When the train stopped at Painesville, O., Xtswsboy s boarded it; and one pf them ?cftlled out: "All about the new supreme ?court judge of New- Mexico. Silas ^Alexander appointed.9* The governor *>f the territory and Mr. McMillan look ed at each other, and they bought a paper, and in that paper they read In ^glaring headlines that Silas Alexander cf -Santa Fe had received' tire appoint ment to the vacant judgeship. "Mr. McMillan the morning of his ar? rival in the capital went at once to the abmce-of tbeaecretary of war. /"""How did it happen I was not ap "polnted?* he asked.

Mr. - Griggs "irokethe silence. ^Well, gentlemen." he said, -the fat .'IS? m .the fire, but we must get it ont. 3Jy subordinate bas made this mistake. ?nd 1 must do my best to get it recti ^ed. and perhaps the fault ls partly mine, for I told him to fill in the name *jf ?the Buffalo man,' and be. probably.

And so the three men went to the president and explained matters, and as a consequence a messenger, preced? ed by a telephone message, sped rapid ^^toward the capitol with instructions .fe -seek" immediately"the leader or the senate and prevent any action on the mistaken nomination and* to make the statement to that leader that it was .^withdrawn. ??

It is one of the curiosities of old time legislation that the use of tobacco was in early colonial days regarded by the magistrates and elders as far more in? jurious, degrading and sinful than that of intoxicating liquors. Both the use and the planting of the weed were for? bidden, the cultivation of it being per? mitted, only in small quantities, "for meere necessitie, for phisick, for pres? ervation of the health, and that the same be taken privately by anncient men.** . But the "creature called tobac ko" seemed to have an indestructible life. Mrs. Alice M. Earle writes of these early restrictions about tobacco in "Stagecoach 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 .^ctualler** and another to '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 be? fore strangers. Two "men were forbid? den to smoke together. No one could smoke within two miles of the meeting house on the Sabbath day. There were wicked backsliders 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 travelers were astounded at being requested to cease smoking. Mr. Drake wrote in 1SS6 that he knew men. then living, who had had to plead guilty or not guilty in a Boston police court for smoking in the streets of Boston. In Connecticut in early days a great indulgence was permitted to travelers a man could smoke once during a jour? ney of ten miles. HE DID HIS BEST. " ?? j Celebrated Mo?!clan*? Adventare In . a Swiss. Country Village. The late. Sir John Stainer, one of England's most celebrated musicians and composers, was several years ago in a small .'Swiss village, and the Eng? lish clergyman was on the lookout for a. musician to assist at the service. Stainer was in the smoking room of the hotel when the clergyman found him and started the conversation with "Do you play the harmonium?'* "A lit? tle*," was the reply of the ex-organist of St Paul's cathedral. "Will you. then, be good enough to help us out of our difficulty on Sunday? We will read the psalms, and the hymns shall be the. simplest I can select'* added the delighted parson.. "I will, do my best?, said Stainer, with a smile. The service passed off all. right, but the congregation, instead of rushing away ?tthe close, listened to a brilliant recital. When the parson beard the .name of his assistant, .he asked him to dinner.. "Do you smoke?" he said at the; close. "I will do my best," mut? tered' Stainer! and the ensuing laugh- - ter was the prologue of an entertaining exchange of Oxford reminiscences. Stainer was a great story teller. One anecdote he was fond of relating lia-* reference to.the days when there were amateur orchestras in churches. The "Messiah" was being sung, and as the line "Who is the King of Glory?" ap? proached.the man playing double bass whispered to the violoncellist in front of:him. "Let us have your rosin, and I will show 'em who is the king of glo? ry!**-London Tit-Bits. Great Patent Nation. The United States grants 25.000 pat? ents per annum, or nearly as many as all the rest of the world. . England grants 8.000 per annum and France and Germany each about 7,000. and such countries as Canada, Australia. Austria. Italy and Russia grant abont 4.000 each. An interesting and hopeful fact ls that more patents are granted In proportion to the applications than ever before In the history of the patent office, showing that mechanical genius is not- chasing as many rainbows as formerly. American inventive genius ls shown in all lines of invention, but It greatly- predominates in machinery for manufacturing, transportation and labor-saving. Europe and the orient have begun to find that without Amer? ican Industries they would be unable to go ahead.-Success. . Waat Hiebt Have Happened. A sporty young gentleman of the city who drives a dainty runabout which is the envy of the other young men of his set was driving down Main street the other day when he nearly ran over a six foot countryman.. The countryman caught the bit and sat the horse upon its haunches without apparent effort and then complacently remarked to the driver: "Sonny, you bad better be careful how you drive that doll buggy of yourin. If I hadn't collared this here horse, you would 'a* run that thing into me and smashed it all to kindling." Memphis Scimitar. Difficult Dutch. The Dutch language is of a good old fashioned tongue. 11 is 50 difficult that English speaking people cannot with? out difficulty acquire it In fact some folk say it is more like unto English than lt is to German. The Boers in South Africa use the Dutch tongue as it was spoken 200 years ago. So More Wbispers. "It is a great drawback to be getting deaf." "Yes, it is: people quit telling you se? crets."-Chicago Herald. Nearly every Chinaman can read, but 90 per cent cf the women are en? tirely uneducated.
