SmoI,eless Cirarettes

An inventor is said to be hard at work
over the production of ''smokeless ciga-
rette." The idea is of course taken from
the ''smokeless powder" which is an es-
tablished success, but then it seems to be
forgotten by the discoverer in question
that the latter kind of munition of war was
urgently required by the military leaders
of Europe, whereas there is no appreciable
demand for smokeless cigarettes rather
the contrary. If there is one form of tobac-
co which, as far as the smell of the smoke
is concerned, is comparatively unobjection-
able, it surely is the little paper roll of fine
Turkish or Egyptian which sometimes finds
place even between ladies' lips and is not
tabooed in most drawing rooms. A smoke
less pipe or cigar would be good deal
more to the purpose. 1t is difficult to see
exactly on what lines the inventor hopes to
construct his novelty
Smokeless chimneys are chimneys artful-
ly constructed so as to consume their own
carbon, but is it proposed that a smoke con-
suming apparatus should be fitted up inside
the mouth of every patron of cigarettes?
1t might perhaps be possible to arrange
chamber for this purpose in new form Of
mouIHplece, uuC tne nOluer would neceS-
sarily be made heavy and unsightly, and
besides there would be the fatal objection
to which we have already referred that the
object of smoking is to enable the smoke to
get into the mouth, and that no smoker
worthy Of the name would Hillingly deprive
himself of this part of his enjoyment. A
smokeless cigarette would be something
like tasteless turkey or savorless saus-
age-a monstrosity at this season - Ex-
change.

whisky Is q Fair Foe.

The following, from the editorial col
umns of the Washington Daily News, is
one Of the best temperance lectures ever
written
Severe things are said of whisky, and
a great many of them are deserved. but
it would be well to do justice even to
whisky. It's described as deceiver, as
tempter. Whisky is eminently fair
and above board and uses no deceit. II
posts its warnings everywhere, and it is
mans fault if he doesn't profit by them.
Wherever you see rags, squalor, wretch
edness, you have encountered one Of
whisky's warnings; when you visit the
pauper's corner of the graveyard and
look upon the nameless mounds, you find
them there. Whisky is fair; whisky
hangs its banners on the outer walls;
whisky fauRts its emblematic skull and
crossbones In the broad light of day Do
whisky justice.
The man who wrestles with whisky
will be downed. No matter how strong
he may be or how many tricks of the
Graco-Roman contest he may know,
sooner or later his shoulders will go to
the floor, and the referee will award the
diamond belt to whisky. But whisky
wrestles fair; it does not gouge; it does
not strangle; it simply crushes its vic.
tim by superior weight.
Moral not wrestle with whisky.

Men Without Friends.

In September of 1880 the steamer Tiogs
was blown up at the Washington street
bridge in the Chicago river The explosion
was caused by a dozen barrels of naphtha
stored in the hold of the vessel They were
being shipped under false name to escape
heavy freight charges. Not knowing the
contents Of the barrels an officer of the
steamer visited the hold with lantern. A
leakage had occurred shortly after the
stowage Of the barrels, and the lighted Ian
tern set flame to the gas. The explosion
was terrific, and as a result 30 men lost
their lives. The remains of all these men
were taken out Of the river burned, black.
ened and muddy, and inquests were held
next day. Eighteen remained unidentified
and were removed to the morgue for q
short period. Later the remains were
turned over to the medical colleges for use
in the dissecting room. Several years have
passed since that time, and no one has ever
inquired after the remains of these men.
In looking up the record not long ago
found the list of 90 and began to look up
the facts in the case again. found that Ii
parties had visited the morgue after the in.
quest and picked out their friends. Even
these II had great difficulty in distinguish
ing the bodies, and many were uncertain
after they had removed and buried the dead
that they had secured the right body. But
the remaining is remained even uncalled
for. We had full list of the names of the
dead. We struck out the name of every
body identified and then published the un.
identified list No one ever called for them.
It's impossible to believe that is men in
one boat had changed their names. No,
they were simply homeless and friendless.--

Defining tho Khedive's Position.

The only difficulty in regard to true
comprehension of his position by the young
khedive lies in the fact that it is not correct
to say that the khedive is either real or
nominal ruler in Egypt. He is something
Of both, and how much or how little he
partakes of the one or the other has never
been laid down in black and white. The
limitations placed on the power of the khe-
dive are Of two kinds-first, those that
are imposed by the European powers as a
whole, and next those imposed by England
by virtue of her military occupation of the
Nile valley The limitations imposed by
Europe as whole have chiefly to do with
the financial position and with the legal
rights of resident foreigners, and these are
for the most part well ascertained and are
acted upon every day.
Those imposed by England are, on the
other hand, general in character and are
seldom acted upon. Indeed they are as far
as possible kept out of sight and not al
luded to. For all that, however, they are
perfectly real and perfectly admit of being
expressed and acted upon when necessary
Thus the khedive is only his own master
when he does not infringe the limits set by
the powers and by England. What are
these limits set by England? They are that
the khedive shall govern his country well
and reasonably and shall not imperil the
welfare of his dominions by any act of mis-
government. But this answer of course
suggests another question.
Who is to be judge whether an act by the
khedive imperils the welfare of his domin-
ions? In all matters, except those cs the
first importance, the khedive. In matters
of moment, the British government. In
other words, the British government does
not interfere except in the last resort, but
when they do interfere they say the final
word. d.-London Spectator.

Foes Of the Human Brain.

Sleep is the indispensable rest Of the
brain, during which it RECEIVERS the sub
stance lost by the wear of the day and
gathers up strength. Good sleep is the
fundamental requirement for brain
health. Every nerve stimulant and, on
the other hand, all substances that pro.
duee artificial sleep are nerve poisons
and are to be condemned by healthy
nerve hygiene. The worst foes Of the
human brain are alcohol, morphia, ether,
cocaine and the like. Their use is never
justified except very temporarily as med
icine or in order to allay the pain and
