The United States tobacco journal
declares that the bicycle has caused
total reduction in the consumption
of cigars for the year of seven hun
dred million. The journal insists
that the decrease in the production
of cigars has kept pace with the IT,
crease in the production of the wheel
and since declares that the bicycle is
an enemy to the tobacco trade and
will hereafter be treated rs such.
While this little war between the
tobacconist and the bicyclers is going
on, we may congratulate ourselves

a million or more less vapors of

Not to be Trifled With.

From the Cincinnati Gazette
Will people never learn that "cold" is
an accident to be dreaded, and that when
it occurs treatment should be promptly
applied? There is no knowing where the
trouble will end; and while complete
recovery is the rule the exceptions are
terribly frequent, and thousands of fatal
illnesses occur every year, ushered in by
little injudicious exposure and SEEM
ingly trifiing symptoms. Beyond this,
there are to-day countless invalids who
can trace their complaints to "colds, "
which at the time of occurrence gave no
concern and were therefore neglected.
When troubled with cold use Cham

CHRIST AND CONQUEST.

In these days when the leading ma
tiOns of the world, in power and influ-
ence, are turning their eyes in ap-
parent helplessness toward the fero-
ciOus and unspeakable Turk and his
suffering victim, Christian Armenia,
il does seem as if the two words at the
head of this paragraph ought to form
an alliance. War fctween England
and America would be horrible; but
war by England and America against
these barbarOus MOhammedans, for
the glory of Christ and the defense of
his followers, would be honorable. But
what of the missionary? He stands
at his post while blood flows ali around
him. relying on the final triumph of
Christ over the most brutal human
nature. When the story of Turkey is
told in its fulness, new list of heroes
will adOrn the pages of history. All
hail, We defenders of the faith!

General Greeley's article in March
Ladies Home Journal upon '''fhe Per-
Sonal Side of Washington" will show
that Washington was largely influ-
enced by his environments, but also
that he steadily tended toward the
higher standards Of the present age,
especially as regards his habits and
ideals. OF the first election in which
he actively participated General Gree
ley writes: ''In his younger days Wash
ington extended at his first election
the usual poSt-election hospitality,
which, in those days, consisted in the
minimum amount of food with the
maximum amount Of spirits. We find
him paying an account for such an
entertainment for some four hundred
voters, where the account was three
shillings for food and thirty-seven for
liquors. The capacity Of the average
drinker may, perhaps, be placed at
three quarts at sitting, as derived
from his account, which covered one
hogsnead of punch, one barrel of
punch, forty gallons of punch, nine
bowls of punch, forty-five gallons of
wine and forty-seven gallons of beer.
Washington, who was not present
expressed his surprise at their modera-
ton, and wrote his agent that he
feared he had not been liberal enough,
and expressed the hope that he had
not neglected those who had voted
in the opposition. His reflective mind
and acute observation soon noted the
ravages made by drink, and doubtless
confirmed that personal moderation
which never permitted him to run
into excess of any kind. In the Pro
vincial army, when general harges of
drunkenness were made against the
Virginia troops, there was no word
against Washington personally. He
had, moreover, thus early deplored it
as serious vice, forbade il by strin-
gent orders, and applied a hundred
lashes 20 every man found drunk.
Still later he wrote that "Gin-shops
served to ruin the proprietor and
those who make the most frequent
application TO Them and in advising
his nephew he adds: "Refrain from
drink, which is a source of all evil and
the ruin of half the workmen of this
country"

Last week the senate passed a reSO-
luton recognizing the Cuban in
surgents as belligerents and declaring
our intention to maintain strict
neutrality between the contending
factions. This was followed by in
tense popular feeling on the part of
the Spanish people against the United
States, which resulted in Barcelona
on Saturday last in a riot during
which the American Consulate was
attacked and some damage inflicted.
The Spanish government, however,
very promptly disayowed the unfriend-
ly feeling and offered the United States
ample apology and reparation. 1t is
safe to say that there will be no war
between the United States and Spain.
In fact Spain has her hands full with
Cuba. To her credit be it said that
she made the dHendeN honorable much
more graciously than we did to Italy
after the New Orleans riots of some
years ago. The house of representa-
tives passed the resolution this, week.

Some men tumble into a fortune,
in which case they are not apt to value
their sudden riches. Easily gotten
wealth is easily diSSipated. When a

one so much values distinction as he
who earns it. Alone, in obscurity,
