A finished manufactured product,
which had been entirely completed in
the fall of one year, and as to which
nothing further remained to be done,
except to be sold when the opportunity
offered, and which is stored because
not sold, until the following April, is
not employed in the mechanic arts
on the first day of that April, SO as to
come within the meaning of the first
paragraph of r. S., c. 6, sec. z, for the
purposes of taxation.
Where starch has been manufact-
ured in q town other than that in
which the owner was an inhabitant
and was stored in the town where
manufactured, until after the first day
of the following April, awaiting ship
ment by rail out of that town as the
same should be sold, no sales being
made or intended to be made in that
town, and all of the sales and cor

made in the town where the owner
lived and conducted his business, it
is not employed in trade in the town
where stored, within the meaning of
the section above referred to, for the
purposes of taxation.
Held, further, that the defendant did
not occupy any store or shop in the
plaintiff town for the purpose of the
employment of this starch in trade.
While a storehouse may, under some
circumstances, come within the mean
ing Of the word "store" as used in the
statute, it does not in the case be-
cause the defendants storehouse was
not occupied by him for the purpose of
employing this starch in trade in the
plaintiff town. The starch was not in a
store for trade, but in q storehouse for
storage.
Judgment for defendant.

sion, while SO at work an explosion
occurred causing him great injury; it
is fairly to be inferred that the exDlo-
sion which did this injury was of
fragment of dynamite cartridge
placed N the ground in the course Of
blasting the day before, and which had
not exploded wit the rest.
Held, that under these circumstances
verdict for the plaintiff was war
ranted by the evidence upon the
ground that the defendant had failed
to perform its duty to give notice to
the plaintiff of the peculiar dangers
attending the use OF dynamite as it
was used in the prosecution OF this
work, or instructions as to the means
to be taken of avoiding such dangers.
Also that the damages awarded by the
jury were not excessive.
Motion and exception overruled.

state Librarian Carver says that n
sreat many of the calls for travelling Ii
Dfdlies come through the Instrumental
ny Of the various oranges through the
slate. lie thinks that this educational
feature of the grange is one that the
iarmers greatly appreciate. The major
ny of the travelling libraries thus far
SENT out has been at the suggestion of
some of the grange officials In many
cases extended letters have accompanied
the request suggesting the character of
ne books and the line of thought de-
sired.
The purposes for which the books
We're wanted have as a rule been clear
~ defined ard Mr.. Carver has had no
diacuty in making the compilation
some of the patrons have mapped out a
most pleasing line of study in one in
stance of a geographical nature taking
art and literary tours through the vari-
Gus countries. Occasionally all the books
pertaining to some distinguished author
are desired, and at other times all the
volumes on certain war.
While considerable fiction has been
included in these travelling libraries, MI
Carver says it is surprising to note how
many of the deeper philosophical works
have been included in the invoices. The
fact that great many debates are held
in the several oranges occasions the de
mand for quite a number of works on
science, religion and philosophy. In the
opinion of Mr.. Carver, the travelling sys-
TEN is proving a strong educational fac
tor.
Moreover it is no doubt true that the
good influence of the travelling libraries,
which are retained in one community but
six months, at longest, has led to the
permanent establishment OF many grange
and town libraries, which will grow to
he large and influential institutions. TIE
advantage and helpfulness of the travel
ing library is so positive, that those VINO
have enjoyed its benefits for a lew
months, feel the need of having the per-
manent library the use of which can be
depended upon the year through. And so
the library spirit grows the permanent
library takes the place of the small tray
cling library and finally comes the large
free public library. The evolution Is
natural and the results make for the bet
ter education of the people.
