TOBACCO LEGISLATION.
Regulations Regarding the Weed in
Old Colonial Days Were
Very Severe.

1t is one of the curiosities of old
time legisla tion that the use of tobac-
CO was in early colonial days regard
ed by the magistrates and elders as
far more injurious, degrading and sin
full than that of intoxicati ting liquors.
Both the use and the planting of the
weed were forbidden, the cultivation
of it being permitted only in small
quantities, "for meere necessitie, for
phisick, for preservation of the health,
and that the same be taken privately
by anncient men," But the Creature
called Tobacko" seemed to have an in
destructible life. Mrs. Alice NJ. Earle
writes of these early restrictions
about tobacco in "Stage-Coach and
Tavern Days"
Landlords were ordered not to "suf-
fer any tobacco to be taken into their
houses on penalty of a fine to the
'victualler" and another to 1.-THE party
that takes it." The laws were con-
stantly altered and enforced; and still
tobacco was grown and was smoked.
No one could take it ''publicquely,"
nor in his own house or anywhere else
before strangers. Two men were for
hidden to smoke together.
No one could smoke within two
miles of the Westinghouse on the
Sabbath day. There were wicked back
sliders who were caught smoking
around the corner of the meeting
house, and others on the street, and
they were fined, and set in the stocks
and in cages.
Until within a few years there were
New England towns where tobacco
smoking in the streets was prohibited,
and innocent cigar-loving travellers
were astounded at being requested to
cease smoking.
Mr.. Drake wrote, in 1866, that he
| knew men, then living, who had to
plead guilty or not guilty in a Boston
police court for smoking in the streets
| of Boston.
In Connecticut, in early days, great
indulgence was permitted to travellers
"a man could smoke once during a
| journey of ten miles.

supreme Court Sustains the Foot
Ease Trade-Mark.

Justice Laughlfn, in the supreme court,
Buffalo, has ordered a permanent injunction,
with costs and full accounting of sales, to
issue against Paul B. Hudson, the manu-
facturer of the foot powder called Or.
Cark's Foot Powder" and also against
retail dealer of Brooklyn, restraining them
from making or selling the DR.. Clarks
Foot Powder, which is declared, in the in
fringement of "Foot-Ease," the powder to
shake into your shoes, now so largely ad
vertised and sold over the country. Allen
S. Olmsted, of Leroy, n. Y, is the owner of
the trademark "Foot-Ease," and he is the
first individual who ever advertised foot
powder extensively over the country. The
decision in this case upholds his trademark
and renders all parties liable who fraudu-
lently attempt to profit by the extensive
''Foot-Ease" advertising, in placing upon
the market a spurious and similar appear
ing preparation, labeled and put up in en-
velopes and boxes like Foot-Ease. Similar
suits will be brought against others who
are now infringing on the Foot-Ease trade
mark and common law rights.

A Baltimore woman recently secured an
old and typical southern cook named Dinah,
whose unfamliarity with city ways and
her questions were constant source OF
amusement to the family.
One morning shortly after she arrived
the door bell rang and Dinah answered it
as usual In a minute she came back with
a surprised expression. "Missus," she ex-
claimed, "der am a man dere what wants
"a cents for de Sum-" Mrs Justi gave her
the money and she returned to the door.
After the man had gone Dinah asked:
