alongside the Taylor branch. Across
the railroad back from the house is a
pasture field also owned by the COM
pany and rented to their tenants for
pasturing their cows. The little Eur
isch girl with a number of companions
were going from the house to this pas
ture field to play when the accident
occurred.
The plaintiffs hold that inasmuch as
the company rents houses on one side
of the track and the pasture on the
other the tenants have an inferred
right to cross the track.
wELLBEATEN TRACK.
There is a well beaten foot path
crossing the track at the point where
the accident occurred and this coupled
with the company's knowledge of their
tenants right to cross the track makes
it obligatory that it should regard the
place as a crossing and take such pre-
cautions as the law requires to prevent
accidents at crossings.
The defense denies the contention
that there is n crossing at that point
and alleges contributory negligence on
the part of the parents i'm not keeping
their child out of the well known dam
ger.
The case was on at adjournment, the
defense not yet having begun its side

advice to men in The Ladies' Home Jour
nal. Never hang coats-fold them.
Trousers should be folded by putting the
two waist buttons together and preserv-
ing the crease. Fold lengthwise and
then double. Coats are folded length
wise, the sleeves in half first, then each
half of the coat to the sleeve line, then
the two remaining halves, the lining be-
ing on the outside. Waistcoats are fold
ed in half. lengthwisc Never lounge

DIR. Nicoll, who came to this country
with Mr. Barrie, read the American
newspapers while be was here and au-
daciously admits that he liked them.
He has confessed to The Westminster
Budget that in his opinion no American
institution is more misunderstood abroad
than the press. He thinks our newspa-
pe1s less sensational than they seem to
be and says, very truly, that you may
look in vain in them for such matter as
the divorce reports which the most prop
or English papers publish. Undoubted-
ly we Americans like the newspapers
we have better, on the whole, than any
others in the market, but we are so con-
tinually advised that our passion FOR
them is guilty, that while we satisfy it
with prodigality we seldom attempt to
justify or even to excuse it, so that to
hear our journals praised by visitor
excites emotions of considerable novel
~. After ali, liking for newspapers
is like liking for ones fellow orea-
lures, apt to concentrate itself on indi-
viduals. Ii DIR. NicOll had been impoli-
tic enough to say which American pa
pers he liked, his comments would have
gained in interest all that they lost il
discretion. -Harper's Weekly.

1t is the custom in Italy to ship fruits
in large casks filled with salt and brine.
The fruit is sliced or cut in pieces and
Immediately put into the pickle. This
fashion of shipping has its advantage
over ordinary methods in that the fruit
prepared need not be 50 fresh as that
which is shipped whole and wrapped in
papers or packed in boxes. Fruits Of
this sort are subjected TO the most rigid
scrutiny, as one imperfect specimen
may infect the entire parcel, The sailed
fruit upon reaching its destination is
soaked in fresh water until all traces of
salt have disappeared. While this meth
cd may be tolerated in emergencies, the
flavor and quality are so much impair
ed that shippers are looking for some
other way of preserving their product
