What a Comma Cost.

Let US not overlook the Importance oil
trifles. In mental, spiritual and temporal
life they make and unmake, advance and
retard, carry forward to success or drag
down to failure. AS an example of what
the insignificant may be worth in dollars
and cents, the New England Grocer cites
the instance of what a comma once cost
our Government: Possibly the smallest
and apparently the most insignificant of
all plumbers. was the most expensive one
of the kind ever made. 1t occurred in a
tariff bill more than twenty years ago.
There was a section enumerating what
articles should be admitted free OF duty.
Among the many articles specified were
'all foreign fruit-plants," ETC., meaning
plants imported for transplanting, propa-
CATION or experiment. The Enrolling
Clerk, in copying the bill, changed the
hyphen in the compound word fruit
plants'' to a comma, making it read ''all
foreign fruit, plants" etc. The conss-
quence was that for year-until Con-
