Understand Your Agreements.


Many OF the disputes which arise
between buyer and seller are due to
the fact that in making q contract
the terms are not clearly understood.
In so common q matter as the buying
and selling OF goods 1t is necessary
that all points relative to the trans
action should be definitely stated.
Some houses state distinctly on their
bill heads the terms on which sales
are made, so that the buyer is COM
PEELED to recop nize the terms.
There are many other contracts
which come up In the course OF busi-
ness which need a clearer understand
ing than the act Of buying goods. IL
is important that both parties should
thoroughly understand the transac.
tion. There are publications devoted
to contracts in which forms are given,
but many of these legal forms seem
better devoted to obscurlng than
clearing up matters In all trausac.
tons II is necessary to come to a
point and have that point clearly un-
derstood. Long arguments are not
necessary, and the whole tendency of
modern trade is to put things on q
basis OF brevity. 1t is advisable to
make a written memorandum of
agreements, for 1t will always 10 in
evidence and save many future dis.
putes.

BEAUTY CONTESTS OF VIENNA.
Three Interesting Occasions When Choic,
Ii Made by poDular Vote.

Three Interesting Occasions When Choice
IL Made by Popular Vote.
There are three contests among
the pretty girls of Vienna for tho
prize of beauty every year, The first,
held on the summit of Mount Kah-
lenberg, takes place on st. Anne's
day and is attended by all the not
ablcs of the city, including foreign
ambassadors, Every visitor, on pay.
ing coin equivalent to about 10
cents, receives a ticket which en-
titles him to record one vote for the
lady whom he deems the most beau
tiful. 1t used to be open to the fair
ones to canvass for themselves, and
many of hcmost enterprising would
boldly address perfect stranger,
and with winning smile inquire
whether he did not consider her
worth vote, whereupon he would
CALAMITY offer his ticket. However,
that practice has been stopped, and
the utmost that pretty candidate
is allowed to do is to appoint male
canvasscr or to ask you what o'clock
it is or at what time the votes will
be counted. And the curiosity among
them for information of that kind is
quite amazing But it is natural
enough, for beauty prize is as good
as a dowry and throws open the
gates of matrimony to the crowned
one, People from near and far throng
to these contests. Several first class
military bands are performing all
the afternoon on the mountain
Toys, gingerbread, indigestible eat
ablcs, flags and lanterns are offered
for sale. All the ingredients of q
regular fair--a Dutch kirmess-are
scattered over the place in abun-
dance, the whole ending in a bril-
liant display of fireworks at night.
At about 10 o'clock all those ladies
who have received the votes of their
admirers enter the brilliantly lighted
hall where tho members of the COM
mittee are seated, adorned with
many colorcd scarfs and badges.
The girl approaches the table, gives
her name and the number of votes
she has rcceived--in proof of which
she delivers up the little coupons
and takes numbered ticket from
the committee. An hour later the
results are read out: Miss A., hay
ing obtained 531 votes, is entitled to
the first prize-100 crowns ($2W;
Miss D., with 800 votes, has the sec
ond prizc-a silver watch; Miss c.,
with la votes, receives the third
prize-a silver medal" After this
announcement the three successful
graccs come forward, stand on an
elevated platform and show them
selves to the public, from whom they
receive a royal ovation, after which
supper, beer drinking, singing and
harmless mirth bring the friendly
contest to close toward the early
hours of the morning.-San Fran
cisco Argonaut.
