Instances of insanity caused by ciga-
rette smoking are by no means rare.
The insanity takes strangely different
forms. Sometimes the victim is violent
and has to be strapped to his bed so that
he may not commit suicide or injure his
attendants; sometimes he is affected
by zeal for religion and will fall
down in the streets and pray; some
times his reason appears to be absolute
ly stolen away and the body is left
without a mind-the saddest Of all
forms of insanity.
The approach of mental arrangement
may be sudden or stealthy. In some
cases the victim will be seized in an in
stant and turned into bowling maniac
Instances of this sort usually begin with
convulsions. Again, there are many
cases in which the victims mind wastes
away by hardly noticeable stages

A Birds Revenge.

A lady who was one day watching
a pair OF redstarts as they worked ia a
tree was startled by a violent commo-
tion that arose in the Shrubbery hard
by. Catbirds screamed, wrens seolded
and the robins shouted "Quicki" with
all their might A chipmunk was drag
ging a baby catbird by the leg from its
nest and all the birds roundabout had
come to help make a row about it, in
cluding a Baltimore oriole The scream
ing and the swish of wings as the birds
darted about made the squirrel aban-
don its prey, and then the commotfon
subsided as quickly as it had risen.
All the birds but the oriole went about
their business elsewhere. The oriole
had not said word SO far, and, beyond
countenancing the hubbub by his pres
ence, had had no part in it. The squlr-
rel, having dropped the baby catbird,
cooked itself upon a limb and began TO
chatter in a defiant way, while the ORR
ole sat not far away looking, but doing
nothing else. But in a few minutes the
squirrel left its seat and ran out on the
limb it had been seated on until it had
to use more care to keep its hold, and
then the orioles opportunity for ter
rible assault had come. Flashing across
the space, he struck the chipmunk in
one eye with his sharp-pointed beak,
and then, turning instantly, struck the
other eye in like manner. Quivering
with pain, the squirrel let go the limb
and dropped to the ground, where it
rolled and struggled about apparently
in the throes of death. The oriole flew
away to it's favorite elm, where he sang
in the most brilliant fashion. The lady
put the squirrel out of its misery, and
then saw that the oriole had destroyed
both eyes-Public Opinion.

Monarch of Mud but so determined
was that unscrupulous paper to stand
by its fake that it added the ex-
planation that Mr.. Mcguire was mis-
taken, and that it was the MCGOWAN
resolution (another out milder express
sion on the subject) which was sent.
The truth is both of the resolutions
were telegraphed to Washington, and
the receipted bills FIR their transmits
sion are on file at Sacramento.
It is a queer reflection upon the meth
DDS of metropolitan newspapers that
they permitted the public to remain in
doubt so long as to the fate of the Bel
shaw resolution, feeding it on conjec-
lures, when the truth could have been
learned at once by applying to the Gov
ernor, his Private Secretary at the time,
or to the author of the resolution him.

the discovery of the alleged conspir-
acy that the brilliant thought of ap-
plying for information where it could

newspapers. Perhaps an infusion of
hayseed journalists would quicken the
wits of the San Francisco press gang.

coming insane from this cause But
cigarettes seem to have a peculiar
power of affecting the nerves. Perhaps
this is due to the inhalation of the
smoke, for surely the smoke OF a cigar
cite is not stronger in itself than that
of a cigar. Drinkers are well aware of
the soothing narcotic and at the same
time stimulating influence of a cigar
cite. 1t is very often the case that
when a man is "tapering off, from a
spree and Graves a soothing draught of
spirits he will be satisfied with a few
puffs of a cigarette. In fact not few
physicians have pointed out that drink
ing and the cigarette habit are very
closely allied. The smoking of cigar
cites brings on an appetite for drink.
A comparison of the analyses of al
ceholism and cigarette smokers $
heart would probably show similar re-
suits. Alcohol used in excess is a poi
son. 1t gives a sensation of stimula-
tion, followed by depression. The alco-
hol habit, when persisted in, causes in
sanity Exactly the same may be said
of cigarette smoking. The inhaling of
the smoke slightly inflames the tender
mucous lining of the bronchial tubes
and lungs, and the sensation thus
caused is very like the stimulation
produced by alcohol. But in every
draught of cigarette smoke there must
be a small quantity of nicotine, which
is very destructive poison. Depres-
sion, therefore, follows the infiamma-
ton. AS the natural result of this de-
preston the unfortunate subject is
moved to take more stimulant in the
form of cigarettes or alcohol.
This is AN unnatural state of affairs,
and must lead eventually to some dis
ease. No constitution is strong enough
to withstnd constant attacks of this
scrt There probably never was more
healthy, sound and perfect man than
John L. Sullivan, yet to-day his consti-
tuition is wrecked as the result of ex-
cess Fortunately, however, Mr. Sulli-
van has not gone so far as. some others
who have so grossly abused alcohol as
to incur an affection of the mind.
Cigarette smoking is especially harm
full to the young And, curiously enough,
it is the young who appear to be par
ticularly devoted to the habit. When
lad has reached the age Of II or IA
years his constitution is subjected to
an unusual strain. 1t is the period be-
tween boyhood and manhood, and there
should be on hand a plentiful reserve
needed. But what happens if the sys-
