ASSISTANT Secretary of State Smith,
who is commissioner of motor vehicles,
took very decided steps last week when he
sent word to the managers of the New
York Herald that all persons connected
with that journal would hereafter be bar
red from obtaining a license to run an
automobile in New Jersey. The cause of
this drastic measure was that an auto,
used to carry the belated edition of the
Herald, ran from Camden to Atlantic City
at rate much greater than was permitted
by the laws of this state. The eviden &c
of this trip was secured from the Herald,
which gave glowing account of the rate
at which the machine sped across the
state. To make matters worse the driver
of the auto did not have license to drive
in New Jersey. 1t has long been con.
tended that it would do no harm to
haul up few of those who, according to
newspaper reports, make record breaking
trips, and commissioner Smith has acted
on this line. His action in this case il
very creditable and will doubtless be pro-
ductive of good results. Since he has
been in the Office of commissioner he has
shown that he does not intend to be a
figure head, and this fact has caused
more regard for the law than used to be
shown.

Burmese IndoIenee.

Burma is said to be peopled by about
the LATEST race In the world. Work Is
never done except when absolutely
necessary, and even then as little as
possible, and that In the easiest, most
shiftless manner. If Burman wishes
TO cultivate piece of ground he sets
fire to the bushwood as a cheap, easy
and ef1cacious method of preparing
the virgin soil. For two or three years
he cultivates that piece Of land and
sets fire to another spot, allowing the
jungle to grow In the old place, which
will be ready for returning when the
other ground wants rest. Rice grow
ers dispense with plows, turning loose
instead number of buffaloes. which
cut up the saturated sod with their
boots. When Burman has earned a
little money he Immediately proceeds
to spend it all, for the Burmese have
no ambition to be rich and never
hoard. Consequently there are no
large landowners, and, there being no
aristocracy, the people are as near be-
ing on an equality as possible. Poor
folk are quite as rare as the rich. and
the only beggars to be met are the
lepers, who sit on the steps of the
pagodas.

Irish Duelino Code,

The Irish dueling code was drawn
up by the Irish bar at the Clonmel as
sizes in 1777 and appears to aim at so
arranging matters that no Irishman
anxious to fight shall be baked by his
wish. "The first offense requires the
first apology, although the retort may
be more offensive" after one fire the
retort may be explained away But If
either party" the code hastens to add
would rather fight on, after two shots
each the principal who made the re-
tort may explain and then the original
offender tender his apology" when
the lie direct is the first offense. the
aggressor must either beg pardon in
express terms, exchange two shots pre-
vious to apology, or three shots fol
lowed by explanation, or fire on till
severe hit be scored by one of the par
ties" mo dumb firing or firing in the
air, is admissible" "In slight cases
the second hands his principal but one
pistol, in gross cases two, holding an
other case ready charged in reserve"

1T is all nonsense to think that women

that men are just as likely as women

them.
Take clergymen. OF all persons,
whether men or women, they show the
greatest vanity when it comes to buy
ting pair of shoes. The clergymen l

only few exceptions they have all
shown the greatest willingness to sub
init to discomfort If only their feet can
be made to appear smaller. They will
struggle and tug and get red in the
face to squeeze their feet. into shoes
that nature never intended them to
wear. Take my word for it, no wom-
an could possibly be more vain of her
feet than is the average clergyman

Some years ago one of the inspectors
Of mines conducted a number of ex.
perlments on the explosive power of
coal dust. A disused shaft $50 feet
was chosen for the purpose. Samples
of dust from different collieries were
collected for the purpose. When two
hundredweight of dust was emptied
down shaft and charge of gun
powder fired, the result was startling.
Huge tongues of fame sixty feet in
height shot up from the mouth of the
shaft, and enormous columns of smoke
rose high In the air. forming a great
black pail over the scene of the ex-
plosion. On the other hand, when high
explosives were used no effect at all
was produced on the dust Coal is the

Oddly enough, these MOSES were the
big forefathers Of the moss we know
as lycopodium. which in a powdered
state is used to produce flash signals.
