What Gets Into British Tobacco.

From the Lancet.
Why is tobacco so often highly scented?
Is it not reasonable to suppose that in
many cases it is to mask an inferior quail
ity which otherwise would be manifest?
That the treatment of tobacco with various
essences and fiavors IS practiced there can
be little doubt. and every intelligent person
knowns that in by far the majority CT in
stances the peculiar aromatic flavor of the
tobacco he buys does not naturally belong
to the tobacco leaf at all. We have strong
reasons for believing that the dosage of
tobacco with highly scented or aromatic
compounds may give rise to real injury to
health. This matter becomes the more
Sc rious when we consider the large ouan-
tity cf cheap and nasty cigarettes that are
smoked by the small youth of the present
day. We have been prompted to consult
seme of those mysterious though useful
books which are described to contain "sev-
eral thousand receipts, covering the latest,

WOMEN AND MEN.
Should Difference in Sex Make a DIE.
ference In Education:


From Harpers Bazaar.
There are certain simple and elementary
bits of nonsense which reappear at inter-
walls with the certainty of measels or small
pcx, and this sometimes in the very fami-
lies of physicians. One of these is the the
cry that whereas men and women differ In
important respects, there must therefore
be an entire difference in their mode of ed
ucation. The best way to look at this Is
by applying it first on the plane of physical
structure This, for instance. would be the
line of argument: Boys eat beef and bread;
therefore, obviously. girls should not. Yet
the moment girls accept this Inference and
begin living on caramels and ice cream, the
physicians the first to complain. They
point out, justly enough. that while the
functions of the sexes are in some impor-
tant respects different, yet there are many
more points in which they are identical;
the alimentary and digestive processes. for
instance. are the same. We do not digest
men women, dStinctively; We digest
human beings; and SO it is with nine
tenths of what physiology Includes.
same law holds. There cannot be two dis
tiEct alphabets or two wholly separate
arithmetics. You cannot rear girl on the
theory that though her brother has just
correctly remarked that two and two make
four, l. would be quite unwomanly in her
to think so; that she. being a girl, must
make the result three or five. Surely you
cannot adapt the rule of three to the sup
posed peculiarities of either sex; you can
not decree that it shall henceforth be for
women rule of three and half rule
of four and five-eighths. The plan would
be as irrelevant as the ill-timed kindness of
the rustic vino said to the traveller asking
the distance to the village. I'VE call it
three miles. but as you are old man and
your horse seems to be tired, we will say
two and G. half"
If we thus cannot modify the rule of
three to suit the critics or the physiolo-
gists still less can be set up separate sys-
tens of sex alphabets There are, indeed,
some African tribes where the sexes are
said to speak different languages, but the
uous Domestic convenience at least would
indicate that and his wife should
have learned the same A B c. The verb
