LITERARY MEN AND THE PIPE.

Many Of Them Detest the Weed. While
Others Find solace In II.
The following from Edmund Yates
"Re~collections'' appeared in a London
periodical: MIR. Gladstone 'detests' to-
bacco; Mr.. Matthew Arnold abuses
it.; Mr.. Ruskin hates the man who
'pollutes the pure air Of the morning
with cigar smoke But are we not con-
soled for the abstinence Of these great
men by the devotion of others Of emil
hence? Thackeray once declared that he
did not despair to see a bishop lolling
out Of the Atheneum with q cheroot in
his mouth, or, at any rate, a pipe stuck
in his shovel hat. But if we have not q
smoking bishop, we have a smoking poet
laureate (alluding to the late Lord Ten
nyson), familiar with tobaccos, Latakia,
Connecticut leaf, Perique, Lone Jack,
Michigan, Killicinick, Highlander or
any Of the English brands
"How did he take the gentle weed?
At his feet was a box of white clay pipes.
Filling one Of these, he smoked until it
was empty, broke it in twain and threw
the fragments into a box prepared for
their reception. Then he took another
pipe from its straw or wooden inclo-
sure, filed it and destroyed it, as before.
For years Professor Huxley, like Charles
Lamb, toiled after tobacco as some men
after virtue At a certain debate ON
smoking he told the story Of his early
struggles in a way which utterly put the
antitobacconists to confusion.
"'For 40 years Of my life,' he said,
tobacco had been a deadly poison to
me. Loud cheers from the antitobac-
conists. In my youth, as a medical
student, I tried to smoke. In vain! At
every fresh attempt my insidious foe
stretched me PROSTATE on the floor. RE-
peated cheers. I entered the navy.
Again I tried to smoke and again met
with defeat. l hated tobacco. Icould al
most have lent my support to any insti-
tuition that had for its object the putting
Of tobacco smokers to death. [Vociferous

The report on crop conditions in this
state TO the Huron weather bureau for
the week ending June 10, state that CO.
pious rains have been frequent and gen
eral. The temperature was somewhat
below the average, with cool and damp
nights and clear mornings. The amount
OF sunshine was below the average.
Wheat, oats, barley and rye have made
marked growth and the effects of the
May frosts and succeeding local
droughts appear to have been entirely
obliterated. The conditions were also
favorable to potatoes, late flax, millet
and grasses. The weather was too cool
for corn and this crop is slow and back
ward. 1t has also suffered from the
ravages OF cut worms, and considerable
replanting has been necessary. Corn
needs warm weather and sunshine to
stimulate growth and stop the work Of
cut worms, which it appears have done
more damage than the May frosts. Some
reports indicate they are working in the
fax also. Mlllet and late fax seeding
continues. Gardens generally have done

ARE AMERICANS LITIGIoUSf

Mr.. Joseph Choate, the celebrated
lawyer of New York, stated recently
that England has only thirty-two judges
to attend to the wants of 3O,OOO,OO peo-
pie, while the state of New York alone
has 140. This contrast is an instructive
commentary on the litigious disposition
of our people. Two-thirds of the litiga-
tion in our courts is without valid ex-
cuse. We rpsh to law for nothing, and
a large part of the contentious in our
courts do not rise in dignity or import
ance above the Quarrels of schoolbUys.-
Oregonian.
We question the assertion that the
people of the United States are of
more litigious disposition than the
English. The condition of their prop
erty and the courts and bar are so un-
like that of the people of England that
any comparison in this respect does an
injustice to Americans. In this coun-
try almost every head OF a family, ex-
cept in larger cities, has, or claims to
have, an interest in real property; many
own small tracts of land; estates are
divided among heirs upon the death of
the owner; conveyances of real property
are frequent, and contracts pertaining
to the sale Of real property are much
more frequent; real property is easily
encumbered; and in many other re-
spects transactions out of which litiga-
ton arises, though less in Importance,
are far greater IN nHmber in the United
States.
Again. litigation, except perhaps in
eqp:iy, Is much more readily disposed
of there. An Oscar Wilde is tried twice,
sentenced and imprisoned within few
days. A case of that importance here
would have occupied weeks in single
trial. In England the ablest lawyers
only are placed upon the bench. In
many of the states men of little expert
ence are frequently elevated to the
bench. Such men will require days to
try a case which should occupy only q
few hours. Again, lawyers are easily
made in this country, and the expense
OF litigation to litigants is less; but mis-
trials are on this account far more fire.
quent. Nothing helps trial court tt
correctly try q case so much as able
lawyers nothing renders appeals neces
eary so much as ignorant and inexpe
rienced lawyers.
The trouble is not with the disposition
of our people so much as with the court:
and bar. More care in the admission t.
the bar and in the selection OF judge
for both the trial and supreme benche
would greatly reduce the work of tn
courts.

MIDNIGHT CLOSING OF SALOONS

''Citizen" in Yesterdays issue suggests
the closing of saloons from midnight to
6 O'Clock in the morning. This has
been found to be very salutary reguia-
tion in other places, and ought to be IT, e
law everywhere. No man has any need
of saloon after midnight, and when
trouble arises in them it is oftener after
than before midnight. AS suggested by
the communication referred to, the bet
ter class of men in the business would
no doubt be glad to close at midnight, ii
all were required to. Let us have such
an ordinance.
