BREAKS CIGAR BOX LIDS.
New Ruling of Revenue Law Must be
Complied With.

If you ask a dealer for an empty
cigar box and he takes a hammer
and smashes the lid in before hand
ing it to you, don't take it as an in
suit. You would likely meet with
the same treatment if you called in
every place in the city where cigars
are sold. Under the old revenue
law it was sufficient if the dealer
merely scratched the revenue stamp
so that it could not be used again.
After he had destroyed the stamp
he could give the boxes away. But
the new law says that ''all persons
are cautioned not to use this box for
cigars again, or the stamp thereon,
and not to remove the contents of
said box without destroying said
stamp, ETC."
Under a new ruling the box also
must be destroyed, so that it will be
impossible for it to again be used for
cigars. Most dealers comply with
both requirements of the law and
destroy the box. and the stamp at
the same time with the hammer,
smashing in the lid. The stamp
being pasted across the lid, isforn
in several places when the lid is
broken. Cigar boxes are handy
little receptacles and a great many
business men use them for filing
away clippings or papers that they
wish to keep for future reference.
Now if they get them at all it will
be without lids.

CALM BEFORE THE STORM
Situation in San Domingo at the Present
Time-LoOking for the Newest
Revolution.

Cape Haytien, Jan. 5.-The entire
republic of Santo Domingo is expert
encing the calm which precedes rev.
dictionary storm. The population Of
the region south of Azua de Com
postela has joined the army of revolu-
tionists which is marching on the cap
ital, and several new defections from
the ministry of Provisional President
Morales are announced.
General Jiminez, ex-president of the
republic and leader of the revolution
lists, is still at Santiago de los Ca
halleros, working actively, with the
aid Of Generals de Eschamps and
Quito Pichardo, for the final success
of the revolutionary cause, which is
expected from day to day.

Change in Binding.

For several hundreds of years law
books have been uniformly bound in
what has come to be known as law
sheep and law calf Recently how
ever radical change was made.
Law sheep and law calf were dis
carded and the books issued by the
law book publishing house came out
attired in a suit Of coarse canvas.
AS the ancient form of binding had
done continuous duty for many
centuries with apparent satisfaction
to the profession, the innovation
naturally caused surprise. The
truth of the matter is however that
the termination of the reign of law
sheep and law calf has long been
secretly desired by majority of the
profession. The main count in the
Indictment against law sheep and
law calf is that they fail to stand
the test of time. After twenty or
thirty years of reasonable use and
that is by no means long period of
service for a law book--calf and
sheepskin begin to decompose and
crumble into dust. The slightest
contact between a book in this con-
dition and the lawyers coat sleeve
leaves it's mark and the act Of with
drawing such books from the shelves
and replacing them raises such a
cloud Of dust as to render life
burdensome to the lawyer who finds
it necessary to spend any length of
time IN his library. The new
material is a grey Or drab colored
sort of canvas. It seems to be
strong, is infinitely cleaner than the
old form of covering and-with
facing of red and black lettered
with gold lettering on the backs
presents an extremely neat appear
ance Whether it will meet with
greater success in resisting the
ravages Of time than it's predecessor
the event alone can prove, but it is
safe to say that whatever effects age
will have upon it, the creation of
dust will not be among them.

Salt Not Good For Shoes.

1.-The throwing of salt on the side
walks is injurious and harmful to
shoes, said local shoe man yester-
day afternoon.
Lancaster people usually spread
salt on their slippery walks, to melt
the snow. The salt does it's work
to perfection, but the one putting it
on forgets to clear away the slush.
Others walk over it and the salty
water quickly penetrates the shoes
and makes them porous. Where q
shoe has once been made porous it
will always be SO and wet feet is
the result. You might as we'll
throw away your shoes then for
you will never be able to use them,
except in very dry weather"
It is we'll known that, even in
zero weather rock salt will melt
into puddles the incrusted ice and
snow of slippery walks. This salty
ooze penetrates leather almost as
easily as if a man were walking only
in his socks. This salt solution ap-
piled to shoe soles renders them por-
GUS and susceptible thereafter to
wet of any kind.
Salt is not SO extensively used to
clear the pavements from ice in the
city at present, which, then is lor-
tunate to all but shoedealers. 1t is
said that two hours walking on
streets covered with the salty oOze
will penetrate the best of soles and
when the feet are once wet they not
only suffer from the cold, but there
is a depressing influence from it
which may prove serious later.
Sand seems to be the best thing to
throw on the pavement to keep pc
destrians from slipping. Unless fol
lowed up by shovels, salt should not
be sprinkled on the pavement.
Too much oil is not good for the
shoes either, according to the state
ment of the same shoemaker.
"Some people have the idea that
shoes should be oiled once a week,
but this is wrong" he said. mot
long ago a man employed in the
roundhouse purchased pair of
boots, and hearing that oil was
good for them took them to the
roundhouse and hung them in a
barrel Of oil. He left them there a
week and when he tried to wear
them they were too flexible to be
put on. He came up and wanted to
know what kind of boots we gave
him. Well, he wore those boots
two days and had to throw them
away"

Something Wrong.

The tax question still needs a
Earring. This was brought to our
attention right here at home the
other day when man worth per-
haps $4,000 walked up to City
Treasurer Woodhouse and planked
down $147 taxes on his place of
business and residence property
and the next man to obtain a re-
ceipt was an old miser who last
year was found to have over $50, 900
drawing interest. He secured his
receipt for $11.90. Supervisor of
Assessment Cleary and his assist
ant we're paid a salary last year

was worth and the new law that
the governor signed only relieved
him of the obligation this year,
while a year ago his taxes were

Explosion Wrecks a Hotel and Hall Dur
ing Dance and Many Persons Are
Seriously Injured.

Woodbridge, N. J., Jan. 5.-An ex-
plosion wrecked the hotel and hall of
Joseph Galaida and more or less seri-
ously injured thirty persons at Keas-
hey, four miles from here, while the
st. Johns Benevolent society was cele-
brating it's anniversary by a dance.
There were about 500 in the hall, and
one of the two exits was closed by the
wreckage. The people became panic
sticken and fought to get out, many
being trampled on and seriously in
iured.
Galaida was burned about the head
and face. His wife was thrown against
the ceiling and fell unconscious to the
floor. Miss Gertrude Elton had one
eye destroyed, her nose broken and
her jaw dislocated. She may not re-
cover. Michael Ponger had his right
arms torn off at the elbow 1t is be-
lieved that some one with a grievance
against Galaida Or the society, used
dynamite. The walls Of the building
were blown apart and it may collapse
st any time.

Oh how hard to give him up!
But an angel came down for him
And removed him from our flock.
