Cigarette Insanity.

A singulary pitiable case of one OF
the evils resulting from the habitusl
use OF the cigarette has just occurred
in New York. A young man oil
twenty five, the son of a physician Of
high standing, a few days ago became
incurably insane from the exclusive
use Of cigarettes, attempted suicide,
and, being thwarttd, was removed by
his father from his home to the in
sane ward of hospital
The statements made by the an
happy father furnish striking testi-
mony not only to the ease with which
the cigarette habit may be, acquired,
but also to it's deadly effects when
practiced to an unlimited extent. The
youth in question began cigarette
smoking when q little bov at school.
and. as the habit grew upon him, the
number of cigarettes he consumed in

function of home. Every child de-.
prived, by whatever means, OF this
education and training is defrauded
out Of an inalienable right, and when
he comes into the inheritance of his

avenge himself on the society that per

fence Of the views of ssinfdels, atheists

It is cruelty to withhold from children

Written BY Motherless Girl.
Many times girl could be saved

if some good christian woman. with
her best interest al heart, would but
give her the advice she so much needs.
We do not accuse you mothers of not
feeling warm sympathy for Us, or of
intentional neglect, but if you keep it
hid away in your hearts, how can it
benefit Us? We want your sympathy
and love. We know you have your
own homes and daughters, your own
troubles, your own life to live, but
could you not sometimes spare few
OF your precious moments to the
motherless girls at your door, who
crave your sympathy and love? It
will surely be ''bread cast upon the
waters, and an added star to your dia-
dem. You may think from her sur
roundings and outward appearance she
would not appreciate your interest.
Try anyway, Learn something of her
inner life. Outward appearances do
not always bespeak inward happiness
The heart yearning for uotner love
is never satisfied. Do not think there
are any more deserving Of pity, for

Much is expected Of us. often more
than we can give. We are more
closely watched, more severely criti-
clsed than anyone else The world is
ever ready to pull rs down. Many for
some slight improperly, which was
shoughtlessly committed, must endure
the fiery darts Of Islander, which is by
far the most uncomfortable anguish
human heart ever had to bear. and so

IT SOllQ happiness we prize,
Within our breast his jewel lies;
And they are fools who roam:
The world has nothing to bestow;
From our own selves our joys must flow.
And that dear place-our home.
The long drawn frown only pulls
men down.
Don't you often meet men who in.
spire you with desire to hit them

Don't claim an ignorance of evil,
but rise up and over it to purer realms
of thought, and help yourself and hu.

good thing all about us. Beautiful
loves, fine friendship, noble charities.
Look for them and you will find them.

childhood. Dear mothers, shall you
permit yourselves to be so numbered
about much serving that the rich
garden of your child's soul will lie
neglected with foul weeds choking out
all worthy and beautiful growth7
Probably most of the good mothers
who weekly read this department. are
heartily glad that our presidents
daughter, Miss Alice Roosevelt, is
married. Miss Alice was doubtless
fine girl. but many a mother who
reads this column has a daughter her
equal in every respect. The effort
made by emperors and kings Of foreign
countries to make princess out of
one of our American girls was in bad
taste and before the golden knot was
tied became disgustingly silly to the
average American. Many q poor
mans daughter possesses as many
laudible attributes of princess as did
Miss Alice. The American people
have never been educated to worship
royalty and the daughter Of q prince
or duke has no ledge over the
daughter of an honest farmer in this
land of the free and the home Of the
brave. = It was fitting that Miss
Roosevelt, as the daughter or presi.
dent whom we all delight to honor,
should have been married in a style be-
fitting her high station in social life;
but it was carried to the extreme and
became disgusting to the American
idea. The newspapers are to blame
for the "gush' that has been poured
out so lavishly and we doubt not that
il was more distasteful to the presi.
dent and his family than to any one
else.
Every child has a right to such an
education as will qualify for life's
duties. This is recognized as pa
triotic duty by the state. The per-
manenoe Of our political institutions
depends on the intelligence Of our.
citizenship Tho bayonets Of for
eign soldiers are less to be feared than
are the ballots of ignorant VOTERS. !"
The welfare Of the state depends more
on the moral and religious training Of
her citizens than on their Intellectual
training, yet the state makes no pro-
vision for this moral discipline. In
some places Il makes Il difficult or
even impossible to secure such train.
