Every time a cigar dealer takes a hand-full of cigars from the box and Spreads them out on top of the show case for the purchaser to select from he violates one of the most stringent laws in the United States. The internal revenue law has a rigid provision to the effect that retailers must not take cigars from a box after it has been packed and stamped. He should always hand out the box to his customers and let them select from it.

An exchange happily remarks: Men have various ways for carrying money. Butchers and grocers carry it in a crumpled wad. Bankers in nice clean bills laid in full length in a a morocco pocket-book. Brokers always fold their bills twice. The young business man carries his money in his vest pocket, while sporting men always carry it in their trousers pocket. Farmers and drovers carry their money in their inside pocket. Editors carry theirs in other people’s pockets.

The Indiana supreme court decides that where a passenger was wrongfully expelled from a train, not paying extra fare, the jury had a right to consider in estimating damages that the original wrongful act was, in the sense of the law, directly responsible for the train of injuries caused by it, including any illness or exhaustion resulting from the long walk he had to reach his destination. A railway company cannot charge a passenger extra fare for failure to purchase a ticket, unless it affords reasonable opportunity to purchase such ticket. The painting and decorating of the vast interiors of the great a exhibition halls at Chicago is an enormous undertaking. Frank Millet is the artist in charge. A recent estimate of the area to be covered with paint developed the fact that it would be impossible to set enough men at work with brushes to complete the task in time for the opening of the fair. Mr. Millet thereupon contrived a machine for doing the work. It consists of a piece of gas pipe flattened at one end to make a “spray.” From this a rubber hose connects with an air pump driven by an electric motor, and beyond this is a barrel of paint. The pump sucks paint from the barrel and the air jet sprays the paint with, force upon the surface to be coated. Four workr&aa with thismechanism can accomplish more in a day than a small army gs painters could in .a week. ■■ ' J.
