Sleeping in japan.

Speaking of sleeping customs. the Jap

two large, thick futons or cushions are
spread directly on the mats of the bed

enormous kimono or clothes are spread
over them. Every traveller has told of the

The prettiest pose which woman can
possibly attain say they lis that which
comes by standing between and under the

the side or may be occupied in lightly
holding back the irapery of the costume
worn. The other hand must be elevated
delicately lifting or pushing away the
drapery above and to the right Such a
position offers unlimited opportunities for
the most graceful posing possible TO wo-

Here, then, is the salvation of the tired

HOW FAR MAY A SERVANT co?
Some Interesting Decisions on the Liability
Of an Employer.

An interesting inquiry frequently
arises whether an act is within or
outside of the scope Of a servants en-
ployment, especially where it is sub
stantially to serve some purpose of his
own rather than to promote his mas
ter's interest
Inc most amusing case of this kind
that has ever come to our notice is
Winkler VS.. Fisher. % Wisconsin. SO.
Mr.. Fisher, the elder, told the defend
ant, his son. aged 16. to so into a GER
tain field and shoot crows and he would
give him 10 cents apiece.
Instead of this. young Fisher Went
squirrel hunting with another boy, and
having captured two they went to a
neighborng house to get a string to tie
the animals together, and in the course
of the visit young Fisher careIessly
and Internationally discharged his
gun, and the shot dotted the plaintiff &
eye.
The jury found for the plaintiff, but
the appellate court reversed the iudg-
ment. holding that hunting squirrels
for fun was not shooting crows for re-
ward, and therefore was not within the
scope of the employment
Another case, not so amusing is Kai-
ser vs.. Mclean. 20 App Div. 326 The
defendant, contractor to build an
elevated railway, employed a man to
light lamps at the works and keep boys
away. Boys intruding on the work, he
threw a stone at them and chased them
away beyond the structure, and one of
them unnecessarily ran on a railroad
and was killed by a train.
1t was held that the employer was
not liable. There was no evidence
that he was employed or authorized bv
upon anybody in keeping his lamps
lighted and the boys away from them"
One judge dissented, and we think he
was right to certain extent; the mas
ter would have been liable if the stone
had killed the boy. But there is some
doubt on the point of proXimate cause.
and the court seems to imply this, for
they say there was no need for the boy
to run on the track, he might have run
in another direction with the other
boys.
In striking contrast is the decision in
Meade VS.. Chicago etc. r. Co., 6S No,
App. 921, holding the defendant liable
for the act of its servant. employed to
keep BUNS" away from the station, in
saturating plaintiff clothes with ben
zine and setting fire to them.-Green
