PecuIiar,tfxa Of Footpath..

Footpaths are what roads are not, natural productions, just as the paths made by hares, deer and elephants are. No one really makes a footpath-that Is, no one improves it. What is true of central Africa is true of England.
 'The native paths," wrote Professor Drummond, "are the same in character lll over Africa. Like the roads of the old Romans, they run straight on through everything ridge and noun tain and valley-never shying at ob- stacles nor anywhere turning aside to breathe. Yet within this general straightforwardness there is a singu- jar eccentricity and indirectness in de- tail. Although the African footpath Is, on the whole, bee line, no fifty yards of it are ever straight. And the reason is not far to seek.
 "If a stone is encountered, no na- tive will ever think of removing 1t. Why should he? It Is easier to walk around it. The next man who comes by will do the same. He knows that a hundred men are following him. He looks at the stone a moment, and 1t might be unearthed and tossed aside; but, no, he holds on his way. It would no more occur to him that that stone Is displaceable object than that fel- spar belongs to the orthOclase variety. Generations and generations of men have passed that stone, and it still waits for a man with an altruistic idea. "-Spectator.

 The profits of a boarding house con- ducted by one injured by negligence are held, in Wallace vs. Pennsylvania Rail- road Company (Pa.), g l.. R. A. B, to be properly considered In determining her earning power as an element of damages to be awarded for the injury.
 The right of the representatives of deceased person to compromise a cause of action for his death without the con- sent of the next of kin or the Probate Court is upheld in Foot vs. Great North ern Railroad Company (Minn.), g l..

 The measure of damages for the fail ure of seed rice to grow when planted by one who bought 1t under warranty and did not discover its wOrthlessness until 1t was too late to plant another crop is held, in Reiger vs. Worth Con- pany (N. O., g L. R. A. 362, to be the purchase price, the cost of preparing the soil and planting the seed and reasonable rent for the land, less its rental value for crops that could have been planted after 1t was too late for rice.
