Law in Condensed Form.

A note dated on Sunday is void. A
note obtained by fraud or from one in

note be lost OF stolen it does not release
the maker; he must pay it. A note by

Ignorance Of the law excuses no one,
1t is q fraud to conceal a fraud. The

An agreement without consideration is

AN amusing little episode occurred
during the visit of the Duchess of
Teck to Exeter Hall, where she went
the other day to distribute the prizes
given by the Ragged School Union.
A regular programme Of songs reci-
t%ations, etc, had been arranged for
the entertainment, and first on the
list stood the "Hurrah!" chorus, by
which the Princess was to be welcomed.
Most unusual thing, however, for her,
she was very late, and the chairman,
Lord Kinaird, was obliged to begin be-
fore her arrival. The chorus and a song
had already been sung before she ap-
peared; the children rose to welcome
the Duchess with the next song on the
list, which, by a queer chance, hap
pened to be entitled Wake up, Mary!"

stated that not more than one homicide
in q thousand was committed by an in

The paper also declared that three
fourths of the people are insane, and
also that insanity is not hereditary.

ONE of the marvels of electricity,
and one of the most striking of the Edi-
son exhibits at the Paris exhibition.
was the little instrument which enables
the operator to sign a check 100 miles
distant. The writing to be transmitted
is impressed on soft paper with an ordi-
nary stylus. This is mounted on a
cylinder, which, as it r~evolves, mates
and breaks" the electric current by
means of the varying intentions on the
paper. At the receiving end of the wire
q similar cylinder, moving in accurate
synchronism with the other, receives
the current on a chemically prepared
paper, on which it transcribes the sig
nature in black letters on a white
ground.

Two YEARS ago George Croft; of Osh-
kosh, Wis, loaned a friend $40 to be
returned by mail. Soon after he re-
ceived a letter asking if he had re-
ceived the money. Croft replied no.
Soon after he received a letter with the
$40 in it, and the friend declared he
had once before sent the money. A
short time ago Croft received the first
letter containing $40, which was sent
Aug. II, 1883, to Ashland, and had lain
there two years.

SHAMoY or wash leather, properly
chamois leather, is so called because
originally and when of the best quality
it was made from the chamois or wild
goat iahabiting the Alps and Pyrenees.
It is now made chiefly from the skin of
deer, goats and sheep. It is essentially
distinguished from other kinds of
leather in being dressed in oil without
salt, alum or tan, and in the grain
being taken off. The skins are brought
toa state of pelt by lining and washing.
The buff color is impaired by dipping
into gamboge, not to tan, but dye
them.

ANY edict or decree which contains an
order or decision to be publicly de-
clared and published by the Pope is
called a papal bull, though it is only
Indirectly that the latter word is ap-
piled to the document itself. 1t belongs
properly to the seal without which the
paper would not be recognized. This
seal is rarely of gold or of wax. It was
originally of lead, and is still commonly
Of that material. Lead was used for
seals in the time Of the ancient Romans,
and is still used for that purpose in
Italy, where it is known by the name of
bolla. It was in Latin bulla. The
same word also occurs in Tamco.bolla,
the italian name of postage-stamp. In
this instance only the name occurs.
Both the material and the form have
dropped out of sight. The Roman
bula was a circular disk, OR a case like
a watch Or circular locket. 1t was
worn by boys Of noble families, at
tached to q chain which was wound
several times around the neck, and
which fell in front so that the bulla
rested on the brest. The object was
frequently a little case which contained
a charm against sickness and the "evil
eye," which was dreaded even more
than the disease. At q later time the
bulla was worn by the sons of freed
men at Rome. It's use was a mark of
rank and gentility.
