FORTY YEARS IN A PILL-BOX.
Foi the Advertiser and Appeal.
“Good morning, Doctor. I hove
called to consult you about tuy
month.”
“Sir, yon are laboring under smok
ers’ and chewers’ ‘aphtha;,’ which is
simply sore month from inordinate
use of tobacco. ”
“Is that so ? Is it possible that to
bacco is that poisonous ? Is this lo
cal or coustitntional ?”
“I will explain. Although tobac
co contains a deadly pcison—nicotine
—the system may tolerate the poison
to a certain limit, and it may be many
years before that limit is reached, but
when it is reached and passed, chron
ic poisouing takes place. The pecul
iar cunditionof each system
causes this limit to vary very much in
different persons, but, as yonr sins
will find you out, so this limit is
bound to be passed by every inordi
nate eliewer and smoker, and about
the time most people arrive at that
time of life when their advanced years
require more ewe and quiet, this
breaking down becomes more grave
and rnpid."
“But, Doctor, I am yet compara
tively young, and I feel no symptoms
of breaking down. My mouth is
sore.”
“That is the point, my dear sir, I
am coming to. It is this; Manufac
turers, apparently not content with the
swiltness of reaching this limit of tol
erance, have adopted the uso of vari
ous drugs aud chemicals to vary fla
vor, color, taste, etc., in order to
please an abnormal public appetite,
already unnaturally excited. Why,
my dear sir, tobacco, like its twin
nauseant, lobelia, is too filthy and dis
gusting for any one with natural taste
or sense to love. Its use is all the
result of artificial taste. Hence these
abominable compounds and disgust
ing prnctices resorted to that it may
be passably toloratod till, like opium
and alcoholic stimulants, the taste is
once acquired. These compounds,
added to the nicotine, in many in
stances prove a local irritant, os in
yonr case. You have regular ulcers—
bad ulcers—bard to cure—liable to
return at uuy moment, unless you quit
this vih:,jUthy habit. You have chron
ic sore thioat—that short cough is
also the result of smoking and chew
ing. That hoarseness and dryness of
throst in the morning is due to the
same cause. After awhile you will
find muscular tremors, vertigo, op
pressed breathing, palpitation of the
heart, loss of memory, blindless, and
even worse symptoms than these—
sometimes epilepsy, hallucination,
softening of the brain—death. At
least nine men out of every ten have
at least from five to ten years of their
lives curtailed by indulgence in this
alarming habit, besides the misery
entailed upon them and their unfor
tunate offspring. Beyond a doubt,
thonMimls of children of tobacco
smokers slid chewers die annually for
want oi puysicul stamina—all the re
sult of bereditun transmission of
poison produced by the use of tobac
co by their parents.”
On the authority of Mr. C. J. Wads
worth, of Rome, there is a mulberry
growing in Floyd county, which six
men cannot reach around, and the
fruit of this tree alono fattened twen
ty-five bogs Inst season.
Coffee county comes before the foot
lights with a remarkable marriage.
The groom is ninety-six years of age,
and the bride only sixteen.
What does a wife sometimes make
a present of to her husband ? She
gives him a bit of her mind.
WASHING A LOVER.
A rainy duv in the country!
Drip, drip, sounded the water in
the barrels under the eaves; patter,
patter, trickled down the rain drops
upon the leaves, syringas and lilac
bashes, and Lacy Dari, sitting in the
window, her round chin resting in
her hands, and her eyes fixed dream
ily on the woods, half hidden in dra
pery mists, began to feel the least bit
in the world bored.
An open letter lay in her lap—a let
ter to which she referred every now
and then, with a pretty, half-puzzled
contraction of her brows.
“Wash and weur,” she repeated to
herself.
“I wonder what Aunt Judith
means? She hopes that which ever
of my suitors I may select may ‘wash
and wear.’ Upon my word that is
likening the lords of creation to a pat
tern of calico or a sun-bonnet.”
And Lucy laughed a little—a very
becoming process which brought out
the dimples around her cherry lips,
and the dew sparkles under her long
auburn lashes.
“I am sure they are born models of
amiability and good temper,” said she
to herself—“that is, as far as I know
of them.”
And then all of a sudden it occurred
to her how little a woman could know
of the actual bona fide habits and
character of a man until she is mar
ried to him.
“Ah, if one could peep behind the
scenes,” thought Lucy. “If one could
only put her lover on trial, for
month, as Aunt Julia takes a servant
girl and discharges her if she don’t
give satisfaction. And then the ‘wash
and wear’ question which gives
Aunt Judith so mneh tribulation,
could bo easily settled. Heigh-ho!
believe I shall marry Eugene Foll-
iette or George Haven. But there is
no use wrinkling up my forehead
about it now - time will decide. In
the mean time, I shall be hopelessly
wearied if I sit here staring at the
rain. I’ll put on my things and run
over to Nell Folliett’s. Eugene, I
know, must have started for the city
long ago.”
It was a pretty, shaded road, deli
rious in the freshness of morning, bnt
rather dripply and dragly just at
present, that led to the old Folliett
mansion—a sturdy erection of gray
stone, with half a dozen honey locusts
keeping guard over it like a band of
sentinels.
Luey Dari, a privileged visitor, did
not ring at the front door bell, but
slipped quietly in at the back door,
and ran to Nellie’s room.
“At home, Nell ?” she cried, tapping
softly on the door.
Of course I’m at home,” said Nell,
brightly, opening the door. “You
dear little rosebud; yon’ve come just
in time to help me about the pattern
for my now polonaise. Isn’t it a
wretched gloomy day ?”
Aud the two girls were presently
deep in the mysteries of bias folds,
knife plaiting and side gores until, all
of a sudden, a surly masculine voice
do.vn the hall cried:
“Where’s my breakfast, I say ? I
want my breakfast. Confound all
you women folks, wby don’t you bring
me breakfast? Am I to starve to
death? Nell! Mother! Como, wide
awake; bring my slippers! Fetch the
newspapers somebody, and look sharp
do yon hear ?”
And the door was- shut again with
emphasis,
• Nell looked at Lacy with a crimson
ing brow. Luey opened wide her in
quiring eyes.
“Ir’s Eugene,” said Nell, iu rather
an embarrassed manner. “He was
unt late last night and be overslept
himself this morning.”
“Oh 1” said Luey, beginning to be
conscious that a flaw existed iu this
patient, mnscnline diamond—that this
pattern of goods “washed” but indif
ferently.
At this moment footsteps harried
by It was the patient and much en
during Mrs. Folliett, bringing up the
tray of toast and tea.
“I wouldn’t wait on a man so," said
Lucy, indignantly.
Presently poor Mrs. Folliett re
turned, with the tray scarcely touch
ed, and stopped in Nell’s room to re
lieve her mind.
“He won’t touch a moutLful be
cause it isn’t smoking hot,” said she,
with a sigh. “He’s crosBer than one
would think possible, and—
But she checked herself abruptly at
the sight of Miss Dari.
“I beg your pardon, my dear; I did
not see you,” said she.
“Ob, don't mind me,” said Lucy,
coloring. “I’m going over to Mrs.
Haven’s a few minutes to see about
fern she promised to get me from
Hartford woods.”
For it had occurred to Miss Lucy
that this was a splendid opportunity
to tost the “washing and wearing'
of the second of her lovers. Folliett
had been weighed in the balance and
found wanting. Now let George Ha
ven take his chance. The Haven cot
tage stood about a mile down the
road—a pretty little honeysookle gar
land affair, and Lacy Dari, fading
rather like a spy, crept np the stairs
(nobody chanced to be in the hall)
and took in Mrs. Haven’s own little
boudoir.
Mrs. Haven had three or four unru
ly ill-cli8eiplined children staying with
her t hat summer—the chiid.ren of an
invalid sister—and Mrs. Haven was
not rich in this world’s goods, like the
Follietts.
As Lucy sat there, wondering
whether a lncky chance was about to
befriend her, as it had befriended her
before, a cheery voice sounded be
low. George had just come in drip
ping, bnt cheerful, from the post-of
fice.
“Hello, mother I What’s the mat
ter. Crying and discouraged! Well,
this will never do in the world 1, Come
little ones, ran to the barn, every one
of you, to play. The fire smokes, does
it ? Well, never mind; I’ll have things
all right in a minute, with a few kind
lings. The fact is, mother, you sit at
home too much, You got nervous. I
must contrive some way of taking you
out to drive every day.”
A sly, dimpled smile came iuto Lu
cy Dari’s face as sbo heard the strange
caressing voice of her lover, bringing
hope aud courage with it, and re
flecting that he was certainly a differ
ent stamp from Engeno Folliette,
whoso dashing manners and city airs
and graces had so nearly captivated
her.
It was quite evident that he wonld
"wash and wear,” according to Annt
Judith’s theory.
“I suppose I am a little nervous at
times, George*” Mrs. Haven answered,
“but I never feel it when you are
here. I don’t know what I wonid do
without a son like you. But if you
over get inurried—”
But Lucy Dari could not stand this
—she felt like a litte innocent eaves
dropper, us she was, and hurried
down stairs.
“You here Lucy,” said Mrs. Haven,
who was busy at her stockings.
"Yon here Miss Darle?” exclaimed
G- orge, who had just brought iu an
armful of fresh kindlings.
“I & .didn't find any one i|> stairs,”
said Lucy, blusbingh, aud looking
painfully consoioas. “1 looked all
over. I’ve just come to ask you if
yon got the root of Hanford fern you
promised me Mrs. Haven ?”
“It’s set out in a flow or pot under
the back kitchen window,” said Mrs.
Haven. “But you’ll stay all day, Lu
cy, dear, now that you are here?”
Miss Lucy did not refuse.
Mr. Eugene lay in bed until eleven,
and read novels. At noon lie came
down stairs.
“Confounded dull here, without a
soul to speuk to,” said lie.
Of course bis mother and nis sister
were outside the pale of civilized hu
manity.
And at sunset, when the crimson
beams of the declining sun broke ra
diantly ont through the parting
clouds, he tied on his best necktie,
and pinned a pink curnntion in his
bntton-hole.,
“I think I’ll go over to Mis. Dari’s
for a little while,” said he.
Yon needn’t,” said astute Nell.
“Why not?”
“Because Lucy was here this morn
ing, and hoard you scolding poor
mamma, and because I saw her go by
just now with George Haven, and
they are engaged.”
“How do you know if”
‘T3y instinct.”
Mr. Folliett mode u grimmace, un
pinned .the cornatiou and stayed at
home.
The engagement became a public
affair the next day, and Lacy Dari
wrote back to her Annt Judith that
she bad accepted a lover whom she
could warrant as an article that would
“wash and wear.”

The Fnrallone Islands, says the
San Frappisco Call, are about thirty
miles from the mouth of .San Francis
co bay, and they are the home of in
numerable sea fowls. When San
Fraucisco first began to he a city its
constant cry was for eggs. To sup
ply the lack of eggs the project of
stealing those of the galls and tnnhrs
of the Farollone Islands was under
taken, and it proved sacoessfnl and
Inis ever since been maintained. The
birds are two plenty to count or to
estimate, as may be inferred from the
fact that the egg gutle rers bring in
often 500 dozen a day, and'a great
many of the nests are inaccessible, a
great many others devastated by the
rivalry of the birds themselves, and
of course a large part of the birds at
one time are' not laying. The egg
season is from May to August, and,
if even 400 dozen is the rule, the har
vest would be pretty near 500,000
cgu's. Tho qunrroling between the
gulls aud muhrs leads to the loss of
a good maDy muhrs’ eggs, which the
gulls at every chance destroy. The
egg business is eondueted by u com
pany, which has the right. It pays
egg-gatherers five cents a dozen, and
sells them in San Francisco at a con
siderable advance.
An Italinn has invented a process
for solidifying wine. He claims that
from a email quantity of the extract
a bottle of wine of good taste aud col
or may be obtained. A chemist of
Marseilles has also discovered a
chemical combination by which be
can solidify and even crystahse bran
dy, from which good liquor in its
original form onn be readily obtained.
The object, in both instances, is to
victual ships and supply armies where
the risk of breakage and Hie matter
of transportation of bulk are objects
to be considered in the nee of these
beverages.
