COST OF G'IGARETTES.
AI Computed From thogxperlonco of
A, Man Who “leirp Off."
A remarkable story of "swearing
Isaac Manhofi. a poddler,’.who for siitty
years has been an extraordinary
heavy cigarette smoker, has decided to
renounce the weed absolutely. Man-
hoff was a cut an inveterate a smoker
as ever ii ed, the passion having taken
such a hold of. him . that he
used to wake up at“ ’ night and
smoke a cigarette before he could he
lulled to sleep again. He acquired the
habit at the age of twelve in,his native
country, Russia, and it has steadily
increased its hold upon him. Neverthe-
less, he is a strong man, weighing
about 175 pounds. with a massive chest
paper he spoke of his smoking custom
as follows:
“You sue, when I awoke in the morn.
ing the first thing I wanted was a
cigarette. Generally I smoked about
ten before breakfast.‘ No, i never
smoked while eating, but as soon as
I finished 1 would put one in my
mouth. Then through the day i would
smoke and I would smoke them late,
and many times even in bed.
“How many do you think you smok-
ed a day?" he was asked.
"Oh, I don't know. I think I averag-
ed sixty."
l ‘l;iow did you happen to quit smok-
Hg." ‘
“Well, you see it was just like this.
When I was afflicted with a cold Ins-
ually got hoarse, and while I smoked
the hoyarseness grew more intense. One
day not long ago the thought. occurred
to me that I should forsake the cigar
ettes. It was then and there that I
made up my mind never to smoke an-
other one."
Mr. Halihoff fixed his average day’s
smoke at sixty cigarettes and upon
this basis he. has smoked in his life
just 963,000.
The local reporter then indulges in
the following calculations:
Mr. Manhoff has smoked 963,000 ci-
garettes in his life.
He has used 1,204,500 matches,
which amounts to 6,022 boxes of 200
each.
A match averages about two and a
half inches in length. and when 1,204.-
500 of them are strung in a. strelght
'iine. one after the other, they stretch
2,710,500 inches or 225,866 feet, making
a total of over 42 miles.
if Manhoff had all the tobacco he
has used in his life and all the papers
in one piece he could roll a cigarette
that, if it were 'laid in a straight line
would extend over 42 miles.
Allowing three ‘minutes for rolling
and smoking a cigarette, Manhoi’f has
spent 2,890,000.,mlnutes of his life
and this amounts to 48,180 hours, or
over 2,007 days. ,
Two thousand and seven days are
over five years, and thus it is easily
seen how Manhoff. spent about one
eleventh of his life time in .the sattls
faction of his desire for smoking ci.
garottes.
Figuring that each cigarettes produc-
ed a cubic foot of smoke, then enough
has been inhaled into his lungs to fill
936.000 cubic feet.
If all the papers that. he has used in
rolling cigarettes could be placed to-
gether, that is, to make a perfect.
suqaro, the one sheet, would be nearly
an acre in area. Each paper is three
inches long and two wide. and the re-
sult is easily seen. The big paper
would have an area of 5,781,000 square
inches, or 40,150 feet.
Following is the cost of Manhoif‘s
smoking:
$301 spent in matches; 0,022 boxes
at $.05 a box.
$2400 spent. in tobacco.
$481.80 spent in paper, 100 in pack.
age at $05.
$3.191.90——What the habit has cost
him.

TODAY IN WALL STREET.
NEW YORK, August 21.—-Prlces for
stocks were again depressed in the
first hour of trading on the stock mar-
ket today, following the example of
the London market, where American
stocks were weak. A brisk general
demand then carried prices again
above those of last night's close. This
drew out. large offerings of stocks un*
der which prices again sagged until
Brooklyn Transit and Union Pacific
wore ‘3. points under last night and a
number of other stocks more than a
point. Trading was then dull.
WALL STREET,,10:10 a. m.—~Weak-
ness in American stocks at London
had a momentary depressing effect in
the local market at the opening, and
Union Pacific and Smelting were low-
ered a. point and Amalgamated Copper
and Brooklyn Transit 1 1-2. These
losses were immediately made up un-
der the influence of a good demand for
both accounts.
WALL S'l‘ltEE'l‘, 11 a. m.———On the
rally Which brought the range of prices
back to yesterday's closing or a trifle
beyond, renewed large offerings ap-
peared and the market sagged to a
lower level than at the beginning. Un-
ion Pacific and Brooklyn Transit were
forced down 2 points under last night,
New York Central 1 '1-4 and St. Paul,
Atchison. Southern Pacific and the Hill
and principal metal stocks l. The vol-
ume of business then decreased to al—
most nominal proportion. lull. the mar-
ket showed but little inclination to
rally.
WALL STREET, noon—A further
decline was followed by a long inter-
val of semi-stagnation during which
the market quite generally hardened
to within a fraction of yesterday's clos-
ing. On the decline Smeiting fell 2
points and lirooklyn Transit :l.
WALL STREET, 1 p. m.——Some ir-
regularity prevailed in the market,
but the movement was not pronounced
and there. was little interest shown in
the movement of prices, Delaware &
Hudson and Metropolitan Street. Rail-
way dropped 2 points. the latter touclr
ing 40. Northwestern pfd. recovered
its recent loss of 8 points.
LONDON, August 21.—"l‘he favorable
construction which Wall Street placed
on President Roosevelt's speech at
Proviucetown, Muss, yesterday. and
the subsequent rise in prises at New
York caused Amerle us to open strong
on the Stock Exch lge this morning,
but, in the absence of sustained buy-
ing power. prices soon dropped and at
noon the market ruled dull with quota-
tions fractions under parity. in other
directions the tendency was better.
Console improved a quarter of a point,
and (‘opper shares attracted attention.
