POISONS IN TOBACCO,

Tobacco destroys the taste, smell and
digestion
Tobacco kills mental, moral and
physical rigor.
Tobacco paralyzes the mucous mem
branes and glands
Tobacco's most dangerous poison,
nicotine, Is without antidote.
Tobacco contains prussic acid, am
monia, carbonic oxide and nicotine.
Tobacco contains stronger poisons
than opium. alcohol, absinth or choral.
& single leaf Of tobacco or a single
cigar contains enough OF this poison to
XIII man If applied properly.
Nicotine is the most deadly poison
KNOWN to the pharmacepoea. A single
drop or grain will kill large animal.
Nicotine resembles prusslc acid in ap-
pearance, effects and activity. Nico-
tines victims die In violent convul-
sions.-New York American.

Now turn on the hot water faucet
and let it run. Hold the razor under

take slanting, or diagonal, stroke, like
a farmer does with scythe, not a
square pull, and you will be amazed to
find how beautifully and easily the hot
blade cuts the beard
When it is filled with Iather hold it
under the running hot water instead of
using shaving paper. This will wash
OF the lather and at the same time
heat the blade again. Don't be afraid

be impossible if you put the razor in a
Kettle and boiled it. Try the hot blade
and your never shave with the cold

ORIGIN OF NEW YORK NAMES

There are some names Of n,aces II
Greater New York common enough or
the modern tongue, but the origin Of

Dorp, on Staten Island, was 80 named
by the Dutch to distinguish il from
Dude Dorp (Old Dorp), the first Dutch
settlement on the island, which was
thrice destroyed by the Indians Old
Dorp stood to the northwest of For,
Wadsworth, about where Arrochar
now stands. Two miles to the west OF
the ruins Of Old Dorp the persistent
Dutch built their Now Dorp.
The northeast section Of Staten Is

Greater New York was known as Cas-.
Teton, and is still generally so called.
takes its name from the fact that it
once formed Governor Dongan's IMAM
or OF Casteton." Dongan-the Dongan
hills are named from him-was OF the
family Of the Earl Of Limerick, and the
seat OF the earl in Ireland was Castle
town, in the County Kildare. MANY of
Governor Dongan's descendants still
i've on Staten Island, some of them &C.
cupying and owning houses on the land
OF the old manor. At first Governor
Uongan merely had hunting lodge on
Staten Island, and it is significant of
the state Of that portion of New York
city at the end of the seventeenth CEN
fury that at meeting Of the colonial
council the governor was entered on
the minutes as absent being engaged
at his hunting lodge on Staten Island
killing bears.'
Bedlows island, on which the statue
OF Liberty stands, was purchased in
1716 by an Englishman named Bedloy-,
who had amassed large fortune in the
East India trade and was an acuuaint
ance Of the then governor, the notori-
Gus Lord Cornbury. Bedlow received
from Cornbury the privilege of victual-
ing the British fleets which freuuente1
New York. 1t was a most profitable
monopoly, having in it great possibiU
ties of graft. Cornbury is supposed TO
have "stood in with Bedlow. When
Bedlow died suddenly Cornbury seized
all his papers, collected all the out
standing debts due the contractor. and
kept everything Of Bedlow's he could
lay his hands on, leaving Bedlow's wild
oW and children in poverty. Bellows
Island was bought and used by the CON
tractor while he victualed the fleets as
a depot for his stores.

"rhe proposed departure Of Mr.. Merritt

THE LEGISLATURE

out saying, but some substantial good was
accomplished, and praise should not be with
held from those who made the battle for 1t.
The settlement with the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company ends controversy
which has been more or less acute for years,
takes the State out of a business partnership,
and materially lightens the burdens of taxa
ton.
The passage of the Haman oyster bill
marks real step forward, and the General
Assembly has here done Its full duty. 1t is
now for the Board of Public Works 10 put
the law into operation by the appointment
OF officers who are thoroughly competent,
and without reference to political considera-
tons of any kind. Necessarily, 1t will be
some years before the benefits Of law OF
this kind begins to show in large way /;
but II succeeding legislatures can refrain
from tampering with It, we predict great re-
suits TO all sections Of the State and espe-
cially to those sections which 30 persistently
and bitterly opposed the bill.
The local legislation also comes In for q
word OF praise. The Treasurer bill will
save money and produce more careful bu-
slness system in the Office OF the County
Commissioners. The primary election law
should remove the Objectionable features
which have crept into our primary elections
in late years, and offer an equal chance TO
all who aspire to become the candidates OF
their party. The reorganization of the
School Board will enable all sections OF tn
county TO be represented, and is calculated
to promote the efficiency Of the schools and
the safeguarding of what is now the largest
interest OF the taxpayers.
Senator Lees course was admirable
throughout, and reflects credit upon him
and his constituents. His colleagues In the
House were less conspicuous, but none the
less efficient and earnest In their efforts to
serve the people.
