(Mrs. f. Van Hood, Editor)
Again, the CIgaret

The most Indifferent observer can
hardly fail to notice how the cigaret
habit is growing. With all our study,
our new methods, our efforts to tide
the boys over the adolescent period
we can not make any real progress if
we fail to keep him from the cigaret.
The greatest problem lies just here. 1t
faces the teacher; it confronts every
mother who starts her six-year- -old
boy in school. She may be sure that
some manly CD boy, perhaps not
much older than her little one, will
offer the newcomer cigaret, and
will undertake to teach him the art
of smoking.
There is no question of the deadly
effect of the cigaret. In view of this
fact, it becomes the duty of good men
to deny themselves whatever comfort
they may find in cigar or pipe, in order
to discourage entirely the use of to-
bacco.
recently published picture of a
prominent ruler shows him with his
mother on his arm while in his other
hand he holds a cigaret. The weed
flaunts itself on the pages of much
present-day fiction. Hero and heroine
pause in exciting moments to give each
other a light" Truly might this be
called the age of nicotine.
We have laws against selling Gig
arets to minors, but who enforces these
laws? Judge Webb of North Carolina,
in a recent charge to the grand jury
of Wake county, had this to say: "I
don't want to be cranky about any one
| thing. l don't know how long / shall
| be on the bench, but / want to see the
| young men grow strong This is a fast
age and men often don't take time to
raise their children. They want to
make money fast and get rich quick.
They will take cognizance of the death
of a pig or the loss of a chicken.
| "All this time boys are smoking by
stealth, running behind the house
| where they can't be seen. 1t would
| make your heart bleed IL you went
| over this state as l have done. to see
| the boys killing themselves smoking
cigarets. 1t is killing hundreds and
thousands of them in North Carolina.
And 1t hurts young men. 1 have seen
| four or five of the finest young fell
| lows / have ever known, die from
| this cause. 1 have made up my mind
| that if 1 ever get a who sells
cigarets to boys, he will get such
punishment as will keep him from
selling any more very soon. When We
see a boy smoking it is the duty of ev-
! cry good citizen to put his arm
around that boy and beg him to quit"

Race Suicide

Mr. Gladstone, the great English
statesman, said: Strong drink kills
more people than war, pestilence and
famine combined" Congressman Hob
son in his remarkable speech. ""Alcohol
the Great Destroyer" emphasizes the
truth of this statement. Others tell
us that one hundred thousand lives a
year are sacrificed in the United
States upon the altar of drink. Is not
all this race suicide?"
Thousands of wives are murdered
annually by drunken husbands. These
might have lived and borne children
for the republic had is not been for
drink. In one year it is said twenty
three hundred babes were smothered
by drunken parents. They might have
lived and become useful citizens had it
not been for drink. Is not this race
suicide?"
Thousands of children whose fathers
or mothers spend their money for
drink die annually for lack of proper
nourishment: other thousands eke out
an unhappy existence of labor which
no child should attempt, under condi-
tions which practically assure their
graduation into the criminal classes.
Is not this race suicide?"
Is it not more desirable to save the
children already born. and So safe
guard them as TO eliminate the almost
absolute certainty that they will swell
the ranks of the drunkards, detectives
and criminals, than to have a multi
tude of children born daily into the
same conditions, to follow the same
downward course?
In many, if not most. cities vice
flaunts itself openly along the streets:
emissaries of the white slave traffic
visit every rural district and haunt
every place of amusement; the doors
of the saloon swing wide to every
mothers boy. Let the state cleanse
itself of legalized race suicide and
there will never be a lack of children
for the building up of a great nation,

Insurance and Liquor

The following strong temperance
testimony has just ben given by an in
dustrial insurance man: "In Muncie a
city of about $4,000, which was dry
for a number of years, our company
placed many policies. the payments of
which were met promptly and cheer
fully. Last year the city voted wet,
since which time our collectors have
had the greatest difficulty in secur-
ing payments. In fact, delinquent
payments and lapsed policies are now
the rule instead of the exception. The
industrial insurance men in the future
will all vote for a temperance city be-
cause 1t sustains and promotes their
business"

HUNT FOR FLORAL TREASURES
Army Of Collectors Always At Work
In All Corners Of Earth Seek
Ing specimens.

Many well-known plants hare
been developed from specimens dis
covered in various parts of the world,
and there is no doubt that a number
Of charming novelties are still lurk-
ing undiscovered in remote spots.
The chances of valuable finds are,
however, becoming unfortunately
less every year. A small army of
collectors is always at work in ev-
cry corner Of the world searching for
new treasures to enrich our floral
store.
From South America came, many
years ago, the recently questionable
fuchsia; from the hills Of northern
India and Tibet have been brought
many useful varieties; from China
we have had, among other things,
many new primulas; Japan has
yielded wonderful irises; Africa
many varied plants usually Of most
brilliant and gorgeous coloring;
while numerous charming members
Of the narcissus family have been
discovered in the Pyrenees.
But this cannot continue indef-
nitely, and even in the realm of or
chids, for which, perhaps, the most
systematic search Of all is made,
there is not much left to be explored.
For our future novelties we shall
have to rely, then, chiefly on the skill
of our hybridists, who are constantly
engaged in mating different species
of the same family of plants, and
our cross-fertilizers, who are doing
similar work with different varieties
Of the same species.-The Strand.

THE LONG AFRICAN FOREST.

One of the great natural treasures
of Africa is the immense extratropi-
cal forest that extends almost I'M
broken from the extreme southern
end along the eastern highlands to
the equator.
There are gaps in it, and the trees
change in kind somewhat with
change of latitude, but upon the
whole it has the same character
throughout. The altitude above the
sea changes regularly with decrease
of latitude. Near the cape the for
est grows at sea level; in Natal and
the Transvaal its altitude increases
to 5000, 1000 and 5000 feet; and
on approaching the equator it rises
to 1000, and finally to 10000 feet.
In the equatorial highlands the
growth is very vigorous, and the for
est is enriched with the .'pencil ce-
dar" of Abyssinia.-~ dth's Com

CHINESE COLUMBUS.

According to a Chinese chronicler,
Hui Sen, who lived in the sixth CEN
fury of the Christian era, North
America was known to the Chinese
under the name of Fusang or Fusu.
1t was said to be a continent lying
$500 miles to the east of Asia. The
chronicle states that in the year 453
five Buddhist priests sailed from
China for Fusu, landing in Mexico,
where they taught their religion to
the natives, built temples and set up
enormous statues of their gods all
over the country.
Traces of a Mongolian civilization
have been found in Mexico. There
exists in particular statue of a
god resembling, not the Aztec god,
but one of the grotesque deities of
the Chinese.-Harper's Weekly.

simple Device That Has Seen Found
o. Immense Value In Service
on Warahlps.

The fact that the ears Of gunners
are frequently seriously injured by
the detonations Of great guns, the
tympanum Of the ear being often
ruptured, has led to the invention by
Marriott Of a simple but effective de-
vice which prevents these injurious
effects without diminishing the
sharpness Of hearing.
The protector consists Of a solid
mass Of glass of such form as to fit
accurately the external ear, into
which it is inserted. 1t is traversed
horizontally by perforation, the in-
ner end of which almost touches the
tympanum. The outer end of this
horizontal passage dies not quite
reach the outer end of the mass of
glass, but connects with vertical
passage which communicates freely
with the atmosphere above and be-
low. The violent disturbance Of the
air caused by the artillery discharge
produces an aspiration in the hori-
Eontal passage and consequently a
rarefaction of the small mass of air
confined between the tympanum and
the glass protector.
BY reason of this rarefaction the
force of the aerial vibration trans
mitted to the tympanum is very
greatly reduced. The effect is pro-
duced only by violent compressions
of the atmosphere, so that the SEN
sitiveness of the ear for ordinary
sounds is not diminished Harper's
