THE law of finding is not generally
understood, says an exchange, but it
was decided many years ago, and it is
we'll to note the case and the decision.
A visitor to store found wallet
containing a sum of money. He hand
ed the wallet with its contents to the
merchant. After three years, the
owner having failed to appear, the
finder demanded the wallet and the
money from the merchant. The lat
ter refused to deliver them on the
ground that they were found on his
premises. The finder then sued
the shopkeeper. 1t was decided
that, against all the world but the
owner, the title of the finder is
perfect. The receiver of the article
found is only trustee, first of the
owner, and then of the finder, If the
owner does not appear. The receiver
has no right to keep an article agalns'
the finder, any more than the finder
has to keep it against the owner.

KENlLwoRTH IVY.

II You Want the Real Thing, Never Go TO
KenI,worth Castle For 1t.
"'Could | get some slips Of Kenil-
worth ivy anywhere about the ruinsf'
heard woman ask Of the lodgekeeper
at Kenilworth castle one day" said a
traveller.
"'You are an American, aren't you,
madam asked. the keeper, with smile.
"'Why, yes, but what of that? re-
sponded the lady, with some slight en-
barrassment
"'All American ladies come and ask
me for Kenilworth ivy after they have
searched in every nook and corner OF
the ruins for it, explained the keeper.
They have told me how common it is
in America and how much it is priced,
and generally explained that they have
promised to take some Of the. real thing
back from Kenilworth ruins for friends
at home. They tell ME they expected to
find the ruins of Kenilworth castle over
grown with the beautiful "Kenilworth
ivy" and that it is generally supposed
| in America that such is the case, and
| that the ivy first came from here or is
named after these ruins because of its
abundance here.
''The woman nodded assent to all this,
and the keeper continued;
"'But what you know as "Kenil-
worth ivy" doesn't grow in or about
Kenilworth ruins, as you've no doubt
discovered. And he smiled again, and
the woman also smiled in an embarrass-
ed way, for she had been hunting every
inch of the ruins over, looking for the
plant. From the description of the plant
which Americans give me think it is
what we call ground or wood ivy that
Won treasure so much. 1t has small,
bright green leaf and bears tiny white
flower. It grows on the ground in the
thickets and under the hedges in cool
places, but never saw it growing on a
wall as the common ivy does. l don't
think there is much of it anywhere here
abouts, but it grows in abundance IL
some places farther south. The Amerl
can ladies always seem very much dis
appointed when l tell them "Kenll
worth ivy" doesn't grow here in Kenil
worth, and I'm very sorry can't give
you some, ma'am.
"And the woman turned away, with
little sigh, as she thought of the hang
ing basket at home which was to hav'
been filled. with real Kenilworth ivy
, and of the many friends to whom sh
had promised slips of the real thing
when it had grown. The ruins of Kenil
, worth castle are covered with thicl
masses of ivy, but it isn't 'Kenilwortl
ivy, but just the common kind "-Nev

The Aim of Christ,s Work.

"Peace on earth" was the aim OF
Christ's work in this world, writes Ed
ward Bellamy in The Ladies' Home
Journal. The whole gist Of his doctrine
and the burden of his teaching consisted
in counsels to men how to put an end to
strife with their fellow men and live TO-
gether with them in mutual helpfulness.
All this teaching, which was the whole
content of his gospel. was grouped about
and crystallized in the golden rule,
whereon our modern world is founded
as on an everlasting foundation. To be-
lieve in Christ and not to believe in the
golden rule as the only plan for socia
organization seems to us moral ane
rational impossibility-an unthinkablt
proposition. Just this, however, our an
cestors undertook to do and it is fair tt
admit that they were very frank abou
it. They made no pretenses.

From other laws in older days.

Half in delight and half disdain.

When streets without are cold wit

And shall lose u constant friend.
