The superintendent of sehools in Pbiladulphia has been gath ering the statistics of cigarette smoking among the boys in the public schools of that ( ivy and finds that 20,000 of them are addicted to the h ibit. The es timate is based on a positive re port of more than 6,000 cases, but even suppose that the figure is cut in two, 10,000 boys in the publio schools of Philadelphia smokiug cigarettes will m ke many a grown min stop to think. , The use of tobacco is very prevalent ai.d those who have reached their majority in sist that it does them no- barm and aff irds tbe:n much plt'a-ur atl of which to a oortain degree is true, though exceis in that as in everything else is dangerous. There is, however, in no phase or aspect of tho case any justi fication for ten or twenty thou sand bovs in the publio schools even in eo large a city as Phila delphia, to te smoking cigar ette. In Indiana they have a new law which abolishes the cigarettes from the state alto gether, and the Philadelphia figures would seem to justify this rather remarkable piece of legislation. There is no g itting away from the proposition that a boy will be a great deal better off for not using tobacco In any form. It is a matter for the parents to attend to, bat in very many cases they seem un able to regulate it. BRICK BU Brick furnished Jin any quanity or any style. No contract ton small or too large.

Every one in the city abonld organise, him or herself into a rastling committee and ascer tain if possible if anyone, in their immediate - neighborhood baa been missed by the census enumerators.. The point-is, if we can legitimately swell the present number just a few we will be classed in the 4000 class. When it comes to ascertainiug population, abroad, it is the whole, numbers, that count, not the fractions. To illustrate the government census in 1900 gave L Grande .2991, ame more names would have clas3d us in the 3000 list. It is quite pos sible at tbiotime if we all took an interest we will shine in (he 4000 claB8. A Y S i L E The Chicago strike is vsomt thiug like Fiunigan'a car.
