But even on the way home the fierce ardour of his snirit nared up into words.

He noursd out the vial of his wrath against the great city where men went to and fro all day in their desire for money: he spoke of the nobler and the better life. in which all men should be content with little. and should think more of their minds and souls than of their bodies. In the first instance he was stopped by the police. In the second ne was jeered at by a little band of unemployed

FOR THE USERS OF TOBACCO
Assertion That Plant Was Certainly
Placed Here for Good Purpose.

II is passing strange that, with all
the experience at command, the ply
siolosists are never in agreement as to
the effects of the smoking habit Even
where lay opinion has been fairly well
established by the apparently well d.
gested views of the scientists with re-
spect TO certain phases of the whole
problem, they are wholly liable to up
setting by the latest opinion. For ex
ample, two considerations have long
been thought to be determined-that
moderate indulgence in tobacco need
not be denied, and that the lad not
out of his teens would better abiure
tobacco altogether. II may be assert
ed that man is not smoker by ma
ture; and certain effects of tobacco
seem to indicate, without especial ar
gument, that the longer the acquire
ment of the habit is postponed the bet
Ter for the human system. At the
same time the remote antiquity Of the
tobacco plant suggests that it is one
of natures unassisted growths; and,
if it were not designed for man to en-
JOY in security. neither is ii at all
clear that it is to be classed with ma
lures productions.-Pro Jour
