TOBACCO SMOKE.

Science has calculated that an aver
age puff of cigar smoke sets free 2,000,-
600 tiny particles, Whit from pipe
liberates over l,SOO,OCO,OOO of these par
ticlcs and one from cigarette starts
2,9Oo,OOO,OOO of them flying through the
surrounding atmosphere.
Experts say that for smoking tobacco
is one of the least injurious substances
known. Compared with other we'll
known vegetable substances used for
the same purpose tobacco is very mild.
Opium, without doubt, is most fearful
in its effects, for the drunkenness it
produces ultimately unbalances the
mind. Next 10 opium in power are GER
tain kinds of grasses, notable among
which is hemp, which causes intoxica.
iipn and anaesthesia.
1t has often been quoted that grain
of nicotine administered all at once
would kill the strongest dog, and from
this have been argued its terrible eff
fects on the body of human being
While this statement is undoubtedly
true it is somewhat misleading. In or.
der to commit suicide by smoking the
dog would have to consume 400 strong
cigars, one right after the other lie
would put himself out of the worlt
much more easily by eating the boxes
\ very curious fac: concerning to
bacco smoke is the remarkable change
in color which it undergoes after en-
tering the mouth. From the burning
end of a cigar the smoke issues in deel
blue threads, while that which is eX
PEELED from the mouth is of a decidedly
hrownish tint. This difference is to b,
accounted for 10y the fact that the mi
nutest particles have an intense af
tinity for moisture. When tobacco
smoke is drawn into the mouth it

REPORTING THE WEDDING.
Reporter Fit for the Waste
Basket.

A reporter on newspaper was given the
task Of writing up very swell wedding.
He composed fine account of the we'd
ding ceremonies, but, like many young
writers, he tried to use too howery Ian
guage, and, becoming excited, he forgot to
be accurate in the use of words. The de:
scription of the beauties of nature read
something like this:
"The silvery moon lowered over the
scene, and the stars twinkled merrily; the
soft signing of the wind in the trees near by
came like benediction of love to the happy
couple entering upon the voyage of life to-
gether"
The reporter sent in his copy but Just
as the paper was about to be sent to press
he rushed into the editors room, all excite
ment, saying he wished to make a ccrrec-
ton in the account of the wedding, as, ac-
cording to the almanac, there was no sill
very or any other moon on that night.
And the reporter also said that he had
blundered in writing of the "contesthg"
parties instead of Contracting" parties.
After few more corrections the account
of the wedding was found available for the
