Why Blind Persons Never Smoke.

A popularity about the blind is that
there is seldom one of them who
smokes. Soldiers and sailors. ac-
customed to smoking and who nave
lost their sight in action continue to
smoke for short while, but soon give
up the habit. They say that it gives
them no pleasure when they can not
see the smoke, and some have said that
they can not taste the smoke unless
they see it. This almost demonstrates
the theory that if you blindfold a
a man in a roomful of smoke and put a
lighted and unlighted cigar in his
mouth alternately he will not be able
to tell the difference.
