For some time past The Chicago
journal and The Evening News have
been waging vigorous warfare against
cigarettes. Tile Journal has printed a
series of articles showing the large
humber of cigarettes that wcrc sold by
small shopkecpers to the public school
pupils and has had interviews with
Che principals of the various schools
and with physicians, showing the ex-
tent and injury of the cigarette prac-
tice among young boys The News
has been Investigating the compost
tioni and effect of cigarettes generally.
With this end in view a number of
packages of each brand commonly
used We're purchased and stripped of
the boxes, cards and every distinguish
ing mark Each kind was put into. O
pasteboari box. the hid of which was
inscribed with a letter. These were
taken for analysis to Professor Della
fontaine, a we'll known chemist.
He found that the. cigarettes he
tested were generally made of to-
hacco "imperfectly fermented, =" which
means that an unusually large amount
of nicotine was present In them. He
found that nearly all had an unnatural
proportion of msoiuble ash, that sew
eral kinds were stepped in an injurious
substance, and were impregnated with
dirt in varying proportions.-Ne New

sheridan.s Grare IN Arllnrton.


In their evening drives those who take
in the shaded solitudes of Arlington OBJ
servo change in the appearances of the
grave of Sheridan, although it was Mrs.
Sheridan's wish that the treasured relics
OF mortality OF her husband should be
laid in their mother earth in the simple
grave of soldier. Since the martial
ceremony and manner of burial Sere
compassed in accordance with her wishes,
few weeks ago, the military authorities
of the grounds have added some Inn
provements of their own. Without
opening the grave they have dug around
the casket and have enveIoped it In q
casing of brick and cement. On the top
they have sunk in the earth an immense
stone of cubic form weighing about three
tons, which originally was the base of a
column of the old war depHt ttment.
The sacred spot of Sheridan's final rest
is now marked by the appearance of the
dressed surface of this immense bowlder
about one inch above the fresh green of
the surrounding turf. 1t bears no I'M
scription, but wreaths of fimmortelles mark
it to the gay drivers by that 1t is grave.
Until a suitable monument rears it's In
scribed form of granite or bronze the
stranger must be told that there rest on
that peaceful hillside the ashes of the
hero of WINCHESTER and Five Forks

From Quaint old Nantuclrst.

Apropos of Nantucket, one hears some
rather odd sayings and of some quaint
happenings there.
'.You see, we are somewhat out of the
way" said one of the islanders; $50
tramps seldom trouble us, and it is only
when our summer visitors come that we
think of locking our doors at night.
Last fall man was tried for petty lar
eeny, and sentenced by the Judge to
three months in jail a few days after
the trial the judge, accompanied by the
sheriff, was on his way to the Boston
boat when they passed man saving
wood.
The sawyer stopped his work, touched
his hat and said: "Good morning,
judge
The judge looked at him a moment,
passed on a short distance. then turned
to glance backward, with the question:
why, sheriff, isn't that the man SEN
fenced to three months in jail?''
'FYes, y replied the sheriff, hesitatingly,
'tyes, that's the man; but you-you see,
Judge. we've haven't any one in jail
now, and we thought it useless expense
to hire somebody to keep the jail for
three months just for this one man; so ]
gave him the jail key, and told him that
II he'd sleep there nights it would be all
right. ."-R. A. Marr in Harper's Maya

Tho scales Evenly Balancetl,

Nowhere else in nature do the scales Of
retributive justice seem to be so evenly
balanced as among the little people oI
the water. Looking at this fact as it af-
fects the frog, 1t will be seen that while
snakes devour frogs in great numbers,
frogs eat young snakes. The same thing
applies to tho crawfshes, which in
maturity prey upon tadpoles, while the
mature frog esteems nothing better
than crusty little crawffsh. Time and
again when turtles are given credit for
dragging down and drowning young
ducks, the bull frog is the real cuIprit;
and q constant slaughter goes on in ponds
where both abound with the catfish as
the aggressor and adolescent frogs the
victims on tile one hand, and mature
frogs butchering the little cats on the
other. Water spiders and beetles are
popularity supposed to be at the mercy OF
frogs; but in reality the young frog has
no more deadly enemies than aquatic in
sects. Henry Newport in Detroit Free

When the sewing machine first came
into general use it was feared that it
would do away with the means of sup
port of the sewing girls, making it SIM
pie matter for every household to COM
pass all its own sewing in comparatively
no time at all. But. contrary to con-
lecture, precisely the opposite has been
the result; for the sewing machine made
plain work 20 easy that fucks, rufies. in
sertings, ar 4 all the finer faneies of the
needle, done By its aid, came TO be ais
much matter of course as the plain
seam used to be. SO that work accumu-
lated beyond all expectation, and the
class of sewing girls found more to do
than they had ever dreamed of having;
and those who had worn the simplest
sort of clothes suffered from prevalent
feeling which made plain clothes seem
to manifest a want of taste and elegance
and care for appearances.
With all this superabundance, then. of
fancifuI cutting out and putting together
again. of stitching and trimming with
bands and edgings, that came IN for the

Clerks have established their head

actively engaged in pushing their bill
through Congress, for the Classification
Of clerks in first-class postoffices, and for
fixing salaries Of same"
The secretary of the association was
seen by a CRITIC news gatherer yesterday
and he said;
"All we are trying to get is simple
justice. All other employees of the
postoffices have their salaries fixed by
law, except the clerks in the first-class
offices.
"our bill provides That the clerks en-
ployed in first-class postoflices Except
assistant postmasters cashiers and super
intendents), shall be divided into six
classes
The salaries will be classified as fol-
lows First class, 5000; second class, $500;
third class, 81 900; fourth class, 81 200;
fifth class, 81 800; sixth class, 81 400.

sOoiations have been formed from time

gaining the much-desired result. But
This time we are organized ON firm basis
and mean to fight il through"
The salaries are very unequal, and some
are as small as $17 per month.
