WHAT was the use of John D.
Rockefeller lodging summons a
month and then going voluntarily
on the stand and profess to know
nothing about Standard oil? Is it
any less perjury to declare under
oath that he knows nothing than to
say something that is not true that
would help his side of the case?

THE SINFULNESS OF BoRROwING.-
If there is any trait of humanity that
needs rigid reform, it is the habit of
borrowing Yes, habit is the proper
word, for no thought is ever given
of how easily it can be avoided with
little fOrethought. Besides, how
handy it is to run in on q neighbor
for the loan of some necessity, though
trip to the store might be just as
handy" but may not afford an OPP
portunity for gathering the neighbor-
hood gossip or of relating the latest
tit-bit of scandal in return. Verify
borrowing is responsible for multi
tude of sins in this way. The worst
thing connected with this habit is,
however. the deceit it involves. 1t
is seldom that the complaisant smile
which accompanies the loan of any
article extends any farther than the
lips, and if the borrower could only
fathOm the heart of the lender or
hear expressions when back is turned,
there would be much less of this fool.
ish custom. Very few borrowers are
quick to return, and there are few
lenders but who critically examine
quality and quantity of the articles
returned. In the case of tools or i'm,
PIGMENTS, they are always carefully
gone over to see if any damage ha.
resulted, and if kept over time the
fact is duly commented upon in {
way that doubtless causes many

AT Paris, last Tuesday, the appeal
of Count Boni de Castellene from the
decision of the Court last November
granting the Countess, formerly
Anna Gould, q divorce, was dismissed
and a final decree entered. The ap.

only an attempt to still finger the
Gould millions. Let us hope that
this experience, with others of sim.
