Teople who Should not Smoke.
In an trtiole on the medioal aspect of
gmoking tobacoo in the Food Journal,
Dr. E. B. Gray asks :
"Is smoking injurious?" This is an
every day question apt to be put by
patient to their doctors. Like most
broad questions of the kind, it involves
far too many considerations to admit of
being answered by a plain yes or no. A
medical man, who has long 'bfeett'a'-moderate
smoker, and watched the effect of
the habit on himself and others, here
offers what he believes to be the true
answer to the question.
First of all, there must be an under
standing about the quality of the tobac
co to be smoked. Bad namely, rank,
quickly intoxicating, and prostrating
tobacco (certain kinds of shag and caven
dish, for instance) must always be in
jurious. Few can Bmoke them at all
none, habitually at least with im
punity. So, too, with regard to quantity,
even good tobacco smoked to excess will
to a certainty be injurious to the smoker,
sooner or later, in some way or other.
Of the various evil efforts of excessive
smoking, more will be said presently,
Next, as to the smokers. There are
people to whom any tobacoo, however
smoked, is simply poison, causing, even
in small doses, vomiting, pallor, and
alarming prostration. Such people
never get seasoned to its effects, even
after repeated trials; and if they are
the.v will forever let it alone. They
will display still further wisdom by not
presuming to make laws for others who
him not the same idiosvnerasv.
No one can enjoy smoking, or smoke
with impunity, when out of health. The
phrase ' out of health," though it may
sound vague, is dt finite enough to frame
a general rule. At the same time, it is
nanfnl to know what, if any, are the
particular disorders and conditions of
health in which tobacco does special
harm. As far as the writer's knowledge
goes, these have never been specified by
medical writers as clearly as is desirable.
To begin, a man with a bad appetite
will, if he smoke, most assuredly eat still
less a noteworthy fact for smokers or
j. i .jn
others recovering irom wasting muera
or " off their feed " from whatever cause.
This effect of tobacco by the way, while
an evil to the sick man who cannot eat
enough, becomes a boon to tho starved
man who cannot get enough to eat;
an ample illustration of this was furnish
ed among the French and German
soldiers in the recent war. Again, no
man should smoke who has a dirty
tongue, a bad taste in his mouth, or a
weak or disordered digestion. In any
such case, he cannot relish his tobacco.
It should be a golden rule with smokers,
that the pipe or cigar which is not
smoked with relish had better not be
smoked at all. Indigestion in every
shape is aggravated by smoking, but
most especially that form of it common
ly known as atonio and accompanied
with flatulence. Diarrhoea, as a rule, is
made worse by smoking.
One of the commonest and earliest
effects of excessive or untimely smoking
is to make the hand shake. This gives
the clue to another class of persons who
ousht not to smoke persons, namely,
who have weak, unsteady nerves, and
suffer from giddiness, confusion ot sight,
- tremulous hands, tendency to stammer,
or any such symptoms. And if tobacco
does harm in mere functional weakness,
still less allowable is it in actual organic
disease of the system ; as, for instance,
where there exiBts any degree of paralysis
or other sign of degenerative change in
the brain or spinal cord. The improper
use of tobacco does beyond question
somehow interfere with due nutrition of
nerve substance. An illustration of this,
familiar to oculists and medical men, is
the so-called tobacco amaurosis, a fail
nre of vision occuring in excessive
smokers from mal-nutrition of the retina.
Another class of persons who ought not
to smoke are those who have weak or
unsteady circulations and complain of
such trouble as palpitation, cardiao
Eain, intermittent pulse, habitually cold
ands and feet, or chronio languor.
Lastly, there is reason for believing
that the habitual use of tobacco is
likely to retard the due growth and de
veloDment of the body. If so, no one
should become a smoker till he is well
past the period of puberty. Boys, more
over, have no excuse for smoking, for
they are spared the hard wear and tear
of adult lite.
Now, after eliminating those who
from idiosyncrasy cannot, and those who
from bodily ailment or from tender
years should not smoke, there will still
always be a large residuum of happy folk
who can smoke, enjoy smoking, and are
indeed the better for it. These are they
who nse tobacco without abusing it-
use it, that is to say, in moderate quan
tity, in due season, and honestly for the
sake of the comfort which it gives them
a comfort every bit as legitimate as
that which drinkers of tea, coffee, or
wine extract in each case from their
favorite beverage.
The Slrngglo for Existence.
All plants and animals tend to in
crease in a bigb geometrical proportion,
and the old problem of the nails in the
horse's shoe teaches na what an astound
ing affair is m geometrical rate of in
crease. Man is relatively a very slow
breeder, yet, if the population of the
United States were to go on increasing
at its present rate for OS 7 years, it would
cover the whole terraqueous globe so
thickly that four men would have to
stand on erven square yara or surtaoe.
But this is a mere bagatelle. When we
consider the reproductive capaoity of in
sects and plants, the nails in the horse's
shoe are left nowhere. When Arctic
travellers tell us that the minute proto-
ooccus multiplies so fast as to color blood
red many acres ot snow in one night,
such a rate of increase appears aston
ishing. ' But it is a mere trifle compared
to what would bappen if reproduction
were to go on unchecked. A plant
yielding one hundred seeds yearly would
in twenty years, if all the seeds were to
reach maturity, produce ten duodecil-
lions of adult plants I As this is one of
those stupendous figures before which
the imagination stands hopelessly baf
fled, let us try the effect of an illustra
tion. Supposing each of these plants to
be from three to five inches in length, so
that about twenty thousand would reach
a mile, the whole number just mentioned
would reach to a distance fifteen qua tril
lion times as great as that whioh is sup.
posed to separate the earth from the re
motest telescope star. The ray of light
which passes from the sun to the earth
in eight minutes, would be-750 thousand
millions of millions of centuries in pass
ing this line of little plants ! And in
similar wise I think it might be shown
of many insects, that their unchecked re
production could not long go on with
out requiring the assimilation of a great
er amount of matter than is contained
in the whole solar system. We may now
begin faintly to realize how prodigious
is the slaughter which unceasingly goes
on throughout the organic world. We
may now understand what is meant by
the " struggle for existence." Battles

The "Seven Dials."
This is the name given to a hard lo
cality in London, similar to the Five
Points in New York. Every great city
has its grotesque forms of vice and
misery : so many pens have touched
upon them that one almost recoils from
them : but London's street life furnishes
types which exist in no other city, and
could flourish under no civilization save
that which could necessitate such
satire as ' Ginx's Baby." This locality
in the west part of London affords one
of the worst places, probably, that civi
lization shines upon ; and it is a section
through which one must go daily, if he
lives in or above Oxford Street, and de
sires to arrive at the Strand. In this
section of the Seven Dials, the streets
are at all seasons of the year filled with
a species of thick, black mud ; there is
an unpleasant flavor of decaying animals
in all the region round about, the houses
are mean and very dirty ; so are the
women and children ; the sun rarely
ever penetrates there; and there are
numberless humble bake shops, where
nameless compounds are concocted for
the poor. The people themselves seem
of the very lowest class: they say but
little to each other, and what they do
say is usually unfriendly. Street fights
are of daily, nay, almost hourly oocur
renoe, in some parts of this choice local
itv. and to common are they that peopli
do not look cut of the window to see
who has been worsted. There is a West
ern insousiance about this which some
people find charming, but which really
can on It distrust. In the Seven Dials,
people seem to know but very little of

How to Imtrovh a Farm. Many of
our farmers spend money freely in pur
chase of special manffTes guano, super
phosphates, bone dust, gypsum, etc.,
and usually nnd, or think they do, that
they realize a profit by it. I do not
wish to say one word to discourage them
from a continuance of the practice ; but
I would advise them to be a little more
careful in their experiments and statistics.
If a farmer puts a hundred dollars
worth of either of those special manures,
or any other manures that drain bis
pocket of the dollars, he should be able
to ascertain that he gets his money back
with a profit on it ot at least twenty per
cent, to pay for his labor and risks. He
can only ascertain this by cultivating a
measured port of the same field without
manure of any kind, giving it the same
oare and attention as the portion ma
nured. After he shall have done this
and measured or weighed the crops, a
little arithmetio will bring out all the
facts ; there should be no guess work or
hope bo about it.
If a merchant invests a portion of his
capital in any description of goods he
will know when these goods are disposed
of, whether he has gained or lost by the
operation; if the speculation has been
unsuccessful he will seek some other in
vestment for his capital. To bo a suc
cessful farmer it requires as much
shrewdness as that of a merchant or any
other pursuit in life.
Now, brother farmers, allow me here
to be a littlo critical. You will ac
knowledge that there is no manure that
you can buy, that will givo such satis
factory results as the manure made in
your own barn yards. Will it always
bring the aLSwer wet season, or ary
season P Yes, then, why do you not
make more of it ' or, why do you not
take better care of what you do make Y
I have seen some of your manure heaps
levelled out to a feather edge, which
edges should have bien shovoled up into
a compact heap, bo as to expose as small
a surface as possible to rain and sun
shine. These remarks will apply as well
to your milking and feeding yards as to
the main manure neap.
Tho Leghorns are valuable breed.
X bey are good layers, meaium-sizea, ana
the chicks tolerably hardy. They are
pure white.
The Garnet are fair layers ; the chicks
hardy, though in a less degree than the
Asiatics. For the table they sui j.ass all
other fowls. Their flesh is more juicy
and better flavored, and they are always
fat. While the young of other breeds
will not take on fat, and are unfit for the
table until nearly grown, Game chicks
are fat when quite small, and always re
main in that condition. There are
many different breeds of Game, some
handsome, some otherwise. For beauty
none can equal the Sumatra Fheasant
Games. They are excellent layeri, pa
tient setters and careful mothers. The
chicks are hardy and easily reared.
They can fly like a bird, and an ordin
ary fence is no obstaole in their way to
any garden. Nor oan they be surpassed
as scratchers. These are their objection
able features. But they have no equal,
even among the Games for the pot.
They are, however, not considered dead
game, hence they are discarded by those
who breed Games for the pit.
The new French breeds Houdan,
Lafleche, and Creve Occur, we have not
tested ourselves, but hear them spoken
of by those who have, as excellent lay
ers. The Bantams are only ornamental.
The Seabrights Silver and Golden
are the handsomest.
We have a cross between the Brabmas
and Sumatra Pheasant Games, which
we consider superior to any pure breed
ever bred by us. Tbey are a largo size,
weighing from 15 to ZU pounds a pair,
excellent layers, unsurpassed as setters
and mothers; chicks as hardy as the
pure Asiatics. They are not as clumsy
as the pure Asiatics, but cannot ny over
a fence four feet high. For the table,
they are equal to pure Games. They
nave all the points wuaout tne objec
tionable ones, of both parent breeds.
No fowls or eggs for sale.
In conclusion, then, it eggs are tne
principal object, Bolton Greys, or a
cross between them and some other
good variety, will give the best results ;
if fowls for the table, then the Games
or some cross with them, will be most
satisfactory. A cross bttween the Asia
tic and Games, between the Asiatic and
Bolton Greys, or between the uames
and Bolton Grevs would be better

Building Societies are even moro de-
veloned out of London than in it. Lan
cashire alone is estimated to have 1,428
societies, with nearly 60,000 members ;
but these are the imperfect returns, ana
the number should probably be doubled.
In the town of Burnley there are 3,000
members of building societies, owning
about 1150,000 worth of property ; in
Oldham there are 66 societies, each con
taining, on the average, 100 shares worth
120 each, or nearly 800,000, which
may be considered the property acquired
every fifteen years ; in xuancnesier,
Ashton. and other places, Building So
cieties manifestly play an important
part, the chief supporters, according to
unanimous testimony, Deing too " mm

England. Newcastle, Sunderland, .Liver

Mutilated $5 bills are in circulation
so ingeniously manipulated as to pass
without detection, unless attention is
specially directed to them. The follow
ing description of the process of mutila
tion, given by I'eterson s JJeteclor, makes
detection easy: The "dodge" consists
in making ten bills out of nine, and is
so managed that there is but one past-
ins to each of the manufactured notes.
The nine whole bills are taken, and
from thn right of the first one-tenth is
sliced olt ; irom the right ot the second
two-tenths ; from the right ot the third
three-tenths, and so on to number nine,
from which nine-tenths are taken from
the richt. or what amounts to the same
thing, one-tenth from the left. Number
one is passed as it is, with a tenth gone
from the right: the one-tenth taken
from number one is pasted to the residue
of number two, from which two-tenths
had been taken: these two-tenths are
made to answer the place of the three
tenths taken from number three, and so
l throuch. Thus nine fo notes are
completed, leaving the original uumber
nine, with a tonth gone from th 1 fr, s
a tenth note. It will be seen tun' ut a
tenth is gone from each bill, ai. d u
