Menelik, Negus of Abyssinia, has pro-
hibted the importation or use of tobacco
within his dominion. Old Menelk. it is
said, likes to be considered a father to
his people, and therefore he never permits
the introduction of any innovation until
he has tested its merits himself. One day
he saw some English tourists putting con-
tentedly at their tobacco pipes. Thinking
possibly smoking might be a good thing
for his subjects. as the Englishmen APP
peared to enjoy it, he borrowed pipe and
had 1t filled with strong. black tobacco.
For ten minutes, or such matter he pull
ed at the pipe faithfully when it fell from
his nerveless grasp and the old sovereign
felt that he would be better dead. Upon
his recovery from the nausea he issued a
proclamation forever prohibiting tobacco

some years ago there was a man who

Another old custom has been revived in
New Jersey. 1t is the adorning with a
coat of tar and feathers of an objection
able member of the neighborhood. Many
years ago tar and feathers as a punish
ment by the mob were quite common, and
generally were accompanied by riding on
rail. OF late years. however. the mob
has usually not been content with any
thing so mild. Flogging, shooting and
hanging have been the vogue. 1t is inter-
esting, therefore, TO note that New Jersey
has revived the old practice of tarring
and feathering men who beat their wives
The sign is hopeful. Maybe after while
we will get to the place where infrac-
tions of the law will be dealt with by
the law. From the lynch moose to tar and
feathers is slight step in that direction

Three witnesses were examined and
their testimony was chiefly in corrob-
Grafton of the main points set forth

said Il was as common to hear him say

and her husband decided to let the mat
