Foreclosure. Reversed.
The rule that an agreement in writing
supersedes all prior or contemporaneous
oral negotiations or stipulates concern
ing its matter has no application to a
collateral agreement upon which the
instrument is silent, and which does not
purport to affect the terms of the in
strument.
There was no averment in the COM
plant that the payment of the water
rate constituted a lien upon the lands:
therefore. evidence of the payment
thereof should have been excluded.
Furthermore, it should not have formed

The Treating Habit.

1t was Pope Telesphorus, who died
before the year $50 A. D., who insti-
tuted Christmas as festival, though
for some time it was irregularly held in
December, April and May. But for CEN
turtles before there had been a feast Of
Yule among the northern nations whose
great enjoyment was in drinking the
wassail bowl or cup. Nothing gave
them so much delight as indulgence in
carousing ale," especially at the sea-
son of short days when fighting was
ended 1t was likewise their custom at
all their feasts ''for the master of the
house to fill large bowl or pitcher, to
drink out of it first himself, and then
give to him that sat next, and SO it
went around. " This may have been the
origin of that popular American custom
known as treating" 1t is certain that
upon our Christian observance of this
glorious day have been migrated habits
taken from rude and barbarous people.

News From the Orient Interests San
Francisco Mercantile Circles.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 22.-In mercan-
tile circles of San Francisco much at
tention is paid to news from the Orient.
The intelligence that a Russian fleet
has occupied Port Arthur, following so
closely upon the news that Russia had
OBJ aimed firm grip on Korea, leads to
the belief that active hostilities be-
tween the mikado and the car cannot
long be deferred. 1t is regarded
as significant that agents Of the Rus
sian empire have recently made extern
sive purchases OF army supplies in the
United States for the garrison at Vladi-
vostock. A few days ago cable messages
from Vladivostock, via St. Petersburg.
We're received in this city inviting sew
eral firms to bid on an immense guam
tity of provisions. The merchants here
anticipate great demand for supplies

Reminder of an Old Custom.

Hundreds of old country people, espe
oially of Irish birth, will remember the
Christmas candle which is lighted and
placed in the window at midnight Of
Christmas eve and allowed to bum there
on the successive nights until it is all
consumed. 1t is one of the most inter
esting of all the customs associated with
the rel igious celebration Of the Christian
festival 1t is symbolic, of course, of the
"Light of the World" but some hold
that with the mistletoe, the holly and
the festive practices of the season it goes
back to Druid or pagan origin and is
derived from some olden symbolism OF
the returning warmth of the sun. How
ever this may be, it is not generally
known that the custom has been pre-
served in Canada to this day by a few
old country people, comparatively speak
ing. to whom Christmas would not bear
its holy message without the tall wax
candle shining in their window.

HOW to Prevent Pneum or.ia.

At this time of the year a cold is very

without the aid of some reliable cough
medicine is liable to result in that dread

remedy to cure a cough Or cold than Cham

quite extensively and it has always given

This is the only remedy that is known to
be a certain preventive of pneumonia.
