The Use OF Tobacco.

The German government has serious-
lv taken this matter in hand. as smok-
ing is praciiced by the youth of that
country, ms that it has been considered
to have damaged their constitution,
and incapacitated them for the defense
Of their country. Ia certain towns in
Germany the police have orders to for
bid all lads under sixteen years Of age
to smoke in the streets, and to punish
the oflensc by fine and imprisonment.
Moreover, a Belgian physician has
found, during a journey Of observation
and inquiry, made at the request of the
Belgian government, that the too gen
eral and excessive use of tobacco is the
man cause Of color-blindness, an effec-
ton which is occaSioning increasing
anxiety, both in Belgium and Germany,
from its influence upon railway and
other accidents, and also upon military
efficiency.

WHY NOT

Not q little excitement has been
caused in New York because it has
been discovered that there is III cXis-
tence in that city Il corporation whose
object is 10 dispose of children whose
parents may for any reason wish to be
rid of them. In issuing its circulars
this stock company dwells particularly
On the responsibility of its connections.
the large number Of professional men
in high standing who make up its di-
rectory and the absolute secrecy with
which all its business is conducted.
The demand for healthy children is
large and, rs is well known, there are
army people in the world who have
little ones that they would like TO dis
pose of. The New York company sim
ply steps in and does the business on
commission, Just as any other com
mercial company would do in transac-
tons that were in its line. Nothing
could be more simple. and. if the pat
ronage !, large enough, il is bound TO
be immensely profitable.
In III are when corporations run en-
raEds for lis, deliver our packages,
beat our ca pets and clean the water
bugs out Of our nItchen; when stock
companies play our base ball, distrib-
ute our circulars. sweep up in front of
our houses and wash our linen, to say
nothing Of a great many other things,
why should nc. the proper distribution
ot children be turned over to Il Joint
stock enterprise? The New York Off
cials who are keeping a close watch
Of this new concern are not up with
the times evidently.

Ace Among the Chinese.

BROOKLYN Magazine: The Chinese
do not reckon their age from the day
of birth, but from New Years day. 1t
is on this account sometimes difficult to
find out the true are OF young children.
Here is Il tiny Shaycn-headed bundle of
humanity, scarcely able To stand alone
for a moment, and you are g~rayely as-
surcd that he is three years old, If
YOU have left the sacred rules Of pro-
priety at home, You venture mildly and
politely 10 east Just Il faint shadow OF
doubt upon the statement; or If you 90
not discredit the parent, assertion, bat
are still u~nacquainted with the mode Of
reckoning, you probably condoIe with
It's parents on the Slight degree Of
| progress he has made toward maturity.
! Should Z child arrive in this world at
five minutes to L on New Year eve,
tie fond father will proudly assure YOU
next morning that the new arrival is
two years old, and never 80 much as
think that what he says Is untrue. Sec
inc that clocks are very scare articles
except along the seacoast, and that
even where . clock is found time is Il
very elastic and variable quantity,
one wonders how such matters
are determined in certain cases.
The Chinese DO not conceal their age,
nor do they ever try to represent them
selves as younger than they are. There
is a much stronger tendency to add to
the stated number of their years than
to diminish it. On being introduced
to Il new acquaintance, the first Ques-
ton is, 'What is your distinguished
surname?' and the second is, What
is your honorable ageP' You repk to
one as readily AS to the other. Age Is
SO much respected that II is considered

The official estimate of an increase
of 100. 600, 600 bushels of wheat over

Rev. G.. o. Brown, the pastor of the
congregational church at Burlington,
deserves credit for his suggestion con-
corning the organization of a society of
the White Cross. When n woman falls
society scorns and shuns her, while the
author of her depreciation is popularity
held TO be guilty of n simple indiscre-
ton for which he may be readily par
doned. The purpose of the White
Cross society is TO render sins against
chastity as odious in man as woman
TO visit upon the male the same pun
ishment that is meted out to the female
offender. The society also aims TO dis
courage Vulgar jesting and indecent
conversation, and in every legitimate
way to promote personal purity, Every
city in the country has need OF such an
organization, and if one were formed
here it would doubtless do much good.
