From The GeimdHt0rR IRdeDeRdeHt.
A prominent medical man says: "The
cigarettee has proven itself as fatal as
Rough on Rats in many instances. 1t
seems to be especially dangerous to inn
mature boys. Smoking cigars seems
to have few or no harmful effects on
mature persons, but case after case of
cigarette poisoning is reported. Per
haps moderation would not prove so
harmful, but one of the evils of the
cigarette habit seems to be an uncon-
trollable tendency to run into excesses.

with n PrIncely Income the Novelist
Is n Poor Man,

From TIE German.
The celebrated romancer, Emil Iola,
declares that he Is q poor man, although
he has no children and his wife displays
no especial extravaganza. Withoutthe
twenty thousand francs which the. pa
pers generally pay him for q novel, he
would have to go hungry. These facts
appear more strange, as the estate OF
the romancer in Meadon alone repre-
sents an immense fortune. hola has
certainly carried on remarkable as
well as expensive sport
He has, in his castle as well as in the
surrounding park, introduced electric
lights. He has also expended large
sums for numerous pavilions and such
buildings. In fact, II is thought zola's
passion for building has consumed his
colossal fortune of several millions,
which within the last fifteen years his
books have brought him.

The Civn Service Under Harrison.

ET-Spedker CdIIiSie IN He May Forum.
Since the organization of the Gov
erDment there have never been, during
the same length of time, so many re-
movals for purely political reasons as
have been made since the 4th day of
March, 1889, and the process is still go
ing on as rapidly as victims can be
found. The claim that "to the victors
belong the spoils'' has never in
our history been so vigorously
asserted or so relentlessly enforced
by party in power, and yet
the pretense Of devotion to the cause of
civil service reform has been all the
time ostentatiously proclaimed to the
country. 1t is true that nobody is de-
ceived by this pretense, but still it is an
affront to the intelligence of the people
that ought not to be tolerated.

The Law Of Kindness

We read in the Boston Trareiier Of
Feb. Is, of this kindly Initiative taken
by the sympathetic women of Phila-
delphia:
"Of all the alrocious customs which
are still carried on in foreign countries,
none are so barbarous aud cruel as that
of footbinding, to which every female
in the Celestial Empire is subjected
This question has long been a source
of discussion among women's societies
in this country, and at last the city OF
Brotherly Lore has aroused to the tact
that something should be done on this
side Of the world TO try and convince
the rulers of China that this inhuman
custom should be abolished.
Therefore the noble-hearted wom-
en- Of Philadelphia have drawn up a
missive which begs Of the Emperor to
consider what this freedom of move
ment may bring to the women of his
land, and his attention is called to the
rapid progress now going on in all
countries which his people can never
take part in while the race is allowed
to be crippled by the process Of foot
binding. The petition is worded in
such way rs to show the Emperor
how deeply interested the women Of
this country are concerning the well
fare Of their suffering sisters, and there
is no doubt that this beginning will be
the means of arousing similar feel
ing all over the world, which may, in
time, do away with this cruel custom. -

A Cats Generosity.

Cats are not only grateful, but gen.
erous. Here is a very remarkable
story, but quite true one as to that.
A well-known member of the British
Geological Society, owned very large
and solemn-looking- cat, very dignified
and well-bred. He was allowed to
come to the family dinner table-only
two or three persons being in the
household-and sat up on chair, and
wore napkin around his neck, and
always enjoyed a piece of fish. The
fish he ate by taking it from the plate
with his paws in the pieces into which
his master cut it but he behaved beau-
tifully, and usually had second sup
ply from his nj ster's plate. One day
he did not come to the dinner table at
the sound of the bell. just as the
family were eating the third course in
he rushed. He sprang up next to his
master, and it was seen, to the general
dsmay Of all, that he had two mice in
his mouth. One he dropped into his
masters plate, and the other into his
own. and looked up with the greatest
pride and pleasure.-Harper's Young
People.
