EFFECT OF TEA CIGARETTES.
They Give One q Sensation of Thickeninc
In the Head.


In the Head.
One of the most injurious and danger
GUS Of new fashions is the tea cigarette.
That this is no empty, baseless story Of
n 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 i'll 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 SO 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-
L.ayAl from the factory for sale.

would cut the paper il all directions,
spoil the draft and render the cigarettes
unsmokable.
To make tho tea cigarette one takes u
grade of green tea which has but little

is not sufficient to stain the paper. Tho
cigarettes ar laid aside for few days
and are then ready to be smoked.

the beginner quits them, that settles it,
he will not try tea cigarettes again. If,

and true scholars explanation, by Mr.
Irving Rabbit, of Harvard, Of the right
place and use of the classics, "a defense
OF literature against the philologians.
Mr.. Fiske's Article sets the treaty in its
proper relation to history; and by show
ing what has gone before and what must
follow it, he gives it its logical place as
an epoch-making incident in the progress
OF civilization from war and fear of war
to the inevitable triumph OF industry and
commerce, when no people can afford
war. Mr.. Woodrow Wilson credits Mr.
Cleveland with the strongest personality
in our political life siuce Lincoln, as a
conclusion forced by discriminating re-
view of the greater events of his two
administrations. Professor Hadley points
out the very complex results, good and
bad, of industrial monopoly and great
combinations. The important social and
economic effects are grouped and traced
with great clearness; and the proposed
and in the main Intellectual proposed re-
straints and remedies are reviewed. The
decline of our legislative bodies is the
most striking fact in our present political
life. Mr.. Lowell, who has had experience
as useful and observing member OF the
Massachusetts house of representatives
makes it plain that the worst evils come
less from the badness of individual
character than from the bad system
whereby we choose our legislators.

Why There Are So MANY smitbs.

At the timo Of the adoption of sur
names every artisan whose work re-
quired tho striking of blows on met
al was known AS "A smiter or smith,
and the community therefore had its
blacksmith, whitosmith, goldsmith,
silversmith, arrowsmith and several
others of tho same character. The
number of Smiths of the present
day may therefore be readily 40
counted for when we remember
that each Of tho different kinds of
smiths was Us much entitled to the
use of his trade name for cogno-
men as any other artisan. John the
blacksmith and John the copper
smith were both known as John
the smith, an appcllation which nat
urally resolved itself into the family
name of John Smith. Clifford

While there may be some plausi-
BILE pretext for setting traps for mis-
chievous persons and animals, there
can be but little urged in favor of
this practice when any number of
individuals have access to the place
in which the traps are placed. An
inventor has brought out a device,
by means of which, when a safe
door is opened, hammer falls and
n glass vessel containing poisonous
chemicals is broken. The fumes of
tho drug either stupofy or kill the
burglar. This is all very we'll, if no
ono but the burglar over went there,
but should somo interested person
attempt to open the safe he might
forget that tho trap was placed and
be suffocated by the vapor of the
chemicals. Such devices involve too
much risk to the innocent ever to
become popular. York Ledger.

Movements of Seafowl.

Young Wild ducks are so light and
active that they seem able to run on
tho surface of the water. 1t is hard
ly credible that they can do so, as a
water boatman' docs, without
breaking tho surface film" but
they certainly can make a dash for
a short distance with their feet on
the water and the whole of their
body out of it. In catching insects
on the water they rival the dexteri-
ty of young partridge on an ant
hill. There il very little doubt Also
that, like young fish, they live large
ly on the microscopic entomostraca,
which como as kind of mamma in
the Wilderness TO all aquatic crea =
lures.
Young coOts, water hens, water
rails, grebcs and swans are almost
as clover rs the young wild ducks
when i'll their downy youth. Later,
when nearly tledged, and even when
able to fly, they are much less
adroit. They lose their cleverness,
together with tho beauty of baby
hood, and pass through n stupid half
hcdSed ported Us "lappers. Even
their nerves 20 amiss. In parts of
Iceland tho line of flight of the
young swans is marked by the M
tives, who assemble, and when the
focks pass over yell, shout and
scream at the birds. The young
swans become perfectly muddled,
and many of them simply close their
wings, leave off flying and drop to
the ground, when they are caught.

white which brushed past them and
hurried to the end of tho wharf. His
clothes were dusty and stained, he
breathcd heavily, and tho eyes that
glanced anNiuusly out over tho black
water to tho ship lying SO quietly on
its bosom were big with fear.
Yes; there wVrU still lights shin
ing out from the captain s portfolios.
oh, if he could only report to him
and not to that stern, pitiloss execu-

He turned and gazod back past the
group of men and the sleeping CITY
to the hills from whence an unoon-
querablo impulse had driven him,
but whore still Jay tho escape for
which he longed. But then returned
tho words which had been ringing in
his ears all day-from them there
was no oscape-"bravo and loyal
and true to his flag" Should he be
that single ono who proved unfaith-
full?
A flush covered his thin cheeks,
and following his last and best im-
pulse no turned quickly to tho men
and was soon seated in the stern Of
n little boat which was taking him
to punishment honestly deserved,
but bravely mot.
AS the boat swung up alongside
the ship a figure leaned over the rail
ing above and the officer of the deck
called out:
lis that Cadet Blake?"
Aye, aye, sirw answered Theo-
dore, stepping quickly up the gang
way and saluting.
"A trihe late, sir!' speered the
officer. The captain left orders
| that if you returned tonight you
should report Immediately to him. "
Aye, aye, sir" Saluting again,
the boy turned, with thankful
heart, toward his captain S quarters.
A punishment, softened little by the
captain S compassion for the boy s
thin checks and haunted, weary
look, was melted out to him, and pa,
triotism resumed it's sway in his
