BOYS AND CIGARETTES.

A magistrate in Harlem court,
New York, made the following
significant declaration the other
day
Yesterday had before me
thirty-fve boy prisoners. Thirty
three Of them were confirmed ciga-
rette smokers. Today from relia-
bIe source. / have made the grew
some discovery that two Of the
largest cigarette manufacturers in
this country soak their product in a
weak ISOLATION Of opium.
The fact that ont Of thirty-hve
prisoners thirty-three smoked ciga
rettes might seem to indicate some
direct connection between cigarettes
asa crime
And when it is announced on
authority that most cigarettes are
doped with opium. this connection
is not hard to understand.
The cigarette is TO young boys
very much like what whisky is to
grown men. Tit does not directly
cause crime it at least accompanies
itinnine cases out Of ten.
Itmust be universally admitted
that the majority Of young boys
addicted to cigarettes are generally
regarded as bad boys. It IS an ad--
diction that does not ally itself with
the high virtues Of manly youth.
II leads to bad associations and
bad environment, He must be a
strange boy indeed who can derive
moral and physical good from ciga-
rettes.
Opium is like whisky-it creates
an increasing appetite that grows
with what it feeds upon. Even
pure tobacco has the same effect
Tobacco is the boys easiest and
most direct road 10 whisky When
opium Is added. the young man ;
chance Of resisting the combined
forces and escaping physical, mem
tai and moral harm is slim in
deed.
Il is deadly combination in
most cases. There are few, if any
cases in which it is not more or less
harmful Stomach and nerves and
win power weakened for life Is the
common result, even though the
habits finally Ne mastered. *. c.

aenton md HIS wife.

Senator Benton Of Missouri was
model of tenderness and devotion to
his invalid wife, 1t seems that during
her later years her mind became I'M
paired by q paralytic stroke, but she
never failed to recognize her husband
and was fond Of being near him. once
when her distinguished husband was
entertaining q foreign prince In the
drawing room Mrs. Benton came TO
the door in q state Of undress ana
stood gazing at her husband. The at
teption Of the company being attracted
in her direction, Benton turned to see
what tie attraction was. On perceiv-
ing his poor wife he Immediately rose,
went to her, took her tenderly by the
hand and, leading her into the room,
said, my dear, Prince So-and-so;
prince. Mrs. Benton, sir" Then al
fectionately placing a hassock for her
by the side of his chair he resumed
his seat, and, leaving one Of his hands
in hers for her to toy with, he went on
with the conversation. The prince was
quick to take In the situation and
adapted himself to the occasion with
consummate tact, while all the Mis-
sourians were deeply affected.

nohv,on,an Creation Legends.


The story Of the creation, us told on
the clay tablets Of ancient Babylon, Is
interesting. Several deities appear to
have been regarded as IA existence at
the beginning of things At least two
Apsu and Tiamat, represented chaos
and the former rebelled against the
gods in consequence. The chief strug-
Gle was between him and 1sa, whose
son. Bel, created the world Man was
made by Marmuk. who In spite OF the
difference In name may have been iden-
4,cal with Bel. The creation OF man
was the eliminating event Of the his
tory. Marmuk told Ea that he intend
cd to perform his task and asked bis
Gather TO behead him. Man was to be
made out of Marmuk's blood and bone.
Marmuk appears to have survived de-
capitation, as he subsequently took
part in the councils of the gods.
Many parallels between these leg
ends and the Hebrew story Of the crea-
ton can be detected by scholars. The
idea that seven days were devoted to the
work may have long antedated Abra-
hams time. The oldest tablets yet dis
covered are not originals, but copies.
These date back only 66S-625 B. Q.

rha sill. Hats Worn In London.

There are always two kinds OF SIX
hats, each Of the best quality, on sale
in London. One is the strictly fashion
able model, 'the latest" or whatever
one may choose to call 1t, which Is re-
tailed In the west end at from guinea
TO 25 shillings. The other is the style
which Immediately preceded 1t and has
"gone out" although the quality is I'M
changed. This Is usually called the
Getty" hat and costs 10 shillings. The
distinction is a very peculiar one. En-
ployees of large London commercial
houses are not expected to be up to the
hilt In fashion, and If they are 1t Is
sure to be resented by their employers.
A London city magnate would not be
seen wearing the same shape hat as
one of his bookkeepers, and so the
great army of salary drawers keep just
a shape behind the bondholding COM
munity.
