It is now well known that the tax of 6 per cent. on the stock of notes issued by the Relchsbank over and above iti reserve in 'metal has been suppressed.

This right, restricted by thé Statute of Frauds, was abol- lished by the Wills Act of 1837, sub- ject, however, to the reservation that soldiers on actual military service and marines on sea, were still com- petent to dispose of their personality as they might have done before.

This handy tool, the household pet, we ply with skill and speed; and in the modern kitchenette it's really all we need. The shining tool that opens cans, makes household work a joke; it supersedes the pots and pans, the stoves that used to smoke. In olden times the toiling wives were always on their feet; they wore away their weary lives prepar- ing. things to eat. They fried the meat, they baked the beans, they 'ooked the spuds, I wist; they had no time for magazines, for euchre or bridge whist. How fortunate the ' modern wife, with many a leisure, 'tour! For she can fill with glee her life and languish ip the bower. And when at evening comes her man, im patient for the eats, she says, "I'if Pen up a can of beans or deviled beets."
