GIFT TO WIFE.

GlFI III w Ii T..
In an action against railroad for
damages for killing a COW, there was
evidence that the plaintiff had bought
the COW and given it to his wife, who
accepted the gift. A metallic tag,
stamped with the name of the wife, was
placed in the cows ear. The COW ran
with the other cattle belonging to the
plaintiff on the farm belonging to
the wife. All the cattle We're listed for
taxation in the name of the husband.
Held, that the question whether there
was completed gift to the wife was
mixed question of law and fact for
the determination of the jury, and a
verdict for the plaintiff would not be
disturbed. One of the justices dissent
ed on the ground that the evidence
constituted a gift, and that the court
should have dismissed the action upon
the motion of the defendant.

DEFECTIVE CROSSING.
A street on which defendant operated
its cars was being repaved, and the
only portion remaining unpaved was
between one of the double tracks, where
the concrete foundation had been lala.
Plaintiff was familiar with this portion
of the road, and in crossing the track
to take a ca, slipped and was trlpped
by the rail extending above the con-
crete.

DELIVERY.
In an action upon a promissory note
signed by defendant, it appeared that
shortly before the death of the payee,
and while he was ill, he told the de-
PENDANT to get his private box ana
look in it and get his note. Upon be-
ing told that the note could not De
found in the box, the intestate told the
defendant that the note would be
found in the private file at the bank,
and that he had intended taking 1t to
the defendant. The defendant after
wards looked through this private file,
but could not find the note. Some
months after the intestate's death the
note was found in his house and turn
ed over to his administrator. Held,
that there was no gift, for want of de-

WHAT is A CURSE WORTH.
The value of a curse is regulated by
statute in Pennsylvania. An old stat
ute April %, 1894, declares that per-
son shall forfeit and pay the sum OF
sixty-seven cents for every profane
curse or oath" An information was
recently filed before a justice of the
peace, charging that the defendant
had been guilty of using thirty pro-
fame curses" on that day. After
hearing duly had the justice convicted
him of "profanely cursing three pro-
fame curses" and adjudged him to for

A Bird Of Another Feather.

A Bird Of Another Feather.
Those who are up on the subject d.
vide flying machines into two classes
the ones that are lighter than air and
the ones that are heavier than air. 1t
occurs to the lay mind that another di-
vision would be more to the point-the
machines that fly and the machines
that do not fly. The airship that turns
one or two fipfops and bumps into
the mud or that gets mixed up with
flag pole or the side Of house tends to
bring derision upon the whole sub
ject. But an ,airship that walks up into
the blue dome, wins its way against
the wind, goes where it is sent and
does not come down until its operator
is ready for it to come down is bird
Of another feather. 1t gives man the
hope that some time he can emulate
the buzzard. It will be great day
for the world when men show that they
know as much as the goose or the sand
hill crane. That day will never come
till we can flap our mechanical wings
and chase the clouds. Then only can
we say that our brains are equal to
those Of the black beetle.
Returning to the division made by
the aeronauts Of lighter than air and
heavier than air machines, it is one of
the paradoxes Of invention that the
heavy variety is the one on which most
reliance is placed. The lighter sort are,
of course, Of the balloon persuasion
The trouble with them is that they are
the sport of the wind. They cannot
make Roadway against even a moder-
ate breeze. The gas bag is SO large
that It becomes the plaything Of the
air currents. Gas bags never could go
AGAINST opposition. This is discourag-
ing, not to say embarrassing. For one

Could Not Get Enough Feathers.

The heavier than air flying machine
men got cher icea from the bird. The
feathciea people weigh considerably
more tiian tile atmosphere they dis
pace, bat that does not prevent them
from keeping aloft. Moreover, the very
fact OF their weight enables them to fly
against the wind Then what should
prevent man from maintaining himself
in the air with craft of the same
specific gravity as that Of the bird? At
least two natural advantages Of the
bird at once present themselves. One Is
the knowing how. and the other Is
feathers. AS for the first, man might
learn. but knowledge would not help in
the second He never could grow quilts.
This is more important defect than 1t
seems. Strip bird of feathers, and he
cannot fly any more than a hippopota-
mus. Some Of the early flying machine
inventors, therefore, tried to employ
feathers, but somehow they never
could getenough.
Since studying the question the aero
nauts know whole lot more about the
theory Of flying than the wisest stork
or blue jay OF them all. Any member
of the Aero Club of America could
make an eagle hang his head in shame
from very ignorance. 1t is ever so. Bach
elors and spinsters tell married people
how to raise children, and critics who
could not write a book if they tried
advise the Oldest authors If birds on
" understood human language they
would learn enough about flying to
make them dizzy.

Success OF the Wright Brothers.

age, neither of the Wright brothers is

or if she did not she would not be Of
the sort worth having. This one re-

it is that it is quite heavy as compared
