It is very unusual to find in a great smoker healthy appetite for plain food, and medical opinions may be had in any number as to dyspepsia caused by smoking. To whatever de- gree the habit affects the nervous CT ganization, it appears to be certain that the process which is regarded as soothing IS really destructive. Sir Benjamin Brodie must have known what he was writing about when he declared that "the poison of tobacco acts by destroying the function of the brain" In Russian hospital in 1886 Dr. Chadnowski toek the liberty of examining by means of a pump the digestive powers of six smoking and as many non-smeking soldiers, and he recorded that "ln the former the time required for digestion averaged seven hours, wilhelm the case of the non smokers the mean period of digestion was only six hours" With the pres ent enormous consumption of tobacco the social consequences, apart from those concerning the bodily and men tai powers of the consumers, are i'm portant.-Pall Mall Gazette.

LITERARY vOlUPTUARiES.
Reading for Mere Pleasure as Against
Reading for study.


Perhaps the greatest pleasure in life
is an ill-regulated passion for reading.
Books are the best of friends, the most
complacent Of companions. Unlike
their authors, they have no suscepti-
bilties TO be ruffled. You may toss
them aside in a passing fit of impa-
tience, to find yourself on as pleasant
terms as ever with them when your
humor changes. In that silent, though
eloquent and vivacious company, there
can be no monotony, as there are no
jealousies; and, indeed, Inconsistency
becomes duty and virtue, as with
the sage King Solomon among his
hundreds Of wives. We may talk of
tossing cherished volumes aside. for
the literary voluptuary has nothing in
common with the luxurious collector.
The passion for exquisite Elzevirs, for
sumptuous editions in superb bind
ings is almost invariably antipathetcal
to the love of reading. The collector
is curious about margins, Typography
and castings, but comparatively indif-
ferent to contents. A library got to-
gether regardless of expense can sell

any one. least OF all to its possessor.
The books one loves will be there
nay, you are bothered by an embar-
rassment of riches but you scarcely
recognize your most familiar friends
in their court dresses, and you ap-
proach them with formality in fear
and trembling. Having no claim
to the genius of johnson or
De Quincy. you dare not

those distinguished scholars would have
done. On the other hand. the volupt-

him. All is fish that comes to his net;
he is grateful to the men who have

ing. But admiration or gratitude does
not lead him to imitation, even if he
have the memoIy, the mental grasp
and the style of Macauley. Yet for
the free-and-easy fashion of his self
indulgence he can quote eminent pre-
cedenis. DR.. johnson himself laid
down the law that reading should be
done as inclination prompts one; he
was in the habit of dipping and skim
