POISONLESS CIGARS.

A Prominent Physicians Suggestion to
Get Rid of the Nicotine Successfully
Adopted-It Is Double Sweating
Process-Men Like the New Brand.
In the fertile brain of DR.. S. Weir Nit
chell was conceived some time since the
idea of an anti-nicotine cigar, which is
now in great demand among inveterate
smokers, says the Philadelphia Record
The illustrious neurologist numbers
among his patients many suffering from
nervous diseases, the result of excessive
smoking. To these he was wont to
say: ''You must give up smoking
altogether, if you wish to regain your
health" The patients demurred The doc
tor admitted it was rather hard, and began
to look about for some alternative plan.
He felt that if cigar could be manufact-
ured from which all or the greater por-
tion of the nicotine were extracted the
effect upon the smoker would be practically
harmless.
The idea was explained to a well-kmown
local manufacturer, who at once had the
cigars made after the plan suggested by DR..
Mitchell.
The VueIta Abaio tobacco, used for the
filler, and the Connecticut wrapper are
subject to what is termed the double re-
sweating" process The materials are
placed in steam room for four or five
hours, after which they are taken out and
subjected to a natural drying for a day or
two. This operation is thrice repeated,
after which the tobacco is considered prac-
ticallv free of nicotine.
Many prominent men have tabooed the
stronger brands for the new cigar without
prescription and through choice. The man
ufacturer estimates his sale for the first
three months at 1000 boxes.

improvements in different types of work;
how time and labor could be saved by
adopting this or that method. Their efforts
would raise the standard of labor. These

THE END OF AN EPOCH.
The Death OF Curtis and Whittier Leaves
Them Without Successors.

The Death OF Curtis and Whittier Leaves
Them without Successors.
Boston HeraId.l
The sudden, though not unexpected,
death of two men, who were the last Of
their generation in the lines of activity
which they followed, shows that we have
really come to the end of an epoch, or
rather of two epochs Mr.. Curtis was the
last of the great Lyceum force which did
much to prepare the way for the unattached
schools, which are now universal, and Mr..
Whittier was the last of our American poets
who belonged to our literature for this
century, He was the equal of his peers, and,
though DR.. Holmes survives, he Is not so
exclusively a poet that We can rank him
among the great poets of this century.
Both Mr.. Curtis and Mr.. Whittier repre-
sent the end of an epoch. They have been
chi efs and leaders in the department of
literary and public effort which they culti-
waited, and they have passed away without
leaving anv person who takes their places
The lecture field has come to an end. Its
legitimate function of agitation is better ac-
complished i'm another way, and in respect
of poetry it capnot be said that any Of our
younger writen command the attention OF
the nation as Lowell or Longfellow or
Whittier did.
We look in vain for the man whose
bugle notes are universally listened to.
Half dozen poets may be named, but they
have not the clear and universal utterance
which introduces them to national fame.
It is in this sense that the departure of these
two men is to be regarded as the end Of an
epoch. They are without SUCCESSORS, and
We are compelled to look out on the future
from different point of view. Who shall
forecast what the leadership shall be In the

In the Eastern States Perhaps this is in
measure due to the fact that the head of the

they are conducting an active literary cam
