Where a wife, who has placed money for use in
her husband's hands, joins him in buying and
selling land, on the idea that it is her money
that is being used, and buys a lot in her own
name on which are erected improvements, the
taking of title by her is not in fraud of a creditor
of her husband, who becomes such after the im-
provements are made.
Meyers et ux. v. White, Court of Appeals of
Kentucky, January 30th, 1894.
Sterling Company,
LIMITATION—RUNNING OF STATUTE.
After the petition has been filed, the statute
of limitations does not continue to run on a
cause of action, against a corporation, which ac-
crued before it was placed in a receiver's hands,
though the receiver was improperly joined as a
defendant, and though, by mistake, process was
served on him instead of on the corporation.

DERBY, CONN.
It is admitted by all that no piano ever put upon the
market has met with such success as THE STERLING
and thouiands will testify to their superiority of work-
manship and durability. Why ? Because they arc made
just as perfect as a piano can be made.
The marriage market in Massachusetts is not
in a satisfactory condition, as will be found
from the following particulars: "Father, I
should like to see you in the library on a mat-
ter of business." "Very well, Viola—come
along. Now, then, what is it ?"' " Father, you
are aware that James Noodenhammer has been
paying me his attentions for the last year ? "
" Yes, and I have felt like kicking him ! The
idea of a Noodenhammer daring to aspire to the
hand of a Grafton ! " " He has asked me to be
his wife." "The scoundrel! Why, I'll kick
him." "And I have almost promised," she
placidly continued. " W h a t ! What! My
daughter marry a Noodenhammer working for
$15 a week ? Never ! Go to your room, while
I seek this base adven
"
" Father, I want to talk business with you, "
she interrupted. " A s you are aware, this is
the State of Massachusetts. Have you seen the
vital statistics of the State for the last year ? "

' No; of course not. The idea of that Jim
Noodenhammer skulking round here after

" " Wait! According to the statistics
this State has 871,240 more females than males.
There are 226,890 more marriageable girls than
can find husbands, to say nothing of 182,321
widows anxious for a Number Two. The num-
ber of young men in the State earning over $15,
a week, and in the market, is only 22,107.
There are camped on the trail of these young
men exactly 220,000 young women and 150,000
widows. Three out of every five children born-
are girls. Death removes two young men to
one married man or old bachelor.''
The old man turned pale and grasped a chair
for support, and after a pause she continued :
" From June to October over 80,000 marriage-
able young women visit our watering places,
and it is estimated that 31,442 of them catch
husbands, thus further reducing the chances of
the resident. Father, take this pencil and
figure on your Viola's chances of catching an-
other man if she lets James Noodenhammer
canter away. " " Great Scot! " he gasped, after
figuring for a moment. "Why, your chances
are only one in 21,875,947! " "Just as I fig-
ured it out myself. What shall I say to him
this evening ? " " Say ! Say ! Why, tell him
you'll have him and be mighty glad of the
chance, and don't let him draw a long breath
before you add that the ceremony can take place
right after breakfast to-morrow morning, and
that I'm to give you a wedding present of $1,000
in cash ! ''
