Cynical Sentiments as to Its Uses and
Abuses and Its Enemies,
Public sentiment is not unanimous in

bacco. Everybody who saw the body of
negro upon whom hogshead of to-
bacco fell from the third story Of New
Orleans warehouse conceded that to-
bacco taken in large quantities is in

Tobacco is said by some to have de-
moralizing effect An Indiana man
taught his dog, very fine setter, to
chew tobacco Now the dog comes into
the house by the back door, never scrapes
his feet on the mat, never goes to church,
is careless at his meals, gets burs in his
tail, goes with lower grade of dogs
and is beginning to take an interest IN
politics.
A goat, it is we'll known, is fond OF
tobacco, but he freely gives away his
butts.
All kinds of troubles and complica-
tions are ascribed to tobacco. 1t is said
to cause tobacco blindness. Still we

Ladies generally object to smoking,
but it takes an old smoker to get up on

Hawthorne, observing Englishmen in

Cold In the Head.

Colds in the head become prevalent
with the approach of winter. People
often ask how these troublesome COM
plants may be prevented. Probably the
only satisfactory way of warding of
these ailments is to maintain high
standard of ones health, and to this
general axiom l would certainly add
that we should endeavor to avoid heated
rooms and foul air and to brace our
lungs up as much as possible by free
ventilation and outdoor exercise. When
a cold in the head seizes you, camphor
is a good remedy. Try camphor in
halation. A teaspoofnul Of powdered
camphor is added to jug Of boiling
water, or put into an inhaler, and the
steam is inhaled through the nose fcc
five or ten minutes at time. This in
halation may be repeated every four or
five hours but the patient must keep
the house, and remain in an even tenn
perature when so treating his or her
case. A few drops of spirits of camphor
taken on piece of sugar are also recon-
mended. New York Dispatch.

it would be rude to change the CONVEX

Had Things All Arranged, but Had to 40
cept a Compromise.
John Duross is young and enterpr1s-
ing commission man of Pittsburg. No
one ever accused him of being eccentric
until recently. John is a popular fellow
with the gentler sex, but until few
weeks ago had withstood all their blan-
dishments. Finally, however, he ao-
knowledged himself whipped and pro-
posed This is the way he did it.
He bought house and lot one morn
ing, and in the afternoon took the fu-
ture Mrs. Duross for drive.

he said as the smokestacks of the smok-

"Well, " responded the young lady,

and pout
"You must and shall say Yes. Now,

go down town together tomorrow and
get the roosts and tubs and things that
belong to cages.
"Why, Mr. Durossl Really, you as

Instead, John whipped up and drove
farther away from the stacks.

OLD HlcKoRYs WAYS.

Two Characteristic Stories of Jackson's
Bluntness When He Was President.
General Armstrong, assistant COM
missioner of Indian affairs, thinks that
Andrew Jackson was one of the greatest
men this country ever produced and
has number of stories which were told
him by his uncle, who was an intimate
friend of Old Hickory. One of them is
very characteristic of the man.
Lewis Cass, secretary of war, was
over at the White House one day with
some important papers for the president
to sign, among them being a court mar
tial findings
'Cass, what is this?'' inquired Jack
son as he was about to write his name
to the document.
"It is a court martial" answered
Cass.
"What have 1 to do with it?'' asked
the president.
ut dismisses an officer from the serv-
ice, and the president must sign such or
ders +"
Jackson toyed with the paper aud
said musingly: "Dismisses him from
the army, Ell? Why2"
Drunkenness; getting drunk and
falling down on parade or something Of
that kind, . answered the secretary.
"Who ordered the court?" asked jack
son.
General Scott, - answered Cass.
"Who is it?" inquired the president
with more interest.
Inspector General Kraun," replied
Cass
"Whatr' shouted Jackson. my old
friend Kraun Cass, just read what
that paper says. Z"
The secretary read the usual form of
the court martial sentence in such cases.
The president then took the paper and
wrote across the bottom where he was
about to sign his name:
The within findings are disapprov-
ed, and Colonel Kraun is restored to
his duty and rank. "
He passed the paper back to Secreta-
ry Cass and said, with his usual vehe-
mence:
by the Eternal, Cass, when you and
Scott serve your country as well as that

A young man from Tennessee, son Of
a friend of General Jackson's, came to
Washington for place, he looked
about and found what he wanted. It
was in the war department and filled
by very efficient Wing, whom Secre-
tary Cass would not remove. The young
man told jackson the situation, and
Cass was sent for
"Cass, said the president "this
young man, son of my old friend, says
you have got place in the war depart
ment filed by Wing which you won't
give him. -
Secretary Cass explained that the
duties of the Office We're of a peculiar
kind, and he could get no one to fill the
place if the man now in it should be re-
