New JERSEY HAS SET A GOOD prece-
dent in forbidding the sale of cigarettes
to boys under the age of sixteen, though
many will think that the forbidden limit
might have been increased a year or two
without disadvantage. Other municipal
authorities would merit more praise
than they usually contrive to deserve if
they followed the example. Boys
scarcely out of short clothes may be seen
putting on the most pernicious form of
the weed, and it is no uncommon thing
for the brats to stop grown men to ask
for a light from their cigars. The evil
should be stopped unless we want to see
a race of dwarfed and puny weaklings
growing up around us.
THE WIFE OF ONE OF party of Madras
coolies who arrived at New York Friday,
June 29th, was gorgeously decled out
with jewels. Fastened in her nose on
one side was gold ring, or rather but
ton. On the other side of the nose was
fastened a button of gold and jewels. A
ruby was in the centre, and this was sur
rounded with pearls on spikes Of god.
In the lobe of the ear was a respondent |
gold ring about a half-inch IN diameter. !
Just above this was another, but smaller |
ring, while through the top Of the ear a |
gold shaft was run terminating with gold |
buttons. On the toe of each foot were
two silver rings. Her necklace is a
mammoth chain of thirty-five gold pieces
about the size OF five dollar-gold coins.
She wore a calico wrapper, the ground
work of which was pink. She was much
darker than the men, with the blackest
of black hair.
A CLEVELAND ROBBER CAUGHT at his
nefarious work, said that he had been
sent to America by the st. Charles
Christian Society of London. He had
been in Portsmouth prison for robbery
after leaving prison, he was on tieket-of-
leave for eighteen months, and under
police surveillance for five years. There
fore, when the society proposed to give S
lim $50 "for good conduct" if he would l
smigrate; "of course, he came at once" j" +
Four other convicts came over in the
'ame ship. To the question whether
many rogues were sent to America in t
hat manner, he replied: "a good S
many. They don't like to leave the old n
country, but they are allowed more p
money by the Government if they do, T
nd get a free passage from the Chris
ian societies. But tllis is nothing COM {,
