Corporation Iusolvent.

The corporation is insolvent, not so
much because a fund Of 81. 49,, 463. 80 is
discovered TO owe 81, lo9, 67l.3 besides
said contingent liability, as because of
the injury TO its credit. IL cannot borrow.
Ii cannot meet its current liabilities as
they mature This is, in law. insolvency.
This condition of things is bad but by
no means hopeless We discover that we
are about 20 per cent worse off than we
knew. But To this arithmetical loss
must be added the credit of the corpora
tion and the difficulties consequent upon
such impairment.
Your board thereupon voted TO take the
requisite steps for the appointment of
receivers, for the protection of property,
till it can either be relieved, or dis
tributed in legal distribution.
The following receivers have been APP
pointed BY the Circuit Court of the
United States; Mr.. Edward Tawser, pres
ident OF the First National Bank; Mr.
Morgan Rotch. president of the corpora
tionI and Mr.. Thomas B. Trip and they
are now in charge with authority To oper-
ate the mills and carry on the business
The court also issued an injunction pro-
tccting the property in charge of the re-
ccivers from outside interference. This
gives you for the present timo TO formu

Secret Negotiations Indicated.

Rome, May Am Athens dispatch TO
III Corriere Della Sera, of Milan, says
RiccOtti GarIbaIdi had a long conference
with King George, who seemed more pre-
occupied with his position in the eyes of
the powers than with the war. His
majesty, IL appears. was In excellent
humor. Continuing the dispatch asserts
that NJ. Rail- the Greek premier, after
suggesting that Riccotti Garibaldi should
enroll Greeks among the Italian volun-
tecrs, now requests him TO suspend the
enrichment Of Italians, which leads To the
belief that secret negotiations to end the
war are proceeding.

Forgotten How to Play.

Gentle mother, whose life is full of
work and care, have you forgotten how
to play? If so, let your own children
teach you over again. Join in their frol,
les, share their sports, learn to play
their games. 1t may seem loss. of time
to you, but it means infinite gain to the
children for the mother to be also the
playfellow.
This cannot always be done, but it
can be done often enough to increase
manifold the child's delight in sport.
There is no opportunity like it for in
culcating the doctrine of fair play and
of unselfish sharing of toys. From be-
ing pleased and proud to have mother
play with them, they can easily be led
to the desire to make her have a good
time, and from that to the considera-
ton and practice OF giving other peo-
pie pleasure. Remember the playtime
is his best time for the average child.
They learn quite early enough that they
can have good times without the moth
er. Do everything to postpone that
evil day, and, leaving the welfare of
the child out of the question, the play
will do the mother good. 1t takes away
the worry, and makes at least one
bright and sunny half hour in day
that may be full of cares. We have no
space to enumerate the advantages, but
they are many. Try them for your
selves, dear mothers, and help each
other by reporting the results of the
trying upon your heart and also upon
the temper and spirit of your child.-N.
Y. Ledger.
