1--WE hear a great deal about the
dignity of labor" observed the pessi-
mist, as he crossed his feet on the
veranda railing and began shooting
smoke rings toward the moon.
1.-THE working man is held up as the
loftiest ideal of humanity, and rightly
so; but when we shake hands with him
most of us take good care to keep our
gloves on
A silence interviewed, and finding
that his words were being listened to,
he continued:
ave spread out our creamiest adj
jectives when we are talking of the
value of work and the blessedness of
honest industry, and then the first
time we come in contact with BRAIN
less loafer, whose chief pride is that
he never has done a stroke of work in
his life, we take him home, give him
the best we have and fight for the
honor of backing his shoes. That's
the nature of our people today. Los

An original F4st story.

DIR. G. v. A. Robertson, of flicker
ing, reports: ION Saturday received
a caJl to visit the son of a farmer.
Inc message was: The lad has been
bitten by fish,. On my arrival I
found the led suffering from a severe
v ound of the right foot, which re-
q'nred several stitches. On making
inquiries, l was t1td that the lad had
baen bathing, along with tive oflers,
in the river Leven, which runs near TO
the farm at Sinningt3n. and On getting
out of the water he sat on the bank
as lads are wont to do, when sud-
denly large fish jumped out of the
water onto the bank, seized the lad
by the foot and jumped in again. The
distance from the water to the edge of
the bank was quite two feet, and the
lads foot was three feet from the edge
of the bank. A lady who was passing
and heard his cries went to his assist
ance and carried him home, as the
foot was bleeding profuse1y. A gen
tlemdn who stays at the farm and is
an enthusiastic angler asked to be
shown the place, and said he would
try to catch the fish. On taking his
fishing tackle, he had the qualification
of catching the fish in a few minutes
with an artificial bait. 1t turned out
to be fine pike, measuring two feet
and one-half inch long, and weighing
six pounds. There can be no doubt, 9
adds the DOCTOR "as to the truth Oh
the occurrence, fer not only saw the
lad and the fish, but I also saw the
fish measured and the gentleman who
caught it. NEW York Post.

Wind a CIGAR Contins.

Analysis or the cigar, its leaf, smoke
and ash. produces remarkable results
The ordinary smoker who saunters into
a cigar store. Importantly approaches
the long glass case, blandly says, Give
me a Hotstuff. a Stencher or a Never
draw bites off the end dainty re-
it to the lighter, complacently puffs and
knows very little of what he does.
A scientist finds in the smoke water
in a vaporous state, SCOT or free carbon,
earbonic acid, carbonic oxide and oily
nicotine in which are found aeetic,
formic, butyrie, valerie and propionic
acids, prussic acid. creosote and car
bolic acid, ammonia. sulphuretted n.y.
drogen, pyridine, virldine, picoline, luti-
dine, collodine, parvoline, eoridine and
rubedene.
In the leaf are found nicotia, tobac-
co, camphor, gum, chlorophyll, malate
of lime, sundry a1buminoids, malic acid
woody fiber and various salts. In the
ash exist potash, soda. magnesia. lime,
phosphuric acid, sulphuric acid. Silica
and chlorine.
This is the result of analysis of an all
tobacco cigar. An English parliamen-
tary report showing adulteration of to-
bacco gives the following as ingredients
in very cheap cigars:
Sugar, alum flour or meal, rhubarh
leaves, saltpeter, fuller's earth, starch,
malt-commings, chromate of lead, peat
moss, nolasses, burdock leaves, COM
mon salt, endive leaves, lampblack,gunl
red dye a black dye composed of veg
etabie red, iron and licorice, scraps OF
newspaper, cinnamon stick, cabbage
leaves and aw-brown paper"
1t is said the free carbon acts as an
irritant; that ammonia bites the tongue
and exercises a solvent influence on the
blood; that the carbonic acid produces
sleepinesa, headache and lassitude, and
that the nicotine causes tremor, palpita-
ton of the heart and paralysis.-Wash-

Chicago, March 25.-Hospital ships for
habtual drunkards. 10 be anchored in
an isolated part OF the harbor. is the
scheme proposed by DR.. c. l.. Mix, ex-
pert in the treatment OF alcoholic pa
tients. in lecture before a social science
class.
AN habitual drunkard isi a diseased
man." said DR., Mix. "and he should be
looked after with medical eye. IL is per
fectly evident 10 physicians that any drug
antidote for alcoholism never will be
found
You might as well look for the
philosophers stone. The treatment can
not be done under a year and a cure
often takes from two TO three years.
"lnebriates should be divided into two
classes. The first is the hospital stage
and the second the convalescent. The
two never should be mixed. Physical
suffering should be looked after frst.
There is beautiful chance TO isolate
inebriates on the lake. Old boats might
he utilized and anchored in the harbor.
The only objection Is the lack OF en-
ployment. but this might be met.
THE first thing 10 do Is 10 withdraw
the poison, then take care OF the reaction
airy symptoms The physical damage on
the stomach. liver and kidneys must be
repaired.
Prohibition has been thoroughly tried
and has met with indifferent success"

tion whether II should be supported
