This would be a great Improvement. 1t

The Cigarette Evil.


The Cigarette EVIL.
EDS. RECORD UNION: Feeling deeply
the necessity which exists for warning
the youth of California of the dangers and
pitfalls in their way, this letter is ad-
dressed to all dear readers. 1t is probable
that in no other state are there so many
dangers surrounding the Young and un-
wary feet as in our own loved common
wealth. 1t is an imperative necessity
that every means should be used to warn
and protect the children, especially the
boys. On every hand We see the thin,
half-developed boys and young men un-
naturally short in stature, narrow
chested, lacking in lung capacity, in
strength for active mental or physical
work, with even the breath smelling of
tobacco.
Look at the irritable, nervous systems
and at the brain, heart and stomach fail
ures, and even the cancerouS diseases of
the mouth and throat, which result from
the use OF tobacco; its use forms chain
lar harder to break than chain OF iron.
Parents themselves are beginning to
understand the full meaning of the evils
OF the tobacco habit that is fastened by
inheritance and custom. upon the children
and youth of our country.
But do we, as parents, yet fully realize
this danger? No, for ii we did we would
sound the alarm from the worry housetops.
The fearful consequences Of this cigarette
evil have never been fully realized;
neither has the warfare against this evil
been waged in genuine earnestness. We
have made child's play in our efforts to
tight the cigarette habits. We allow pit
falls OF danger TO be dug at our very
doors; allow by both law and custom pro-
tectod temptations 10 be rife on every
hand, equipped to ensuare the unwary
feet Of innocent trusting childhood.
What would l recommend? That we
remove the pitfalls and the snares from
childhood's paths. We deplore the
cigarette evil and watch the daily pro-
gress of the child smoker; see idiocy and
death rapidly taking possession of his
body. mind and soul. Then what next?
SO, sisters, you who are mothers; and
brothers, you who are fathers, let US in
the coming year take hold of the cigarette
question in manner that shall be at
once earnest, practical and consistent
with common sense.
Cigarette users will herd together and
as the worst boys use il, those who are
not classed with them easily become so;
being found in bad company they are
often led to the use OF Intoxicating drink
by these evil associates.

The constant consumption by the

standard authors in ever more at

and illustration is proof of the ulti-
mate soundness of the public taste.
Our leading publishers of the con-
sentative class are continually bring

emit STYLES of manufacture, the books
of their best writer's, thus tending
both to create and to supply the de-
mand for the choicest literature
which all should delight in fostering.
Publishers who neglect this perma-
nent mine CT lrotit, and are contin.
ually on the alert for the newest
hooks, often find such enterprises
more productive of experience than
of pecuniary profit. The publisher
who is ever eager for IA great hit'

1t is the melancholy fate OF most
writers to survive their W literary

the evils OF that eagerness to be seen

there was a tunic or chemise, with
head and feet bare. Further down
the coast a calico skirt and waist
were thrown over the tunic, and
shoes were worn. At Bahia a light

blacks. With education, respectable
employment, and social equality, the
dress of the negroes and mulattoes
changes, until it is hardly distinguish
able from that of the native Brazil
ians and Portuguese. A black who
has risen above the level Of his race
is scrupulously careful Ito initiate in
detail the costume Of his equal, the
Portuguese white. He wears ordi-

broadclOth cutaway coat of black, and

blacks in Bahia are superior to any
other negroes whom l have yet seen
in Brazil. The women who hawk
fish or %pineapples in the streets are
marvels of physical development and
grace. and they walk like Greek god
desses. With purple, pink or blue
b1dices, cut low in the neck, they
display arms of the finest modelling,

Writing TO the Oueen.

The paper on which letters to
Queen Victoria are written must not
be folded. No commun cation which
bears evidence of having been creased
will v fall into her Majesty's own
hands. The proper methods is to
write on thick, glossy white paper,
and to d 'spatch the missive in an en-
velope which fits it. Any folded
communication never reaches the
Queen, for the simple reason that
she won't look at it. All such letters
are opened by the mistress Of the
robes, and as a rule their contents
never get beyond her, or, if the letter
is of importance, it is returned to the
writer with directions how to forward

brazilian Fashions.

If each coast town has its charac-
teristic colony, so also each has its own
fashions of dress for the swarming
black population. l have noticed a
process of evolution in the costume
as l have come down from the equa-
tor. The negro children at Para and
Maranhao were stark naked. At
Pernambuco and Bahia they have
calico dresses. The men began with
a pair of trunks or short trousers,
without hat, shoes, shirt, or coat; at
Maranhao they added a loose fitting
shirt, tapping over the trousers; at
Pernambuco a ragged coat went over
the shirt, and a torn hat covered the
head. and at Bahia shoes and stock
ings almost complete the costume Of
a negro laborer. Only the waistcoat
remains to be provided, and perhaps
l may lind that at Rio The costume
of women has been developed in the

another day he counted them with

"Why do you give me only eleven

name IS not so supple on the lips as
the soft pet names given to the
sirens of mythology. The dugong
forms tho connecting link between
the real whsle and the seals and wal

has no hind feet, but a powerful hor-
izontal tail. Its interior extreMi-
ties are more hexibiy jointed than
those of the whale, and this is a dis
tinguished characteristic between
the two animals. The dugong Is said
to have attained a length of twenty
feet. but the usual length is from
eight to twelve feet. In appearance
the animal resembles the sea COW.
Its upper lip is large, thicE, and

swimming with the other, holding
theiheads of both above water, and,
when disturbed, suddenly diving and
displaying her tish-like tail-these,
together with her habitual demon
strations of strong maternal aflec-
