Evils of Excessive Smoking,

While a good cigar, used temperate
ly two or three times Il day, may be
smoked by the average adult man TO
good advantage, excessive indulgence
in smoking is very harmful. II is only
necessary to recall ones first cigar and
the profound effect il produced to real
iZe that the smoking of tobacco in large
quantities is trifiing with Il dangerous
agent. says the Baltimore sun.
The chief effects of smoking are from
the nicotine and empyreumatic oil, the
first being an active pois0n-an intin-
itesmal quantity will destroy life-and
the latter. which is the rank accumu-
latiOn in the stem of the pipe, is also
potent poison, one drop on the tongue
of a cat having been fatal. The nico-
tine and the oil both act on the nervous
system, though differently, the nicotine
paralyZing the heart by its action on
the brain, while the Oil confines itself
chiefly to the spinal cord and the motor
nerves.
1t viii thus be seen that no part of
the victims equipment escapes the
deadly effect Of tobacco in excess.

Too Realistic,

During performance of Captain
Lapalisse" at a Valencia theater some
years ago an incident occurred which,
for lifelike effect, left nothing to be de-
sired. During the said play some of
the actors mingle with the spectators
in order to cooperate from the body of
the house No sooner had Niralles. ,he
actor, taken his seat in the stalls than
a daring pickpocket robbed him of his
gold watch. Mirailes seized the man
by his coat collar and called out in d
deep bass voice:
police. Help. Thieves
The audience, taking this little cpl
sode to be part of the performance,
roared with laughter. Even the police
men joined in without stirring hand or
foot
This is no farce cried the actor in
tones of despair. The fellow has got
my watch.'
The voice sounded so natural that
the audience broke into loud applause
at such excellent fOoling." Meanwhile
the thief managed to break away from
his captOr and escaped.

wei.jngtOn's Goodness.

The Duke Of Wellington was one day
sitting at his library table when the
door opened and without any an
nOuncement in stafked figure of sin

"Who are you?" asked the duke in
his short and dry manner. looking up
without the slightest change of coun-

The duke then went on with his cor
respOndence. The maniac, appalled,
probably by the stern, immOvable old
gentleman, backed out of the room and
in half an hour was in an asylum.

A Blind Mans PercepffOn.

One of the priests of st. Francis Xa-
viers church devotes himself to work
among the blind and the deaf and
dumb. He says that contrary to the
general impression, the blind are pecul-
iarly happy and fond of jokes.
Illustrative of this, not long since
blind acquaintance of his whose re
manning senses, like that of all blind,
are exceptionally keen, was in a room

Hin6oO Weddings.

Hindoo weddings usually come in the
hot months, when the families have
leisure to prepare fer them, but an as
trol0ger must select an suspicious day
for the event. The groom is ready for
his preliminary game Of diplomacy,
which is scarcely more than a bluff
This is = pretense to visit the sacred
Gauges at Benares and wash away his
sins in its healing waters Generally
there would not be time before the
wedding day to complete such jour
hey when the groom undertakes it, bat
the readiness must be shown, and the
company sets out. When the brides
father meets them and diSsuadeS the
groom from such an undertaking, he is
very ready to stop. He is assured,
moreover, that his sins have not been
so grieyOuS as to need cleansing before
his nuptials. If the brides father is
satisfied with his spiritual condition,
the young man may need say no more,
but he returns and prepares the thai,
or gold badge, that all married women
must wear suspended from their neckS.

LenNes Used For Pnper.

Leaves of trees were used for writing
purposes very early by the Egyptians
and probably by the Greeks The Hin
docs continued the use of this material
until within a few centuries Even at
the present time books of leaves are
not uncommon in the south of India
and the island of CeylOn. The leaves Of
some Asiatic trees, from their size and
smoothness, are admirably adapted for
books. If we may judge from the name
leaf being still applied TO the paper
Of books, we should imagine these
leaves to have been formerly the prin-
cipal material in use

The bite even of the largest chame-
leon does not fetch blood, though the
teeth leave indentations. | often, says
a naturalist, provoke them to bite me
in order to observe their habits, and
only once, when one caught me be-
tween the fingers where the skin is
tender, was | really hurt. On this oc-
caSiOn the thing held on so persistently
and firmly that | could not for some
time free my finger At last l was
obliged TO call some one to get it off by
forcibly opening its mouth. Even then
it did not pierce the skin. Its teeth are
too fine and regular. but the dotted
triangular impression of the little teeth
was very red and distinct for some

IRON nnd copper.

The world could not get along today
without iron and copper. The entire
loss of all the gold and SILVER in the
world would not be nearly so serious
as would be a sudden exhaustion of all
the iron and copper, since iron is used
for all purposes Of construction, and
copper is an absolute requisite in the
use of electricity to the enormous ex-
tent which now obtains.

OF years ago, 10 promote an entente
cordiale but which has since remained
dormant and is now sending circulars
to It's memters asking them to assist
In platform propaganda. Mr.. Murray
thinks th's Is unnecessary as It IL need

suggests that the committee take
means TO erect by British subscriptions
and on British soil, a statue or other
stately memorial 10 George Washing

justice OF the cause I'm witch he fought.
and final sign Of our amlty with the

Mr., Murray then argues at great
length In favor Of this plan. He thinks
that all impartial Englishmen have for
century past regretted the bunder

means open 10 brave and honorable
