Ehh-Tde,

EbblT1de.
The tide slips from the harbor's mouth,
The rugged reefs stretch far away,
The tangled grasses lightly sway,
And faint odor of the South
Comes stealing In across the bay.
The ships, Ike phantoms, lie asleep,
They wait the turning Of the tide,
And ere the dawn win safely glide
70 the broad bosom Of the deep,
Beyond the surf's unceasing chide.
When In our hearts the tide IL low,
When blackened reefs Of old despair
Rise 70 our view, We need not care;
The ttde returns; at morn We 20
To sunlit seas and skies moro fair.

War Against Cixarettes.

The subject Of cigarette smoking was earn
estly discussed yesterday afternoon at meet
ing OF the superintendents Of the department
OF narcotics Of the local auxiliaries Of the W.
Q. I. o., held In the Church Of Our Father.
Mrs. DR.. Kent, the District superintendent, pre-
sided. An address was delivered BY DR.. Caro-
line b. Winslow on the harmful effects of mar
cotics on the human system. In the discussion
mat followed 1t was stated that there were $40
places In the District, outside of hotels and
oar-5ooms, where tobacco was sold. The great
need OF popular education on the subject of the
injurious effects Of cigarette smoking was pre-
sented, and illustrated by the instance Of two
mothers whose young sons had been refused
cigarettes by conscientious tobacconist, per-
sonally requesting the dealer to give their boys
cigarettes whenever they called for them. The
importance Of efforts to secure the passage of
the bill against the sale Of cigarettes to minors,
introduced at the last session of Congress, was
strongly urged, and the facts brought out that
nearly all Of the physicians, clergymen and
public school teachers Of the District were in
favor of it. i was decided to hold public
meetings in the interest Of the department,
and to have meeting Of the superintendent
ON the first Friday of each month. X.
