CURE OF THE TOBACCO HaelT,

This Young Fan Relieved IIis Cravings
By Smoking Common Mullen.
One OF the Shore Line trains wa COM
ing up from New York, says the Bos-
ton Herald. y young man entered the
smoiiing car ut New Londcn, pulled n
book from his grip and II Il. ID. from his
pocket, filled the Il. D., lighted it and
settled comfortably into his seat Tor the
journey.
Pretty soon n pleasant aromatic odor
began to prcvade the car in his vicinity.
1t had Il suggestion of cubcbs. but was
not cubcbs. There was u hint of sweet
fern, yet it was different.
Inc drummcrs who were PLAYING
whist IN the opposite seats smiled the
air n looked about; so did the old
gentleman in tho seat in front of the
youth with the T. ID.
by md by the old gentleman turned
nround and said: II beg your pardon,
young man, but may / ask what you
nrc smolsing?"
Inc young man smiled. "I am try.
ing to break myself of smolSing," he
said. MY Sweetheart objects to tobuc-
co. She doesn't care how much l smoke
II let the great weed alone. Now YOU,
cHc sr'c'scr yocT-cif, know that the
principal pleasure of smollina. comes
from the habit of holding the pipe or
cigar in the mouth and seeing the
smoke curl away. 1t Is quite us much
that rs the narcotic effects OF the
nicotine.
Wen, then, have that pleasure in
smoking this substance. But that Is
not oil. While it has u very pleasant
taste and oder. burns freely. soothcs
the nerves nnd helps materially any
~rayvncss of the throat or bronchial
tubes, the peculiar thing about it is that
after smoking 1t n cigar or tobacco in
my form tastes SO badly that n man
positively can't smoke it. That's how
l am curing myself of smoking tobacco"
"But what Is the stuif?" asked the old
gentleman.
Nothing but common mullcin," re-
Piled II young man with u emile.

Their Number Far More Numerous
Than People Generally Imagine.
The number of opium fends, as
they are called, said professional
man, lis greater than most people
have any idea of, and seems to be
growing. It's a disease. When it gets
hold of anybody it seems next to inn
possible to make it let 60. know
plenty OF opium users, people who
use the drug in one form or another,
and the station houses and asylums
are full or those who have been pulled
down by it. Whisky is bad enough,
but as to effects by the side OF opium
all Intoxicating liquors amount to
nothing comparatively. because its
use is easily kept secret until the vic
tim of the habit is practically beyond
advice or help. A relative OF mine
keeps drug store uptown, and he
could tell tales concerning the use OF
this terrible drug that would make
your hair curl 50 tight you couldn't
get your eyes shut.
"The Chinese joints are but evi,
dence OF the last stages OF the disease
the lowest rounds of the ladder Of
human disgrace. The opium habit
thrives in the very highest ranks OF
society and comes down, permeatine
all classes excepting the working me.

with the disease than any other.

are prone to fall before the deadly

A WONDERFUL ART.

How the Japanese Gardeners Make
Miniature Gardens and Land
scapes. .sa ..
The Japanese horticulturist shows
wonderful patience, coupled with
what we practical Americans would
term ill-directed skill in his rare art OF
propagating miniature trees and vines,
says the St. Louis Republic. It is
well-known fact that both the Chinese
and Japanese are not satisfied unless.
they can MAIN and distort both ma
ture and art. This may be seen in the
outlandish cartoons which their
painters turn out as works of art and
in the deformed buildings fashioned by
their architects. But if either NAV be
SAID to excel In these unseemly prac.
tees 1T is surely the Japanese. I'm.
like the American and the European
gardener, who strains every nerve to
secure large and thrifty plants and
trees, the Jap loses sleep trying to de-
wise some plan that will deform, Grip
pie, and stunt the growth of his trees
and vines, and, as a general thing,
when they set their minds to do a
thing it is usually done. The Japan.
OoC e1lO VI LldhulS IllllldCure landscapes

Furguson, who was one among the
first of English adventures to visit
China and Japan, mentions the fact
that he saw at Canton "a boxe about
the bigness OF ladyes snuffe-box which
did contain a littyl dirt and sixteen
tiny littyl trees, foure OF which were in
full blow, the whole boxe, trees and
all, SO small that a man could put
them in hys mouth together"
Keampfer is also quoted as describ-
ing trio OF trees he saw in a box IL
inches broad, 4 inches long and s
inches deep, for which the owner ask
ed the traveller the modest sum of
$500. The three denizens OF the box

Toying their dWarfed existence. When
Lady Hester Wetherall visited the
royal palace at the Japanese capital
in 1886 she was shown a miniature
pine tree growing III a lady's silver
thlmble suspended by silken threads.
The tree Was a perfect forest monarch
IN miniature, its branches exhibiting
not less than fifty perfect little cones.

MILITARY RULE IN EUROPE.
War Is Considered Possible and
z Even Probable at Any Moment,

War Is Considered Possible and
{ Even Probable at Any Moment.
European civilization to-day is
based on the idea that war is not
only an imminent possibility, and a
great class in every country has
been trained to look upon blood shed
ing as its proper vocation. The great
prizes are reserved for soldiers; honors,
fame, position, and the monarch's fa-
vor go to the sons OF Mars. The mile
tary budget exceeds many times over
does it exceed-the appropriations
for public instructions. The SALARY OF
a colonel isearned by but few probes
sors, writes w. q. Thayerin the Forum.
The cost OF thepowder and shot vast
ed in Europe between any dawn and
dusk would probably pay the running
expenses Of ali her public hospitals.
In each government, whether it be
constitutional or autocratic, the army
may with truth be said to direct legis-
