Drop the Cigarette.

'-Medicus" writes to the London Ian
Get from Middlesex Hospital: Having
found in the course of my private prac-
tice and that of the hospital Il marked
increase in cases OF malignant throat
diseases. l, together with some of my
colleagues. have made some careful re-
searches into the cause of this, aud
finding that males were almost eAciu-
siyely affected led rs on the track that
smoking was in a great many Instances
the primary cause. j am not by any
means one of those who consider the
pipe. cigar, ar the ordinary cigarette
Injurious, but am persuaded that the
cigarette imported from Egypt or
Turkey is mixed, presumably to. give
it peculiai. taste or flavor. with some
insidious poison. am led TO this cor
clusion by d careful analysis of beth
the home Manufacture. and that of The
foreicn. Ia the latter large proper
ton of opium AMI an unslasS;tied aka

A Rising Genius.

II want to know the name of the
man who wrote this article said an
old gentleman who hobbled into the
sanctum of a New York paper.
The managing editor looked at the
article the old man pointed out and
replied:
..Well, sir, what's the matter with
that article about the coal output?
There is nothing personal about that
unless you are a coal dealer
81 am no coal DEALER
Then how does that article interest
your"
.sIn this way: have read the pa
pers regularly for forty years. and that
is the first article on the subject / have
ever read that didn't have something
to say about black diamonds or sdusky
diamonds The young man who wrote
that article has a brilliant future be-
fore him. and I'd like to have him come
and take dinner with me some day.
and, leaving his card, the old man
hobbled out into the street.-Teras

The water witch brought first blood.
He told the people that they would
find water on the Central house lot if
they would go sixty feet for it. They
began drilling where he indicated,
and at depth Of about sixty feet
they struck water, and in a few
minutes the hole contained more than
two feet of water. When we take
into consideration that several at,
tempts have been made on the sam
premises in the past to obtain water.
Prof. Hammond has gained quite a
victory. They intend extending the
hole to seventy feet to strengthen the
supply and make the space for the
water larger.-Ness City Sentinel.

A Big Cash Chest.

This great steel casb-box of the
government, which has just been pnt
In readiness TO receive the OVERLOOKING
millions of coin of the republic, is the
largest construction of the kind in the:
world, says a Washington letter to the
Philadelphia Times. It lies buried
under the north court of the treasury
building, where all the hundreds Of
millions of the peoples money is kept
It consists of outer walls of masonry
and brick and a covering OF iron grid
ers, brick arches and concrete five feet
thick, and an inner lining of heavy
plates of steel The inside measure
ments are so by so feet and II feet
high. For the convenience and addi-
tionsl security of storage the interior
is divided into sixteen steel lattice cells.
20 by 10 feet. with a capacity of $780,
600 silver dollars each. They are sur
rounded by an outer corridor and open
upon a transverse passage.
The inner door of this immense coin
chest is massive construction of steel,
s by 6 feet inches thick, aud weighs
5000 pounds. An apparatus consist
ing of levers and combination of
cogs is required to open and close ton
its tracks. A half-dozen men can bare
II move it unaided by this mechanical
appliance.
A practical idea of the size of this
immense subterranean cash box may
be formed by showing its holding
capacity in silver coin. It is estimated
to accommodate 800, 600, 600 in the
cells or sixteen latticed subdivisions.
The silver is packed in heavy canvas
bags 1910 inches, each holding LOCO
silver dollars and weighing about fifty
nine pounds. Each cell contains &c.
