from Ills forthcoming AUTOBIOGRAPHY.

love me. Without such one near me existence

to take coffee at his house. We entered, and the
first person on whom my gaze fell was the onewho
had caused my coming on shore.
Ii was Anita The mother of my children. The
companion of my life il good and evil fortune The
woman whose courage have so often desired. We
both remained in ecst0tiC silence, gazing at each
other like two persons who do not meet for the first

Cigars and Cancer,
From the Washington Star:

From the Washington Star:
as it true that smoking cigaIs causes cancer
"Hardly. Excessive smCk nc, as excessive eating,
drinking any other dissipation will promote
cancer if the person is already predispoSed 10 it.
There is 10 reason to suppose that smoking vii
cause cancer Many people smoke at frghtful
rate and get cancer. Many never tobacco
and die with cancer. Women have cancer of the
breast and threat They are not caused by smo
ing. Ii person is predisposed to cancer it may lie
brought ont by any sort of violence against nature
Late hours too mneh eatng too much drinking
Irregular habits OF any sort may develop it, 1t may
lie developed by hard blow. Sullivan might hit
man in the neck and develop a cancer Tor him. A
long continued sore throat breathing bad air for
long time, any hing irritating the throat might de-
yelop cancer that was trying to come into exist
ence. There is theory that cancer is HEREDITARY
but the HEREDITARY line is not strongly marked
H,rditament in it cannot be traced with any GER
tainty. Cancers are not common.
'Tlere are many throat troubles not cancerons
that are very common and annoying The throat
is affected by the climate and atmosphere. Bad air
will cause continuous thro irritation The bad air
in some ofthe public buildings here makes many
tl.r, s suffer- and might remotely assist the deye
opment Of cancer. The bureau of engraving and
printing and the printing Office frightfGl the
thr0ats of those employed in them"

so far overcome by nervous prosration that the

finally, got from her that during the evening She
