POsthumOus Advice of a Millionaire,

The will of the late millionaire, David
Snow, of Boston, contains suggestions of
value to his devisees and to the public.
In the closing article of the testament
he says:
1t is my earnest desire and request
that all my heirs (this, of course, is more
especially directed to the males) should
invest their means in the safe way, and
pursue some steady, permanent, legiti-
mate business or employment with great
perseverance and indsutry, and success
is sure to crown their efforts in due
time. This course is not only an honor
able one, but is almost always the most
successful and satisfactory in the long
run; whereas dealing in stocks and en-
gaging in uncertain and rash specula-
tions 1 regard as species of gambling
at best. a mere lottery, and although
sometimes pleasing and exciting when
the luck is good, still in the main such
course is generally very injurious and
demoralizing, and often ends in ruin,
both pecuniarily and morally. 1t is my
hope and ardent desire that nv heirs
will ever be honest, liberal, steady, in
dustrious, kind to the needy, and attend
regularly some church, my choice being,
of course, the Methodist, which has
been SO long dear to me.

A Christian Sheik i'm Arabia.

The National Baptist is responsible
for remarkable story which has been
widely circulated, and is, in substance.
as follows: A man named Randall, liy.
ing in Oneida county, New York, about
forty years ago married Welsh girl,
who soon afterward visited her friends
in Wales, where a son was born. This
boy was educated in Wales, and after
ward went to Syria. While there a
sheik's daughter fell in love with him,
and he was arrested while travelling from
Damascus to Jerusalem by armed men,
| taken to the sheik's tent and married to
the girl.
1t does not appear that he made any
strong remonstrance. His tent was
guarded by night and his person watch
ed by day, lest he should escape, and
this guard kept over him for years. He
and Arzalia, however, seemed happy;
children were born to them, and their
domestic life was marked by kindness
and true affection. Randall rapidly ac-
quired the Arabic language; his wife as
rapidly mastered the English. Their
children were taught in both.
When he was admitted to the sheik's
family they had to receive his religion
as well as his person. Through him his
"AAO. OSSohiO SLllstldu, Ills lutQ6I-1n-
law became patron of his son-in- laws
faith; his children were brought up
in the fear of the Lord;" his son has
become sheik of the tribe-the father
in-law having died. All the surround
ing tribes have become favorable to the
new religion, and have pledged their
swords in its defense. Many have been
baptized; hundreds of children have
been taught the new relipion
But n dervish, zealot of the M oham-
medan faith, had for a long time been
endeavoring to stir up opposition and
persecution; he strove to have Randall's
sous thrown out of the employ of the
Turkish government, and failing in this
turned his assault upon daughter of
the foreigner, and charged her with
witchcraft and apostasy from the true
faith: She was brought before the
meglle, composed of one hundred and
forty-four venerable sheiks and effendis,
to answer charges which involved her
life. The charges having been present
ed and substantiated as best they could
be by witnesses, she was called upon to
answer. She defended herself and was
acquitted.
The trial was in October, 1872. In
June, 1873, while Rosa was teaching
class OF forty-two little girls, in grove,
the way to heaven, the dervish stealthily
approached, and before any one was
aware he had murdered the maid and
fed. The feetest horses of the tribe,
with armed riders, went in pursuit. He
was soon captured, tried and executed.

A strange expression darted across the
hero's face; and then, with bended head,
he gave one glance into Fidelia's eyes
that made her cheeks, from her very
heart, blush.
"These are yours to give" he said,
touching gently the brown curls that
the evening wind had blown across his
arm. May II" he asked; and being
unforbidden, and while they still moved
onward in the current of the crowded
promenade, he succeeded in possessing
himself of lock of the beautiful hair :;
and he took the little keepsake with him
when he went to Europe upon his ap-
pointed embassy.
And Fidelia-had she any keepsake of
him None, excepting the association
Of his grandeur with the fascination of
her " first ball, and recollection that
she never took without dropping her
eyelids, and blushing cheek and heart
recollection of one glance.
Two years abroad, but all this time
Madame Ricard corresponded with her
friend Colonel Darrell; and she sent him
every three months, quite unknown to
Fidelia, photograph of her lovely
protegee, whom she managed to have
frequently with her in cities where her
passion for travel allowed her to linger
fortnight or month.
The people of the town in which the
Kingslands lived were much excited by
an event that occurred during the first
year of Colonel barrels absence in
Europe. The event was the rebuilding
OF the Darrell homestead in a style of
mingled comfort and magnifcence un-
paralleled in the region round. When
the edltice was complete, the grounds
We're elaborately embellished, and the
interior was furnished in captivating
taste.
Still greater was the excitement when.
two years after tho night of the ball
given in his honor, Colonel Darrell re-
turned to his native town; and having
settled himself in his superb mansion,
made Fidelia Kingsland his wife. It was
rumored that there had been q CORE
opondence between the now welded
lovers for half year or more before the
colonel's return.
dame, Madame Ricard, had vanished
from the earth. But Fidelia never for
got her benefactress. Particularly she
remembered the words said to her bv
her strange visitor on the night of her
unhappiness: "There is nothing so
consoling as q friend"
When she became established in her
own house, she would not allow herself
to sink into the absorbing happiness of
love. She was good and afectionate to
all. even to her step sisters, who forgot
now in her prosperity that in adverse
hours they had treated her with con-
tempt. The townspeople called her, ac-
cordingly as the adjcctives struck their
appreciating sense, affable, kind, chari-
table, courteous, friendly.
Friendly WAS the true word.
For friendship was my fortune"
said Fidelia. "Let HE never be miser

Quite n Saving.

In nothing has the advance of practi-
cal science been more clearly evidenced
than in tho extent to which substances
formerly wasted and lost are now re-
claimed and made to constitute an i'm
portant element in the profits of the
manufacturer. One of these applications
consists in the recovery O. the soapsuds
from the washing of wool in wooden fac
tories. These were formerly allowed to
run down the sewers and into the
streams, to the great pollution of the
latter; but in Bradford, in England,
they are now run from the washing
bowls into yats, and there treated with
sulphuric acid. The fats rise to the sur
face In a mass of grease q foot or more
in thickness, which is carefully collected
and treated in various ways, mostly by
distillation. The products are grease,
used for lubricating the cogs of driving
wheels in the mills; oleic acid, which is
worth about $160 per ton, and used as
substitute for olive oil; stearine, worth
S400 per ton, etc. 1t is said that some
large mill owners are now paid from
so, 500 to 1000 a year for these suds,
which few years ago were allowed to
run to waste.

In the Olden Time.

On March 20, 1876, Providence, RI,
was burned by the Indians. At this
time the town contained, as nearly as
can be ascertained, about two hundred
inhabitants, and the principal settlement
was at the north end. In view of the
exposed condition of Providence, a gar
rison was established there under the
command. of Captain Arthur Fenner.
Roger Williams, through whose effort
the town was fortified, also held q COM
mand. When the Indians approached,
it Is said Mr.. Williams, whom they high
ly respected, went out to meet them with
the hope Of turning them from their pur-
pose, but IN vain. When told that Mas
sachusetts could raise thousands of men,
and that rs fast as they fell the king
could supply their places, the chiefs de-
family replied: "Liet them come. We
are ready. for them. But as for you,
Brother Williams, you are good man.
You have been kind to us many years.
Not hair of your head shall be touch
ed" They proceeded with their work,
and about thirty houses (some accounts
say twenty-nine and others fifty-four)
were destroyed, among them the house
OF John Smith. the miller and also q
town clerk, who lived on the west bank
of the Moshassuck river, a short distance
north of Mill bridge. Several of the
houses burned were on the east side of
the road. south of the present North
street. Williams retired, seasonably, to
his house, situated on the north side of
Rowland street, and was spared. A
house in the vicinity of the confiagra-
tion, which escaped the general doom,
was the Whipple House, still standing
on Abbott's lane, which with its i'm
mense chimney, its projecting second
story (altered some years ago), and its
interior arrangements, was fair speci-
men of the architecture of it's period. As
most of the people had fled from the
town, no loss of lives is reported. John
Smith saved the town records by throw
ing them from his burning house into
the adjacent millpond, from which they
were subsequently fished up, carried to
Newport and kept there until the war
ended

Mother Stewart i'm England.

Mrs. Stewart, better known as
"Mother Stewart" the originator of the
women's whisky war in the United
States, is at present in England, where
she is holding series of meetings in aid
of the temperance cause. At meeting
held in London recently, for the pur-
pose of welcoming her to England, Mrs.
Stewart made an address, in which she
gave an account of her work in the Uni
ted States. She regretted to say that
they had met with good deal of opposi-
ton and she could assert as fact that
in Indiana the Legislature was bribed
by the rich proprietors of saloons, and
others interested in the liquor traffic, to
the time of $40, 1000, to induce them not
to pass any laws against intemperance.
She had defeated licenses in Ohio, her
native State, on the eighteenth of
August, 1874, and had since obtained
enormous support.
