The LlttIe NNord nNot.n

An errorin The Republican, report of the
presbytery's proceedings is to be corrected.
The drst section of the appendix to the report
of the committee on revision of the discipline
was not adopted, but voted down. In its re-
port The REPUBLICAN left out the "not."
This section is the one proposing to confer
authority on church sessions to excuse from
the communion table and finally to erase the

a statistical comparison showing the
relative extent to which various nations
are addicted to the use of tobacco has
been published by the Etoile Beige,
which manfests no little pride in the
position occupied by Belgium. The pro-
portions are: For England, France and
Russia, 5; for Italy, Z; for Cuba II; for
Austria, a. for Germany and North
America, Is; for Belgium, -, and for
Holland, 90. In some parts of the new
world, however, the achievements of
the Dutch are, according to the same
authority, altogether surpassed. The
readers of the Etoile Beige are informed
that in Mexico especially every one is,
with very rare exceptions, 4 smoker.
The school children who have done best
in their studies are rewarded by being
allowed to smoke cigar as they stand
or sit at their lessons. The schoolmas-
ter himself is seldom without cigar in
his mouth. In the law courts all per-
sons commonly enjoy their tobacco free
ly, and even the accused in q criminal
trial is not denied this indulgence, but
is allowed. if his cigarette goes out in
the heat of the argument, to light it
again by borrowing that of the police
man who stands at his side to guard him.
