A tobacco dealer says: There has been
a great deal said about the harmfulness
of cigarettes, and certainly they are in
jurious to young boys or to men if
smoked in excess; but most of those who
attack the cigarette habit have very hit
tie idea Of what they are talking about.
1t should be remembered that the great
est smokers in the world-the Spaniards,
tho Cubans, Spanish-Americans and the
Russians-use cigarettes far more freely
than cigars, and none Of these nations
can be called unhealthy. People talk
about the righteousness Of the paper. but

cite smoking injurious is the fact that
the smoke Is not retained IN the mouth
and throat, but is taken into the lungs.

ONE HUNDRED YEAPS AGO.

Work Performed by Women During tho
Eighteenth Century.
The scarcity Of domestic relics at the
Guelph exhibition left many visitors
under the impression that aeedlework,
like all manual occupation. was much
neglected by the ladies OF the Georgian
era.
Happily this irnputation is clearly re-
futed by sweet Cowpcr, witty DIR.

all agreed In their praises Of the needle,
SO inspired were they by the astounding
quantity of every kind Of work executed
by their acqnaintances.
Who is not familiar, too, with the ca
pacious work bags of orr great grand
mothers. as well es with their quaint
samplers and pictures embroidered in u
f2t style, which contrast greatly with
the raised ard complicated productions
OF the needle during the reign OF the
Stuarss? The example of women's &C.
tivity came, as usual. from high quar-
ters.
We read with no little amaxement Of
the prodigious number OF tapestry
chairs worked by the Electress Sophia,
mother Of George l., who left tokens Of
her niInble fingers to palaces, converts
and churches all over the country,
which did not prevent this gifted

The curious and suggestive phencm-
enon of the fall of solar protubcr-
ance into sun spot has been recently
reported by NJ. 'yrouvelot, the French
astronomer. he was enabled to OBJ
serve this fall very distinctly. The sun
spot in which the protuberancc was
lost was very quiet, giving not tho
slightest evidence of any volcanic erup-
tions going on. There are in or near n
sun spot usually jets Of incandesccnt
matter, frequently thrown up to great
heights, but this voracious spot which
swallowed Up the protubcrance in
question was In almost entire repose
NJ. Trsuvelot hints that the most prob
able explanation of this most mys.eri-

spots which arc in slate Of rcpose ex-

certain protuberances- These solar

VIII, Albinos DO Not See We'll.

According to DIR. A. D. Williams, the
white, faxen hair of Albinos shows that
there IS deficiency Of coloring materials
in their bodies. Further proof of this fact
is found in the absence OF the necessary
amount OF pigment in their eyes. Such per
sons have pink eyes because there is not
pigment enough in the iris and upon its
posterior surface to prevent the red reflex
OF the the fundus from shining through the
iris. Albinos are always greatly annoyed
by strong hight, because there is not suffi-
Gent coloriug to prevent the ingress of 8
flood of il, the bright glare entering not
only through the pupil, but through the
substance of the iris as well.
The choroid being likewise deficientsin
pigment, the excessive amount of lighti
dazzles and greatly confuses the vision.
Furthermore, the deficiency of pigments
in the choroid prevents the light after it
has acted on the retina from being alb
sorbed, that being the main function of,
the choroidal pigment. Albinism is an}
unfortunate condition, as there is no way
to supply the deficient pigment 10 the iris
and choroid.-St. Louis Republic

This will not occasion any very great sur

he would not lose Il dollar of his usual sal

would pose as models of innocence and

The statement comes from q high source
that at the next regular meeting Of the
Western traffic association advisory board
the reinstatement Of the deposed traffic
manager Of the Missouri Pacific railway
will be recommended by one of the presi-
dents who is not connected with the Mis-

President Cable of the Rock Island, is the
man who will rise in the meeting
and move that the reinstatement
of Traffic Manager Leeds be recommended

Gable will argue that Mr.. Leeds has been

character that all who come in contact with
him cannot help but admire. How Mr..
