Steamship Earnmoor.

BALTIMORE, Md, Oct 25.-Carl Graves,
fireman, and Ludwig Lodes, two survivors
OF the crew of the steamship Earnmoor, last

sustained life by cannibalism for days. The
two men described how, upon the death
of several of their comrades, when
unable to obtain anything else, they
had eaten the flesh from the bodies
and sucked the blood, and how three days
swell, which they attributed TO the poison
from human flesh and blood. They have no
recollection of how the flesh and blood
tasted, so great was their mental anguish at
the tlue.

Peril and Pleasure In Smoke.

Through an interview published in
the Philadelphia Inquirer, DIR. \. II. p
Leuf, who has charge of the physical
training of the students of the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania. makes furious
attack upon tobacco. Tho weed has
lhriyen finely, under SO many fierce as
saults, that there need lie little fear
among the tobacco growers aud dealers
of Lancaster, that the remarks of the
doctor will have any important effect,
but il Is interesting TO note how many
terrible things man can see in poor
little roll of weed, if he only tries right
hard. DR.. Leuf recites the familiar facts
about the deadly nicotine, how in con
eentrated solution one drop killed dog
and how it would destroy human life in
from two 10 five minutes. In fact 50
swift and sure "a killer does nicotine ap-
pear that the wonder is that no one mas
tuggested the use of il in the execution
OF criminals. He says that there is
enough of this poison in cigar to Kill
two men il il were all absorbed. which
u Is not, and he tells OF a smuggler who
was fatally poisoned by concealing To-
hacco leaves next 10 his skin. Accord
TO his own observation OF the students
OF the University, the use of tobacco
dulls the mind aud lowers the mental,
physical and moral stamina OF the race,
besides creating an appetite for strong
drink, and killing many people for the
doctor holds that very many deaths at
tributed To other causes, are due to to-
bacco. He is evidently quite sincere in
his belief that the use Of tobacco e the
root Of much, If not all evil, and like
most eforinen, considerably weakens
