CIGARETTES SMOKING.
A Practice which, when Carried to Er-
cess, Results In Death.

a
cess, Results In Death.
tits perfectly we'll known to physicians
that excessive cigarctte-smoking does
do great deal Of harm. In tho first
place, people who smoke cigarettes do
more smoking than those who use cigars
and pipes. II man is going to leave
his Office to run across the street for
minute, or is walking to the corner to
take horse car, he will not light cigar;
he knows it must be thrown away inn
mcdiately, and sense of economy re
strains him. But II he is in the habit OF
rolling cigarettes, he may take Whit
Mt any time, and is pretty sure to be al
ways doingit. The result is that where
a non-smoker has the benefit Of some
fresh air in the lungs whenever he is
out Of doors. the cigarette smoker takes
in air charged with nicotine.
Smokers of cigars aud pipes do not,
as a rule, inhale smoke, but cigarette
smokers do. Why this should be. 1t is
difficult to say. but it is an acknowl-
edged fact that it is so. 1t is thus easy
to see why the results of cigarette
smoking should be so baneful. The air
in reaching the lungs and the blood
goes through the windpipe and the
bronchial tubes. Between the windpipe
and the lungs the bronchial tubes keep
! dividing into two. This incessant sub
division reduces them ultimately to
great fineness. In the lungs they are
scarcely wider than hair At the end
of each bronchial tube there is what
is called a pneumonia glo bule. 1t
is in this globule that tho air and blood
meet; it is here that the blood
becomes '.aerated." or oxygenized.
In the case of mon who inhale
the smoke of cigarettes, these
globules, instead of receiving fresh air,
receive air charged with nicotine. Ii
order to know the extent to which the
lungs receive the poisoned air it is only
necessary to remember that the area OF
these pneumonia globules is some thou
sand and two hundred square feet.
There is a popular notion that the
paper wrappings of cigarettes do the
mischief. The paper perhaps does burn
the mouth. The wrappers of some Turk
lSh cigarettes are lmpreSnaleu VIII
opium, and these, Of course, do harm
but that is not the fault of the cigarette
The trouble with cigarettes is tina
: people will smoke cigarettes at time
whom they will not smoke cigars. an'
that cigarette smokers thus use NOR
tobacco than other people, and tina
cigarette smokers inhale tobacco ant
take into the lungs air charged witt
> nicotine. N Y Times.

A SHERIFF in Franklin county,
Maine, had novel experience while
making an arrest. 1t was the sher-
ifs misfortune to be much under the
usual size, but he was full of pluck.
He was sent to arrest a notorious Of

He was burly two hundred-pounder
Grinning at the officer he laid down
on the ground and said: "If you get
me you will have to take me-" The
situation was favorable and the sheriff
was quick-witted. Without word he
took one OF the big mans feet under
each arm and started down the hill
with him as fast as he could go. The
fat man got such humping that he
begged for mercy, and the officer had
an easy time in completing his ar
rest.

appreciated may be inferred from the
fact that have seon ladies use them to

butter and also the poorest, according
to the demand. In some parts of the
West Indies butter is too expensive
and the inhabitants use lard, while
portions of Venezuela, Costa RIGA and
San Domingo take the best butter that

hands of two or three houses, while the
European trade is scattered among a
large number. We send butter to En-.

given rise to some queer dog stories in
the French papers. The officer shot
the dog because he was suspiciously
fat. The postmortem examination

shoulder and launches in such way
as to completely conceal the ends Of
the hair. In this coat the dog carried

the South; men who owned the labor,
and therefore did not require any protec-
tion for it; class of men who re-
ferred to the northern laborers as the
''mud-sills Of society,"" These individ-
uals were the first Americans to openly
advocate the adoption Of free trade in
this country. They were headed by
John G. Calhoun, who himself had been
an ardent protectionist. And he it was
who, in 1888, threatened to nullify the
tariff laws at the ports of South Carolina.
Andrew jackson, then President Of the
United States, and u Democrat of the JEFF
fersonian school, threatened to
HANG THIS SAME CALHOUN
if he undertook to interfere with the exc
cution of the law or the collection of
customs. Feelings ran high in South
Carolina, and Henry Clay, the lifelong
champion of protection, felt constrained
to introduce in congress his compromise
tariff measure Of 1888, which was de-
signed to gradually extinguish in this
country all form of protection toindustry
and labor. Mr.. Clay avowed his judg-
ment to be that the measure was
uNwIsE AND INEXpEDIENT.
and only justified by the necessity for
some act which would avert rebellion
at the South, and the evils of civil war
| It is true that about this time President
Jackson vetoed the bank bill, and this
caused disturbance in the financial af.
fairs of the country; but that act in itself
was not the cause of the crash that FOL
lowed in 1887. The truth is that Ameri
can industry soon became broken down
our people became
! PURCHASERS IN FOREIGN MARKETS,
our laborers were thrown out of employ
ment, our factory owners became bank
rupt, and in the space Of four years
under that tariff law of 1888, the balance
