lowing description OF the first chew of to-
bacco in Harper's Young People:
The boy said It was peculiar kind of to-
hacco, and was known as molasses tobacco,
because IL WAS so sweet The boy was him
self chewing vigorously on a large guild,
End launching the juice from his lips right
and left like grown person, and my boy
took as large bite as his benefsctor bade
him. lie found il rs sweet as he had been
told it WIS, and he acknowledged the apt
ness Of It's name of molusses tobacco. 1t
seemed 10 him golden opportunity 10 &c
quire noble habit on easy terms. He let
the guild rest IN his cheek, as ne had seen
men do, when he was not crushing it be
tween his teeth, and for some moments he
poled his plank up and down the canal boat
with a sense OF triumph that nothing
inarred.
suddenly the boat seemed to be going
round and round, and the sky wheeled
overhead. The sun was lodging about
strangely. Drops OF sweat burst from the
boys forehead; he let fall his pois and said
that he thought he would so home. The
fellow who gave him the tobacco began to
laugh and the other fellows 10 mock, but
my boy did not mind them. Somehow, he
did not know how, he got out OF the canal
boat and started homeward, but at every
step the ground rose as high as his knees
before him, and then, when he got his foot
high enough and began TO put it down, the
ground was not there.
He was deathly sick, and when he reached
home and showed himself, white and bag
gard. TO his frightened mother, he had
scarcely strength enough TO gasp out a
confession OF his attempt to retrieve the
family honor by learning to chew tobacco.
In another moment nature came to his re-
lief, and then ne fell into deep sleep which
lasted the whole afternoon, SO that it
seemed to him the next day when he woke
ap, glad 10 find himself alive, if not so very
lively.
Perhaps he had swallowed some of the
poisonous juice Of the tobacco; perhaps it
had acted upon his brain without that
His father made no very close inquiry into
the facts, and he did not forbid him the
use Of /ssbacco. 1t was not necessary: in
thas onet little experiment he had got
enough sf Whole lifetime.

Railroad Mems Protective Union.

AT meeting of the Railroad Mems Pro.
tective Union held yesterday afternoon it
was voted to call the attention of the MAINE
legislature to the fact that Maine has no law
by which a workman is protected in the case
OF an accident the fault of fellow workman,
and they will ask for the enactment Of the
Massachusetts law protecting employees
Ihey will also ask for the disseminating OF
the "trip" system. They hold that 70 hours
week day work, or 60 hours night work, is
all railroad man can stand with safety to
himseif or the public. They hold that pay
ment by the trip means that at times the men
must work an excessive length of time, and
that when man is tired out he is in no con-
dition to be trusted with the lives of others.
aud that public safety requires that the men
who have charge of trains should not under
ordinary circumstances work overtime.

Free VIII Offering Meeting.
Cycling Talk,

Prizes for photographs of bad roads have
been offered by the New York and Connecti-
cut divisions of the League. 1t might be
good idea for the Maine division to do like
wise, as that seems to be about the only way
to secure the desired pictures. Apropos of
road Improvement, very instructive and
interesting little book on the proper manner
of constructing and maintaining highways
is being distributed by the State League off,
cials.
Now that Maine has more than 200 men,
bers of the League, the officers of the divis-
Ion feel that the state should be represented
at the meeting of the National Assembly in
Washington, February 10th, to amend the
bylaws. The feeling seems to be that the
expenses of one delegate ought to be borne.
and that delegate should be given the prox-
les of the others. Chief Consul Breen has
appointed Mr.. Bates Torrey one of the dele
gates. and it is to be hoped he will be able to
attend the assembly.
The bicycle Insurance Company of WASH
ington, d. c., has been Incorporated. The
object will be to insure bicycles against theft
For an annual premium of SO the wheel will
be insured, and if stolen, and not recovered
Within thirty days. the company will pay
the amount of the policy. This scheme may
,, prove popular. More than one case OF this
kind of thieving has been known in this city.
Mr.. Bates Torrey is putting in some ear
nest work toward compiling Maine road
book. Circuiayrs have been sent to all the
local consuls in the state. also to many men,
bers of the League, asntng for information.
A number of replies are bei1 received, and
considerable interest manifesteSd. Such a
book is much needed, and there is a strong
probability that 1t will be issued.
Messrs. Elwell and Higgins have already
received two applications from parties who
desire to participate In the wheeling tour
around the world. The cost is now estimat.
ed at about $1,000.
Indications are that about 80 members of
the Wheel Club will go on the sleigh ride to
Coal Kiln Corner Tuesday evening. An
oyster supper and games of whist are an
nounced as the principal attractions at the
destination.
Mr.. w. W. Beckett of Welchville, Me-,
long a member of the Wheel Club, was in
