I EFFECT OF TEA CIGARETTES. - I Tbry Give One a Sensation of Tliickanliit; In tlio lii'iul. j Ono i-f the most injurious mid dangcr- . ous of new fibhions is the tea cigarette. - ■ Thai this is no empty, baseless story i f , a new* raze is shown by the application . made last we. !c to the cpininissio iev of' intermil revenue nt xV.ishinglori for per-, , mission to iminufuture tea cigarettes in : Michigan.

This would bo practically I ; impossible, as the sharp edges of the tea i would cut the paper in all. -directions, spoil the draft and render the cigarettes unsmokable. To make the tea cigarette one takes a I grade of grei u tea which has but little! dust, being composed ( >f unbroken leaf, ; and dampens ii car< fully, just enough to ' P‘ermit the l.av*'s to lie ..unrolled with-' out being broken, and so as to be left pliable and callable < f b-'ing stuffed in 4ae ]:ap' r cylinu-T, while th" da^ipness! is nut to stain tiie paper.
