A Point Of Partnership Law.

In the Supreme Court, Brooklyn, Judge
Cullen has rendered decision that will in
terest business men everywhere.
Enoch Rutzler and George ". Blake had
been for five years partners in the steam
heating business on Center street in this
city. The co partnership was recently dis
solved, and Blake started in the same busi
ness in Wooster street. He then moved to
enjoin Rutzler from continuing the bust
ness at the old stand or anywhere else in
New York in connection with the firm
name. Judge Cullen lays down the law as
fellows:
"The authorities are plain that in the
dissolution If a partnership or the sale of a
business with its good will, in the absence
of any covenant to the contrary, either
partner or vender may prosecute the same
business at any location, even next door To
the premises occupied by the firm. In
such cases the good will amounts to moth
ing more than the probability of the GUS
toners resorting to trade at the old stand
Defendant Rutzler, therefore, has the right
to carry on his business at the premises he
has hired for that purpose"
The court goes on to explain that Ruiz
Ter may not describe himself as the sue
cessor of the late firm, nor put out any
sign or publish any advertisement calcu-
lated to mislead the public to believe that
he is the successor Oh is continuing the
business of the old concern. He may.
however, describe himself as "ately q
partner in the firm" or as being formerly
with it."

A Celestial Compliment,

One of the secretaries of the Chinese
Embassy in Washington has shown him
self apt in the art of compliment.
He was introduced to lady, who, among
other questions, asked him, What virtue
do you most highly prize in your womenf'
"The virtue OF domesticity," was the
reply.
'Then you do not like your women to
move in society much?" she questioned.
"Not at all. Our law even recognizes
cause for divorce when woman-pardon
me, madame-is inquisitive and talkative." F"
"Then l should be in danger of being
divorced if l lived in China7" smilingly
asked the lady.
''The very day that my country would
have the luck to possess a womanly being
like you," replied the gallant son of the
heavenly realm, "every cause of divorce
would be removed from the world"

The Benefit of Newspaper Train

dn editor or published ever has to do, from
directing wrappers up to writing the biog

continued through many years Of life. and

ready use at least Of his own language.
We newspaper men may write English

One can understand absolute inability to
do it al all; but no new spaper man can un
derstand how man who can do it can
spend thirtysix hours N doing it. If you

know you are never L see what you write
until you read it the Il xt day in the paper,
your copy will be Idnctuated carefully,

That is one thing. Another thing goes
with it. You will form the habit of deter
mining what you mea 70 say before you
say it, how far you " mt 70 go and where

TO you a valuable hab of life-to stand by
what has been decid'd. Napoleon gave
the same advice whea he said, "If you

Read Before Signing.

Among the pithy sayings ofa well-known
German philosopher and reader occurs the
following: Sign no paper without read
ing it," In these days of education, en-
and progress. such caution
would hardly seem necessary to any per
son in the full possession of his iacultIes;
Yet it is astonishing how many people
there are, including good business men.
who attach their signatures to papers or
documents whose contents may have n
serious bearing upon themselves or their
affairs, with scarcely glance at their con-
tents. Carelessness in failing 10 aequaint
themselves with the contents of paper
before signing it has worked incaltulabie
harm to thousands of well intentioned
people 1t is good thing, therefore, tn
bear in mind continuously the above
quotation, particularly with respect to such
papers as express or imply anything in the
nature of contract or legal obligation,

For Office Seekers.

The following story is related of Presi-
dent Lincoln: 4 local politician went TO
Washington seeking an office, but in a fort
night came back without it. what was
the trouble'" asked one of his friends
Didn't you see the PRESIDENT" "Yes. Of
course, said the politician. well, then.
why didn't you get an officei'
"Well, said the disappointed applicant,
I'VE went in and stated our errand The
President heard our statements patiently,
and then said, Gentlemen, l am sorry
that have no Office for Mr.. -, but if l
can't give you that can tell you story"
Then he went on:
"Once there was certain king who kept
an astrologer to forewarn him of coming
events, and especially to tell him whether
it was going to rain when he wished to go
on hunting expeditions. One day he had
started for the forest with his train of lords
and ladies when he met farmer.
Good morning, farmer,4 said the king.
Good morning, king" said the farmer
Where are you folks goingi'
Hunting" said the king
Hunting You'll all get wet" said the
farmer
The king trusted his astrologer and kept
on, but at midday there was a tremendous
rain that drenched the king and all his
party.
On getting back to the palace the king
had the astrologer decapitated, and sent
for the farmer to take his place
" Laws sakes, said the farmer when be
arrived, it amt me that knows when it's
going to rain, it's my donkey When it is
going to be fair weather he always carries
his ears forward, so. When it's going %
rain he puts 'em backward, So
Make the donkey the court astroloserl'
shouted the king.
. 1T was done, hut the king always de-
clared that that appointment was the
greatest mistake he ever made in his
life
Mr. Lincoln stopped there" said the
office seeker. "'Why did he call it mis-
takea we asked him. Didn't the donkey
do his dutyf'
Yes, said the president, but after
hat every donkey in the country wanted
an office"

WOMAN'S INTUITION.
Nearly Always Right in her
Judgment in Regard to Com
mon Things.

An old gentleman over seventy. came
into the city frou his farm, without his
overcoat. The day turned chilly and he
was obliged to forego his visit To the fair.
y To friend who demonstrated with him
FOR going away from home thus unprepar-
ed. he said: Il thought it was going To be
warm; my wife told me to take my over
coat, but | wouldn't Women have more
sense than men anyway"
4 frank admission.
Wcincn's good sense is said to come
rom intuition; may it not be that they are
more close observers of little things. One
hing is certain. they are apt to strike the
ai on the head. in all the ordinary pro-
aems of life, more frequently than the
ords OF creation.

No l..
Too Good Not TO Tell.

Four Of Us had gone to Europe toyetbsy
in lssS-Dr. Mcvicar, of Philadelphia,
Phillips Brooks and Mr.. Robinson. tho
builder of Bcston's Trinity church. Rob-
inson stands six feet two inches in his
stockings; DIR. McVicar measures SIX
feet four inches, ard Brooks exceeds six
feet in height. Robinson is sensitive about
his length. and suggested that in order to
avoid comment the three tall men should
avoid being seen together Arriving in Eng
land. they went direct to Leeds, where thsy
learned that lecturer would address the
working classes ON America and Ameri-
cans Anxious TO know what Enelish-
men thought of the Great Republic, they
went to the hall. They entered separate
Is and took seats apart. The lecturer, af.
ter some uninteresting remarks, said that
Americans, as a rule. were short, and sell
dom il ever rose to the height of five feet
ten inches. He did not know to what
cause he could attribute this fact, but he
wished he could present examples to the
audience
Phillips Brooks rose to his feet and said:
Il am an American, and, as you see, about
six feet in height, and sincerely hope that
if there be any other representative Of my
country present he will rise"
After moments interval Mr.. Robinson
rose and said; II am from America, in
which country my height-six feet two
is the subject of no remark If there be
any other American here, hope that he
will rise"
The house was in jolly humor. Wait
ing until the excitement could abate in
some degree, and the lecturer gain control
ot bis shattered nerves, DR.. Mcvicar slow
" drew his majestic form to its full height,
and exclaimed: Il am an But he got
L" farther. The audience roared and the
lecturer said no more on the subject.

Deep Mining.

The mine at st. Andre du Poirier,
France, yearly produces 100000 tons of
one 2,952 feet deep and the other 3,os3
feet. The latter shaft is now being deep
ened, and will soon touch the 1900 foot
level A remarkable feature of this deep
mine is the comparatively low tempera-
ture experienced, which seldom rises above
75o Fahr In the gold and silver mines OF
the Pacific coast, at depth OF iess than
half that of the French coal mine. much
difficulty is often experienced in keeping
the temperature low enough to admit OF
working. In some levels OF the Comsiock
lode the temperature rises as high a. l2o'
Fahr.

A Substitute for Tobacco.

Many different vegetable substances
used as stimulating beverages in widely
distant part parts of the world have been
shown to contain caffeine as their active
principle. Only one substitute for tobacco
has, however. as yet been discovered. This
the leaves of the Dgboisia hopWoodii, a
shrub growing in Australia, the leaves of
which are chewed by the blacks in the
same way and for the same purpose as to-
bacco is chewed The leaves contain an
slkaloid, piturine, which is said by GER
tain chemists to be identical with nicotine,
but more probably is only closely allied to
it, Messrs. Langley and Dickinson have
recently shown that the actions of nicotine
and piturine are in every respect identical.
