For and Against the Weed.

From the National Review.
The fact that in a single cigar is contained
sufficient nicotine to kill two strong men is not
SO terrifying when it is remembered that the
other substances which 60 to make il up have
a neutralizing effect, though the school boys
experiences after his first pipe show the dire
results OF the drug when taken in unaccus-
toned doses, whether large or small. II is no
argument in Its favor to say that strong men,
clever men-aye, great men-have smoked and
owned no i'll effects from II. Those strong men
might have been stronger; those great men
greater. II is not rational to argue. as the
President OF the United States did when certain
officers of the army complained to him that
Gen. Grant was an immoderate drinker OF
whisky, and he replied. Let me know where
Grant gets his whisky that may send barrel
full to every general in the army" Bis
marck may smoke, but no amount of smoking
will create a Bismarck, rather will il. in nine
cases out Of ten, destroy the embryo chan
cellor or statesman. Neither are the facts
that wounded soldiers on the battle field cry
out for tobacco, that the Indians go for days
without food, subsisting only on the stimulus
of the pipe, that lunatics are allowed to smoke
to allay the frenzy Of their diseased brains, and
that by putting at big cigar the white man
preserves himself in tropical climates from in
sect pests, (though he destroys the insects),
any proof that tobacco is the health elixir some
people would have us to believe il to be;
abnormal suffering, whether of mind or body,
requires narcotic, unwonted situations de-
msnd unaccustomed habits. The chief harm
OF tobacco lies in the fact that the nicotc poison
acts by a system of accumulation; its toxic in
duences are not transitory as those OF alcohol.
Moderate quantities habitually taken result in
chronic nicotism Of the system. The process
somewhat resembles that Of tanning; il Is slow
but permanent Cannibals are said to turn I'M
their noses ct the nicotized nesh Of smokers.

A New Breed of Humanity, the Product
of Fashionable Society.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun
We are witnessing the production of a new
race of humanity, which is at present in its
infancy, and VIII be best named as 1.-The Don't
Children" The Don't children are the off
spring of the fashionable women up town and
on Columbia heights and the Hill in Brooklyn.
What kind of men and women they will make
time alone can tell, but the result is we'll worth
waiting for and will be very interesting. There
are few if any adults now alive whoSpent such
childhood as these little things are going
through, but as there are now tens of thou
sands Of such little ones they will make some
sort of distinct mark on the future social and
business life of the town.
The Don't children are those little things
we see in front OF the brown stone houses with
the nurse girls in mob caps and starched aprons.
These little children are very peculiarly
dressed; always ultra tashionably. Ii they are
little girls barely able to walk, they are
dressed in long skirts that reach to the pave
ments, and have on either bonnets like old
women or very great sprawling hats. Ii they
are boys they are dressed equally within an
inch of their lives, and in either case they
never stray five feet from their nurses
Their little faces look prematurely old
and are often deeply lined because it
is the fashion to keep them up with
their mothers assisting at entertaining in the
parlors, eating rich food at the regular family
dinner, and cake and ices at 10 or IL o'clock at
night. They have their own tastes in wines
and cordials and drink with the grown folks.
They go to the theaters and discuss the artists
on the stage indeed, they are all made up"
themselves as Elsie Leslies or Faunteroys, Or
whatever the child heroes of the stage may
happen to be called.
They are called Don't children because the
word don't is like an iron band that cramps
their little lives. When they try to do any
thing that is childish, when their spirits effer-
vesce and their infantile nature asserts itself in
any way don't is the word that checks them
II they start to run the nurse says DON'T if they
begin to romp she says don't; if they leap up
and down with glee the nurse says don't; if
they chatter at home, as little things will the
mother says don't; so she does if their hands
are soiled, if they smear their little mouths
with chocolate or get down on all fours with
the family kitten. Don't, don't don't is the
chorus OF their seniors and the obstacle to all
their natural inclinations.
They become as unnatural as dwarfs. as
stilted and cramped and abnormal as the trees
the Japanese stunt for centuries or the feet
that Chinese women compress in bandages
Their mothers rear them much in the same
spirit that they guard their jewels. They are
not to be free moment, or to get out of sight,
or to be left to the expression of "a legitimate
desire or trait childhood. 1t will be inter-
esting to happen up in the brown stone district
twenty-five years from now just to see what
sort of men and women these Don't childre en-
will become

From the Boston Transcript
There is an estimable lady, unmarried, and
not unknown to literature. living in this city,
who some time ago thought she had been par
ticularly fortunate in securing as a servant a
genuine Yankee girl from Methuen. The girl
was known to some friends who had summer
boarded down that way. and who recommended
the girl as very capable and energetic. The
Boston lady found the girl all Of this, but she
also found, what she might have expected. that
Olive Ann had no sort OF idea that she belonged
to lower social grade than her mistress, and
that she was disposed to take the entire man
agement OF the household, including a large
part Of Miss Tarbury's private affairs, into her
own hands. As Miss Tarbury, however. had
had great deal Of trouble in getting a capa-
BILE girl, she continued to bear Olive Ann 8
queer ways. The girl at first was aghast at the
city noise and the city "goins on" But by
and-by she began to be nightly Interested in
all these things, and would march into the
front parlor after her days work was done and,
seating herself on a hassock, peer through the
lace curtains at the passing people.
1t happened that Miss Tarburys apartments
were not far from a celebrated educational in
stitution. which Is attended by a large number
OF young men, some OF whom are very frolic-
some youths. Presently these young fellows
began, as they passed nightly, to notice the
crouching figure and wId-eyed wondering face
OF Olive Ann as she sat- with her chin resting
upon her palms, in Miss Tarbury's parlor win
dow. Then they began to tip their hats to the
queer figure, and even-the most impertinent
OF them-to smile sweety; and as Olive Ann
showed no signs OF displeasure. but, ON the
contrary, seemed to be very much pleased they
proceeded by easy but rapid stages to enter
into conversation with her through the open
window
All this. Of course. without the knowledge of
Miss Tarbury. But the young girl was much
too delighted with these polite attentions to
keep The matter to herself. So one evening"
while waiting in condescending way on Miss
Tarbury at supper she said:
mighty nice folks round here, Miss Tar
bury!'
Yes, Olive Ann, it is a very pleasant neigh
borhood."
AN there's some he! he! nice, perlite young
"Why. Olive Ami exclaimed Miss Tarbury
what do you know about the young feuers?'
''Oh, I've kinder got acquainted with some
ON 'em, thru the front winder."
"What do you mean?" Miss Tarbury was be-
coming thoroughly alarmed.
"Oh, they kinder visit along they go by,
sometimes, an an last night one of m said
was real good lookin': he! he! and asked me t.

''Olive Ann, what did you dor"
why. got one of your cards, Miss Tarbury
and threw that out 70 him! Why, Miss Tar
bury! what in the worlds the matter with yey
As soon as the lady had recovered from hei
fainting ft she gave Olive Ann summary motto
to quit, aud it is said to have been at least a
week before she ventured out Of the house.
