only matter of description or Identification.
Policies OF insurance, unless the language ex-
cludes the presumption, must be presumed to
be made with reference to the character of the
property insured and to the owners use of it
in the ordinary manner and for the purposes
for which such property is ordinarily held and
used. Where the language is not too explicit
to admit of it, the policy, SO far as regards the
question whether it covers the property when
removed from the place where it is described
as being at the date of the policy, is to be in
terpreted upon this presumption. So language
which occurring in policy upon property from
its character and in it's ordinary use kept per-
manently ana continuously in one place as a
stock of merchandise, machinery in a build
ing. or household furniture things stored
might perhaps be held to limit the risk to the
property while in the place contained as de.
scribed by the policy could not without de-
feating the manifest intention of the parties.
! receive the same Interpretation when occurring
in policy upon entirely different property,
the real and beneficial enjoyment of which for
bid its being kept at all times in one place,
such as horses, carriages, farming machinery,
etc.
The presumption we have referred to bears
not only on the clause describing the location
of the property, but also the condition in refer
ence to an increase of risk.
| The condition in this policy seems more ap.
| plicable to insurance on buildings than NOV
able properly. Inc D1dnk USED was evidently
such as the company usually employed in in
surfing buildings rather than movable property
| But although apparently more applicable to 9
building than to this kind of property, it musi
be given effect if possible in this policy.
| As the insurer insures the property while
used by the owner in the ordinary way. and fol
the ordinary purposes for which the property is
kept, he assumes all the risk from fire incident
to such use, and not that merely incident te
the property during part of the time OF
while it may be kept in particular place. In
this case the mules were used in cultiyating 6
particular farm. The policy covered then
while SO used, and if the risk might
be at times greater in such use than while the,
might be stabbed in the barn. that greater risk
is assumed by the company. The condition
against increase of risk refers to an increase

FASHION NOTES.

- Square silk handkerchief will be
worn around the neck this winter.
-Cfocheted hoods for little children
have ruching inside and a silk pompon
to ornament the top.
A trimmed skirt of elaborate designs
with jaunty basque, is the popular model
for silk costume.
Most of the bodices for evening
dresses lace behind, and are fastened
with very small fine lacing strings.
The newest white ties have peacocks
embroidered on the ends, the plumage
being artfully copied in fine fosses.
--Bonnets OF blue and green velvet
and satin combined, decked with garni-
lures Of peacock's feathers, are worn
with tartan suits.
The fancy for plaid dresses contin-
ues, but they are always considered
neglige or fatigue costumes, or are worn
for travelling or for indoor toilets.
The newest buttons are bullet
shaped; some are in colored pearl,
others are brass, steel and crochet.
When two coIors appear in dress the
round silk button is of the light shade,
nearly covered with crochet OF the dark
er shade.
Gold pins and earrings in Japan
ese designs have the fans in colored
enamel; an open fan, with flying birds
painted on it, needs to be examined
with glass in order to appreciate the
delicate workmanship.
French gold and silver necklaces
have several rows of small coin shaped
pieces, with highly polished surfaces.
The earrings TO match have two strings
Of coins which look as il they were
passed through the ear and hung down
in long pendants.
New lace pins, in fine gold,ar in the
form Of oars, brooms, trumpets, whip
handles with the lash twisted around
them, pens, keys, rolls Of music, Sec
tons Of fence, with the bars half
down, ladders, on whose rungs flies,
beetles, or toads are perched, and 9th
ers of strange devices.
Amber is very fashionable. Amber
balls are used as earrings, or several
cut amber beads are strung together to
form pendant earrings. Cut-glass
beads in amber color are used to form q
net work to trim white evening
bonnets, for ornaments in the shape Of
butterflies or flowers to be used with
pheasant breasts on white bonnets.
Keys and snakes are just now the
favorite designs for jewelry; it would
be rather hard to tell why. "A fan chate-
laine is snake with coils around the
waist, and being pliable hangs down at
the side in very unpleasantly suggestive
twists; while earrings in plain dull gold

It follows that we each of US carry

another To the man on your doorstep
