Not a few physicians regard much , of the invalidism, and also the pos positive - itive positive ill-health of wornem as due to . the poisoned atmosphere created around them by the smoking mem members - bers members of the household. A gentleman in a Saratoga hotel i said to a doctor: "See that portly man yonder smoking like a volcano? He stands the racket; smoking doesn't kill him." "No, but he is killing his wife See her by r his side; pale, shriveled, tremulous, sinking into the grave. So tar as health is concerned, she might as well have wedded a cask of tobacco." A French journal reports the case of a farmer, who. with two compan companions, - ions, companions, smoked one evening in a chamber where a young man was asleep. When, at midnight, the visitors withdrew, the farmer found the youth insensible. A doctor was . J , I summoned, but all efforts for his restoration were fruitless.. At the post-mortem't was pronounced that he had died of congestion of the brain, caused by the respiration of tobacco smoke during sleep. Soldiers sometimes purposely dis dis! - ! dis! able themselves for service by ap applying - plying applying these leaves to the pit of the arm, thus inducing alarming spmp spmptoms. - toms. spmptoms. A squadron of hussars hid tobacco in their breasts for smug smuggling - gling smuggling purposes. Every mm of them was seized with headache, virtigo and vomiting. Cases are recorded every now and then, showing that life is sudderly extinguished by a moderate of nicotine intro introduced - duced introduced into the system, or even by the moistened tobacco lea ves applied over the stomach. Set an open bottle containing a ^4 °C nicotine (the pro- duct of a part of one cigaf^.^ l ^ under an inverted jar.

And this same poison-ladened atmosphere is that which we find everywhere, and from which there is no escape. Hold white paper over tobacco smoke; and when the cigar is con consumed, - sumed, consumed, scrape the condensed smoke from the paper and put a very small amount on the tongue of a cat; in a few minutes it will die of paralysis. Put a tobacco victim into a hot bath; let him remain there till a free perspiration takes place; then drop a fly into the water (after it has cooled) and instant death will ensue. Pack a tobacco user in a wet sheet, and when he is taken out the whole room will be filled with the odor of rotten tobacco. No wonder that wolves, buzzards ar.d cannibals retreat in disgust from the flesh of such a man! Franklin found that if the oil floating on the surface of w r ater when a stream of tobacco smoke has passed through it, be applied to the tongue of a cat, it shortly causes death.

There is a paper published at Hot Springs called the Arkansas Tonias Cat. Its nititlo is ''God help the rich, the poor can beg." It deciaresit is a paper ' of the peo people, - ple, people, for the people, and to be paid for by the people." It advocates 5 /one country, one flag and one wife at a time" and declares that it is in favor of the elevatson of horse thieves and public morals. I - ~ Big Mining Deal. The Kingman Mineral Wealth of Rumors are thick on the streets that Thos. Ewing of San Francisco, has purchased the Connor and Min Minnesota - nesota Minnesota mines near Chloride for $250,000 cash, and also bonded Judge Murphy's Pay Roll mine, making a payment down. Mr. Ewing has returned home to com complete - plete complete the arrangements, and will be back in a few days to complete the transfer and to put a large force of men at work on his purchases. The Minnesota and Connor are the best developed mines in Chloride section, and show bodies of ore hardly equaled in Arizona. It is said the body fs sixteen feet wide at the 200- foot level, and the length is known to be several hundred leet. A 10- ' stamp concentrator mill is in opera-1 tion at the mine working continu-1 ously. John Barry is the owner of the Minnesota and is interested with Minnesota parties in the Connor. Mr. Barry has been at the mines for many years developing them from prospects to mines of great value. These mines are opened enough so that reo or more men can work to advantage, and it is very likely that the purchasers will work them for all they are worth. The Pay Roll is not so well developed, but what; development has been done on it has increased the size and grade of, the ore. Several inches of the ore-; body averages 10 ounces in gold and the whole mass averages well in gold, silver and lead. These trans transfers - fers transfers are the most important that has taken place iu the history of Mo- i have county with the exception of j the White Hills mines.

The paragraph was a bit of sarcasm poked mortlv in fun at the legal profession, and "J H. <V retorts: " ' S nne people - feather-headed peo people - never - ple - never people - never let up slurring lawyers.

But there are hoggish lawyers, and plenty of them, about as many in proportion to the sum total as there are 'feather-headed' editors. But putting all epithets aside, it is a fact that there are a class of law yers wqo have gained the name of being thoroughly in sympathy with the plan of working c ses for everything possible, ju t as there is a class of editors who have gained the reputation of shattering the truth at every opp >rtunity.
