He was awakened by the maid, as it might have been ten years ago, tapping at the door. The winter sunrise was painting the east: and as the window was tothe back of the house, it shone into the room with many Strange colors of refracted light. Without. the houses were all cleanly roofed with snow: the garden walls were coped with it a foot in height: the greens lay glittering. Yet, strange as snow had grown to John during his years upon the Bay of San Francisco, it was what he saw within that most af- fected him. For it was to his own room that Alexander had been — d; there was the old paper with the device of flowers, in which a cunning fancy might yet detect the face of Skinny Jim, of the Academy, John’s former dominie: there was the old chest of drawers; there were the chairs—one, two, three—three. as before. Only the carpet was new. and the litter of Alexander’s clothes and books and drawing materials, and a pen- cil-drawing on the wall, which (in John’s eyes) appeared a marvel of proficiency. thus lying, and looking, and dreaming, hanging, as it were, between two epochs of his life, when Alexander came to the door, and made his presence known in aloud whisper. John let him in, and jumped back into the warm bed. le was ‘Well, John,’? said Alexander, ‘the cablegran. is sent in your name. and twenty words of answer paid. I have been to the cab office and paid your eab, even saw the old gentleman himself, and properly apologized. He was mighty placable, and indicated his belief that you had been drinking. Then I got old Macewen out of bed, af- fairs to him as he sat and shivered ina dressing-gown. And before that I had been to the High Street, where they have heard nothing of your dead body, so that I incline to the idea that you dreamed it.” ‘Catch me!’ said John. and explained “Well, the police never do know any- thing,’’ assented Alexander: “and, at any rate, they have dispatched a man to inquire and to recover your trousers and your money, so that really your bill is | s now fairly clean: and I see but one in your path—the governor.” “Pll be turned out again, said John, dismally. lion you li see,’’ ‘I don’t imagine so,’* returned the other: ‘not if you do what Flora and I have arranged: and your business now is to dress, and lose no time about it. Is your watch right? Well, you have a quarter of an hour. By five minutes be- fore the half-hour you must be at table, in your old seat, under Unele Duthie’s picture. Flora will be there to keep you countenance; and we shall see what we shall see.’ ‘Wouldn't it be wiser for me to stay in bed ?’? said John. “If you mean to manage your ewn concerns, you can do precisely what you like,’ replied Alexander; ‘‘but if you are not in your place five minutes before the half-hour. I wash my hands of you, for one.” And thereupon he departed. spoken warmly, but the truth heart was somewhat troubled. And as he hung over the balusters, watching for his father to appear, he had hard work to keep himself braced for the encounter that must follow. “If he takes it well, He had his is, L shall be luc} he reflected. ‘If he takes it ill, dene it 1] be a herring across John’s tracks. and perhaps all for the best. He’s a con- founded muff, this brother of mine. but he seems a decent soul.”’ -\t that stage a door opened below with a certain emphasis, and Mr. Nicholson was seen solemnly to descend the stairs, and pass into his own apartment. Alex- ander followed, quaking inwardly, but With a steady face. He knocked, was bidden to enter, and found his father standing in front of the foreed drawer. to which he pointed as he spoke. “‘Phis is a most extraordinary thing,’’ said he; ‘I have been robbed !°° “IT was afraid you would notice it’ observed his son: -‘it made sucha beastly hash of the table.’ **You were afraid I would notice it 2” repeated Mr. Nicholson. --And, pray, what may that mean 2”’ ‘That I was a thief, sir.’ returned Alexander. ‘I took all the money in case the servants should get hold of it: and here is the change, and a note of my expenditures. You were gone to bed, you see, and I did not feel at liberty to awaken you: but I think when you have heard the circumstances, you will do me justice. The fact I have reason to believe there has been some dreadful error about my brother John: the sooner it can be cleared up the better for all parties; it was a ‘piece of business,’ sir— and so I took it, and decided, on ny own responsibility, to send a telegram to San Francisco. Thanks to my quickness, we may hear to-night. There appears to be iS. no doubt, sir, that John has been aboim- inably used.’ : “When did this take place? asked the father. “hast might, sir, after you were asleep,’’ was the reply. “It?s most extraordinary,’ said Mr. Nicholson. *‘Do you mean to say you have been out all night 2’ TA night) as vou Say, sir. |E have been to the telegraph and the police offee, and Mr. Macewen’s. Oh. TI had my hands full.’’ said Alexander. “Very irregular,’ said the father. “You think of no one but yourself.” “I do not see that I have much to gain in bringing back my elder brother.’ re- turned Alexander, shrewdly. The answer pleased the old man: he smiled. *‘Well, well, I will go into this after breakfast,” said he. ‘‘’'m sorry about the table,” said the son. ‘The table is a small matter: [ think father. continued the Of a man lf tT hada have been nothing of that.”’ said the “It's another example,’ son, ‘‘of the awkwardness having no money of his own. proper allowance, this would quite unnecessary.” “A proper allowance!’ repeated the father, in tones of blighting sarcasm, for the expression was rot new to him. “I have never grudged you money for any proper purpose..”’ “No doubt, no doubt,” said Alexander, “but then, you see, you arn't always on the spot to have the thing explained to you. Last night, for instanee—’ “You could have awakened ime last night,’ interrupted his father. “Was it not some similar affair that first sot John into a mess?’ asked the son, skillfully evading the point. But the father was not “And pray, sir, how did you go out of the house °’’ he asked. ‘I forgot to lock the door, it seems,”’ replied Alexander. “TIT have had cause to complain of that too often,’ said Mr. Nicholson. *‘But still I do not understand. Did you keep the servants up 2”’ =e propose t adroit. and less come that at length after breakfast,’’ returned Alexander. ‘There is the half-hour going; we must not keep Miss Mackenzie waiting.” to go into all And, greatly daring, he opened the door. Even Alexander, who, it must have been pereeived, was on terms of compar- ative freedom with his parent; even Alexander had never before dared to cut short an interview in this high-handed fashion. But the truth is, the very mass of his son's delinquencies daunted the old gentleman. He was like the man with the cart of apples—this was beyond him! That Alexander should have spoiled his table, taken his money, stayed out all night, and then coolly ac- knowledged all, was something un- dreamed of in the Nicholsonian philos- ophy, and transcended comment. The return of the change, which the old gen- tleman still carried in his hand, had been a feature of imposing impudence; it had dealt him a stagge rae blow. ‘Then there was the reference to John’s original flight—a subject which he always kept resolutely curtained in his own mind; for he was a man who loved to have made : | when he feared he! might have made one, kept the papers | sealed. In view of all these surprises | no mistakes, and and reminders, and of his com- posed and masterful demeanor, there be-| gan to creep on Mr. Nicholson a sickly misgiving.

And if wrong had been done—and done toone who was, after. ana in Spite of, all, a Nicholson—it should certainly be righted, All things considered, monstrous as it was to be cut short in his inquiries, the old gentleman submitted, pocketed the | change, and followed his son into the | dining-room. During these few steps he once more mentally revolted, and once more, and this time finally, laid down his arms; a still, small voice in his bosom having informed him authentically of a piece of news; that he was afraid of Alexander. The strange thing was that he was pleased to be afraid of him. He was proud of his son; he might be proud of him; the boy had character and grit. and knew what he was doing. These were his reflections as he turned the corner of the dining-room door. Miss Mackenzie was in the place of honor. conjuring with a tea-pot; and, behold! there was another person present. a large, portly, whiskered man. of a very comfortable and respectable air, who now rose from his seat and came forward. holding out his hand. **“Good-morning, father,’* said he. Of the contention of feeling that ran high in Mr. Nicholson’s starched bosom. no outward sign was visible: nor did he delay long to make a choice of conduct. Yet in that interval he had reviewed a great field of possibilities both past and future; whether it were possible he had not been perfectly wise in his treatment of John; whether it were possible that John was innocent; whether, if he turned John out a second time, as his outraged authority suggested, it were possible to avoid a scandal; and whether, if he went to that extremity, it were possible that Alexander might rebel. ‘Hum!’ said Mr. Nicholson, and his hand, limp and dead, into John’s. And then, in an embarassed silence, all took their places; and even the paper from which it was the old gentleman’s habit to suck mortification daily, as he marked the decline of great institutions —even the paper lay folded by his side. But presently Flora came to the rescue. She slid into the silenee with a technical- ity, asking if John still took his old inor- dinate amount of sugar. Thence it was but a step to the burning question of the day; and, in tones a little shaken, she commented on the interval since she had last made tea for the prodigal. and con- gratulated him on his return. And then, addressing Mr. Nicholson, she congratu- lated him, also. in a manner that defied his ill-humor: and from that launched in- to the tale of John’s misadventures. not without some suitable suppressions. Gradually, Alexander joined: between them, whether he would or no, they forced a word or two from John: and these fell tremulously, and spoke so elo- quently of a mind oppressed with dread, that Mr. Nicholson relented. At length, even he contributed a question: and be- fore the meal was at an end all four were talking even freely. Prayers followed, som’s put with the servants gaping at this newcomer whom no one had admitted: and after prayers there ‘ame that moment on the clock which was the signal for Mr. Nicholson's depar- ture. “Jonn, 7 stay here. said he, ‘of course you will Be very careful not to excite Maria, if Miss Mackenzie thinks it desir- able that you should see her. Alexan- der, I wish, to speak with you alone.”’’ And then, when they were both in the back room: ‘*You need not come to the oftice to-day,’ said he: ‘you can stay and amuse your brother, and I think it would be respectful to call on Unele Greig. And by the bye,’’ (this spoken with a certain—dare we say?—bashfulness), **I agree to concede the principle of an al- lowanece: and I will consult with Doctor Durie, who is quite aman of the world and has sons of his own, aS to the amount.

When Mr. Nicholson returned to dinner they were able to put a dispatch into his hands: “John V.

The process of making glucose will be best understood by following the corn from the time it enters the factory until it runs out at a spigot a clear, colorless liquid. The shell corn is first soaked for several days in water to soften the hull and prepare it for the cracking process. The softened vators to one of the highest stor factory and shoveled into large hoppers, from which mills that merely crack the grains without reducing them at once toafine meal. The cracked grain then conducted to a large tank filled with rinsing water. The hulls of the corn float at the top of the water, the germs sink to the bottom and the por- sions of the grain containing the starch, becoming gradually reduced to flour by friction, are held in solution in the w ater. By an ingenious process both the hulls and the germs are removed, and the flour part now held in solution contains noth- corm ele- ies of the is conveyed by it passes into IS ing but starch arid gluten. This liquid is then made to flow over a series of tables, representing several acres in area, and the difference in the specific gravity of the two substances causes the gluten and the starch to separate without the use of chemicals. The gluten is of a golden-yellow colo1 and the starch snow-white. By the time the gluten has been completely elim- inated the starch assumes a plastie form and collected from the separating tables by wheelbarrowfuls and taken to a drying-room, where it is prepared as the starch of commerce or is placed in a chemical apparatus to be converted into glucose. The conversion is effected by submitting the starch to the action of a minute percentage of dilute sulphuric acid, which, without becoming a constit- uent part of the compound, produces by its presence ly a miraculous chem- ical change. This change from stare gradual process and has four er five well defined stages. On the addition of the acid the first change results in the pro- duction of what is known to chemists as dextrine. If at this the acid is neutralized by the addition of limewater. is mere h to glucose isa Stale the process is choked and dextrine is the permanent product. If the process is allowed to go on, the acid, however. works a second change and maltose is the result. the process can, if neeces- sary, be interrupted by neutralizing the acid by means of limewater, and for some purposes in the art of brewing this is sonetimes done. The third and important stage in the chemical change wrought by the action results in the production of glucese, and just here is where the greatest of the chemist is required. The product must show by Here skill test that it responds to the chemical formula C6, Hi2, O06. By comparing this formula with that of starch, which is C6, H10, O5—that is six parts of carbon to ten of hydrogen and five of oxygen—it will be seen that the sulphuric acid has not added to the starch, but has taken up two parts of hydrogen, and the only gain in the starch is one part of oxygen. The limewater introduced to neutralize the acid forms with it. a product called gyp- sum, which can be removed from the glucose without leaving any appreciable trace. The fourth stage in the chemical pro- cess results in crystallizing the liquid. and then the product is called grape su- gar. ‘There is a fifth stage, in which ear- amel, or burnt sugar, could be produced were it of any commercial value. The gypsum, or sulphate of lime. formed by the neutralizing limewater and sulphuri acid, sinks by gravitation the bottom of the vessel and the supernatent sac- charine liquid is drawn off from the top.

If. on the other hand, the reporting is done by of a Star Chamber process, en- abling a jobber to vent his malice against a dealer who has happened to ineur his displeasure, then it is wholly will work injury to both branches of business. Seeing, then, that the retailer can urge no serious objection to the efforts so far put forth by the wholesale grocers, should the Association criticised for errors of omission—for omitting any efforts which should be put forth by as powerful and influential a body as the wholesale grocers of Michigan? In the opinion of Trt TRADESMAN the Asso- eiation has laid itself open to criticism in at least two important particulars. All of the six aims above enumerated sive the jobber an advantage over the retailer not heretofore possessed. In this respect, it is proposed to work a reforma- tion of abuses which will be exceedingly welcome to the jobber. In consideration af the retailer relinquishing certain priv- aieges which he has possessed for yvears— privileges which he has come to look aipop as rights—ought not the jobber to meet him half way and make some con- in return? Most assuredly he ought. Is there anything in the con- stitution er by-laws of the Association foreshadowing such determination ? Nothing which could be construed. isn’t it unjust in the jobber to seek to wrest from the retailer six positive ad- vantages and yet refuse to give up peculiar to the jobbing trade which work to the direct benefit of the jobber and the positive detriment of the retailer? Most assuredly it is. One of the evils which the Wholesale Grocers’ Association ought to eradicate the practice of handling goods put up short-weight, short-measure and short-count. This is one of the most serious evils with which the retailer has fo contend, it comprises a leakage is no objection to a jobber re- porting if it be done fairly to the similar to ho means wrong and honorable men in be any cessions a so abuses Michigan IS as which he seldom takes into consideration. Isn’t ita little cheeky for the jobber to ask the retailer to pursue the path of rectitude while he himself continues such question- able practices? Another thing which is susceptible of a little wholesome reform is the loosness of jobbers starting irresponsible men in business and afterwards compromising their accounts—to the great detriment of the men who pay 100 cents on the dollar. These evils are by no means uncommon and are far reaching in its results. They are conducive to more ill feeling and loss than any other abuses incident to the trade. The jobber recklessly starts an inexperienced man in business in a town where he already has a number of good customers, who do business at a profit and discount their bills. The novice al- most invariably resorts to cutting prices attract trade, and the result a gradual lessing in profits all around. It usually takes but a short time to exhaust the original capital of the beginner. and by the time the jobber discovers his situation, he is several hundred dollars behind. The result a compromise, succeeded by a fresh start. or the stock passes into the hands - an equally im- prudent purchaser at 25 cents on the dol- to is is lar. In either case, the reign of cutting prices is again inaugurated and life is made hardly worth living for the reputa- ble dealer. who will neither resort to questionable methods to draw trade nor fail in business to make money. Tuk TrabESMAN has no desire to do the jobbing trade an injustice. in’ the above arraignment, but it does seem as though itis asking too much of the retail trade to insist on the relinquish- ment of old abuses which have operated to the profit of the retail trade and at the same time hold fast to more peculiar practices which no amount of argument would combat nor any jury of honest men would justify. CURTAILING THE OUTPUT. Ata meeting of the Michigan Millers’ Association, held in this city last Wednes- day. steps were taken to curtail the out- put of the mills and an agreement was adopted, to go into effect as soon as it receives the requisite number of signa- tures. Referring to the attempt of the Minne- apolis millers to curtail production. the Market Reeord makes fun of the ment in the following fashion: There is a strong competition among millers, with much sympathy for one another, but sympathy of the kind that exists among cats hung across a pole. An agreement between them to curtail production would be considered almost in the light of a bond foreed at the muz- zle of a gun, that it would be a virtue to repudiate. An agreement to shorten produc tion has never yet been effective. MmOve- .

After that no American administration could have retained his lordship in diplomatic communication; and if the American people have decided that they do not want four vears more of Mr. Cleveland, they would have been still more unanimous if he had shown himself so mean-spirited as not to resent that kind of an insult. The simple fact is that Lord Sackville presumed too far upon that spirit of deference to him which he had found so abundant in the Department of State. Under the air of the Presidential election, the Amer- ican spirit rose even there. It is a dan- gerous time. in October, to tease the American bird.

It repealed the} monopoly clause in its charter, which | was supposed to have given it the right | Red! the | to resist the construction of the River railroad. The debates upon motion to repeal leave no doubt as to the purpose of that action, Pacific ities and continues its resistance. A minor blow has been inflicted by the decision of the Supreme Court reversing | the decision of the Massachusetts Dis- | trict court in the matter of the right of he United States to bring suit against the Bell Telephone Company. that nothing but preliminary questions ; were covered by the decision now re-} versed, and that the case goes back to the | } District Court with instructions to havea. the friends of the hold fast But showed an anxiety to to those preliminary advantages which is not in-! evidently grown to such proportions that dicative of a strong confidence in their the necessity of arresting it will com-} mand attention.

Lord Salisbury did not much mend inatters when, in his speech at the Guild- hall dinner. he repaid Mr. Bayard’s rath- er irritating language by a sneer at Mr. Cleveland. Lord Sackville might have been sent about his business in smoother terms than the Secretary of State thought fit to employ. But there is not a word in Mr. Bayard’s paper which was not richly deserved. Englishmen will! not see this because they choose to regard Lord Sack- ville’s offense as electioneering for Mr. Cleveland’s eiection. It was altogether different. It was his statement, made in the Murchison letter and repeated in the Tribune interview, that Mr. Cleveland was not sincere in his retaliation policy. Whether that was true or false, it was not the business of the British Minister to say it to an American citizen, and still mort offensive was its reiteration for pub- lication after his private letter had been given to the world. If there had nothing but the letter, there might have been some escape for the administration been from resenting it, but the interview, as Mr. Phelps told Lord Salisbury, puta much worse face upon the matter. That was no ‘Republican trap.’ or it was one }own case.

James W. Caldwell in Pharmaceutical Era. Having purchased a supply of powdered slippery elm bark a few days ago, I was attracted tothe small bulk that a ten pound package presented. But upon weighing I found that the weight was correct; so opening the package I began an examination, first by the sense of smell, which led me to think wheat flour had been used as an adulterant, but not being sure I resorted to the sense of taste, which impressed me decidedly with that peculiar flavor of middlings or shorts as sometimes called. I next resorted to the microscope and taking a small piece of true bark reduced it to a powder and placed it under the microscope and com- pared it with the suspected article. I must confess that I could not tell a good from a bad article by this means although there was a marked difference, but the sense of taste and smell can be relied upon every time. ‘To satisfy myself that shorts had been used to adulterate with. 1 put a few grains ina test tube with a little water and boiled for a few minutes and applied the iodine test for starch with the result of finding it rich in the latter article, and the conclusion I ar- rived at was that middlings had been used freely, at least to 50 per cent. Now the use of this article as an adulterant in sround and powdered slippery elm bark may not be injurious and again it may, but be that as it may, when the pharma- cist pays from 14 to 20 cents a pound for the powdered bark he should at least get Jones's youngest son as the two passed a Woodward avenue store this morning. *‘A green-grocer, ny lad, is one who advertises to sell 15 pounds of 8 cent sugar for a dollar and then trusts the customer—to be paid in a day or two, you know. But, my son, the groeer gets over this greenness if he llyes.”" i A A Special Inducement. Agent—Id like to insure your life.

The maximum wages of the porter is fixed at $2.50 per day, in- stead of $12 per week, the present rate, while it makes it a misdemeanor for the porter to accept any ‘‘tips.’’? The meas- ure also deals with the through and local tariffs of the service, and wherever any discrepancies haye appeared a remedy has been proposed. Heretofore, it was possible for a passenger traveling any distance to ‘‘beat’’ the through rate by several dollars by taking the local rates for the same accommodations.

And this feather-weighted gent he Though not over one-and-twenty Has of knowledge quite.a plenty.

Tho’ he apes the draw] and sts — r When he dons his sleek claw-hamn Yet Tobias shoots his grammer, So to speak; And he questions very rarely (Se his clothes are hanging fairly \ If his brain be fashioned squarely Or oblique.

Foster ctive Girl Passed an Hour. incidents in the following sketch were observed by atravelerin a Michigan Central train the other evening. The dialogue is a portion of the conversation {The | of the participants as it developed by the ; merest chance and concluded to their common regret. As a social photograph the interview seems worth preservation. It portrays a type of modern young man and woman, by no means unwholesome, even if passing silly. The man is hon- est. the woman unbusinesslike and in- discreet. Worse she certainly does not seem to be. The sketch is offered to Mr. W. D. Howells as a vest-pocket note for future studies. ] A young lady, neither pretty nor unprepossessing, lay on the long sofa in the rear of the chair car. Every seat was taken and there was no place else for her; but if she had not the choice of seats several ladies envied her as she gracefully curled herself up on the big sofa, making a very pretty figure of For four hours she and then a chair, tilted touched her arm, and a gentleman begged did not matter He prepared to extaaordinarily did not move, back too far, good-looking young her pardon.

She took outa railroad map and began to study the black and blue and red and green which erossed and: recrossed the map without finding anything more than an old-fashioned winding in and out puzzle. iines ‘-Oh, dear, I can’t find it at all!” The young man was alert and all thought of sleep vanished. A lady in distress or in need appealed to gallantry. He turned and asked if he could be of service. ‘‘Why, I tried to find Gibson City. but ean’t. (Here is a name Gilman, but I can’t find the other. Do you suppose the man who made this map or the one who printed the ticket made the mistak¢ It never occurred to her that she was mis- that both the taken, and ticket-maker and the draughtsman of the map were COTTECT.

At the ‘rade, following the National Board held at Chicago last week, the resolutions—presented by the meeting of ot | Chicago Board of Trade—were unan- imously adopted : VHEREAS, Rendered fat from the hog in its pure state has always been branded and known as lard, and under this name has become one of the necessities of life, universal in its use, unquestioned in its quality, and has grown to be one of the most important articles of export; and, WHEREAS, During the last few years competition among refiners and dealers has caused them to seek for cheap fats with which to adulterate lard, for the purpose of underselling each other, thus causing large quantities of a compound made from the fats of the various ani- mals and vegetables to be placed on the home market, shipped abroad and branded as lard; and, WHEREAS, A few years ago shippers and curers, in their anxiety to get bus- iness by underselling each other, made shipments to Europe of partially cured meats, which were branded ‘‘fully cured,’’ thus giving a pretext to France and Germany to prohibit the importation of American hog meats on the ground that they were infected with trichina, thereby plating an unjust stigma upon American meats, resulting in great loss to our agricultural interests and to our export trade; and, WHEREAS, Judging from the action of France and Germany against our meats, we fear the refiners abroad may induce foreign governments to prohibit the im- portation of all American lard, thus dam- aging the export trade, and diminishing the consumption of honest lard at home, to the financial detriment of the agricul- tural interests of this country, which to- day own about 50,000,000 hogs, worth $300,000,000, and further damaging Amer- ica’s good name in the ecommerce of the world; Resolved, That the National Board of Trade recommends to the Congress of the United States the enactment of such laws and regulations as will compe! all re- finers and dealers to brand all adulter- ated Jard ‘‘e@mpound lard,’’ or with some brand such as will distinguish the pure from the impure article, in order that the consumers at home and abroad may know the one from the other. ————- ~ -2- —>-<—— ae Caledonia in Line on Organization.

At least two-thirds of the cases named heart disease are ascribed to rheumatism and its agonizing ally the gout.

BANK--C ASHIER—AUTHORITY—PAYMENT. According to the decision of the Su- preme Court of Iowa, a bank cashier has no authority to transfer notes of the bank in payment of a deposit, and the deposi- tor receiving the same is liable for the amount realized thereupon. SUNDAY LAW—PAYMENT—FORFEITURE. When the rent or royalty under a min- ing lease falls due on a Sunday it is prop- erly payable on the following Monday, and nonpayment on the Sunday will not work a forfeiture of the lease, according to the decision of the Court of Chancery of New Jersey. INTEREST. knowingly charges a allow- BANK—EXCESSIVE Where a National bank takes, receives, reserves or greater rate of interest than that ed by the laws of the state in which the bank is located it forfeits the entire in- terest, by virtue of the aet of Congress, according to the decision of the Court of Appeals of Kentucky. NATIONAL ENSURANCE-STIPULATION-BRINGING SUIT. An insurance policy contained a stipu- Jation that suit should not be brought after twelve months from the filing of pr oof of loss. Suit was brought by the insured within twelve months, but on account of a misdescription a non-suit was taken and an amendment filed, with a petition for the reinstatement of the cause, more than twelve months after proof of loss. The Texas Court of Ap- peals held that the suit was barred on the ground that the non-suit was a ter- mination of the first suit. INSURANCE POLICY—VOIDABILITY—CRIME. \ life insurance policy contained the provision that it should be void in case the assured should die in consequence of the violation of any criminal law of any country, state or territory in which he might be. The assured, while a fugitive from justice, committed suicide to avoid arrest and trial. The Minnesota Su- preme Court held, that the suicide was not to be considered as the proximate re- sult of the alleged crime, and that the death of the assured by suicide was not within the proper meaning of the poli- ey to be considered the violation of law there referred to. PROMISSORY NOTE—PAROL EVIDENCE. The Supreme Court of Minnesota held that parol evidence was inadmissable to show that when a promissory note was executed there was an oral agreement between the parties that if the maker should be forced to make an assignment for the benefit of creditors under the as- signment law the payee should file his claim on the note with the assignee and execute a full release to the maker of all claims other than such as might be paid by the under the assignment. The court held the evidence inadmissable on the ground that the effect of the evi- dence would be to vary the written con- assignee tract by attaching a condition to pay inconsistent with the express terms of the note. SAVINGS BANK BCOK—DELIVERY. ‘The effect of the delivery of bank a book of a savings bank depositor was considered by the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania in the recent case of Walsh’s Appeal. The court held that an assignment of such a book, like an signment of a book of original entries, will operate to transfer the entire balance remaining due upon the account, but that a delivery of it will no more trans- fer the fund than will a delivery of a book of original entries transfer the bal- ances due upon the several amounts con- tained therein. The court said: The book is, at most, a statement of account, showing how much has been deposited by the customer, to be held by the bank apon the terms which the law or the agreement between the parties has pro- vided. When withdrawn, it is by means of checks, orders, or such other form of voucher as the terms of the deposit or the usages of the institution may pro- vide, for the mere possession of the book by the bank would afford no evidence of the payment of the money to the deposi- tor. as- —- —>—o- <> - Successful Building Associations. From the Troy Times. Building associ have done a great in in ations Philadelphia work the matter of enabling men without means to pay for their homes. Other cities are copying the system with just as good results. In Chicago, for instance, are numerous or- Zanizations of the same kind, which, in the oee uage of the News, ‘‘are teaching the whole body of citizens who are in moderate circumstances the value. of small weekly savings. They are making af possible for men on salaries to procure hon nes of their own. They are casting out poverty and laying modest founda- tions on which may be built comfortable homes.’’ This testimony to the .good which such associations are ace omplist 1- ing in Ch icago is Just as pertinent if ap- plied to their work elsewhere. The prob- ability is that the system whereby a man ean pay for his home in instaliments as he would mect his rent will become far more general. ————qv18m-+ 2 All Done for Effect. *“Well, my love,’ he began, “show much do you think you can do with to-day?’ *Oh, I think $40 will be all I want, dear,”’ replied the wife. ‘‘Better take $60.’’ said the generous husband, as he banged three $20 pieces on the table. “Must be pretty well fixed, these people.’ said a new boarder to his neighbor. ‘Well. it doesn’t always follow,’ replied the old boarder. ‘‘They go through that per- formance once or twice a week for effect, and you bet there would be asquall if she didn’t return that money when they,got to their room.
