The following genuine bull" story is
related by down town merchant: An
out of town customer, 10 whom some
goods had been skipped, discovered, as
he thought, a mistake in the bill over
charging him to considerable amount.
He wrote TO the merchant in the city
without delay, and the letter was duly
received. 1t dwelt at length on careless
ness in general and particularly in the
case of this bill, waxing indignant over
the foolish mistake and demanding acor-
rect bill at once. At the foot Of the let
ter was the hastily written postscript 70
ghis effect, 'Jlince writing the above /
have re-exauined your bill and find 1t

Removing Paint.

"Never use turpentine to take the
paint off your hands, but always use
kerosene" said a pretty and energetic
lady who plies the brush most vigorous
ly, albeit in very utilitarian fashion,
painting her boats, doing all the neces-
sary household renovations and not dis
daining even to varnish her own village
cart when it needs it. "Turpentine
roughens the hands excessively" she
continued, but kerosene, on the con-
trary, keeps them beautifully soft and
white. For your brushes you should also
kes, a small keg of oil ready and put
them in it directly until you are ready to
wash them. 1t quite ruins your brushes

4 GOOD EXAMPLE,,

Isn't it about time for Connecticut to begin to take some interest in the Torrens system of land registration and transfer? It will, we suppose, be long time before the merits of the system are appreciated in this country enough to be put into law, but they are plain and great. We will cali the attention of our readers to some of them and thus do something toward getting them mo- ticed.
 Under the Torrens system land can be transferred without the red tape and rigmarole which now govern the mat ter. In New South Wales, where the system is in full operation, an owner who wishes his land placed on the register has to make application and submit all his title deeds for exam- ination; he Is also required to make oath to the value of the land. Public notices of the application have to be issued, and any person may enter q caveat against it. The time for lodg- ing caveat lapses from thirty-five to seventy days after publication of notice,
The daily morning journal and courier., 1894-07-19

unless proceedings are taken and notice thereof served on the registrar general, or unless m injunction is obtained from the supreme court restraining the registrar general from bringing the land therein referred to under the provisions of the net. Further machinery Is pro- vided for obtaining decisions on any doubtful or disputed point, and there is n general right of appeal to the Supreme court. When the title has been ap- proved, the name of the owner Is entered on the register, and n certificate of title is issued. The former title deeds, so far as they have exclusive reference 10 the land in question, are cancelled by the reglstrar-general. On being regis tered as owner the applicant acquires n title which, subject only to such incumbrances or interests as are on- tered on the register, Is m indefeasible one. Provision, however, is made for the subsequent invnldation of oertiii- cate of title, if it can be shown to have been obtained by fraud. If the certin- cate of title should have been lost, n copy of il attestcd by the registrar gen eral will suffice for all the purposes for which the original certificate was good. After the land has been brought under the provisions of the net, all future dealings with it become extremely sim plined, the land being transferred or dealt with by short instruments framed according to certain simple statutory forms, which in their turn are duly reg istered. new owner acquiring land by such transfer may either have fresh certificate of title issued to him, or an endorsement showing the transfer put upon the old one. In addition to the advantages of facility in dealing with land, the registered owner obtains the enormous one of hay ing his land protected against the stat ute of limitations, and therefore not liable to be taken from him by any amount of adverse possession. No in- strument dealing with land is effectual until registered.
 Of course reform in the transfer of land may be expected to be slow, as slow perhaps us rise in it's price when such rise is eagerly looked for, but the old way Is so cumbersome and expen- sive and the new way so simple and economical that change will probably be generally made sometime.

coon BEATHER FOR CORN.

Gentle render, as you wend your warm and weary way from one thermometer 10 another, only 10 become convinced that the heat has three times as many degrees as the most degreed Freemason, do not lose sight of the fact that this weather is good for corn. The thought that il Is isamost comforting one. Man cannot live by bread alone. He must have some Johnny-cake, hasty-pudding and corn-miins. And even now, while he is glowing and sweating kindly Nature Is fixing things so thnt he can have them. Tine greedy crow and inc cut-worm assassin have been somewhat foiled, and what is left of the corn is waving Annie dear, growing Ike sixty and gathering gold out Of the golden sunshine. Therefore let us be glad that however uncomfort- nblc we may be corn Is comfortable. And instead of despairingly saying 10 those whom we meet "Is 1t hot enough for your" let us chcerfully say, "Good weather for corn, isn't it?' Thus while rejoicing in the growth of corn we can encourage the growth of altruism and optimism.

FASHION NOTES.


 Lace and Emboiderie. Without Stint.
 So unsparing is the use of laces that often when the summer girl sits down she is fluff of lace to the knees. Her skirt fits closely to the knees, having only one seam in the back. There is set on a much gored lower part. Over this is deep flounce of lace put on as full as ever it can go and"with all its flare encouraged. At the foot of the skirt are several small frills of lace and sometimes for fear the fluff will not be enough, the silken skirt is slit up all most to the knees so that through the openings the rich lace of the under petticoat, itself fit to be out in the

CHRISTIANS AND CARDS.

Should n Christian indulge in socia ] card-playing; Cards have been called the devils picture book, and many have discovered that the devil is in them
 But how devilish are they when used by Christians 10 make an idle hour or sev- eral idle hours pass pleasantly? We suppose the true answer to this conun- drum is that it depends on how they are used. Cards certainly have way of interesting people so that even if people are Christians they may play too many nights week and sit mp too late on the nights when they play. Cards do not encour- age sober thought, and we are afraid that they do encourage some cheating. They also have bad reputation, and some Christians who play cards feel ob- liged to make excuses for having any thing to do with things that have been and are so immorally used. They in- spire an eager and a selfish ambition in Christians to beat, and they lead to a good deal of unchristian quarrelling. And we suppose that there are not many Christians who would want to drop dead at a card party, even as there are not many who would want to drop dead on the floor of a ball room.
 Christians who want to play cards and who also want to enjoy their relig- ion are confronted by the fact that there isn't much fun in the kind of card play ing that would be universally recog- nized as having nothing devilsh ill it. The kind of card playing that is popu- lar and fascinating is the kind that is apparently not conducive to growth in grace. Thus Bishop Vincent says of progressive euchre: "Take that fash ionable form of card-playing, progress sive euchre, what is it but gambling? What difference in principle between the forfeits of the one and the prizes of the other? The fact is that the path to the innermost hell of gambling is through the clover bloom of fashionable card-playing." Of course no Christian should walk in that path even if it does lead through the clover bloom of fashionable enter tainment, and every Christian should be prepared to eschew fun that is not morally wholesome. So, perhaps, a Christian cannot profitably indulge in the kind of social card playing that is the rage. If a Christian wants to be in the swim in the matter of social card playing he will have to give much time, thought and talk to it, and he will also have to gamble more or less mildly. And if he wants to play cards in an entirely safe way he won't get anybody to play with him. But fun or no fun, it is probable that Christians will, on the whole, do better to let social card playing as at present conducted alone. We do not consider the object of the Christian life to be to have as much fun as possible and to have fun in any way that hasn't the plain mark of eleven foot upon it. It would probably be wise for most Christians, and of good example, not to play progressive euchre five or six nights in week. It would also be the same for those who are not Christians

But the designs for the lace displayed are so many that 1t now seems as if every woman had her own, and if she hasn't ideas for the use of faces, she's sure to have them in em- broideries. To-day's picture presents a novel and handsome embroidery trimming. Here the blouse waist has a square yoke in back, which, together with the fronts is embroidered. The vest is made of mousseline de sole and fastens beneath the embroidery on one side. The epaulettes consist of velvet and accord with the Louis vX. sleeve of the satin. which Is garnished with lace insertion and an embroidered frill.

 If hands and arms will stand 1t, you may wear your party. gown without gloves. In such case the nails must be beautifully kept, and the fingers may be literally loaded with rings, Tur- quoises are as fashionable as ever, and the fancy just now is to have them set with pearls. The craze for color has resulted in the setting of strongly tint of stones together. Emeralds, tur- quoises, rubies and sapphires are made | up together, often with curious effect
 For rings to wear in full regalia the lighter stones are preferred, set in pro. fusion of diamonds. There is a fancy for bar ring, worn on the third finger, the bar stretching across the little and second finger.
