els cigarette smoking harmful?"
This question has been asked again
and again, but until now has never
been satisfactorily answered. The pop
uiar verdict has been that in consc-
quence of the ''burning' properties of
the paper. Of which cigarettes are part
ly made. the habit is harmful, but from
facts recently gathered it would seem
that it is more than harmful, it is dan
gerous. The danger does not lie in the
''burning' properties of the paper.
however, but in the inferior quality of
the tobacco and the drugs which are
used to flavor the same. These drugs
are nearly all poisonous, and many of
them are deadly in their effects
Cigarette paper is the purest paper
made and the supposition that therein
lies the harm to the smoker is non
sense. The claim that it is rice paper,
however. is not true, for there is no
such thing as rice paper. The so-called
product that comes from China is Sim
ply the white pith of a plant cut in
slices. Cigarette paper is made from
rags. The best of it comes from France
and is manufactured of the cuttings of
new linen from the markings of shirts
and other garments. which is one Of
Belgium's greatest industries. Cuban
cigarettes are wrapped in paper made
in Spain out of all sorts of cotton rags.
1t piece of cigarette paper be set on
hire it will burn to a white ash without
smell or taste, which tells more and bet
ter than anything else can do abo ut it's
purity.
The tobacco in the cigarette. instead
of being the prime growth claimed for
it, must be just the reverse, else the
manufacturers would lose thousands of
dollars annually instead of amassing
the fortunes they do. There is as much
tobacco, in weight, in ten cent pack
age of cigarettes as there is in four
moderate-sized cigars, but, as every
smoker knows, a passably good cigar
cannot be bought for two and a-half
cents. Again, cigarette making neces-
states the use of most expensive ma
chinery. So what does the ingenious
cigarette maker do? Go to a cigarette
factory and watch them-but stop! The
cigarette manufacturers will not per-
nit visitors to go through their facto-
ries. They buy cheap material; give
it pleasant odor with essential oils, a
certain amount of glycerine to keep the
tobacco moist and such quantity of
special drugs rs may be calculated to
pleasantly soothe the nerves of the
smoker. 1t is the glycerine which.
when burned, turns to acroleine and,
irritating the throat of the smoker,
causes a cough.
According to dealers in the weed all
cigarettes made, except those intended

THE ANGRY BOY.

He has taken his toys and gone home,
And refuses to play any more:
The jack-in-the-box, and the little tin dog,
And the cart that rolled over the floor;
He is pouting, and thinks he's aggrieved,
But truly. what vexes him most
Is to feel tbs himself who is wrong,
In spite Of his home-going boast.
He has taken his toys and gone home.
And refuses to play any more:
Inc old Noah'S ark, with its windows cross

He has flung by the half-opened door:

And piled them along on the shelf,
And martyr.likc, there on his chair,

He has taken his toys and gone home,
And refuses to play any more:
His quaint wooden soldiers with swords in

And the rel uniforms that they wore,
Are gloomily standing in line,
And hushcd is the rub-a-dub drum
While their juvenile captain near by
Is valiantly chewing his thumb.
He has taken his toys and gone home,
And refuses to play any more;

Figures Which Contain Little Comfort
for ProhibitiOnists.

Figures Which Contain Little Comfort
for Prohibitionists.
The figures of the consumption of
malt and spirituous liquors are far from
encouraging to the prohibitionists,
though not necessarily confirmative of
the assertion of alarmists that drunk
enness is on the increase. The statis-
teal abstract of the United States
shows that 66, l20, 55S gallons Of ardent
spirits were consumed in 1875 and o.
157, 565 in 1891. During the same period
the population increased from ~, OOO,-
600 to 64.O00,00O, SO that the ratio of
1.5o gallons in 1873 was reduced to AZ
in 1891. From this it is seen that the
per capita consumption of ardent liquor
has decreased. In 1875 wine was con-
sumed to the amount of l2,954, 96l gal
Ions, and in 1899 it had increased to 20, :
100000 gallons. showing that the per
capita use of wine had increased from
80 to As gallon. But if wine increased
little malt liquors jumped. The 294,-
953, l57 gallons in 1875 became 81, 49,
76l in 1891, and the per capita of GIL
became 1925.
There is cold comfort in these figures
for the prohibitionist. for they indicate
such large number Of consumers that
prohibition is impossible, but the tenn
perance advocate need not necessarily
be discouraged 1t is evident that the
drinking of ardent spirits, the worst
form of the liquor habit, is not keep
| ing pace with the increase in the pop
ulation, though this may be due to the
fact that such large proportion of
| immigrants do not drink spirits
If the exact figures of this could be
had they might possibly show that the
per capita of consumption of ardent
spirits among the native-born citizens
was holding it's own. The smallness OF
the decrease suggests this conclusion.
The great increase in the consumption
of malt liquors is undoubtedly due to
immI grafton primarily. and secondarily
to the substitution Of beer for whisky
| by those who formerly drank the more
Intoxicating liquor. 1t must be admit
ted that these figures do not settle the
| question whether or not drunkenness
is on the increase. 1t is evident that
each person could drink the per capita
allowance of spirits wine and beer and
very few drunken people be the result
The question to be determined is how
many drink their own allowance and
that of half dozen others as WE'LL II
the per capita consumption increases
and the drinkers decrease in number
then drunkenness. increases; on the
contrary, the more persons among
whom the consumption is divided. the
less will be those who drink to excess.
1t is evident that these figures settle
but one point. and that is that the pos.
sibilities for prohibition are progress.
