Thew was once a law which Diade It an offen.se for a man to kiss nis wife on Sundav, but was strangely silent about kissing some other man's wift.. Many a man still living can remember when U was not psrmissible to open the theaters in Boston on Saturdf.y evenings, and there ;as a law to punish any dissipated individual tound smoking on the street. Some of these fantastic oíd legal freaks havo been done awa with, but there are somo communitips which, like some iniivlduals, rfiquiro quite an unconscionible time to get wide awakti. - Boston Traveller.
