CO; and / have been polite enough
to say TO men that were smoking. .
Il have no objection to your
smoking a decent cigar but the
smoke of apipe that has been used
for a generation, is a funigation I
do not need. Yet, if you will
smoke sucll a pipe and such tobac.

When / 60 into the cars or boats
where they are, and see what pud
dies they leave, l feel as though. if

not pity the women that wear long

The State House.

We were shown on Saturday the
new Improvement being made at
the Slate House. The finished
portions are all being renovated,
offices beng moved from one part
of the building to another, and a
general overbauling is being made.
The old flimsy rag carpets have
been taken up, and heavy, durable

was poor economy in the offset to
cover the floors with such carpet
material as has just been removed.
The Executive Office has been
moved from the eastern, to the

The Secretary Of State moves
from his old quarters to the west

opposite side of the hall from the
Governor.
Both the rooms of the Governor
and the Secretary Of State are be.
ing beautifully fitted up, and an
air of Deatness and comfort seems
to pervade these new quarters.
The Adjutant and Inspector
General occupies the rooms form

while the Superintendent of Edu

The WAY TO LIvE.-If a man
is fat or lean, and feels we'll, hav-
ing all the bodily functions acting
regularly, with sound sleep, and
no discomfort after eating, he
should by all means let himself
alone. Most persons want TO la, c
n little more flesh (; want to weigh
more; few want to weigh less
Some, in the effort to increase
their weight, have eaten by rule
and reason instead of being guild
cd by their instinct, and have &C
complished their object, with the
addition of some chronic disease.
Others, being too bulky for their
pride, have paid for their fastidi-
business by bringing on incurable
maladies us a result of the too free
use of vinegar or by chewing tea.
In several cases, Bright's disease
of the Kidneys has set in and de-
stroyed life. Perhaps the safest
way to get lean is to work hard
and live mainly on fruits, bread
and butter, berries, tomatoes, mel.
ons, and the like, using meat and
vegetables only at dinner-time.
