[New York Commercial Advertiser.] England has the strictest of blue laws, and they are enforced with considerable rigor in certain narrow areas. Any person whatsoever who does or exercises any worldly labor or work of his ordinary call ing on the Lord's day is liable to a fine of $i.a3. Works of charity and necessity are alone excepted; a barber unsuccessfully pleaded "necessity" for his Sunday shav ing, but a claim for a tooth drawn on Sun day was upheld. To take a drive or to take a walk on Sunday is forbidden. Sweethearts are strictly prohibited from walking "during sermon time," and a quiet game of cards at home Is a crime against the morality of the realm. Every absentee from his parish church ought to be fined a shilling, and all haunters of alehouses dur ing service hours should be mulcted of 83 cents. Contrary as are these laws to mod ern sentiment, prosecutions under the Sun day trading act are increasing. Twenty years ago they numbered t,too per annum; now 4,000 cases are dealt with, but the areas of sabbatarianism are few, if persist ent. Hull is responsible for 3,5oo sum monses. Bismarck landed there on a Sun day, and whistled cheerily as he walked to his hotel. A grave Hull worthy reproached him for his ungodly whistling, and Bis marck immediately left for Edinburgh. Yarmouth is also severe on Sabbath trad ers, while Cardiff and High Wycombe fol low close in zeal. At Hull the same trades men are summoned week by week, and the $szaS fine now constitutes a regular feature towards business expenses, Bowling at the Pfister.
