Few Points i'm Regard @ Checks
and Notes Worth Knowing.
The Chicago Neaos publishes the follow
ing on the essence of legal regulations ac-
knowledged in all States
The maker of an accommodation bill or
notethat is, one for which he has received
no consideration, having lent his name or
credit for the accommodation of the holder
lis as fully bound to all other parties as if
there were good consideration.
No evidence may be introduced to contra
dict or vary written contract, but such
evidence may be received in order to explain
the contract when it is in need of explanation.
If one holding check as payee or other
wise transfers it to another he has right to
insist that the check be presented that day,
at farthest, the day following
Checks or drafts should be presented dur
ing business hours, but in this country-ex.
cept in cases of banks-the time extends
through the day and evening.
An oral agreement must be proven by evi
dence. A written agreement proves itself
The law prefers written to oral evidence,
because OF ltS precision.
"Value received is usually, and should be
written in q note, but is not essential. If
not written it is presumed by the law, or
may be supplied by proof.
If a note is lost or stolen it does not
release the maker. He must pay it if the
consideration for which it was given and
the account can be proven.
If the letter containing the protest of non
payment be put in the post Office, any mis-
carriage does not affect the party giving
notice.
note Endorsed in blank-the name OF
the indorser only written-is transferable
by delivery, the same as If made payable to
bearer.
Each individual in q partnership is re-
sponsible for the whole amount of debts of
the firm, except in cases of special part
nership.
An agreement without consideration is
void q note made on Sunday is void; con-
tracts made on Sunday cannot be enforced
If the drawer of check or draft has
changed his residence the holder must use
all reasonable diligence to find him.
note made by q minor is void; con-
tract made with minor is void; contract
made with lunatic is void.
The time Of payment of note must not
depend upon contingency. The promise
must be absolute.

Hot Food and Drink.

In the art of eating and drinking the
temperature of the article consumed bears
an important part Generally more attention
is given to the cold than the warm foods
Tho danger of a too cold drink, be it water,
wine or beer, the injury to the stomach by
water ices, ETC., are every day topics.
Much less apprehension is felt regarding
the equally prevalent habit of gulping down
hot soups, steaming coffee or tea and boil
ing hot victuals of all kinds. If the teeth or
mucous membranes of the mouth, throat
and oesophagus could speak they would
earnestly protest against these scalding
processes and ask their respective proprie-
tors to take little sanitary precaution in
this direction. A little care here would
prevent much gastric trouble.
The injurious effects of such hot food
are as follows First, in the weakening or
total abolishing of the sense of taste. Weber
has proved that the tongue, when exposed
for half minute to water Mt u tempera-
ture OF 122.126.5 degrees f., does not dis
tinguish the sweet of sugar, an abormal
condition which at higher temperatures,
will naturally be heightened and quickened.
This may be the cause of so many dishes
being spoiled in cooking, owing to the
cook tasting the food at too high tempcra-
ture.
An other injurious result of too hot foods
is from the consequent inability to properly
masticate the food, thus losing tho benefic-
ial effects on digestion of the saliva. A
further injury is evident on the enamel of
the teeth, especially where high and low
temperature are rapidly alternated. These
quent exposure of the bony structure Of
the teeth to carries. Therefore, drinking
icewater while eating hot food should bs
carefully avoided.

POETRY.



Out to the barn the children hte
When the sun is hot In the summer sky
Out In the barn where the lveiong day
The breezes rustic the fragrant hay.
Oh, the balm OF the perfumed air
Oh, the breath of the flowers fair
Which bud and bloom In the meadows wide,
With daisies and buttefeups side by sldel
"Up to the loft" cries Jack, SVEN go.
For the breeze is cooler up there, you know
And golden haired Elsie follows him fast
TIL the top OF the ladder is reached at last,
And over their heads, in the rafter strong,
The doves are cooling their sweet love song,
While in and out at the wide barn door
The swallows are teaching their young to sou
o, dear old barn on grandpas farm,
May winds nor storm ever do you harm;
For grandpapa in the "long ago"
Over your rafters climbed, we know
And grandma, quaint little maiden she,
His chosen payfellow used to be.
And with book and dolly midst the hay
Up In the hayloft loved to play.
Mary d. Blias.

swiftness Of the wild Duck.

Thomas Alexander, in his book entitled
"Game Birds of the United States" says
that wild ducks, unaided by the wind, fly
from 60 to 100 miles All hour, and that the
blue-winged teal, "going down the wind at
the top of his speed, will make fully $50
miles an hour, possibly more.
