But, 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 dis-retion to smoke them at all without smoking them to a deleterious extohfc. Of courso it is primarily becauso they are so cheap that they appeal so generally to boys; but even 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 smoko cigars or pipe tohaceo enough to do him serious damage, oven if ho can get them. Nor would the cigarettes ho might smoko he so serious a menace to his welfaro if ho could only smoko them as lie would smoko cigars. Tho trouble is that as soon as bo gets used to cigarette smoking lie begins to inhale the smoke, and presently is lixod in a habit that plays the mischief with him.Whether any tiling besides tobacco goes into ordinary cigarettes is a inuch-discussed mention. The effect they sometimes pro-( ucc on tho brain is so ditferent from that duo to tobacco in other forms as to favor the theory that many of them contain opiumor valerian; but this tho manufacturers deny, usually asserting that such drugs are too oxpi nsive to put into cheap cigarettes, even if it helped their marketable qualities. One thing besides the tobacco obviously goes into them, and that is the paper, tho fumes of which are doubtless bad for thothroat and hums ms far lt;-,s tVv go.T i ^ 4 (J f a I i.. I
