The truth Is admitted by the staidest. 1t is even printed in most reliable pa- per for ladies, that the smoking of ci- garettes is thought nothing of in so- ciety
 Women smoke now if they like to do SO; the proviso must be meant distinct ly to be protest against the accusa- tions hurled at them that they smoke only because it is smart. They also patronize very fashionable jewellers, where the most dainty holdirs are sold for their exclusive use.

 The feminine smoker is far from in- dulgfng her taste for tobacco in smok- ing carriages, though an outery has been made for accommodation for them in the railway trains-an outcry met with the obvious reply that smok- ing carriages already exist for men, and for those women, of course, who care to use them.
 They will not, for some time, at least. smcke either in restaurants or hotel public rooms But the innocent ciga- rette and the lovely bits of jewelry it excuses is already a solace to many a nervous woman, whose sensibilities require the soothing of tobacco quite as much as those of men.-London Mail

great meeting held in the fields to force the tagging tory assembly of New York into line. In 1776, after the breaking out of the revolution, young Hamilton was given command Sf company of artillery, and soon after was given place on Washington's staff.
 During the revolution Hamilton had found leisure to study finance and gov ernment. On leaving the army he be- gan the study of law, and was admitted to the bar About the same time he was made continental receiver of taxes for New York. Jn November, 1782 he took his seat in the continental congress, to which he had been elected, but the next year withdrew 10 the practice of his profession. While in private prac- tice he worked assiduously for union of the now independent states.
