Danger in Smoking Rooms.


Remaining in closed rooms in which
smoke is sometimes so thick that
one cannot see is particularly to be
avoided by people who are subject to
weakness of the heart, even if they
do not smoke. DIR. Vallin has recited
before the Society of Medicine three
conclusive facts in this respect. One
told of young officer who had given
up the use Of tobacco three months
before, and who was overcome with
a suffocation similar TO angina after
having passed two or three nights in
his room where his friends had been
in the habit of coming to smoke.
The case recalls an epidemic of the
same disease observed by DIR. Gelin-
eau among some sailors who were
crowded in the hold Of a tramp
steamer. They were obliged during
a storm TO cover the hatchways and
smoked TO excess in order TO have
something 10 do. Even those who
themselves did not smoke were
stricken like tho others, for they had
inhaled the same poisonous air and
subjected themselves TO the action OF
nicotine upon the lungs. Jules Ro-
chard in Revue des Deux Mondes.

HOME At LAST.
She Had Looked Forward to Her visit
for Fifty Years.

She Had Looked Forward to Her Visit
for Fifty Years.
She was an odd looking little old
woman in a skinny and faded black
alpaca dress and a big, old fashioned
black straw bonnet with some limp
black feathers and faded ribbon ON
it. But her small and deeply wrin-
kled old face had a kindly look and
her blue eyes were as bright and
twinkling as the eyes of a child.
She talked to every person near
her on the train and the burden of it
all was that she was "going back
home"
"Jist think of it" she said in her
cracked, childish voice; 'it'll be fifty
years next May, the 10th day, sence 1
left my old home in New Hampshire,
an / amt never been back sence, an
here when / went away / reckoned
sure I'd git back once in four or five
years, anyhow, but l amt never
went until now, and it'll be fifty
years the 10th day of next May. l
was married ON the 9th an me an
Aaron, he's my husband, started for
the west the very next day.
"Aaron said / should come home
in two years, but our first baby was
born about that time an couldn't
come then, an somehow or other
there want no time after that when
could come. But / amt blamin
Aaron. He'd been willin fer me to
come if l could of got off. Aaron,
he's been back twice. 1t was easier
fer him to git away than fer me.
"Il find changesa La mel yes.
There's sl1asly any one left that
