during his lifetime.
The Court says:
i. The contract of an insane person,

never been adjudicated to be insane or

Voidanie. such n contract may he

ing sane, or during lucid interval. or
after his death may be avoided or rat

tatiVe In case like the present the
contract is voidable at the option of the
personal representative. M
:. "hen an insane person enters into
contract while insane, and under tina
contract property of value is realized
Wy ms estate and his administrators
takes possession of that property, and
Keeps ana uses IL ms the property of the

may amount to u ratification of the
contract. The administrator certainly
mas the power. for the benefit of the cs
tate, to ratlfy the contract; and If he
does so. by conduct or by express agree
ment, the estate will become bound
thereby.

WHETHER A SALE OF LAND

PROVED TO PREVENT SUCH

The point decided is shown by the
Courts opinion.
The Court says:
1t cannot be affirmed as n fact or as
a conclusion of law that a sale Of land
subject to an undivided interest Will
in every case result in its sacrifice. No
absolute or inlleXible rule can be laid
down on tho subject Whether the sale
\of Il tract OF land subject to AN undl-
Sided Interest will injuriously affect the

lar case. If IL will, this should be
shown by him who is avcrse TO 1t.

den, was nevertheless upon them TO
prove that this would be The result.
This, however, they did not do. The

not, 1t is true, respond to this particu-

TOSSING THE PANCAKE.
Old shrove Tuesday Custom Observed
at Westminster School.

Tossing the pancake is yearly OBJ
served on Shrove Tuesday at Westmin-
ster school, and is accompanied by sew
eral quaint customs. The cook, bearing
a frying-pan With 4 huge pancake, is
escorted by Verger, in his robes and
carrying the silver mace from the college
kitchen 10 the great SchoolroOm, where all
the boys are assembled. The cook tries
to toss the pancake over an iron bar
which runs across the room from one wall
10 another. If the pancake goes clear
over. the boys make u rush. and try each
to catch ii whole. The one who succeeds
in doing so, gets Il guinea from the dean
on showing it in an unbroken condition.
The cook also receives a gift--ten shillings
if he does his work properly. Nova
days, only so many boys join in the strug-
gle for the pancake as there are forms in
the school. Each form names a repre-
sentatives. Formerly the whole school
made a rush, which was rather a danger
Gus sport.
Not only are pancakes dedicated to
Shrove Tuesday, but 'coquilleS must also
be eaten. CoquiileS are found at all Eng
lish CONNECTIONS upon this day; they are a
current loaf made i'll the shape of shell
hence the name
Clipping the churches is another Shrove
Tuesday custom. Children join hands
and walk three times around their parish
church. repeating the lines:
Shrove Tuesday. Shrove Tuesday, poor
Jack went to plough,
His mother made pancakes, she scarce
ly knew how;
She tossed them, she turned them, she
made them so black,
With SCOT from the chimney that poisoned
