TELL-TALE CLAY PIPES.
Prove That People smoked Long Before
 RaIeigh's Day.

A vast number of clay pipes have been found under conditions which seem to prove that they were deposited long before Ra1eigh's birth; and a pipe of early date is SO utterly unlike the modern form that these could not have been dropped by laborers of the present day. At an antiquarian meet ing many years ago an old gentleman told how ms grandfather used to give him coppers for wading the Pool Dam at Neweastle-under-Lym to gather buck bane," which the veteran smok- ed to relieve asthma. That reminis- renee carries us back a century and a half, and it is probable that buckbane had been used for asthma time out of mind. If people were already fa- miliar with the practice of smoking herbs we should have an explanation of the astonishing rapidity with which they took to tobacco. It may be noted that Cartier found the Indians of Hochelaga, on the St. Lawrence. smok- Ing an herb which we recognize from his description as lobelia, as we'll as tobacco. His sailors did not care for The latter, but the former met with their approval from the first; for it was 'as good as drink. to them.

The waiting-room of the Boston and Dakota Railroad station was hot. Everything about it, from the dingy letters on the door to the shabby red plush of the seats, was dirty An odor Of bananas and peppermint came from the refreshment stand. Near the door two schoolgirls in showy hats were eating earamels and rolling their eyes at the ticket agent A shriyeled old lady sat in a retired corner, sur reptitiously adding to the dusty pile of peanut shells which lay under the seat. Halfway down the room, a sticky child in dirty white cap, be- ing forbidden to roll on the floor, kicked it's mother frantically and gave vent to a series of angry shrieks.
 Between the windows sat girl who, from her small velvet turban to the tip of her polished boot. seemed the very embodiment of luxury. Her mouth had a determined expression, but her blue eyes were unsophistica- ted and there was an admiring, trust ful look in them as she gazed at the man by her side

 Suddenly there was a rattle and jar at the dingy door and an elderly man hastily entered. He cast glance about the room, and then walked di- rectly toward the pair by the window. The young man started up at his ap. proach and began to speak with evil dent embarrassment.

WoMAN's STATUS LOUISIANA

Curious Anomaly That Has Just
 Come to Light
 Ethel C. Avery calls attention to the present unique status of Louisiana women, says the Woman's Tribune. as follows: "A curious anomaly has just come to light in Louisiana The late constitutional convention gave tax paying women the right to vote upon all questions submitted to taxpayers. It added a clause, unique in the suf- frage laws of the county, that any woman who did not wish to go to the polls herself might give proxy to some one else to cast her te for her. This was done out of chiyalrous regard for the women, who, it was thought, might shrink from contact with the polls. New Orleans is preparing to hold its first election under the new law to decide upon tax levy for sewerage and drainage. An examn- ation of the assessors books reveals that there are more than 10000 tax paying women in New Orleans, and thS AdoJ OAJ thV NAbJ NOuhIils LAS UsBSA= dent of the city board of health and other civic dignitaries have been elo- quently urging women to vote in fla vor of better sanitation for their homes. Some of the women thought they would rather vote by proxy; and this has brought to light the anomaly in question. If woman gives a cer- tificate to a proxy to vote for her the certificate must be signed by two com petent witnesses. Many New Osleans women are now finding out for the first time that by Louisiana law, which is based on the old law of France, woman is not competent witness to a legal document Tn Louisiana tax paying women may vote on the expen- allure of their taxes, and in this way are in advance of all the northern and eastern states But while a woman may be voter in her own right or may cast vote as proxy for another woman she is not legally competent to witness the signing of the certificate.

ANONYMOUS LETTER WRITER.

Some pin.hesded person Of Eureka is
spending his or her-presumably her
spare time in writing anonymous letters
and addressing them to people OF the
highest responsibility. The letters are
insulting TO a degree, and the skulking
coward who writes them will probably
have the pleasure Of seeing his or her
name In print within a short time, as the
people who have received these letters
propose to ferret the writer out and
publish her TO the community.
The vsporings Of diseased minds should
probably be ignored and these anonymous
writer's be permitted to languish in the
obscurity OF their " littleness, but the
receipt of such letters becomes agravating
and irritating TO the receivers Of them,
and that they should take steps to rid
themselves Of the annoyance is not to be
wondered at. A good clue Ia said to be
had to the identity o; the contemplate
female person who is 80 fond OF writing
everything but her own name, and inter
esting developments are expected.
