In Boston the law against smoking in
the streets still exists; and any unfortu-
nate smoker could be arrested by any po-
liccman who chose to do so. In England
man was recently arrested under near

through the streets during church time.

trial by combat; that is, that his limo,

phatically declining the tesD And it was
found that the right Of demanding such
duel had never been repealed. The
English laws respecting the Christmas
street singers or waits were also in ex
istence until very recently. Originally
they were court pages, whose duty it was
to patrol the court at night and proclaim
| the hour with pious song.

his abundance with the poor man, and
who makes good cheer for at least one
