The Poison in Tobacco Smoke.
CFrom the New York Times.)

(Erom the New York rimeS.)
That the element of nicotine in TO-
bacco can enter the blood of the smoker
to any appreciably harmful degree ply
sicians no longer teach. But by far the
gravest charge yet made against the
weed is by the London Lancet, that the
smoke contains in large proportion the
poisonous gas, carbon monoxide. Until
confuted by equally good authority the
statement ot the Lancet must be &C
cepted that the fumes of an ounce of
tobacco in cigarettes contain from one
pint to four pints of this gas. while
the same weight of tobacco smoked in
in pipe gives forth two and a quarter
to five pints. OF the toxicity of carbon
monOxide no doubt exists. 1t is the
chief constituent of Illuminating gas
and is decidedly harmful in quantities
far short of that needed to produce as
DhyXiatiOn. Air with so small an ad-
mixture as fifteen onehundredths of
per cent of the gas makes a distinctly
dangerous" fnhalant, and the proper
ton alleged to be found in tobacco
smoke would easily account for the
dizziness, shortness of breath and pal
pitations experienced by excessive
smokers.
If it be demonstrated that carbon
monOXide should be feared by smokers.
it ought to become profitable for the
cigar manufacturers to make brands
and devise methods that will produce
the gas in minimum quantity, while
taking advantage of the mellOwer quail
tiles of tobacco. Meanwhile the Ian
Gets comparison of pipe and cigarette
is useful in showing that the cigarette
would be less pernicious, were it not
that the cigarette user is more addicted
to inhalng the smoke

How to Become a PassabIe Pianist.

Paderewski has confded to the
world the secret of how to become a
good pianist. He gives the six follow
ing directions:
You must have the gift.
2 You must choose good master
and obey him blindly.
j. You must practice exercises four
hours daily and give one hour to digital
agility.
4. You must remember that agility
alone does not suffice: you must also
possess rhythm, precision and practice
the pedals
.. You must exercise the five fingers
equally. Study especially the passing
OF the thumb under the hand and the
passing of the hand over the thumb.
6. You must strike the notes with as
Surance and deeply, and make use of
the pedal in the central octaves to give
color.
Follow these precepts diligently, says
the celebrated Pole. and in ten years
you will be a passabe pianist.

toned an idea of his own which he
never followed up, but which may have
merit. He employed a novel method of
persuading a parachute to open How
well it worked he did not say, but
something better than the ordinary
parachute is certainly needed. No kind
of travel, on land or by water is be-
set with perils as great as those of an
aerial voyage. For whatever purpose
flight with machines like Mr.. Farmans

they should be equipped with aerial life

COMFORT.

4 thousand years are as a day,
A day as thousand years:
I heard the voice of Mercy say
TO seal the fount of tears.
Why doth it drag so endlessly,
Thy day of WEAKNESS?
The shadow of eternity
Lies on its storm and stress.
A thousand years are as a day,
A day as thousand years:
Through all the darkness one sweet
ray
My yearning spirit cheers:
Though quickly spent and rare they be
Life's moments of delight:
The glory of eternity
Breaks through the riffs of night.

OUR PARIS LETTER

Many Of the decollete evening
gowns are finished with long sleeves,
although this is not an absolute re-
Quirement. for Paquin is making such
dresses both with long and short
sleeves.
The materials used for the newer
gowns shown in all the exhibitions Of
the past three weeks are cashmere de
sole. meteore satin. liberty satin and
crepe de chine. OF course these are
used for afternoon and evening gowns
For morning gowns coarse serges. fine
broadcloths. ottoman silk and rep may
be used.
Paquin has made many tailored suits
OF corduroy and printed velveteens. AL
though these are quite a novelty and
have just been introduced.
1t seems that we must accept the d.
rectoire style. or the modified directoire
style, as the fashion of the coming
winter. Now that Paquin has failed
to produce anything new, we may
settle down to the knowledge that
the style for the season is set

PARIS. Sent. :,

66NN DIT" that the great cou-
turieres de Paris have at last
decided upon the fashions to
be worn during the coming season.
The hundreds who have been waiting
on the tip-toe of expectation to know
what the house Of Paquin will bring
forth have now subsidized. for the ex-
hibition Of this week has been In
every way a great disappointment.
Instead Of novel and eccentric robes
the dresses shown have not been
greatly different from those Of last
season. nor has the Maison PaQuin in
any way evolved anything very char
acteristic as compared with those who
have already shown their costumes
during the past two weeks. OF course,
the style is directoire, the sleeves are
long and tight. the skirts are supple
there Is not the slightest difference in
last February and March,
Buttons covered with material are
used on both day and evening gowns.
Great quantities Of embroidery are
employed In the making OF handsome
costumes. and very little lace Is used
except to form ruffles al the edge Of
the sleeves.

cry.
Ihere are also evening costumes of
oriental type formed Of drapery OF
supple satin and finished with grace
Iul fringes which fall from waist and
skirt Gowns Of this style are espe-
clally effective when worn by women
OF sufficient height to carry or well
the magnificence of the costume.
One of the most charming evening
gowns seen was worn by a countess OF
the Faubourg st. German. 1t was
of lace and chiffon made in empire
style and worn with a heavy Jeweled
belt of cloth Of gold fastened round
the high waist line. The decolletage
was cut square, and the sleeves were
formed by two lace scarfs-one tackled
on either shoulder and allowed to hang
down the back. The lace on the gown
was priceless. yet there was no great
burden of trimming to spoil the sim.

give the best possible ct, and they
add to the dress a look both distinctive
and Partisan. The five gowns N~ok up
the back. and the skirts are fastened
to the waists which makes them very
easy to put on. Attention should be
called to their length. which is not the
usual walking length. but somewhat
longer. although they cannot be said to
sweep the floor. One-piece gowns made
very short are not graceful.
A feature Of the new gowns is the net
sleeves and light. transparent yokes.
which may be lined, If desired. with silk
or chiffon. Soutache braid Of the very
narrowest variety is extensively used
on autumn gowns.
