1t is related of Tom Ochiltree that on his
first visit to England he awakened diverse
emotions in the breasts Of a country gen.
tleman and of a tailor by addressing let
ter 20 the gentleman, MIR. Thomas Rug

Esq" The gentleman was sorely offended
and the tailor felt hattered- The customs
of this country make no particular dis
affix ESQ" In England there Is a wide
distinction. The title Esquire" is worn
by justices Of the peace, well to do country
gentlemen and professional men. II ranks
next TO knighthood The prefix "Mr" Is
applied to tradesmen and other plain peo-
pie of respectable callings- The miscel-
laneous use Of these two terms Is some
times confusing TO students of social and
commercial etiquette.
Here, for instance, is &c. V. W." who in

is a perfectly proper and respectful desig-

is necessary in addressing men not occupy

hand, the affix ESQ, meaningless as it is
here, is accepted as title of dignity. and
certainly can give no offense American
business men are no sticklers for titles Of

Not Much Carbon Gas.

There is a widespread belief that the
presence Of growing plants and cut flowers
in rooms is in some ways prejudicial to
those who sleep therein. This belief Is
probably due to the fact, learned at school,
that plants give of at night carbonic acid,
and the knowledge that this gas is irrespi-
rable. A writer has recently published the
results Of some experiments made in a
closed greenhouse. showing how fanciful
are these fears.
In this greenhouse were 6,000 growing
plants, and the average Of three expert
ments made early on three different morn
ings after the place had been closed for
more than twelve hours exhibited only
403 parts Of earbonic acid per 1000. We
can judge by this experiment that from
one or two plants the quantity Of gas given
off must be far too small for recognition,
and certainly many hundred times less
than that formed by a burning taper or
given of by one pair Of lungs
