THE CIGARETTE.

Professor T. w. Taught principal
Of the Keyser Preparatory Branch of
the West Virginia University, raises
an interesting question in the current
issue of the West Virginia School
Journal. Professor Taught says:
"Will not some of our friends, the
chemists, who have we'll equipped
laboratories, or any others who may
happen to know, tell us what things
besides tobacco, with its natural prop,
critics. enter into the composition of
a cigarette? In my experience as
teacher, l do not recall now single
instance Of confirmed cigarette
smoker who excelled in his work, and
but few who made respectable aver.
ages. We often hear the statement
that various kinds Of nerve poison
are used in the manufacture Of the
tobacco or Of the paper cover But the
statements are made, giving no par
ticular authority, and statements so
made have, as a rule, but little
weight.
"As long as | labor under the con
vlction that the use Of the cigarette
is Injurious to the minds and bodies
Of pupils. 1t seems to be my plain
duty to discourage the habit. The
following is the plan | desire to pur'
sue: First to convince my pupils be
yond a doubt that my opposition to
the habit arises from my interest in
them; then to get perfectly reliable
information about what goes into the
cigarette and II 1t is true that certain
nerve poisons are used, ascertain the
different effects that these poisons
have upon the mind and body; and
finally to keep this information con

whose training am responsible.

what | nave In mind primarily in
seeking this information; but | am
sure 1t Will be welcomed by hundreds
Of other teachers who have had,
touching this matter, experiences sim,
ilar to my own.
"If it is possible, won't some one
give us the information steaming hot
from the laboratory"

BERLIN, Dec. 6.--The correspondent
Of the Berliner Tagehlott has Just Oh
taIned the following statement from
Count Tolstoy regarding the situation:
~ do not regard the situation as dan
gcrous. A revolution such as the
French one can never happen in Rus
ria. Such proceedings do not CORE
spend to the character Of the Russian
ration. | DO not consider the peasant
risings so serious as reported. The
peasants have become more venture
some, but when the COssacks appear
they will desist. There Is only small
party Of revolutionary agitators whc
desire disorder.
Russia possesses eighty to ninety
per cent. agrarian population, ant
therefore the workmen in a few larg'
towns do not come into consideration
but the peasants are the derIsivc fac
tor. am not in accord with the gov
ornment and can only say that up t
Ibis time the present government has
cen upheld by force, and in the flu

Surprisingly few so far are those
who have asked for a reduction in
their assessments and not so very
surprising either because Of the fact
that the assessors have used fair
judgment, though they may have
erred in some instances. There are
thousands upon thousands Of tracts
on the books and the few that have
netltioned for a reduction are but a

was taken to Denver a few weeks
ago. The method proposed is that
of chlorination by a process worked
out by man named Greenwalt.
The ore is first roasted and then
passed into tank in which the
colonization takes place. After it
has been leached the precious
metals are precipitated partly by
electrical action and partly by zinc.
This process calls for only seven
pounds Of salt to the ton OF ore.

the experiment is proving satisfac-

several who have visited the mine
report that the showing of rich ore

to require very little labor for its

the granite walls are sound and

With cost of power a mere trife,
the running expense of the mine

Less Acreage. Better Farming.

New Berne Journal
The purpose OF the cotton farmers
to put in u smaller acreage this wear,
will prove OF double value to those
farmers who follow this plan, for it
means Il steadinesS if not IL better
price Tor cotton, and If the farmer
pursues Il course of intelligent farm
ing upon his decreased acreage. it
means Il better grade, Il larger Weld
per acre. with less cost for cultiva-
ton.
1t is too often a mistake with farm
ers possessing large farms to plant
more acres than can be carefully cul-
tivated, and this includes the early
preparation OF the soil. besides the
gathering and the housing of the
crop.
The small farmer will plant twenty
acres i'll cotton. when twelve would
be As many rs he could carefully pre-
pare. The result is an Indifferent
crop, which shows in its growth the
poorly prepared soil, and in its gath
ering the insufficient and careless
kind OF labor employed, the final re-
suit being the marketing of IL poor
grade OF cotton. and receiving the
price for such Il poor article. And
yet with all this there has been a
heavy expense, for the cost is always
to be met. SO that this beingt true. the
wise farmer will see to it that a first
class article is grown.
With one quarter or one third less
cotton acreage planted this year, the
cotton farmers ought to find double
projections: first, in the less cost of
producing a cotton crop with a bet
ter grade grown. because greater
may be given to the
acreage, and secondly. in
showing to the manufacturer that
there will be no surplus which is u
weight, not only upon the farmer but
also upon the manufacturer.
The time has come not ONLY for the
cotton farmer. but for every farmer
to both realize and practice that a
less acreage aud better farming will
bring the best results.
