The Puritan Fathers and Smoking.

The Puritan fathers were greatly
addicted to smoking-indeed. the prac-
tice became SO common that even the
straitlaced observers of times and sea-
sons actually smoked in church. This
custom soon caused very considerable
annoyance, as the religious exercises
were greatly disturbed by the clink-
Ing of fintS and steels to light their
pipes and the clouds of smoke in
church. Hence in the year 1869 the
colony passed this law: 1T is enacted
that any person or persons that shall
be found smoking of tobacco on the
Lords day, going to or coming from
h meetings, within two miles of
meeting house. shall pay II pence for
every such default" Under this law
several persons were actually fined, but
the punishment failed to secure the
carrying out of the arbitrary second
portion Of the enactment.
