The existence of a new and curious busi noss in Paris has just been made public. This is the hiring out of wedding presente to brides, so that they may impress their friends and their acquaintances with the number and value of their gifts, Jewellery, lace, furs, etc., are lent out for a considera- tion, and after they have sorved their pur pose and been duly chronicled in the news papers they are roturned to the owners. It appears that a well known Paris jeweller does a large business of this nature.

Sunburnt Skins.

If girls would have the courage to mako themselves look conspicuous, they need not Fear sunburn to the summer. All they have to do is to stain their faces yellow before going out. After the paint is washed off, their faces will be found as white as before. The tan that comes with sunburn is a miracle effected by nature to save men's sking.

It is the colour that saves them, not a hardening process as usually imagined.

Rhodes and a Book.

At luncheon one day at Groote Schuur 'The Martyrdom of Man,' by Winwood Reade, was mentioned. It contains clever arguments against the oxistence of a Divinity. I know the book,' exclaimed Rhodes;

it is a creepy book. I read it the first year I was in Kimberley, fresh from my father's parsonage, and you may imagine the impression which it produced upon me in such a place as a mining camp.' He stopped for a moment, then added in a serious tone, which I can hear even now,

That book has made me what I am.

Mr Otto Rong Sing appeared for the plaintiff and Mr R. A. Harding represented the defendant.

Plaintiff's solicitor stated that the full amount of the claim was $1380 but that $360 had been waived to bring the action within the Summary Jurisdiction. The claim was partly for goods sold and deliver

Mr Otto Kong Sing stated that in 1901

a piece of land was bought on behalf of the defendant and paid for by the plaintiff, Subsequently a house was built on the land and the work was paid for by plaintiff at the request of defondant. Some of the money had been repaid by defendant but there was still a sum of $1860 due.

The plaintiff was put into the witness bax and examined. He produced his books, in which appeared an entry of money received on account, but plaintiff denied making the entry, stating that his son made it.

The President rose and called for the mover of

the objection. M. Dreyfus shuffled uneasily in his seat. There was no answer, The President called again. Still silence. M. Dreyfus took courage and looked round. No accusing finger was pointed at him. A
