SERVANTS, "CHARACTRRs."


A decision has just been rendered in Eng
land which will do something to define the
between employers and domestic
servants. A butler left his employer, and in
seeking new place he said that he left upon
q difference of opinion regarding wages. He
evidently relied upon his reference not be-
ing looked up, for he accepted employment
subject to his former employers reply to an
inquiry. The reply was to the point-'T
discharged John Walsh for insclence." The
result was that John lost his new place and
sued his old employer for damages. The
defense was that John had said his mistress
was emo lady," that she did not know good
cooking, and that she bought by the
penny's worth, etc., etc. This being 60,
John was discharged without a written
character, and merely the truth was told
when inquiry was made. John lost his suit,
Although. the judge said, of late servants
almost demanded written characters, no
employer was bound to furnish one, but If he
did it must be true. No action would lie
against an employer for giving bad char
acter, If true, for the occasion was q privi-
leged one. In order to lay q basis for damn
age malice must be proved to Offset the legal
right and duty to tell the truth. Thus in
struoted, the Jury found for the truth-telling
master, and the judge added his approval,
saying that if such actions were frequent
masters would unanimously refuse to say q
word to help servant to q new place.

WOOD PAVEMENT.


London is place where street pavements
are severely tested, and it is interesting to
note that wood pavement finds much favor
there. 1t has three points in which 1t excels
sshphalt and granite - the comparative
immunity which it affords from accidents,
the less fatal results of falls which do take
place upon it, and its noiselessness. There
are at the present moment something like
five million square yards of wood pavement
in London, and this area has been laid with
In the last nineteen years. The wood used
for the purpose is Baltic redwood, and the
blocks are picked in creosote oil before be-
ing laid down. A great number of trials
have been made with view to determining
the suitability of different kinds of wood for
this purpose; but none have, on the whole,
proved so satisfactory as Baltic redwood.
OF the native woods, larch makes
the best pavement; but it is
not sufficiently plentiful to permit
it's use beyond small extent. Blocks of
elm and of oak have been given trial; but
1t has been found that they do not stand
changes of temperature well enough to allow
them to be employed. A great deal Of ex-
pertinent was necessary to determine the
most suitable way in which to lay the blocks
that form wood pavement. All sorts OF
different arrangements have been tried, with
the result that placing the blocks in rows
across the line of traffic have been found to
afford the most satisfactory results. The ap
proved method leaves a space of about q
quarter of an inch between each row, into
which the hot bituminous mastic is poured
to the depth of an inch or so, the remainder
being filled with osment-grout.
In this country wood pavement has no,
achieved much popularity. 1t evidently ha,
much to commend 1t, or 1t would not be 81
extensively used in London.

One of she attorneys of the Sugar trust
attempts to make point for his clients by
saying that they have been injured by the
revival of obsolete principles of law. The
Providence Journal thus comments on this
complaint: It IL true, of course, that the laws
against forestaliipg are among the very oldest
parts of English jurisprudence and that they
belong to period when 1t was considered
within the function of courts to fix the rate
of wages and the price of bread and beer.
But those laws were founded on good reasons
| in the then conditions of economic life, and
they have been allowed to lapse only because
competition has in the meantime been found
| to be better restraint on excessiv,
prices than market regulation of I
more artificial character. But politi
cal economists long ago predicted that wheI
combinations became possible and comepeti
