There are duties levied on tobacco and
spirits, but travelers are allowed a
half pound of tobacco In any shape and
a half pint of spirits, which also In
eludes perfume. Sugar Is dutiable,
whether In grain, sweets or in Jam, but
a small quantity Is freely passed. Iu
all cases, however, these goods must be
the actual property of the passenger
and lie for his use and control. Cocoa,
coffee and tea are also dutiable, as are
reprints of English books. Outside of
these things, as named, passengers can
bring in anything — motors, cycles,
horses, but not dogs, which animals a

The questioned superiority of these
old and often battered Instruments has
been variously ascribed to the peculiar
quality of the varnish used In their
construction, to the elasticity of the
wood employed and to the ripcuing and
improving effects of age and long use.
Of late years, however, much cre
dence has been given the suggestion
of an eminent authority that the real
cause of the superiority of the old In
struments Is due to a peculiar warp
ing of the wood to a higher arch, a
buckling caused by the position of the
“F” holes and sound post.
It might at first thought be suppos
ed that the same effect could be pro
duced by giving an equal arching to a
new Instrument, but the effect. If at

age the arching increases until too

of the best method of raising funds
tor the support of the “cause.” From
the subjoined description of a native
meeting sent home by a missionary it
would appear that native generosity,
although of a rough and tumble char
acter, is distinctly productive of ways
and means:
“Recently I attended a native tea
meeting, at which more than £12 was
raised by this very poor congregation.
Their way of doing it was characterise
tic and amusing. They paid 2 shillings
to sit down to tea. Then some one
would pay 3 shillings for such and
such a roan to be required to get up
again and leave the table The man
thus assailed would pay 3s. fid. for
leave to sit down again. There was a
special table at which six could sit,
paying an extra shilling each for the
privilege. They had just got seated
when a man paid 7 shillings to clear
them out. and they paid anotheV,8 shil
lings to sit on. and so it went on. They
arrange all this themselves, and this Is
their way of giving to the cause. One
iran had a tin of sirup. He said he
would pay 2 shillings to pour It over

A codfish carved in wood hangs on
the white mahogany wall of the Massa
chusetts hall of representatives In the
statehouse in Boston. Between two
classic pillars it occupies a place of
honor, directly opposite the desk of
the presiding officer. This wooden fish
Is the renowned original sacred codfish
of the Old Colony, and It has assisted
at the deliberations of the lawmakers
of Massachusetts for more than a cen
tury and a half, gathering sanctity year
by year. It is a relic of the old build
ing which preceded the present state
house, and great Is the dignity of this
souvenir of colonial art aud Industry.
The following account of its origin
Is given in a Boston paper:
“Captain Johu Welch of Boston was
the creator and carver of the celebrat
ed fish. He was a wood carver of re
nown for his time and In 1747 estab
lished Ills business In Dock square. He
belonged to the Ancient and Honornble
Artillery company and afterward be
came Its captain. He was called upon
to contribute to the decoration of the
colonial assembly hall, and as nt that
period codfish was the colony’s main
article of export Captain Welch con
ceived the Idea of Immortalizing the
king fish of the Massachusetts waters
When completed the carving was fin-
Ished off and colored so as to be a fac
simile of life and was hung on the
wall of the assembly hall."

Many quotations came from the
works of Thales, the Greek philosopher
and one of the seven wise men. It was
he who said. “Know thyself.” “Few
words are a sign of prudent Judgment,"
“Search after wisdom and choose what
Is most worthy," "There Is nothing
more beautiful thau the world." "Time
is the wisest thing, for It Invents and
discorers all things.” He also said
that It was the hardest thing In the
world to know oneself and the easiest
to admonish another. In his youth
Thales was urged to marry, but he
said, "It is too soon.” and later In life
upon being urged again he said. “It Is
too late.”
