announcement that among Mr.. Cushng's Zuni relics
are some ancient cigarettes of cane and cOn-leayes
There is surely nothing to be surprised at in this.
The American savage was the first smoker, and II
he didn't smoke cigarettes regularly, 1t was proba-
bly, only because, with his imprOgidcnt habits, he
never had money left by Monday morning to buy a
pack, but found, as many other smokers have done,
that pipe is cheaper as we'll as diGnifed and
more conducive to philosophical reflection!
The poIlce force of the pleasant town of Stock
Lrdge Mass. really doesn't seem to he much moro
yigllant than New-York's finest in the world"
Especially is this fact noticeable at the time of the
annual agrcu tural fairs. when the community is
invaded by a thrOng Of law-breakers, who every
year commit some signal outrage Last year they
made victim Of the Rev. Dr. Morgan, Of ST.
IhOmas's Church IN this city. entering and robbmg
the house which he had that rented aud fur.
nIshcd for summer home. This year they paid
their respects to the Rsv. Dr.. Henry NJ Field, by
breaking into his house and carrying off several
hundred dollars worth of silver. It would be well
for Stockbridge and other places to pay for the
benefit received by the holding Of fairs and cattle
shows by making sure that their police forces are OF

Tho new movement Ia India, ~ social, educa-
tonal and religious thought, sTikinglY manifested
itself few weeks ago. Al a meeting OF the official
hoard OF Bombay University an influential Brah-
MN member proposed that henceforth, IN all the
laws and regulations Of the University the pfonoun

an English member was adopted without dls'
scuting vote. ThuSqurotly but emphatcally were

organization IN tho land. In tho natural sequence
Of affairs the body following the head, this action

revolution may not soon, If ever, be wrought. Bur
1T least il will he worth the while Of students Of
social and educational ethics to watch Bombay

While tho Man Who Takes Your Umbrella has all
seasons for his own and the Man Who Has Little
Story TO Tell fails not IN need time nor IN harvest
there IL ono particular fend who becomes paTticu-
larly numerous at about the time when there Is
GOODNESS in the morning breeze and no steam in the
radiator. We refer to the Man Who Leaves tho

actual purposs is to 90 away leaving WIDE open the
Mortal through which the autumna zcphyrs come
cavortng with glacial coOluess and bearing IN their
cbastr embrace full many tOScu Of the perVas:ve
dust from which we sprang and to which we shall
return. It does no good TO bawi after him to shut

down the zen. and push back the chair, aud walk
TO the door and close 1t softly and penSively and
then stoop to gather up the scattered papers that
have been whrled about Uur feet like fading forest
leaves. tho blessed Serosch whispers promises of Il
GOOD time coming, and We are consoed with con-
Gdeuce tnat in that bright dawnng era our autumn

Who Leaves the Door Open must go.
