Suggestions For Those Who Are Not
Familiar With Business Affairs.
The other day a lady sent some
money in bank-bills in a letter to
friend She might have registered the
letter for ten cents, or she might have
got postal order for the amount, or a
check, but she did none of these things.
The letter did not come to hand, and
both parties were in worry for some
days. Ten dollars is not large
amount, but ten cents spent in inSuring
its safe delivery would have saved wor-
ry and waiting, and having 'searchers"
sent out by the postmaster, and sus-
picion on innocent parties. If any one
is foolish enough to send bills in I'M
registered letters, they should be per-
fectly new. Old bills are detected in let
tiers by the peculiar odor they have OBJ
sorbed while passing from hand to hand
and being carried in pockets. Nothing is
more dirty or malodorous than old
bank-bills.
When a deed is given or mortgage
made, it should be at once recorded. A
young girl, year or two ago, lent all
the patrimony she had, and received a
note for it secured by a mortgage. The
mortgager told her there was no hurry
in recording the mortgage, and she be-
lieved him. In some mysterious way
her mortgage paper was lost, and she
has no means of enforcing the collec-
ton of her note, and may lose her little
all. The recording of the mortgage
promptly would have saved an expen-
sive litigation and great deal Of wor-
ry.
Contracts should be reduced to writ
ing. A mere understanding as to what
certain payments for services rendered
are to be. otter results in loss to the en-
ploye. If the understanding is reduced
to writing, unpleasant complications
may be avoided-Christian Advocate.

Ny poor little delicate arms must have
appeared in sad contrast with my swelling
calves. but the absurdity did not strike me
at the time, and the look of surprise on the
face of him for whom l posed, filled me
with delight.
The evening advanced, and in the ner-

hero, leaning up against fiat and con-

to speak and exploded again. l could
only follow the direction of his eyes, for
he had become so weak that he had fallen
in chair and there he sat yelling and
holding his sides until the company came
rushing up to ask what was the matter.
As said, l could only follow the direc-
ton of his eyes, which were fastened on
my unfortunate legs, and what sight met
my gaze.

ridges around my ankles and gave the i'm
