TOBACCO SMOKE DIs1NFEors.
DR.. Norman Kerr Thinks 1t Has Some
Power for Good.
FROM the Westminster Gazette

From the Westminster Gazette.
Why one should associate a teetotaler
with hatred to tobacco would be difficult
to say; but one does, and that is why |
brought this matter under DR. Kerr's no.
tice. The inmates who had been great
smokers, or who had been in the habit of
chewing tobacco, had not been touched
by the epidemic. Nearly every man IN
the workhouse was or had been a smoker,
and the statistics Of the epidemic showed
that only SO men had been attacked, as
compared with 100 women.

asked.
at is not easy, nor is it wise, to reason
upon such a case without full knowledge
of the facts. II is very easy TO mistake

Of a man with whom smoking does not
disagree. A good deal depends on the
idiosyncrasy of the person who smokes.
II he cannot stand smoking well then it
may depress his heart action and enfeeble
his constitution. and so lessen the resist
ing power to throw off the infectious
germs. But, on broad, general grounds,
! am decidedly Of opinion, from my own
experience and observation, that tobacco
smoking other things being equal-does
give any one exposed TO infection a con
siderable amount ofimmunity. And then
smoking has disinfectant power on the
microbes themselves. The smoke being
retained in the mouth is sort of disin-
fecting filter through which the germs
have to pass and some Of them certainly
are destroyed, or at least deprived Of
their vitality.

AN ANTE-BURIAL RITE.
Lasoars Perform a Strange Ceremony
over a Dead Sailor.

From the Philadelphia Press.
In the dead room of the Medico-Chi-
rurgical hospital yesterday a strange and
dramatic ceremony took place. The occas-
ion was the observance of the last rites
and ceremonies by the crew of Lascars of
the steamship Lanark over the body OF
one of their shipments, who died at the
hospital yesterday.
The body had as usual been prepared
for the undertaken by the hospital staff
soon after death, and the body was re-
moved from the ward to the dead room.
AS soon as the steamship crew learned OF
the death of their countryman they all
presented themselves at the hospital and
asked to see the body
STRANGE SCENE
The scene that followed was an impress
sive one. The dimly lighted room the
still form lying upon the table, surrouu-
ded by dozen or more Of his sorrowing
people, with strange costumes, dark,
handsome features and pointed boards,
formed "A memorable picture. AS the men
stood with bowed heads and clasped
hands and muttered their prayers 10 AL
lah those who witnessed the scene, were
filled with emotions of respect and sor-
row for those strange people, far away
from their sunny tropical home, among
strangers
They requested bontiful supply Of
warm water and soap and twenty yards
of clean new linen This being provided
they revercntly removed 8the winding
sheet. Every time their hands came in
contact with the body they offered
prayer In concert
Then they removed their own shoes and
stockings and washed their feet and ears
and nostrils.
After this they began the ablution OF
NmsnrWs II. 4
over the head and face Of the dead man,
washing the nOstrils and ears carefully.
The entire body was thoroughly cleansed,
the men touching it lovingly and rever-
emily. The new linen having been pre-
pared by one Of their number and the body
having been dried, the sailors requested
another table, the one in use being thought
contaminated by the water This was
provided. The shroud was placed upon il
and sprinkled with camphor Then the
body was gently lifted and laid on the
shroud while all offered up prayers in
concert
CHRISTIANS CANNOT TOUCH.
1t was rapidly enveloped in the wind
ing sheet and strict instructions were
given in broken English and by signs TO
those Of the hospital STAFF present
not to touch it, The sailors then formed
in line, one, who seemed TO be the leader.
standing alone the others standing be-
hind in threes and tours. Turning their
faces to the east and raising their hands
above their heads they solemnly COM
mitted their comrade TO Allah's care. No
Christian can touch the body after per-
forming this rite, so the Lascars will
present themselves at the hospital again
this morning to place the body within
the coffin.
These men are Mohammedans, and the
majority Of them are of the first caste,
Buddhists. Some of their number are of
the second caste but they we're not per-
mitted to approach the body or take any
part in the ceremony.

Another slump in the market was the only
feature Of the day. Big receipts continuing,
and less demand at the controlling markets,
weighs down prices, and. as Violet puts it in

How long it will last remains to be seen by
future developments. 1t is expected that for

aesfnst their prospective consumption but
tbev are waiting TO buy at prices even lower
than the present decline. and it looks like
their auathetic attitude will be maintained as
long as the receipts continue as large as al
present.
The market is certainly Influenced almost
entirely by the volume of cotton coming into
sight, and Is likely to continue so until the
beginning of the new year. for there are many
who insist that the crop movement, until after
the new year, is rarely any indication Of the
production, and that it is natural and almost
certain that this crop has been marketed
more rapidly than any previous one. The
SINNERS. in the mean time. do not credit the
reports of a crop less than that of last year,
and consequently the market remains in
active.
The local market is influenced by the gen.
eraI situation, and business is exceedingly
dull. on Change, at the first call, at 10:3O
a. n. the market opened dull and unchanged
with no sales. At the regular midday call al
1 D. M, there was a decline of 1-1Sc. all

crease in the demand during the afternoon,
caused sales of 4St bales, though at prices
below the official quotations. The entire

The new Chittenden hotel, which was
