It is » rare smoking carriage in which there is not at lea-t one per-ou stupid enough in insist on thf windows being clo>ed. and fur some riason or other the right of the smallc-t minority to put-on his fel mvs in this nav seems in be universally lei ogni-cil. 1 know of no single vice which dies so much harm as smoking.
