’ ’ . | ve Facts About Uigaretios, g last year the collections of in- ternal revenue from cigarettes alone amounted to considerably over a million dollars, The increase of the consump- tion of these deadly small articles since the year before is sufficiently startling. The added revenue from them for the year ending June 30, 1880, was §ld44.- 467.6: Let us look now at the number of cigar- ettes this increase implies. During last year the boys, young men and a few | women and old men consumed 2.1561, 515,300 of these littlo paper rolls, ar as that is concerned, there are boys not yet grown who sometimes smoke as many as sixty cigarettes in a day The plain fact is that while the population of the country increased perhaps a willion and a half last year, the consumption of cigarettes increased nearly 300,000,000 It is shown by the internal revenue re port Now as to the effects of constant cigar ette smoking. First, as is sufficiently es- tablished, it creates a thirst for what has been called *‘the indiscriminate and use- less consumption of liquors.” Next, all cigarettes contain, according to Profes sor Laflin, five distinct and separate poisons. Three of these poisons are oils one in the paper wrapper, another in the nicotine of the tobacco itself, and a third in the flavoring material. poisons are saltpeter and opium The cigarette smoker draws the smoke into his lings and puffs it out again through his nostrils. If he were to blow it through a white handkerchief before inhaling it it would stain the handker chief brown. This left continually upon his own throat and he other stain is brown lungs, and it is a poison, or rather the | essence of all the five poisons mixed. In time it stains his complexion, too The cigar is not so bad as the cigarette, because it contains only one poison, nico- tine.

There is still, if we are not mistaken, a large unclaimed reward which was once offered for an invention that would en- able canal boats to travel rapidly. Per haps electricity is the solution of the difficulty Occasionally Providence does some | * thing exactly right, even in the estima- tion of a sharp business man. One of these times was when he placed a vast and rich deposit of petroleum in the Rocky mountains nearly a mile above sea level, whence it can simply flow through pipes over any distance with. out having to be pumped. This new find is in British Columbia. The government survey for irrigation purposes will include the land lying be- tween-the mountains along the Pacific const or a short distance inland from it, and what is called the line of twenty inch rainfall on the east. Every dis trict getting less than twenty inches of rain will be included in the arid lands tract. The twenty inch rainfall extends from Bismarck, D. T., to Corpus Christi, Tex.
