A TYPOGRAPHICAL ERROR IN COURT
Typographical errors frequently occur in
the best conducted journals. The change
of one letter often alters the meaning of
word or sentence, and most serious per-
versions of the expressions of writer are
liable to result from hasty proof-readng
or the careiessness of composltors. Not
long ago a law that had passed both
Houses of congress was put in type at the
Government Printing Office, and after
time it was discovered that misplaced
comma entirely changed the intent of the
law, and further Congressional action was
necessary in order to relieve it of the i'm
proper punctuation and give it the force
latitude intended. A serious error of this
nature has been discovered in the publi-
cation of a law passed by the last Leg;sla
ture of this State. The prosecuting attor-
ney of Ingham county recently brought
an action against saloon-keeper for SELL
ing liquor to minors. In the trial of the
case, the counsel for the defense put in
the plea that the act under which the
action was brought could not be applied
to the case in question. The law referred
to is found on page 289 of the public acts
of 1879, and, upon investigation, it was
discovered that the act as it reads applies
to miners and not to minors. The attor-
ney of Ingham county secured the con-
viction ofthe liquor seller on the ground
of the intent of The law, rightly holding
that it was plainly meant to prohibit the
sale of liquor to minors, instead of to
miners. The case has been appealed to
the Circuit Court, and the decision of
Judge Huntington will be looked for
with interest. While it may be mere

Boys Take Warming.
fNev York Times


When bows are advised not to smoke
on hygienic grounds, they laugh at the
advice, and speak ofits givers as old fogies.
But careful experiments, lately made by
ii physician of repute, prove that the prac-
tice is very Injurious. He took for his
purpose SO boys, from 8 to 15, who have
been in the habit of smoking, and examin-
ed them closely. In 81 he found obvious
hurtful effects; % having various disorders
circulation and digestion, palpitation of
the heart, and more or less craving for
strong drink; IL of the boys were fire.
uuently troubled with bleeding at the
nose; 10 had disturbed sleep; II had slight
liberation of the mucous membrane of the
mouth, which disappeared after discon-
tinuation of tobacco for 10 or II days.
The physician treated them all for weak
ness and nervousness, though with little
avail. until they had relinquished smok.
ing. then health and strength were speed
i,y restored. Even if it be granted that
smoking is. not harmful to adults, there is
no doubt of it's harmfulness to the young.
DIR. Ranking, DIR. Richardson and others,
who have made a special study OF the
subject, all agree in declaring that it causes
in them impairment of growth, premature
worst effects is the provocation OF an ap-
petite for liquor, which, indeed, is not
confined TO the young, but which grown
persons are better able to manage. Where
bows drink to excess, they are almost
invariably smokers; and it is very rare to
find a man over-fond of spirits who is
not addicted to tobacco. Men who want
to give up drinking usually have to give
up smoking at the same time, for they
say that cigar or pipe generally excites
a desire for liquor very hard to control.

faithful dog. At Benicia he met q
number of friends and together they
proceeded to the hunting ground in a.
wagon. The vehicle was left at camp
ing place, and the party proceeded on
foot over the marshy ground to the tules,
where ducks, geese, etc., were found
plentiful. A goodly supply of ducks
were soon slaughtered, and. the party
were about returning to camp when
with their loads when flock of geese
was seen approaching. The city sports
men caught sight of them with no little
pleasure, and, as they came within
range, he brought big white one to the
ground. It dropped with heavy thud.
and the Benicians considered the shot a.
splendid one. The game, after striking
the ground, never moved, and Mr.
Nichols hastily secured the trophy and
fastened it to his already heavily laden
belt. It was fully two miles to camp,
and after walking mile or SO, our
Nimrod found his burden too heavy for
further progress, and he was prevailed
upon to throw aside the goose, advice
previously given but refused. He pro-
ceeded to unfasten the silly bird, and
flung it away, when to his thorough sur
prise, she futtered moment and the
next winged her fight to the ETHEREAL
vault. It took some time to arouse the
young hunter from his spell of astonish-
ment, but suddenly, as if electrified with
the determination to be revenged, he
brought the weapon to his shoulder and
fired two shots at the marvellous
anserine But it was too late, the bird
had recovered her freedom, and Nichols
joined his companions, angry over the
thought that silly goose had outwitted
him.
