THE MORG ANTON STAR, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1888.
During the year ending with the clos
of last June, we are informed that about
1.700.000.000 ciirarettes were sold in this
country an enormous increase over the j
year before. At this rate, says the New j
York Star, the small boy will disappear !
from history about January 1, 189S.
Bell Telephone stock, with a parvalut
of $1C0 a sliare, is selling at $390. II
pays 15 per cent, dividends and is
supposed to earn about SO per cent. Tli
largest block of the stock is held by tht
invenlor and his wife. Another large
holder is Forbes, the Boston capitalist,
who has. a controlling interest in the
Burlington road and is father-in-law oJ !
Perkins, the road's President.
The Albany Argut says that a crusade
against cigarette smoking has been in
augurated along the Hudson River, and
what is termed "a moral boycott" is the
instrument used to bring about the de
sired result. Physicians sav the number
of cases of serious illness traceable to the I
pernicious effects of cigarette smoking is
very large, and that it is high time to
call a halt. Results of the crusade can be
seen in Kingston, Poughkeepsie, Xew-
burg, etc., where signs are displayed:
"No Cigarettes Sold to Boys Here." The
movement is being warmly indorsed by
clergymen, educators and others.
f In the Directory to the Iron and Steel
."Works of the United States, just issued
by the American Iron and Steel Associa
tion, it is said that "thirty furnaces are
now under construction, and of these
nineteen are being built in Alabama
(seventeen to use coke and two to use
charcoal), three in Tennessee, two in
Maryland, two in Ohio, and one each in
Pennsylvania, Virginia, Michigan and
Wisconsin." Thus out of a total of
thirty furnaces actually building at pres
ent, twentyrfive are in the Southern
States. In addition to these, a number
of others are projected, some of which I
will doubtless be built in the near future.
The Xew York Miil and Krjrcss says
that "the shipment of Florida oranges to
Europe, which was attempted for the
first time this winter, has resulted mo?t
satisfactorily. About 1,600 boxes of the
fruit were sent over during November
and December, when the markets of Eng
land and Scotland are almost entirely
without oranges, as the Spanish and
Italian fruit was not yet ripe. The
prices obtained were such that after all
the transportation charges and commis
sions were paid, the net returns to the
growers exceeded tho?e Va the same
grades of oranges sold in this city. The
fruit became very popular on the other
side, as it is much sweeter than any Eu
ropean oranges."
Several of the drug shop owners in
New York say that the number of lauda
num drinkers is increasing, and that
there is less effort to crmcal the habit
now tha a there was fomerly. An in
stance tending to b-ar out ths assertion
was noticed m n apothecary's the other
night, wuen a weil-dresscd yo-:ng man
asked in the careless and casual tones of
one asking for whiskey at -r-ar for forty
drops of laudanum in a i'.ttle vicby.
"Not w',:houf a prescrijition,'' replied
the e'erk, and the young man jabbered
for fifteen minutes telling the clerk that
it was all right and that he was accus
tomed to the drug, and he finally de
parted nervously angry because the clerk
refused his request.
J. Hatch, the best engraver in the
government bureau of engraving and
printing in "Washington, has resigned
owing to the small salary, and has taken a
place with the Western Bank Note Com
pany of Chicago at a high salary. He
is a young man, aud one of the best en
gravers in the United States. The
Washington' says of him: "Hatch
was discovered by George B. McCartee, j
the late chief of the bureau, in the little
town of Salem, N. Y., where he was

One of Mr. Hatch's early tasks was to
make a reduced copy of a portrait of
Bryant, which, Charles Burt had then
recently engraved for a memorial of the
poet's works, aid for which he had been
paid a very large sum. It was one of
Burt's best e .Torts, and no finer specimen
of the engraver's art could have been
found as 'copy.' Young Hatch suc
ceeded in producing a portrait of Bry
ant, that for art skill amazed every one.
Mr. Burt, who lived in Brooklyn, and
rarely came to .Washington, was dis
pleased when he first saw the picture,
but when he met the young engraver his
displeasure was lost in astonishment.
From that time, about ten vears a-o
young Hatch has remained in the bureau,
and every year has brought with it for
him new ach"evexeut3 and increased
compensation. Recent specimens of his
vrork are portraits of Garfield on the
new $5 national currency note and of
Grant on the $5 silver certificate," and as
showing his versatility of talent he de
signed and engraved the 'picture work'
Dn the Dack of the $3 silver certificate,
as well as other work of a similar char
acter on notes lately issued by the Treas-ary."
Consumption a Foul-Air D;s2ase.
The reat anatomist, Langenbeck, after
extensive exploration of small-pox ca
davera, wrote: "Speaking only of my
primary object, I must confess that I am
no wiser than before. But, though tue i
mystery of small-pox has eluded my ,
search, my labors have not been in vain;
they have revealed to me something else

now of what I suspected long ago
namely, that pulmonary diseases are
nearly exclusively (if we accept tuber
culous tendencies inherited from both
parents, I say quite exclusively) pro-

duced by the breaking oi ioui air.
lungs of all persons, miners included, who
had worked for some years in close work
shops and dusty factories, showed the
germs of the fatal disease ; while even
confirmed inebriates who had passed
their days in open air had preserved their
respiratory organs intact, whatever in
roads their excesses had made on the
rest of their system. If I should go into
practice, and undertake the cure of a
consumptive, I should begin by driving
him out into the Deister (a densely
wooded mountain range of Hanover)
and prevent him from entering a house
for a year or two." But it is quite
possible to make the air of houses as pure
and fresh as the "Deister," or more so,
and it is the only thing that will put in
door people (including women, who are
practically everybody in the end) on
equal terms af health with out-door peo
ple. Th3 Highest Waterfalls in lha Wcrld.
According to Dr. "Wertsch, the highest
waterfalls are the three Krimbs Falls, in
the upper Prinzgau, which have a total
! height of 1,143 leer. The three falte
next in height are found in Scandinavia
the Verma Foss, in Iiornsdal (OS I
feet) ; the Vettis Foss, on the Sogne
Fjord (853 feet) ; the lljukau Foss, in
Thelemarken (SO 1 feet). With a decrease

Falls (591 feet), near Zcrni, the birth
place of the historian Tacitus, follow
next, and are suc:ecded by the three
Tossa Falls, in the Val Formazza (541
feet). The Gastcin Falls, in the Gastein
Valley (IG'J feet), are midway between
the Skjaggedal Foss, in the Hardanger
Fjord (524 feet), ond the Boring Foss, in
the same fjord. The great Anio Cascade,
near Tivoli (315 feet), appears small by
the side of the foregoing, but is still
larger than the Falls of the Elbe -in the
Ptiesengebirge, which are only 148 feet
high. If the width of the falls is taken
A Fisherman's Te'ephans.
On some parts of the Coast of Sumatra
and the neighboring islands the fisher
men test the depth of the sci and also
the nature of the sea bottom by the
noises they hear on applying the ear to
one end of aa oar of which the other end
is plunged in the water.
At a depth of twenty feet and less the
sound is a crepitation similar to that pro
duced when salt is thrown on burning
charcoal; at fifty feet it is like the tick
ing of a watch, the tic tac being more
or less rapid according to whether the
bottom is entirely of coral or alternately
of coral ond mud or of sand.
If the bottom is entirely of sand the
sound is clear; if of mud, it resembles
the humming of a swarm of bees. ' On
dark nights the fishermen select their
fishery grounds according to these in
dications. Science Goadv.

It w as at Bayou Metre that the famous
duel between the late General Marma
duke, of Missouri, and General Marsh
Walker took place, in wnieh the latter
was kjllei. The duel was fought at J
sunriSC) seven miles south of Little Hock. I
One version of the affair is that General
Marmaduke during the battle was hard
pressed on the field and sent for General
Walker at his headquarters to know what
he should do, as "Walker was the senior
in command. "Walker visited the field,
but left soon after, and Maimadukc
made a remark which came to "Walker's
ears.
General "Walker was determined to kill
Marmaduke, and at the word brought his
pistol down, and carefully and deliber
ately took accurate aim, but Marmaduke
simply threw his p" tol out and fired at
once.
The discharge made "Walker flinch, as
the bravest man will do under similar
circumstances, and spoiled his aim, so (

Tha Ruins of a Submerged City.
A city at the bottom of the sea was
seen near Treptow, in Prussia, when a
powerful south wind blew the waters of
! the Baltic away from the shore, uncovering
a portion of ground usually hidden away
from sight by the waves. It was the ruins
of the city of Regamuende, once a flourish
ing commercial station, which was
swallowed by the sea some five centuries
ago. The unusual spectacle was not en
joyed but for a few hours, when the storm
slackened and the waves returned to
cover up the place which had once been
the residence and field of labor of busy
men. Chicajo A?r.

A recent letter says that of fifty leading
business men in one of our Eastern cities
and of the fifty leading business men
of one of our western cities three-fourths of
them are Christians. The fact is that about
all the brain and the business genius is on
the side of religion. Infidelity Is incipient La
sanity. All infidels are cranks. Many of
them talk brightly, but you soon find that in
their mental machinery there i3 a screw
loose. When they are not lecturing against
Christianity they are sitting In birroom
squirting tobacco juice, and when thev get

be buried with his Christian wife and

such burial replied: "If there be a resurrec

be, my . Christian wife and daughter will
someho .v get me up and take me along with
them.';
Men may pretend to despise religion, but
they are rank hypocrates. The sea captain

I do say is that if a man have notl.ing but
social position and financial resources, a
woman who puts h?r happiness by marriage
in his hand re-enacts the folly of Abigail
vhen she accepted disagreeable KaUal,
"whose possessions were In Carmel ; and the
man was very great, and he had three thou

If there be good moral character accom
