Ordered TO Pay In Installments.
From the Youths Communion

From the Youths Companion.
Sometimes, without doubt, American and
British judges, who are held to a close ac-
countability to the letter of a law which
may have in it no justice for a particular
case, may well sigh for the latitude of ar
oriental dadi. Sometimes moreover they
may rightfully bend the administration of
the law in the direction of absolute justice.
An English paper, for instance. records a
peculiar decision in the suit of a usurer
against poor woman. The man had lent
the woman money in such a way that it
was to be paid in installments and with
monthly usurious interest. The woman
was unable to pay the amount due.
The judge satisfied himself that the wo-
man was honest and honorable and that
what she had already paid in installments
would cover the original loan and rea-
sonable interest.
will you accept five pounds in dis
charger" asked the judge of the plaintiff
you will then have 10 per cent on the
loan"
The plaintiff would accept nothing less
than the full amount to which the law en-
titled him.
Then" said the Judge, although I can
not invalidate the agreement, 1 can make
an order which, 1 think, will fit the case.
/ give judgment for the full amount to be
paid at the rate Of sixpence a month"
This was the ''installment system" with
a vengeance, for at this rate of payment
the usurer would be seventy-five years in
getting his money.

A queer feature of the laundry business Is
the extent to which the local laundries are

The announcement comes from Ottawa
on what is said to be the highest official
authority that the dominion government
has decided to commence the construction
of a Canadian navy, as an auxiliary to the
imperial navy in the Strengthening Of the
British North American squadron, and will
ask parliament at the approaching session
to sanction the appropriation Of a sum Of
money to that end. The probable amount
of the appropriation is not stated, and 1t
