Wm. Morrison, after chewing tobacco for forty-flve years has succeeded by the use of "Coblentz's Oxygen Tobacco Cure" to destroy his appetite for the vile weed. Others have tried it with the same result. Tobacco is a poison to the young, and is far more ^hurtful to the adult than is generally supposed. It may be stated, as a rule, that .there are]£ew persons who use it habitually that do not suffer^injury from it. The injury is mainly caused by what is'known as "nicotine," one of the narcotic poisons, and particularly prominent in tobacco. Tobacco is never necessary it is always hurttul to boys and young men,.to weak people, and those, disposed to consumption. Did you ever know a person £who used it habitually who would advise_ another to?do the same? Tobacco is|certainly not a good«food for a man, nor has it much Rvalue as a medicine. The tobacco worm is the only animal known to thrive upon it. All good citizens should try to put a stop to the general, "invasion of tobacco, which threatens to| involve the whole of America in a dense cloud of smoke.

UNDER THE DAISIES.
I
've Just been learning the lesson of life, The sad, Bad lesson of loving, And all of its powers for pleasure or pain
Been slowly and sadly proving. And all that's left of tbe bright, bright dream, With its thousand brilliant phases, Is a handful of dust in a coffin hid,
A coffin under the daisies. The beautiful, beautiful daisies.
And thus forever throughout this wide world Is love a sorrow proving There are still many sorrowful things in life,
1
constructed of stone and front
But the saddest of all is loving. The life of some is worse than death, For fate a high wall oft raises, And far bettor than life with Wo hearts estranged
Is a low grave starr'd with daisies. The beautiful, beautiful daisies. —Harrison Millard in Philadelphia Times.
HER MOTHER-IN-LAW
Ned Cbatterton was a good deal of a mother's boy—that is to say, such a warm affection existed between mother and son that it was remarkable in this day of filial laxity.
So when it became known that Adelaide Westcott was engaged to him, her many friends grew solicitous in warning her as to the course she should pursue in regard to her future mother-in-law. "When a mother has always had such complete ascendency over a son, it is always a hard matter to make her recognize a wife's right, and if this is to be done, positive measures must be employed from the first." So her friends said, and her own mother gave her some good advice in the same line, while her sister Nell deplored the necessity of having mothers-in-law and reviewed all the traditions in regard to those very undesirable personages.
With so much instruction Adelaide became also imbued with very positive notions on the subject. Of course, he was an only son and his mother a widow, but she could never consent to live in the same house with the elder woman. If all was to go well, she was to begin right. Of course, Ned loved his mother, but matrimony would put him under new obligations. At her first opportunity she explained it all to him and insisted that they should keep a separate establishment.
Ned looked pained, but he said: "I shall do as you say in the matter, Adelaide, though I had looked forward to a very happy companionship between you and my little mother. She is not hard to get along with, I know, and she could nave helped you so much with her advice and counsel in the household affairs."
But Adelaide showed him how a mother-in-law, by her very love and preference for her son, might cause dissension between husband and wife.
Perhaps he was not convinced, but he yielded the point and they were married. All of Adelaide's friends congratulated her upon her good sense, and behind his back praised Ned for his consideration in sparing his wife the presence of a mother-in-law. But he gave himself the satisfaction of setting up housekeeping within a block of the mother he loved.
Sometimes at night, when he and Adelaide sat lonely by the fire, he thought of his mother and wished that she might be with them, but on the whole they were happy and no morbid thoughts entered his brain, for he believed that in time Adelaide's own good sense would triumph over the prejudices aroused by officious friends. But this
twas
his mother's wisdom. There were times when the elder Mrs. Chatterton wept a little that she was denied the daily vision of her son's joy, but she said nothing and kept her tears to herself. Ned was very faithful and dutiful, but she did not go often to the house, because her presence always seemed to put Adelaide in a mood of defense almost bordering on aggression. The young woman meant to be understood, and plainly understood, that she would tolerate the interference in her affairs of no mother-in-law.
And so the months passed. In the first glow of connubial joy Ned had neglected his club, hut as time went on and the household began to move in the accustomed routine he began occasionally to drop in and spend a social hour with his man friends. At first it was but once in two or three weeks and only an hour or two then. Then he went more frequently and staid later.
Some evenings Adelaide was very lonesome, and after awhile, when he staid late, would cry to herself, but she always tried to welcome his return jwith an unclouded face. She believed that it was only thoughtlessness, an^ that after awhile, when he came to
J-
alize how very lonely she was, he would not stay away from her so long. But he did not seem to realize. I Once, when she was very lonesome, Mrs. Chatterton came in and sat with her. They talked together and busied •themselves with some needlework, and the hours did not seem so long. And iWhen Ned came that night they walked home with his mother and all weie light hearted and happy.
But other evenings passed when nojbody came in, or when her mother or 'Nell dropped in to find her alone, and •hinted that Ned was neglecting her. ,They would look at her strangely, as if jthey pitied her, and wondered if she were happy. Somehow this pained her. jNed was good. She loved him and knew that he loved hen he was only thoughtless. She said this over and over to h^self, and she could not bear to see ia
!the
T"*""
eyes of her relatives the look that 'accused him. One night when ho had been later than usual and when her heart w?s overfull she tried to tell bim how he was paining her, but broke down and burst into tears.
His face was flushed and he answered her impatiently: "Nonsense, Addy don't act like a baby you must remember that you are a woman. Yon oughtn't to.expect a man to stick in the house all the time."
It wasn't much what he said, but
the tone in which he said it, that hurt her and made her sob silently until she fall asleep.
There was something restrained and shamefaced in his manner as he kissed her goodby the next morning and went down town, but in the evening he returned early, and after dinner he did not go out. He was restless and nervous and didn't seem to be reading the paper whioh he held up before him. Betrweeu husband and wife there was an embarrassing silence. There seemed to be uo common theme for them to talk about. They retired early, and again Adelaide's pillow was wet with tears.
It is a very easy matter to tell when a man stays in the house out of a sense of duty. That is what Ned did for several nights, but it brought Adelaide no happiness and him no comfort.
Her heart was overfull and 6he wanted sympathy and counsel. To whom should she turn? Would not her father tell her that she was foolish? Would not her mother be angry and blame Ned? Would not Nell pity her? No she could not go to none of these. Then suddenly she thought of Mrs. Chatterton. She understood Ned. She loved him. Would she not also understand the situation and be able to advise her? When she had gained courage enough, she went down to her mother-in-law'sand sobbed out the whole story to her. The old lady took her in her arms as she would have a tired child. "You poor, little girl," she said. "Ned has been very bad to you, and You didn't know how to manage him. How should you? But be patient we shall bring the young man around all right." Mrs. Chatterton bent down and kissed the girl, who lay sobbing in her arms, and hope sprang up in the young wife's heart.
It was a matter of some doubt whether Ned was more pleased or surprised when, on the following night, Adelaide said to him: "Would you mind going to the club tonight, Ned? Mother and I are going out for a little while, and I am afraid you will be lonesome." "Certainly not," he replied, "but I thought your mother was out of the city." "I mean Mother Chatterton—your mother," she said, faltering and blushing. "Oh, "he said tenderly, and be was slow in getting his hat, and he kissed her twice before going out.
He came home early that evening, and his mother was just about to leave as he entered. She paused only long enough to say: "I'll be over tomorrow evening. Mr. and Mrs. Delaney are coming with the hope of beating you and Addy a few games of cards. I'll have to come and make a welsh rabbit for you, I suppose. "That will be just the thing," said Ned. "I'll show Tom Delaney whether he can beat us at cards or not. Do come, mother. Wait a minute, and Addy and I will walk home with you. Won't we, dear?" But his wife was already throw| ing on her cape.
Next night Mr. and Mrs. Delaney came and Ned and Adelaide were beaten, but Mrs. Chatterton made the Wel&h rabbit—she had never made a better one—and there were jokes and stories find bright conversation all through th€ .short evening.
Delaney proposed that the three Chattertons come over to his house on th6 next evening and get their revenge, and they went. There were more jokes and bright talk, and, best of all, this time Ned won. "How pleasant these evenings are," he said to Adelaide, as with her on ore arm and his mother on the other he wended his homeward way, "and how foolish I have been to have been wasting them at the club. We must keep them up, eh, little girl?" They were just at Mrs. Chatterton's gate, but Adelaide put her hand on the old lady's arm. "You are going home with us to spend the night," she said. "And there is to be no demur, little mother," added Ned, sweeping her on past the gate. She could not but consent.
Far into the night, after Mrs. Chatterton had gone to bed, Ned and Adelaide talked. They made plans for future plea6t. -e, and their youthful joy seemed the revival of the honeymoon enthusiasm. "Weshall have such glorious times," said Ned. "Mother is right here near us." "She must be nearer, Ned," said Adelaide. "I want her to live right here with us." "But, Adelaide"— "Ned, I r'-isire it. Don't say no. I've got over some foolish notions of mine and I just begin to find how much I need a mot" er-in-law."
Her friends say: "It is strange that after starting out so well she would let him bring that mother-in-law in on her, but I suppose he compelled her that's the way with men."—St. Louis Republic.
Captive Wild Animals.
"It is a curious thing how animals are affected by conditions which one would think were immaterial," said Chief Keeper Manley of the zoological garden. "Take an American wildcat, for example. If we put one of these animals into a large cage where it can jump abont and have comparative freedom, it will sicken and die of heart disease, whereas if we pen them up in a little cage where they can hardly turn around, they will live and be healthy. It is something that is hard to account for. Almost all tbe American animals are hard to keep. We can't keep a moose here, and have to be very careful With mountain sheep."—Philadelphia Record.
