A novel question has recently been
decided in the Irish High Court Of Jus
tice. The defendant was trader. and
the plaintiff, one Of his customers, owed
the defendant sum of money, for the
payment of which the defendant ap-
Piled to him. The plaintiff. being un-
well, directed his wife to write to the
defendant. sending him at the same time
money in part payment of the sum due.
The defendant. IN reply to this letter,
wrote In reference to the balance on
postal card, which was transmitted to the
plaintiff through the postofEioe, the IL
belous matter complained Of:
SIR:-Your plea of illness for not pay
ing this trife is all moonshine. We viii
place this matter in our solicitors hands

| The innuendo put upon this commu- :
nieation by the plaintiff was that Il meant

How TO SPLTT SHEET oP PAPER.
We have often read that sheet Of papex
can be split into three parts Thus it Is
said that piece Of newspaper can hs
divided into three leaves-one consisting
Of the surface on which an engraving OF
cut is printed, one with the letter press.
and perfectly blank sheet between
them. To those who are increduious va
command the following experiment
which we have not tried: Get q piece q
plate-glass and place It on Q sheet q
paper, which must be thoroughly soak-
ed. With care and little dexterity the
the sheet can be split BY the top surface
being removed. But the best plan is to
paste piece Of cloth or strong paper to
each side OF the sheet to be split. Whe1
dry, violently and without hesitation
pull the pieces assunder, when q part OF
the sheet be found to have adhered 10
one and part 10 the other. Soften tbs
paste In water. and the pieces can b
easily removed from the cloth. This
process is generally dem enstfated a. {
matter Of curiosity, yet it can be demoE-
strated. and Il can be utilized IN mnnS
wavs. II we want 10 paste in ser4f-
book newspaper articles printed on both
sides Of the paper, and possess
but one copy, il is very con-
veriertt TO know how 70 detach one side
| from the other. Some time ago the in-.
forna lion how to split paper IN this man-
ner was advertised to be sold for q cons
sidera bic sum.

which he came to his death being somewhat
strange. The animal had been tied TO q

away with the rope. and dangling about his
bells as he ran frightened him all the more.
He tore around at a lively rate for short
time and then taking a short cut across
the lots from Delaware street he came into
