The Tobacco Habit.

As in the case with whisky and
coffee, tobacco is not dangerous to
health if used in moderation. 1t is,
however, unhealthy for growing boy
to smoke tobacco if his father catches
him at it.
The man who swore off smoking
tobacco and didn't think he had
broken his promise when he smoked
scent cigars was a chap of pretty
good Judgment.
Talk about your cigarette smoking.
Here is man over in Connecticut,
who has just died, that smoked over
1000 herrings day. 1t was his bust
ness.
There is a growing conviction in
the minds of smokers generally that
fellows vest pocket ought TO be
made deep enough to entirely hide a
cigar from the scrutinizing gaze OF
the man who never has one.
There are half a million men in
this country who daily enter a cigar
store and ask: Have you a good
cigar?" And not one of them has
ever found a tobacconist honest
enough to reply in the negative

of a piece of plug tobacco and shot it

forcihle Illustration of the evil effects
Of tobacco on the system.
We frequently notice lengthy az
ticles in the papers warning the peo-
pie Of the evil effects of tobacco and
whisky. One reason why these warn
ings do not produce the desired effect
is that in every community there is
at least one man who neither uses
tobacco nor drinks Intoxicating liq-
uors. but who is utterly useless
1t is also alleged that smoking is
the prolific source of cancer: but a
few years ago John Roach. the ship
builder, died of the same cancerous
affection at the root of the tongue
that killed Gen. Grant, yet he never
smoked in his life. Mr.. Roach should
always be remembered gratefully BY
the numerous old smokers who have
had Grants case so frequently thrown
up to them.-Exchange-

Formic Acid for Foul BROOD.

Gleanings in Bee Culture recon-
mends the use Of formic acid as an an
tiseptic in the beehive. This acid is
an excellent antiseptic Thanks to it,
honey preserves itself for along time.
There has been found in Dresden hon.
ey under the caves of house that Is
supposed to date back to the fifteenth
century. This age is only gUess-work,
and is undoubtedly a mistake. Mice
or other vermin would estroy honey
long before that time. The slangy
word rats" appears to apply to such
a statement But form acid diluted
with water and placed in the hivea.is
used In Europe to prevent the growth
of foul brood. This formic acid is not
taken from fruits or flowers. but is a
natural product generated In the bee.
It is also found still more plentifnlly
In ants, and the word derives it's name
from them. 1t is the odor OF formic
acid which is given Off when either
bees or ants are crushed. 1t Is said to
make bees cross to crush any Of their
number, which Is natural enough,
without supposing that the odor of
formic acid has anything to do with it.
