CIGARETTES AND CRIME.
Statistics on the Relation of the One t
the Other.

Statistics on the Relation of the One to
the Other.
The relation of the cigarette to
crime was the subject of some start
ling statistics presented before the
National Conference of Charities
and Corrections at Cincinnati. OF
the boys in the Illinois State Re-
fomatory between the ages of ten
and fifteen, ninety-two per cent.
were confirmed cigarette smokers,
and eighty five per cent. so addicted
to the habit, at the time of their con-
victiOn, as to be termed cigarette
fiends" by the court.
The superintendent who compiled
these figures asserts that the CT
garette works tenfold more injury
to the boy under fifteen than do in
toxicating liquors, and more than
any other one factor starts him on
the road to criminal life.
While 1t is true that not every Gig
arctic fiend becomes criminal, the
fact remains that the habit is ac-
quired through evil associations
it involves demoralizing deception
on the part Of the boy at home; and
by embedding health and will max s
the lad an easy prey to temptation.
Professor De Motte,of Bryn Mawr
visiting tobacco house in Brazil
noticed black fluid trickling slow
ly into the vat of tobacco about to
be made into cigarettes. Upon asking
what it was he was told, Rum, mo-
lasses and opium; to give spice t.
the cigarette" These are specific
facts, which admit of no controversy
Deductions thereupon can be easily
made by every reader. - Youths

Farm the Best Place for Boys.
An ideal farm is an ideal place for
boys. In fact, farms which are far
from ideal are generally better
places for boys to live than in towns
and cities. No doubt SOME boy or
young man will say, after reading
this, that the writer is greatly mis-
taken. But history and observation
prove very conclusively the truth
fulness of the above assertion. 1t is
the farm boys that come to the
front. Most great men were raised
in the country. There is something
about rural life that develops the
best there is in boy. He makes a
solid growth mentally and physi-
cally. All nature invites his study
and meditation, and the thousands
of interesting things which are seen
about him every day teach the boy
to be observing, which is moot
valuable acquisition in his calling.
1t is wonderful how much a country
boy knows about the things of the
country. And If he goes to town
or city only a short time is required
to become familiar with the new en-.
vironments.
Nearly all country boys are taught
to work and be useful. A few months

He narrowed, operated the mower
and the reaper, and was the regular

his work, too. He felt that he was
of some account. This work will
make him man. 1t is preparing
for good service in life, whatever
vocation may be chosen.

At that mo- nent up cane a general. We must get him to expose himself,' said the general. "one of you must chamber up ,n top of the barrieade; then. when our friend at the other end of the street lhows himself to take aim, two or hree of you fetch him down.

It was, however, found that he was not responsible for his actions. and be was ordered confined during her maj esty's pleasure. He was first inear- cerated in Old Bedlam, until, in 1861. when the Broadmoor asylum was opened, he was transferred there with other prisoners. During his long con finement of fifty-fve years Outer was a quiet, inoffensive, weak minded man, pottering about doing odd jobs. He was ineareerated at the age of 29, and quit it only by death at the age of 84.

Each of the ladies of the Sultan's harem who goes is jealously guarded by an eunueh, but the hero of this adventure succeeded in winning over the guard ian of the beauty he admired by heavy bribes.

How wiss Astonishsd Hin by Providing

There Is really nothing else so touching as young wife's devotion to her husbands interests in the honey moon springtime of their love. For example, in neat little fiat in the northwest quarter of the town live two young people l know, who have not been housekeeping long enough yet to get spots on a single one of the nine embroidered center pieces that were among their wedding presents. 1iHe is literary, and he uses a typewriter in setting down his ideas. The machine he possesses has a keyboard vita both black and white keys, and on some Of the white keys the letters are quite worn off from long Use, leaving the keys blank. Just a few evenings ago the young man was dashing off some thing which required the frequent use of the exclamation point. Now. to make an exclamation point with his typewriter you have to set down period, back-pedal a little. and stamp an apostrophe-I think it's used as an apostrophe--oyer the period. all of which takes time and patience. The young man said several things more or less under his breath about the stupid fty Of men who make typewriters without exclamation points. The young wife smiled sweetly, and said nothing. 4 typewriter is as strange to her as a thrashing machine or triple expansion engine, but love lent her wisdom. When tie young man came home next day she uncovered his type writer with proud flourish. "There!" she said. i've fixed 1t for you. Just see what I have done?" And on one of the blank white keys the clever young creature had carefully linked the neatest possible mark of exclamA- ton.

 YAWNING
Mast Now Be Considered a High Con-
 plIment.


 Have you ever observed at theater or concert that the people who are most deeply interested appear between the acts to be quite weary of the whole thing. yawning half a dozen times in succession? The reason of this is a physiological one. When your atten- tion is much absorbed in anything ex- citing. or touching. you breathe in a very shallow manner, and take into your lungs only half enough air. Con- sequently. when your attention is re- faxed, you have to make up the defi- eleney. This you do by yawning. which, after all, is only breathing d very deep breath. If you watch a man at a play. and observe that be is greatly moved by some incident, you may feel sure that when the scene ends he will sigh, and a moment or two later yawn repeatedly. Of course the yawning, so far from being a sign of weariness. is a proof of the liTeliest appreciation. Very. often you will ob- serve the same phenomenon in a girl reading novel. And by her yawns you can tell when the end of some ab- sorbing incident is reached.

Mics That Manufacture Thread.

A Scottish artisan has conceived the ingenious and economic idea of em- ploying mice in the manufacture of thread. The small quadrupeda are made to turn wheel with their feet, and in thls manner, and by means of simple mechanical eontriyanee, they are able to make about 2.s00 reels of 187 yards each daily. To produce this quantity 1t is estimated that they cover 8 course of 1s000 yards.
