ahead and built it.
1--WE connected it with the stream out

with cutoff gate at the intake. this
gate being adequately weighed to carry
it down into place again after it had
been raised. 1t was lifted by means OF
a rope running up over sheave wheels to
a point inside the house by the bath

bath he simply pulled the rope and lift

tically of diverting the stream from its
natural bed to a course through the
giants bathtub. But it was quite

ANTI CIGARETTE CRUSADE.
Several legislatures Passing Moder-
ate Bills Against Their Sale

Several Legislatures Passing Moder-
ate Bills Against Their Sale.
According to The Outlook, mea sures d.
rected against the sale of cigarettes have
occupied much attention in the various
state legislatures this past winter. One
of the most radical measures is that
adopted by the lower house of the New
Hampshire legislature This law provides
that hereafter no person. firm or corpo-
ration shall make, sell or keep for sale
any form of cigarette. 1t makes even
the gift of a cigarette to minor a mis-
demeanor. The penalty is a fine of so
for first offense and $50 for any subse-
quent oHenSe. The magazine from which
we quote says that this act is a sample
of those which have been presented to
most of the state legislatures. 1t seems
that eleven states have already passed
laws against the cigarette, and that only
two states-Louisiana and Wyoming
have not given the subject some atteu-
ton. These measures seem to win sup
port very largely from the fact that there
is such widespread belief that this par
tlcular use of tobacco is especially preva-
lent among boys and young men, and that
1t is doing incalculable injury to many OF
the rising generation. Even among legis-
lators who are themselves smokers 1t is
not difficult to win support for such bills
because they put this abuse on the same
plane as the sale of liquors to minors.
The more rational reformers who arc
frankly opposed to the use of cigarettes
not only by minors but also by adults
and especially by women) will very much
doubt the eXpediency of such stringent
legislation as that adopted in New Hamp-
shire. 1t is notorious that sumptuary
and prohibitory legislation generally over
reaches itself, and in thetend falls a dead

letter. We ourselves doubt whether men
and society women can be Iegislated out
or the use of cigarettes. We even believe
that such law, when aimed at adults Is
essentially tyrannous and that it is a
specimen of the worst form of paternal-
ISM. In the case Of minors the question
is, of course. different; and the attention
OF lawmakers should be limited to devls-
ing means to stop the sale of cigarettes to
this class. just as the law aims to stop
the sale Of liquors to it. The best pre-
ventive after all is a sound public senti-
ment, and this can be directed against
adults OF both sexes, as wen as against
boys. There is doubtless prejudice
against cigarettes, but 1t seems TO be
based in part upon nothing higher than
the dislike which most normal persons
have for the fumes of burning paper.
