice more serious than that of to-
bacco as ordinarily used, except that eas
there is economy of time and tobacco,
much more nicotine is apt to be consumed.
The chief evils of the cigarette habit are
considered to be that its miIdness and
cheapness induce the habit of smoking in
the young: that its enormous demand has
led to adulteration; that it establishes in
smokers the habit OF inhalation, and there
by intensifes the narcotic effect.

prove very bad one. The agents of the
firm here were E. 2. and T. w. Ferry, who
acted as cashier and manager. The prop
erty here and about 100000 worth OF
lumber was sold to Cutler of Grand Haven,
for the money which he loaned
them from his bank. You
couldn't expect anything else than failure
from the manner in which they did their
business. One neglected it and sailed into
politics; the other, Ed, went into Utah and
started in mining, which proved a mine for
the burial of good business. Lumber is
branch of trade that demands close at
tention. 1t is business that can't stand
neglect, and it will not run itself. The
Ferrys had enterprise. They built the
little town of Montague, opposite White
hall, where they had an interest in two
mills and store. am afraid that the
requests left by their father will never re-
alize a cent. 1t is the natural out

able business. They owned a mill
on Black lake, between Muskegon and
Grand Haven. They were cutting the last
of their pine on their land on White river
this winter. They own immense tracts of
timber lands which are now exhausted.
You will find that Senator Ferry, though
he is frst-rate man, has run his career,
and that ne has reached the end, and that
the boys have wasted handsome patri-
mony left by their father. The only thing
am afraid-of is that innocent parties are
seriously hurt by this failare. There are
others interested with them in business,
and the Ferrys went on issuing notes, for
which their associates are equally liable,
and no one knows to what extent these
notes have been issued, and here is where
the rub comes in"
DETROIT, Feb. GA dispatch from
Grand Haven says Edward p, one of the
firm of Ferry & Bro, while refusing to
make any statement concerning the affairs
of the firm, declares the report concerning
them greatly exaggerated, and declares he
shall devote himself to the senator's re-
election, after which he will make public
statement of the liabilities Of the firm,
which will present the matter in much
more favorable light. He claims to have
ascertained that the banks at Flint hold
$4,000, two-thirds secured by good in
dorsements, and the balance by attach
ment levies.

The report of the grand recorder was
submitted and adopted. From this it ap-
pears that during the year 1882 there were
fifteen deaths and there were sixteen as
sessments issued. Three of these assess
ments, viz: Numbers l. 2 and were for
deaths which occurred in 1881, and two of
the deaths were paid from surplus with
out any assessment, so that there have been
only thirteen assessments for deaths oc-
curing during the year. Warrants have
been issued for the payment of all the
deaths covered by these sixteen assess
ments, and also for the two paid from
surplus. We have paid nineteen death
claims during the year, amounting to
$4,000, four of these being for deaths
which occurred during 1881.
This Is the lowest mortality since the
first year of our existence as a separate
beneficiary Jurisdiction, and is testimony
to the value of our present system of SUI
pervision by grand lodge medical director,
and also an indication that we are getting
rid of our unhealthy risks.
The report of the grand medical director,
DR.. Talbot Jones, recounts his work during
the year, showing ffty-fve applicants re-
jected for cause, mostly intemperance or
rredispo5ition to consumption. He con-
cludes with number of recommendations
designed to increase the efficiency of the
examinations and decrease the death rate
in the order.

morning in order to allow the committees
time to examine the several reports. The

THE FATHER OF THE FERRY BOYS"

THE FATHER OF THE FERRY BOYS,
said gentleman who knows the family
we'll, 'came to Chicago great many years
ago as missionary. He made trip to
Mackinaw, and on his return told Mr..
B. W. Raymond that he saw an open
ing for a store there, and Mr.. Ray
mond trusted him for a stock OF
goods. That store was the founda-
tien of his fortune. He made money, and
invested it in pine lands-bought an i'm
mense acreage in the course of time, but
a good deal of the timber was near the
water, and was not as good as that inland.
He established himself in the lumber bust
ness in Chicago, and for long time the
firm was Ferry & Son. When the father
died, he left will under which the boys
were to pay SO much q thousand stumpage
to the estate I don't recollect the price,
but it was considered pretty high in those
days. However, when the prices went up,
it left good margin. After the old gen
tleman's death the firm became Ferry &
Bro, land they have been in the business for
twenty years. At first their affairs here
were managed by very competent man,
and they made money. But he died, and
they lost his services. Since then the bust
ness has been conducted by others, who
may be just as reliable, but they haven't
as much experience, and not as much trad
ing hes been done as in years gone by.
Senator Ferry looked after the Chicago
business, but since his entrance into poll
tics hasn't given it as much attention as he
otherwise would have done. His brother
has machine shop at Grand Haven, and at
one time injured his mind by overwork.
Their head book-keeper here some years
ago turned out to be defaulter, and they
lost something through him, but how
much don't know. They owned two or
three vessels, which brought their lumber
here, and also mill at Black River and
another at Grand Haven"

The Hoosac TuIlneI and It's Care.

The annual report of Manager Locke
gives the following particulars of the care
taken of the Hoosac tunnel: A gang of
miners take care of the roof and sides of
the tunnel. and two gangs work on the
track in the tunnel and one mile from the
portals on either side. Under this arrange
ment no stones have fallen on the track for
the past wear. nor in the FIVE years preced-
ing. The amount Of loose rock found IS
gradually diminishing, but this system of
inspection will have to be continued many
years to insure safety. On account of
smoke in the tunnel lis difficult to arrange
any signal except that which will make
noise, and for that reason none but tor
pedoes have been considered practicable.
No train is now allowed to enter until the
one preceding it on the same track has
passed out and no train is allowed in on
either track while there is passenger
train in the tunnel. AS bust
ness increases it viii be necessary to uss
signals. telegraph operator will have to
be stationed at the center, dividing the
tunnel into blocks. In order to carry out
the above successfully, the atmosphere
must be reasonably clear, and the whole
tunnel must be lighted. Within very
few years the natural increase of business
will require that trains shall be drawn
through the tunnel by understanding
or coke-burning engines. Then the cleo
trio light, which is of little or no beneftin
smoke, should. when the tunnel is kept
clear of smoke. be used to illuminate every
foot of the track, so that signals may be
used to about the same. extent as in the
open air. During the year 63,570 eastern
bound and $1,000 west bound freight cars
were hauled through the Hoosac tunnel,
making total of 1915 Of these 6l,995
of the east bound and 1858 of the west
bound cars were loaded. A total of 1900
trains has passed through the tunnel dur
ing the year, of which 1000 were passenger
and 5,107 freight, making an average of
fortY-one trains day. A total of III, 496
east bound and 110,654 west bound passen-
gers were carried over the road during the
year. and l,O43,650 tons of freight were
moved.
The average birth rate per annum in
France for the period between 1872 and
1880 has been calculated to be one birth
for 81 inhabitants, which is by far the low
est birth rate in Europe. For the different
countries the birth rate is as follows: Rus
STA. one birth for 90 inhabitants; Germany,
one birth for %; Austria Hungary, one
