Cigarette Smoking.

Cigarette smoking is held responsible
by the medical examiners of the school
board tor a startling increase in heart
disease and other ailments among
students in the high schools.
Boys and girls were subjected to the
same examination. and one Of the striking
features Of the result was that not one
girl was found unable to pass. while a
large number of the boys. in almost every
case smokers. were found to be in a
physical condition which made violent
exercise Of any kind extremely dangerous.
Some OF the young men, who appeared
TO be in robust health as far as external
evidences were concerned. were said to
be suffering from heart disease in its
worst form. caused by cigarette smoking,
and liable to drop dead at any time on a
football field. In one instance. where

ion. he admitted smoking from forty to

4 Pleasant old Legend.

Many years ago, sailing from Con-
stantinople to Marseilles, we passed
close under the lee OF Stromboli, of
the north coast Of Sicily. The irrecon-
cilabIe old volcano was not in active
eruption, but from the crater a reddish
smoke was rising. while from the fis-
sures IN its sides burst now and again
tongues Of lurid fame. "Ah," observed
saiior-the vessel was an English
one-"Old Booty Is at it again. So
far as | can remember there Is a
legend that one Captain Booty, mas
ter mariner trading to the Medlter-
ranean in the seventeenth century, be-
came 50 notorious for drinking and
swearing that he was seized upon by
the fiend and carried of to the interior
Of StromboIi. from which he has con-
tinued ever since to utter profane Ian
guage by means OF tongues Of FIRE and
puffs Of smoke. This, however, did
not prevent the ghost of the profane
skipper from frightening his widow.

BALTIMORE, MD.

To My Old Patrons and dte Trdyeling Public :.
Having had very liberal share of the pub
lie patronage during the past five years, felt
encouraged to release the Howard House for
a term of years, and have at great expense
refurnished and refitted the hotel from top TO
bottom. Am better prepared than ever to ac-
commodate the public. My aim will be to
give frst-class accommodations at $500 per
day. Country merchants and commercial
travellers viii find it the most centrally loca-
ted hotel in the city. Respectfully,

Gregson careiessly.
Disbrow's pipe was suspended mid
way in the air.
you've struck it, Harry No other
words would describe her she Is a
good sort, and there was short
pause, in which Disbrow seemed to be
studying his pipe tlloughtfully-"I'v
never quite been able to understand
how she could love such an oaf as |.
I'm not half fit for her. but we've been
sweethcarts for years, and | believe

any obstacle. She helped me pay the
mortgage ON this place and literally
forced me 10 college. She's-she's a

Gregson's pipe had gone out, and he
did not offer TO relight it. In few
moments he rose. stretched himself
lazily and nsurmured with depth of
feeling quite out OF keeping with his
attitude:
Man, you're to be congratulated.
Love like hers can keep fellow from
doing lots of fool things"
The moonlight filtered through the
poplar trees and the dormer window

that innocent, half pleading face, of
the wonder in her gentle eyes at his
cleverly werded, half yelled compli-

her cheek when they met again and
when he held her hand Just trifie

thought of Disbrow. plain. plodding

out for himself-and the rosebud. Then
Gregson set his teeth hard on his
pipe. 1t was out.
Gregson was sorting his mail. Most
of the envelopes were small and dis
tinctly feminine in their chirography.
One bore his fathers Office address in
the corner. He read this first and
turned to Disbrow with an air of
mingled surprise and regret that was
credit to his versatility.

London on little mission for him, so
I'll have to be leaving tomorrow or
next day. I'm no end sorry, especially
about the fishing trip | won't have to

Disbrow was genuinely disappointed
over the sudden termination OF Greg
sons visit. They had planned so many
short jaunts up to the lakes, but dur
ing the fortnight already spent there
had been too much for him to look
after on the farm. lie voiced this feel

you're used TO, but In her way she's
one in a thousand. And you'd learn
to like her"

son, kneeling to fold some trousers.
"Will you tell her for me, If / don't see

luckiest people Of my acquaintance,

But Disbrow did not catch the words
