REPAIRING TINS.

Farmers who live remote from any
placc where there is Il tinsmith are often
troubled by leaks in tin roofs, or cave
troushS. Any farmer can repair them
and make them stronger than before.
Find the leak, and apply good coat of
rather thick paint; put on piece of old
ba@@lng ar coarse muslin. then Il second
coat o! paint, rubbing ii well in and
smoothly. Then co:cr with piece OF
TN, naliin" ii down tightly close to the
edge. using large-hcadcd tacks; those
known as iwcntv-four or thirty ounce.
Iron tacks ere best. Then give another
coat of paint. and the leak is not only
repaired. lnt THAI part will last much
longer lIn the rest. Old fruit cars are
just the thing for the purpose; set them
on top oi Il hot stove till the solder is
melted, aa'' tlicn ;lnttcn them out.--Nc,o

An Algerian Horror.

A performance which is quite out of
the common rut is that OF the Aissaouas
iii the Algerian concert at the Paris Ex
position. The Aissaouas are not actors,
dancers, or athletes; they belong to a
tribe where religious Juggling is kept in
great honor. TO please the Divinity they
eat the leaves of the thorny cactus, make
their eyes project from their orbits, pierce
their checks with long rccdics. have
themselves bitten by vipcrs, swallow
snakes or keep their equilibrium on n
dagger, and all this is accomplished with
out shedding blood and without appar-
cht pain or injury to themselves. After
roasting for Il few minutes over a brazicr
holding hot Goals, they look intoxicated
and give to the head IL rotary impulse
which leaves them in sort of hypnotizcd
state. Then, at the sound of particu
lar sort OF music, they perform before the
public all the acts that l have Just emu
mcrated. 1t is terrifying, even ropug-
nant, but all the same it is very curious,
and is one of the great attractions OF tho

AN IMPORTANT DECISION

A decision of interest to all business men
has just been handed down by the New York
Court of Appeals. Joseph Colwell and
Samuel S. Hepworth entered into partner
chip. The partners entered into an agree
ment which provided that the copartnership
should be continued until dissolved by con-
sent, or by six months notice by one of the
partners. The agreement also contained a
provision that, in the event of the death of
either partner, the business should be con.
tinued by the survivor until the expiration
of five years from the first day of February
next succeeding such death, the estate of the
deceased partner to have the same share
and interest in the profits, and to bear the
same share of the Losses of the business as
would have been received and borne by the
deceased partner had he lived.
few weeks later Joseph Colwell made
his will wherein he conveyed In trust to
three trustees his entire estate, excepting
two small bequests, the inco me to be paid to
his three children during their lives, and as
each should die the share upon which the
parent received In his or her lifetime to be
poia OScL W Ino SulAu1oA VI suCA QCCodscu
child. In the will there was no reference to
the copartnership business of s. 8. Hep
worth & Co., and the executors and trustees
we're not therein authorized to carry on, con-
tinue, or participate in the business. There
was, however, provision in the will author
izing them to retain investments made by the
teststor.
Joseph Colwell died soon after making his
will. Hepworth continued the business un-
til he made an assignment. Several of the
creditors began actions against Mr.. Colweli's
estate upon the ground that under the co..
partnership agreement the estate was rem
dered liable for the debts of the business of
s. s. Hepworth & Co., incurred subsequent
to Colwell's death. The executors and trus-
tees of the estate maintained that the pro-
vision contained in the eopartnership agree
ment relating to the continuance of the bust
ness after the death of either of the partners
was invalid, for the reason that 1t was an
attempt on the part of Colwell to control a
portion of his property after his death
which could be done only by will, and not
by mere contract; and that the absolute
ownership of property would be suspended
for term of Ave years, contrary to law.
The courts have decided against the plain
tiffs, and. Notwithstanding the partnership
agreements, Colwell's estate is not liable for
the debts contracted after his death.
