OBSERVATION in public places gives
satisfactory evidence that the use Of
cigarettes is rapidly on the decline.
Whether this is due to the stringent
laws passed in many of the States
against selling them to minors, or that
smokers have come to their senses and
have taken warning from their own ex-
perience and the unanimous condemna-
tion OF smoking cigarettes by TIE medi-
cal profession, or whether the evil
practice has begun to be looked upon as
a d~iscreditable vice to be only practiced
in secret. remains to be proved; but it
is certain that, as compared with the
past, very few cigarettes are O smoked
in public Cigar dealers say that the
sales of cigarettes have fallen off enor-
mously. The manufacturers of them
have been compelled to advertise
largely to prevent the entire destruction
of their business, aud about the only
people who can now he seen smoking
cigarettes are q few moon faced juve-
niles, who imagine that cigarette smok-
ing is "tlie correct thing"

In the early part of the seventeenth
century, upon the birthday of the then
Prince of Wales, a distinguished picnic
was celebrated. A chronicler of the
times wrote: "Tie Prince, his birth
day has been solemn .zed here by the
few marquises and lords which found
themselves here; and-to supply the
want of lords-knights and squires were
admitted to a consultation. wherein it
was resolved that such q number should
meet at Gamiges and bring ever man his
dish of meat. 1t was left to their own
choice what to bring; some chose to be
substantial, some curious, some extrava-
giant. Sir George Young's invention
bore away the bell, and that was four
huge brawny pigs. piping hot, bitted
and harnessed with ropes ofsarsiges, all
tied to a monstrous bag budding"

The finding of the mortal remains of
Lord Howe recalls q story embodying q
terse and striking epitaph which was
nee suggested for the tombstone of the
brave warrior. A mural tablet intended
for the adornment of q village church
had been prepared, upon which his
virtues and achievements were inscribed.
A famous wit, upon reading the
p%anegyric, found that it was full of
gross errors. Accordingly, he sug-
gested that in case the body of Howe
ever came to repose in the churchyard
back of the church, the tombstone
should bear these words: Lord Howe.
he lies here; and Lord, how they lie

Mr.: Henry F. Waters. whose discoveries
relative to the ancestors OF John Harvard,
the founder OF Harvard College. attracted
30 much attention u few years ago, has
now done an equally Important work Tor
tho Washington family. says a recent Bos-
ton dispatch to tho Chicago Tribune.
George Washington's English ancestry has
long been q disputed point with historians.
The American line OF Washington's an.
cestry has been easily traced back TO John
Washington. who with his brother Lawrence
came TO Virginia from England about
1861. but there the course became un-
certain. Mr.. Waters has now cleared this
by his discoveries. Lawrence Washington.
son OF Lawrence Washington OF Sutgrave,
he finds. was a fellow of Brasenose College.
Oxford. rector of Burleigh. in Essex, from
l6sS to !6a3. whom he was elected by order
OF Parliament as a malignant royalist. He
removed to Tring. in tho county Of Hort
ford. where he died before 1866, leaving a
widow. Amphfllis. and children John, born
about 1898: Lawrence. baptized at Trine,
June %. 1885; and William, Elizabeth.
Margaret and Martha. It was his sons John
and Lawrence who emigrated to Virginia
about 1867. On only two minor points a
there be any doubt as to these facts. and
on those 1t is probable that further investi-
CATION will remove all doubt.

In anew York court the curious WAYS Of
Juries received illustration ON Monday.
A boy had lost his leg by falling from Q
freight elevator, and brought suit sgainst
the owners on the ground that he WAS In
their employ. 1t was shown that he was
really employed by another party In the
Same building, and had been warned not 70
ride on the elevator.
Judge Nehrbss charged the Jury In &C.
eordance with these facts, but after wrost-
ling with the simple problem for four hours
the "welve good men and true" marched
into the court room, and tho foreman
triumphanuy announced that they bsd
found verdict OF $500 for the plaintiff.
Tho sstonished judge assented to the
request OF the defendant's lawyer that the
verdict be set aside as contrary to evidence
and he added sarcastically that no would
have saved them four hours worry II he had
correctly guessed their mental capacity, for
he would then hsvo told them plainly to
bring In verdict FOX the defendant He
had erred, he said, In thinking that the
matter could be left to their common sense.
The jury were discharged without fees and
the judge remarked he would oheerfully
subscribe for the relief OF the boy, but that
he could no. obtain any from people who
were not responsible for the accident, 1t
10 evident that the jurors cared for nothing
but paying for that leg, and were quite in
different as to rights OF property. City
papers are worry fond OF jokes on country
jurios' but this New York jury would be
hard to rival.

Of her inaugural centennial. First Ward

appears disposed to consider 1t all .

trolled by any law Of hospitality. Even
the visiting militia, who will be .
part Of the show, are evidently ex.
pected to stand all expenses and take
care OF themselves, and the First
regiment has already resolved 10 view Of
this lack OF hospitality that unless the
state Of Pennsylvania pays all bills they
will stay at home. The qusrtermaster Of
this regiment went on to New York to
inspect the quarters provided for 1t and
reports that they would only do for half
the number. The troops arc also dis.
turbed because they may be required by
their commanders to wear . marching
outfit Of overcoats, knspsacks and oil
accoutrements. while they want to pranco
In full dress. Looking at this very serious
questions from all sides It would seem
best for the Pennsylvania troops to
stay at home. The New Workers
do not want them for the very
plain reason that they would completely
overshadow the New York troops, Just
as they overpowered all other military
bodies at the Inauguration Of President
Harrison. They should not 60 where
they are not wanted because they are

all of which Philadelphia has In q marked
