Tobacco Smoke.

DR.. Zulinski has published in Il War
saw medical journal the results of a
long series of experiments made bv
him both upon human beings and ami
mails with view of verifying the phys
biological effects of tobacco smoke. He
found in the first place that it is dis
tinct poison, even in small doses. Up
on men its action is very slight when
not inhaled in large quantities, but it
would soon become powerful if the
smoker got into the habit of swallow
ing smoke" and DR.. Zulinski ascertain
ed that this tOXical property is not due ex-
clusfvely to the nicotine, BUTT contains
second toxical principal called colidene,
and also oxide of carbon and hydrocy-
anic acid. The effects produced by to-
bacco depend, he says, to great ex-
tent upon the nature of the tobacco and
the way in which it is smoked. The
cigar-smoker absorbs more poison than
the cigareGte-smoker, and the latter In
turn than those who smoke pipes, while
the smoker who takes the precaution of
using a nargile, or any other apparatus
that conducts the smoke through water,
reduces the smoke through deleterious,
effects of tobacco to medium. AS
rule, the light colored tobaccos are sup
posed to be the mildest, but DR.. Zu-
linski says that a great many of the
tobaccos are artiticialls lightened by
the aid of chemical agents which are
not always free from danger. He adds
chat several light tobaccos are open to
the objection of emitting burning
smoke, owing to a large proportion of
wooden fiberS which they contain, not
ably the French ''caporap' and the
English bird's-eye, and that the smoke
of these tobaccos is of such high tenn
perature as often to cause slight infam-
alton of the tongue, which with peo-
pie of mature age is not unlikely to lead
to cancer The dark tobaccos are Oft
en- adulterated, too, but DIR. Zulinski
thinks that upon the whole they are
less dangerous.

Cushions tufHng.

In the rear of a small harness shop in
a New Jersey village the other day, the
proprietor was making a humping
noise and raising big dust by pound
ing with whip-stock a heap of curly
black hair, which he had taken out of
an old carriage cushion.
'..What are you pounding that hair
for?" was asked when he stopped to
get breath and wipe the moisture
from his forehead with a red cotton
handkerchief.
''It is not hair" said the man.
What is it them"
"a mixture of marsh grass, moss,
and cocoanut fiber. Good imitation,
though, isn't it? You see, hair is a
frst-class article for stufing mattress
es, cushions, ETC., but it is expensive.
1t is clipped from the tails and names
of horses, dead and alive, from the tails
of cattle, from the bellies of hogs, and
from the human head. 1t is twisted in
to ropes to make it kinky, and when
the kink is set it is used to stuff the
cushion. 1t costs lot of money, even
when freely mixed with short hair.
Most people prefer genuine hair cush-
ION DIT ~ Ce1tS, 10 d genuine HAIR cuSn-
ion at So. So the manufacturers ac-
commodated them with this mixture.
Sometimes fine split whale-bone is put
in the mixture, and sometimes, though
not often, it is diluted little with hair.
The stuff costs from 500 to 500 a ton.
1t packs with use, but the cover of the
cheap cushion wears out about as soon
We can make a new cover and then use
the old filling over again by whipping
it with slender whip to liven it up.
There is no money in such stuff for any
one who handles it, but we've got to
meet the demand. "-NeU York Sam.
