ERNBST H. BOTSFORD, H C. PETERS, Auditors. Nuremberg. Nuremberg whk ouce a I most the rich est nud most famous town la Europe. The well known SUJ IIIS of Pope I'ius 11. that a Nuremberg rltl/en was bet ter off than a Scottish I.in* was justi fied by the accounts that have been preserved of the towu and its burghers. In the fifteenth century there came from Nuremberg the first watches, known as "Nuremberg eggs;" the first cannon, the first gun lock, the first wire drawing machine, the clarinet, certain descriptions of pottery and the art of painting on glass. For 800 years its walls defended the valley of the Pegnitz against all enemies. Four hundred towers ouce topped the walls, but only about a third of them now remain. Old Laws Against Smoking. Prussia's laws at one time inflicted; penalties for smoking, not only in rail way carriages, but In any public place. In 1840 the prohibition was so far re laxed as to allow cigar smoking in the streets, provided the lighted end of the cigar was protected by a kind of wire cage, which was supposed to ob viate the risk of Are from flying ■parks. This was soon found to be an unworkable regulation, and after end less petitions the government allowed the smoking of naked cigars in public. But until 1848 any smoker retaining his pipe or cigar in bis mouth w{ien passing a sentry or an offlcer in uni form was liable to a term of imprison ment. No Bals. "I should like," said a book canvass er to a merchant whose sanctum ho had invaded, "to call your attention to a little work which I have here." "And I will call your attention to a mighty mass of work which 1 have here," replied the man at the desk. BIG APfc ATiaCKS OFFICER Huge Ourang-Outang Broke From Hit Cage on Ship and Had to Be Killed.

Curfew In London. Although we rlo not ring the curfew beli to clear the streets of children. Its warning sound can still be heard in one place lu London. This is at Lincoln's inn. where its ringing is a relic of mediaeval times, when bar risters and students lived In the Inn and were subject to the despotic rule of the benchers In such matters loug after there was a legal necessity for "lights out" at 9p. m. Now Lincoln's Inn Is deserted In the evening save by watchmen and the police and perhaps the ghosts of all the parties in Jarn dyee and Jarndyce. who may revisit the scene of their litigation—the old hall which remains as Dickens describ ed it In the wonderful opening chapter of "Bleak House."—London Chronicle.
