When Children Smoked
Tciwii uc Ifoclicfort who published
in PuvU n 1071 an wvunt of his trav
els in IiiIind tolls the following
While we were walking about the
town Worcester he asked me if it
was the custom in France as in Eng
land that when the children went to
school they carried In their satchel
with their books a pipe of tobacco
which their mothers took care to Gil
early in the morning it serving them
instead of breakfast and that at the
accustomed hour every one laid aside
Ills book to light his pipe the master
smoking with them and teaching them

the tobacco
In England at the time of the great
plague it was reported that no one liv
ing in a tobacconists house fell sick of
the disease This caused a great de i
mand for tobacco Ilearne says in Ills
diary I remember that 1 heard for
merly Tom Rogers who was yeoman
beadle say that when he was a school-
boy at Eton that year when the plague
raged all the boys of that school were
obliged to smoke every morning and
that he was never whipped so much In
his life as lie was one morning for not
smoking
In the Nick of Time
The steamer was on the point of
leaving and the passengers lounged
on the deck and waited for the start
At length one of them espied a cab
in the far distance and It soon be
came evident that the driver was do
ing his level best to catch the boat
Already the sailors hands were on
the gangways and the cabs chances
looked small indeed Then a sportive
passenger wagered a sovereign to a
shilling that he would miss it The
offer was taken and at once the deck
became a scene of wild excitement
Hell miss it
Xo hell just do It
Come on
He wont do it
Yes he will Hes done it Hur
rah
In the very niek of time the cab ar
rived its occupant sprang out and ran
up the one gangway left
Cast off he cried

An East Indian Verdict
In a case in one of our Indian courts
a jury had before it evidence that
could not be in any way shaken When
the concluding stage had been reached
the following interchange of conversa
tion took place between the judge and
his colleagues in the administration of
justice
Gentlemen are you ready to give
your verdict
Yes
What is your verdict
Our answer is sir that you can do
as you like with the men that have
confessed but we acquit all the rest
But is it possible that you have
weighed the evidence
Evidence like this can always be
fabricated
Do you find that as regards these
prisoners it has been fabricated
Evidence can be fabricated
So the evidence is untrustworthy
Unless a man confesses who can
tell he is guilty Bombay Gazette
The Fun of the Farce
If is relattd that the manager of a
theater cordentc d to hear in his room
a young man who had an unfortunate
Impediment in his speech read a short
farce the sole condition being that it
should not occupy more time than it
took to finish the cigar the manager
had just lit They both started the
one reading the other smoking but as
the mild Havana gradually grew
shorter the worse the young author
spluttered They finished together Of
course the question was immediately
put What do you think of it-
Well replied the manager its not
a half bad idea Father mother lover
daughter all stuttering will be novel
The author furious exclaimed They
dont stammer It is only my misfor
tune
Oh then the play isnt funny at
all Sorry that I cant accept it re

Above Her Business
The tall man came into her little
blue kitchen and looked over the
shelves which were just beneath the
level of his head but above hers He
ran his finger over one shelf then
showed it to her It was pretty black
You are a nice housekeeper he
said
This kitchen wasnt made for tall
people she explained falteringly It

Harvards Chinese athlete is named

Li is in the class of 10 He entered
the university a year ago coming
from IMeyang university at Tienstiu
north China He entered Harvard in
the sophomore class and will there
fore complete the college course in
three years
Another foreign athlete at Harvard
who is attracting much attention by
his work is Masuda a Jap He lias
done some splendid work on the track
recently and is one of the best socker
football players at the college
At Harvards annual novice gymnas

an astonishing score A competitor is
required to show his skill on the paral

is perfect in every branch he scores
4o0 points Masuda scored 320 points
the man who won second place 270
