certain kind: and il the car Is found to

the meaning Of the contract. If by

that the defendants would assume only
such risks of loss or damage as might
arse after the contract was entered
into. the words might as we'll have
oeen left out of the contract: for. as
we have seen. the law cast upon the
defendants all such risks thereafter
arising. II these words have any sig
niilcance at all, their plain, common
sense meaning is that the defendants
must assume all risks,-defective car
and the only defense left them is that
they did not in fact get what they
bought. This was the only thing the
pialntlffs warranted: everything else
was at the risk of the purchaser.
There is no allegation that the car
contained other than the kind of fruit
contracted for, and, the defendants

IN n decayed condition, they have no
just cause of complaint.

tract was made with the owners of
the fruit who packed the same for
shipment? Under the allegations in
the plea, the owner knew just what
condition the car was in,-knew that
1t was not suited for carrying fruit,
knew that the fruit was Improperly
packed, and knew that 1T would reach
its destination in n damaged condi-
tion. While the purchaser might be
willing to assume any risks of DAM
age that might arise to the fruit when
properly shipped, it is hardly to be
presumed that he would entcr into n
contract to buy a car of fruit which
was absolutely certain to be dccayed
when it reached him. That by the use
Of the term buyers risk" the parties
intended that the purchaser must take
tho risks of transporton, but that ali

THE QUAINT JAPANESE.
PecuIinrities In Their Methods of
Living md EntinE.


Beauty, from a japanese standpoint,
consists in long. oval face regular
features, nlmold shaped eyes, sloping
slightly upward. Il high. narrow fore
head and abundance of smooth, black
hair. Their movements are graceful,
although the style of their dress pre-
vents them walking with ease; their
feet and hands are delicatcly formed
and their manners unquestionably
charming
They take little or no exercise, and
one wonders sometimes how the little
ladies employ their tlme-there seems
so little to be done In Japanese
house. To begin with, there are no
regular meals. The shops near at
hand supply daily numberless little
dishes, which seem to be eaten at all
hours of the day and night-a few
pecks ut n time--with those impossi-
BILE little chopstieks. Very little is
kept In the larder except some slices Of
dalkon. fermented turnip, some rice
and sweet biscuits.
"The honorable live fish" is sold by
men who carry large water tubs from
house to house and cut off as much as
is required from the unfortunate fish
and replace the sadly mutilated but
still struggling remains back In the
tub.
Eggs are cheap and plentiful. Bread
is never used. so there is no necessity
for an oven.
The great stand by is tea. \ Japan

without the quaint little tea tray by
her side, and the inevitable pipe, con-

AWESOME TREES.

of the Mariposa group, which are
about one hours ride from the hotel,
says a correspondent. II the smallest
of these trees could be planted any

would run excursion trains to 1t and
make money. The trees In this grove
are SO large that 1t takes good while
to fully appreciate the facts about the
size Of the biggest of them. The
Grizzly Giant" is 81 feet through Mt
the base and over 800 feet high. This
tree would overtop the spires on the
Pittsburg cathedral by about 100 feet.
The trunk of this tree Is 100 feet
clear to the first limb, which Is 20 feet
In circumference. Many other trees
here are nearly as large rs this one,
and there are 400 in the grove.
Through 1t several tunnels have been

These trees are no longer to be called

species of eucalyptus has been found
in Australia as large or larger. Emer-
