The tobacco in the cigarette, instead
1t, 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 cigarette
factory and watch them-but stop. The
cigarette manufacturers will not per-
nit visitors to go through their facto-
ries. They buy a cheap material; give
it a pleasant odor with essential oils, a
certain amount of glycerine to keep the
tobacco moist, and such quantity of
special drugs as 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
for Spanish countries, are dragged.
Many of the brands are so heavily
dosed as to be positively dangerous.
The drug is applied in solution by
means of the atomi2cr, and includes in

isficd with any other Opium is the drug
most favored in cigarette making and
it is because of the use of these poison
Gus and deadly ingredients that the
doors of the big factories are closed
against visitors.
The tremendous rate at which the
consumption of tobacco in this form is
growing is had in the internal revenue
report just published. This places the
number of cigarettes made at 3,000,-
600. 900, or more than forty-four cigar
cites for every man, woman and child
in the country. This is an increase of
214,ii0, 900 over the previous year, and
does not include the thousands made
by individual smokers, who buy the
paper and tobacco separately and roll
their own cigarettes.
Where seven years ago one cigarette
was consumed to-day there are three.
Very few-perhaps not l00,00 pack
ages-are imported from Turkey, Rus

Some Observations that Apply Particularly
to the Maidens of Washington state.
1t used to be said that there were two
things which II woman could not do;
one was to run, the other to throw
stone. Up to the last century she had
not learned to do the latter feat, but al
the former she was an adept. Those
who doubt may be convinced if some

these occasions they will be tolcrably
sure to see some OF the prettiest sprint

ping, with head well up, shoulders well
back and never a trace of waddlc. The
observer feels that the fair creature is
dressed in shoes and garments that do
not pinch, and when she takes her seat
in the car, breathing as gently as u
baby, he is apt, in his years number a
couple of score or more, to sigh inward

TOO BIG A JOB.
This Rumselier Tried to Drink with
Every Patron and Failed.


Grog shops have become SO numerous
all over town that many of their bosses
are at their wits ends to make both
ends meet. Several have adopted
unique methods to attract thirsty Gus
toners, and of two that started out on
new lines one failed owing to its own
er's lack of capacity and the other
proved so successful that owners of
neighboring dram shops are green with
jealousy. The successful shop is in
Park row, but short step from the
bridge, and AZ no time, night or day,
Sunday or week day, is it not iammcd
with "a rumsodden rabble.
There one may buy more than q
quart of beer for nickel, OF course,
it is poor stuff, but the ragged, filthy

1t is served in glasses the like of which
were never before seen in drinking
place in this or any other town. They
look exactly like the small globes in
which goldfish are often kept. Each
will hold as much as three common
glasses and as much as ten of the Coney
island kind. Although thirsts like the
sands of Sahara prevail in the place not
one of the owners has been able to
empty one of the globes at the first
pull.
The drinking place in which p new
idea failed is in Pearl street. But had
its owner been blessed with the thirst
and capacity of any one CT the frowsy
frequenters of the slop house in Park
row he would have pulled out all right.
A fortnight or so ago he stuck up IN his
place a lot of cards announcing that for
every drink of any kind Il customer
bought he would treat and drink with
the buyer. He kept his word and did
land-office business for about week,
but had to be carried home each night.
He could not stand the pace. No more

- This question has been asked again

been satisfactorily answered. The pop

qucncc of the burning" properties of

facts recently gathered it would seem
that il is more than harmful. it is dan

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 nom
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
rays. 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
Eclgium's greatest industries. Cuban
cigarettes are wrapped in paper made
in Spain ont of all sorts of cotton rags.
If a piece of cigarette paper be set on
fire it will burn 10 a white ash without
smell or taste, which tells more and bet

purity.

If you happen to see very long,

The Wooster street bird fancier, who
raises canaries for fun and makes shoe
makers tools for a living, has just re-
ceived two of these birds from friend
upon his solemn promise that they shall
never see the inside of professional
bird fancier's shop. The Belgian canary
has no great reputation or popularity

sort of bird lie is the dude of the
canary family. His color is anything
from golden yellow, with grecnish-
brown touches, to pale tint that is al
most white. The palest birds are liable
| to disease and seldom are strong. The
largest Belgians measure eight inches,
and the most slender can be passed
through a large finger ring. 1t is the
dude-lille languor and elegance of the
Belgian that has given him reputa-
ton, for he is hardly SO good a singer

and his wife have highly improper
notions as to parental duty. They

that he is the product of decaying
