Is there any sin this Redeemer cannot pardon ?iTHE CIGARETTE.iIts Virtues and Its Vlees as Portrayed byan Unfriendly Sand.Discoursing recently about anti-cigarette legislation, that honored contemporary, theChristian Union, protested that there had been a crusade against the cigarette as if it were a special evil and as if all other tobacco were innocent, where, as the truth was, the publio attention ought not to be diverted from it, that it is the tobacco in the cigarette that is injurious, and not the cigarette itself.Now it is true enough that the cigarette cannot do much harm after the tobacco is out of it, and it is also true that the tobacco can be used to injurious excess in divers other forms. Nevertheless, there is a special devilment about cigarettes which the Christian Union’s experience seems not to have comprised. For it is a fact that an amount of tobacco which if smdked in a pipe or in the form of cigars would do the consumer no appreciable damage, is capable of results distinctly injurious if smoked in the form of cigarettes. The reason lies mainly in the present tendency to inhale the smoke of cigarettes into the lungs. To inhale the smoke of a cigar or a pipe is very unusual. The smoke of even a mild cigar is too strongifor such use, and the effect of the tobacco is obtained without it Bnt there is so little tobacco in a cigarette, and what there is is usually so mild, that in order to get any good—-more properly any bad—of it the smoke must 1e taken deeper into the system. A man may smoke a cigarette in the ordinary way and scarcely be conscious that he has smoked anything, but if he inhales tke smoke he is instantly conscious that he has taken a narcoticstimulant. As it is about the cheapest of stimulants, so it is about the meanest and most despicable. It only lasts an instant, and commonly it leaves behind a collapse, not of serious dimensions, but disproportionate to its cause. A cigar judiciously consumed often soothes the smoker’s nerves and refreshes his energies, stirring him from silence to conversation, promoting his serenity, and producing a pleasant flow of thought and language. The effect, too, is lasting enough to be oomparable to that of food, and its stimulating qualities being slowly imparted are not followed by collapse. But there is no foodeffect about a cigarette. That is all spur and no oats ; hence the common after-dinner practice of smoking a cigarette first for the sake of its momentary intoxica-!iition, and then a cigar for its more wholeiffsome and lasting effect.Considering what very poor things cigarettes are it is surprising that they shouldhave got such a hold on the community.rBut, bad as they are, they are extremely fascinating. The use of them, when carried to excess, becomes a habit that is most difficult to break, while they are so cheap and so convenient that it takes exceptional discretion to smoke them at all without smoking them to a deleterious extent. Of course it is primarily because they are so cheap that they appeal so generally to boys; but •ven with boys, who ought not to be allowed to smoke at all, it is not so much the tobacco in the cigarette .that does the mischief as the pestilent and insinuating practice of inhaling the smoke. An ordinary boy of wholesome appetites won’t smoke cigars or pipe tobacoo enough to do him serious damage even if he can get them. Nor wouldthe cigarettes he might smoke be so seriousfi“O i rthings b, with it, and u shall u have is high it aside d hats, of your * ns, and i sharp nd-half nation, ationa,a menace to his welfare if he would only smoke them as he would cigars. The trouble is that as soon as he gets used tocigarette smoking he begins to inhale ths smoke, and presently is fixed in a habitthatrho artChurchshort.i k a* .tji.ce, and • downplays the mischief with him.Whether anything besides tobacoo goes into the ordinary cigarette is a much-discussed question. The cffeot they sometimes produce on the brain is so different from that due to tobacco in other forms as to favor the theory that many of them contain opium or valerion; but this ths manufacturers deny, usually asserting that suoh drugs are too expensive to put into oheap oigerettes, even if it helped their marketable qualities. One thing besides the tobacco obviously goes into them, and that is the paper, the fumes of which are doubtlesa bad tor the throat and lungs as far ae they go.—Harper’s Weekly.To Prevent Cholera Infanta:huntpossiride, of ne the Ipeat*rel S barre calih whileWOUt :werefortyed t•hiveback:my coneice,withour c sledand 1 dngbullefiercetowadeered.wind had deep with wolv Thra had 1 We 1dropm uwontI wilshootdifficandthemthatfrantAted u] kille.gameaism the 6everjshotJustprogihurt the r was 1 out, ont t were ed, b ers, i terrii theirrapicgunpLilt;Miss them them shorn ter, i fire c left 1 caug doctlt; hydr opini pond on tl haveprom like i afteruse cto de those thev galla fromElsashod her r driviance•hip,mindA•aysoocuithe h editc the v eallei■ays,Consftiarei
