EFFECT OF TEA CIGARETTES.
They Give One n Sensation of ThickeninC
In the Head.

In the Head.
One of tho most injurious and danger
Gus Of new fashions is the tea cigarette.
That this is no empty, baselcss story Of
new craze is shown by the application
made last week to the commissioner of
internal revenue at Washington for per-
mission to manufacture tea cigarettes in
Michigan. The applicant was told that
to engage in such manufacture he must
comply with the law governing the
manufacturing of tobacco cigarettes, tea
being substitute for tobacco; that he
must register, give bond and 50 on, and
that the cigarettes, when made, must be
packed, stamped, branded and labeled,
exactly as the tobacco cigarettes, before
the government would sanction their re-
moval from the factory for sale.
Several descriptions Of the tea ciga-
rette have been printed, but these have
erred in the presumption that the tea
was taken as sold, rolled up in paper
and smoked. This would be practically
impossible, as the sharp edges Of the tea
would cut tho paper in all directions,
spoil the draft and render the cigarettes
unavoidable
To make the tea cigarette one takes a
grade of green tea which has but little
dust. being composed of unbroken leaf,
and dampens it carefully, just enough to
permit the leaves to be unrolled with
out being broken, and so as to be left
pliable and capable Of being stuffed in
the paper cylinder, while the dampness
Is not sufficient to stain the paper. Tho
cigarettes ara laid aside for u few days
and are then ready to be smoked.
The feeling Of II tea cigarette in tho
mouth is peculiar. The taste is not SO
d1sagreeable as might be supposed, but
the effect on the tyro is a sense Of thick.
ening in the head and a disposition to
take hold Of something or sit down. II
the beginner quits them, that settles it,
he will not try tea cigarettes again. If,
however, the smoker sits down and tries
a second cigarette. inhaling it deeply,
then the thickening feeling passes and
Is succeeded by one Of intense exhilara-
ton. The nerves are stimulated until
the smoker feels like flying, skirt dane
ing or doing something else entirely out
Of the common way. This stage lasts as
long as the smoke continues, which is
until the reaction Of the stomach sets in.
Words cannot describe the final effects
OF the tea cigarette The agony Of the
opium fiend is shadow to that of the
nauseated victim of the tea cigarette. ID
will be hours before food can be looked
at, yet tho first step toward a cure is

Philadelphia, failed last week for $50, 900.
John Lawson, known as the Terrible
Swede," last week at Memphis, Tenn,
broke the cycling record by making fifty
miles in 2 :16 :O3.
A rumor that Alphonso Rothschild
was dead threw the Paris bourse into fits
for few minutes last Friday, until they
found he really wasn't dead.

THE HORSELESS CARRIAGE.
The Perfect Vehicle viii Come Into Use
Slowly but Surely.

A little reflection will convince any
one that the use Of motorcycles, or, in
other words, horseless carriages, will
improve the roads. General NORM Of
France is authority for the statement
that the deterioration Of common roads,
except that which is caused by the
weather, is thirds due to the wear
Of horses feet and one third due to the
wheels of vehicles. This being the case,
if the same amount as usual continue
to - laid out upon the roads, and the
continual damage decrease two-thirds,
then the amount spent will go to in
creased and permanent Improvement,
and the roads will be ''as smooth as a
barn floor.
There are many questions to be
solved. many difficulties to be sur
mounted, before the unexceptionable
vehicle appears. 1t was long time be-
fore the difficulties Of making sewing
machines, revolvers, repeating rifles,
typewriters and typesetters were over.
come. Yet, examine themi 1t is all
plain and simple, and not at all marvel
GUS now, and we can hardly imagine
how any mechanic could spend years Of
time studying over such easy problems.
So it will be with the motorcycles. The
mountains of difficulty will sink into
molehills, and the ingenuity displayed
will be found to take the form Of judi
cious application of ordinary mechanic
al appliances, approved by the final
umpire, the common sense Of mankind.
Those who build automobiles must
not permit themselves to think that they
were born with all the carriage makers
lore inherent in them. A man may be
q first class theoretical and practical
mechanic and not be able to make a
good vehicle to run on wheels. The per-
feet carriage, as we know it today, is
the aggregate Of the years Of exhaustive
trial and experiment and the improve
rxents on that experience made by /, 900
men Of genius.
If the carriage builders bestow upon
the new carriage all the art acquired in
building the old, and the motorcycle
men learn the reasons Of the convention
alities Of the trade and adapt their i'm
provements to them with reference to
the opinions Of those who are not preju-
diced against innovation, they will
both work together in harmony and
with one purpose, and, SO united, they
will make rapid progress in the devel-
opment of the inevitable vehicle Of the
future. -Cassier' Magazine.

His Musical Choice.

"Eothen" Kinglake was great friend
Of Nine. Olga de Novikoff during her
sojourn in England, where one feature
Of her entertainments was afternoon
musicals to which none but dilettanti
were invited. On one occasion Kinglake
presented himself, and as an intimate Of
the house was admitted. He retired to a
corner and listened attentively. Madame
was surprised, but pleased, and ap-
preaching him said: (Which order Of
music do you prefer, my friend-classic,
Italian or the Wagncrian school? fancy
you do not know our great Gilman"
II assuredly am fond of music" he an
swered, "but my taste is perhaps Pc
culiar. AS an instrument l prefer the
drum" Madame took measures to pre-
vent his being admitted to these assem-
blies again.

THE o

Fenno Brothers and Childs' weekly
wool report sums up the market in the
following concise but not very encour-
aging manner:
The market continues featureless and
again the volume of trade so light in
domestic woods as hardly to admit re-
liable quotations. Prices are only nom
tnal. The situation is indeed a singu-
lar one, and to explain it TO the salts
faction OF every one would be a diff
cult task. Some directly attribute the
present status to a general upset of the
finances in this country, while others
believe that 1t is the natural result OF
an oyer-production of wool, while
again a large number, perhaps a ma
tority, contend that, in spite of the
forecast OF many who believed that a
removal of wool duties would enhance
the value of our domestic clip, the al
iteration oil the tariff and the readjust-
ment OF duties o n wooden goods is
alone responsible for this demoralized
condition in our wool market. While
the first causes may have had more or
less direct effect upon the situation.
unquestionably the change in our tar.
III laws and the enormous amour of
foreign fabrics, foreign wool, and sub
stitutes. which have been brought into
the country, as a result is by far the
greatest cause of the present disturb
ance.
In this connection we would say that
the increased importation of foreign
and shoddies has been remark.

eign rags e brought in to this coun-
ny against 10000, 900 pounds in 1895.
and every ounce OF these adulterants
hurts the value of wool, ami gives to
the consumer Of wooden goods so much
less value for his money. The force Of
foreign competition has driven our
home manufacturers more and more to
the use Of these miserable substitutes
Tor wool, and until greater care is

reasonably expect a substantial change

reasonably expect a substantial change
for the better.
Our wooden mills are still but indif-
ferently employed, and both retailers
and jobbers of wooden goods hesitate
to increase their orders under existing
circumstances.
The one bright spot in the outlook is
the continued rumor of a shortage in
the wool clip of Australasia. and as
this is emphasized by recent advices
which bring more reliable confirma-
ton of this report. it may be that with
the supplies of the world gradually re,
duced by natural or unnatural causes,
better level, but that this can come in
time to materially help prices. as far as
present available supplies in this coun-
try are concerned, is very doubtful, and
hence we can see but little chance Of
any material improvement in values in
the near future.
Early shearing in many parts of the
country is progressing rapidly. and be-
fore long new woods will begin to put
in an appearance at the eastern sea-
board.
Sales for the past week foot up about
1.377,OO pounds against about 2.2S3,-
600 pounds for the corresponding
week of last year, and about LIS. 900
pounds for the preceding week of this
year. The principal sales have been of
foreign about $50, 900 pounds: of terri
tory about 800. 900 pounds; and of
secured about 100, 900 pounds.
