snADowISG OF TTR RESULT
The announcement th8t Surrogate Calvin would
dive his decision the petition to set aside the Will
of the late A. 7. Stewart at IL o'clock yesterday
morning attracted to the courtroom large number
of persons, for whom the distribution of the prop
erty of the dead millionaire seems to have as much
interest as if they we're blood relations" When
the appointed hour came, however, they were disap-
pointed. as the Surrogate announced that the de-
cision would not be given out until p IN. Some OF
the counsel in the case and other interested persons
whoremained after the poStponement was announced.
employed their time in speculating on the correct
ness of the report in yesterdays TRIBUNE that the
decision would be adverse TO the petition OF the
claimants and Surrogate Calvin expressed annoy
ance at the forestalng OF lis opinion, remarkng to
the reporter as he entered the roem, The TRIBUNE
seems to have already decided this case" The Sur
rogate was under the Impression that the informa-
ton as to his decision could have come only from
some employs of the Office, and both he aud Chiof
Clerk Miner were anxious to learn Who the cJput
was OF the clerks in the Office, however, not one
information was gained from THE TRIBUNE report.
The reporter was examined in the Surrogate's pri-
yate Office as to the origin Of the report. He eXoner-
atod the employees Of the Office from sny suspicion OF
giving improper information, but refused 10 make
known the names OF any persons not subject to the
SurroSatc's authority. This position the Surrogate
reluctantly, but goOd-naturedly, acknowledged TO
be correct but he expressed relief at learning that
the secrets Of the Office not betrayed By those
In his employment.
The decision OF the Surrogate, which sustains the
probate of the wl only affects the case so far as the
probate Office is concerned When the case was
argued counsel for the claimants stated that their
purpose in endeavoriug to have the probate of the
will set aside was to give them an advantage IN
coRtesting the will IN the other courts, but that the
case would be pressed, matter what the decision
of the Surrogates Court might be- The adverse
decision is considered damaging blow 10 the
claimants, but further legal proceedings will un-
doubtedly be taken to break the will.

BEES IN THE UNITED STATES. There
are two million bee hives in the United
States. Every hive yields on an aver
age little over twenty-five pounds of
honey. The average price at which it is
sold is twenty-five cents pound. So
that after paying their own board, our
bees present us with o revenue of over
$500 900. To reckon it another way,
they make clear gift of over a pound
of pure honey to every man, woman,
and child in the vast domain of the
United States. Over twenty-three and
one third million pounds of wax are
made and given to us by these in.
dustrious workers. The keeping Of
bees is one Of the most profitable in
vestments that our people can make o.
their money. The profits arising from
the sale of surplus honey averages from
fifty to..two hundred per cent. of the
capital investment.

DRINK LESS WITH Your MEALs.-If
water with food is the curse of a func-
tonal debility, much more objectional
is hot drink. Every thing taken at q
high temperature is relaxing. The
teeth are injured by hot drinks; the
throat is debilitated by them, and if
weuse tea, coffee, wine, etc., the mische-
vious effects are greater. Drink, then,
should not be taken with food. It is
better, if one is thirsty, to take q
draught of water thirty minutes before
eating, or four hours after. Many men
have relieved themselves of dyspepsia
by not drinking even water during
meals. No animal except man ever
drinks in connection with his food.
Manoughtnotto. Try this, dyspeptics,
and you will not wash down mechani.
cally what ought to be masticatcd and
ensalivated before it is swallowed.
Washington standard. [volume] (Olympia, Wash. Territory) 1860-1921, 1876-03-11


FRETFUL PEopLE.-It is not work that
kills men; it is worry. Work is healthy.
You can hardly put more work on a
man than he can bear. Worry is rust
upon blade. 1t is not tho revolution
that destroys the machinery, but the
friction. Fear secrets acid, but love
and truth are sweet jucies.
We know man with patient, good
Christian wife, and we never heard him
speak kind, pleasant word to her, and
doubt if he ever did in the half CEN
fury they have lived together. He is
always in fret. You would think he
WAS made of a cross-grained timber, and
had always been trying to digest a
cross-cut saw. He is eternally cross,
and thinks that his wife and children,
hired hands, and all the domestic ami
mails, have entered into combination
to worry him to death. He is not only
rusty, but fairly crusted over with it.
Friction has literally worn him out, and
he will soon worry himself to death.
OF course he has never worked to ad-
vantage to himself or anybody else.
With him everything gees wrong. He
superstitiously believes it is because the
devil has spite against him, when it is
nothing but his own fretfulness.

FASHIONABLE BONNETs AND NEURAL
GA.

A physician OF Londnn hospital
writes to the British Medical Record:
"There is no recognized reason why Of
late years neuralgia of the face and
scalp should have increased so much in
the female sex as compared with our
own. There is no doubt that it is one
Of the most common OF female maladies
One of the most painful and difficult
of treatment. 1t is also cause of much
mental depression, and leads more often
to habits Of intemperance than any 9th
er. This growing prevalence OF neu-
ralgia may to some extent be referred to
the effects of cold upon the terminal
branches of the nerves distributed to
the skin; and the reason why men are
less subject to it than women may to a
great extent, i think, be explained by
the much greater protection afforded by
the mode in which the former cover
their heads when in the open air. 1t
may be observed that the surface Of the
head which is actually covered in man
is at least three times that which fash
ion allows to q woman; indeed, the
points of contact between the hat or
bonnet and the head in the latter are 30
irregular as practically to destroy any
protection which might otherwise be af-
forded. III I were to report to the
journals q case of facial neuralgia
cured ON the principle of protecting the
lateral and frontal surface of the face
as well as the superior part of the scalp.
it might excite q certain amount of rid
icule. / can assure you, if we cannot
do much for neuralgia with our pre-
scnptions, we ought to oppose fashion
when we find it prejudicial to health
and productive of suffering"

KEEPING THE TONGUE.

Keep it from unkindness. Words
are sometimes wounds. Not very deep
wounds always, and yet they irritate.
Speech is unkind sometimes when there
is no unkindness in the heart. So much
the worse that needless wounds are in
flicted; so much the worse that, unin-
tentionally. pain is caused.
Keep it from falsehood. 1t is so easy
to give false coloring-to so make q
statement. that is may convey mean
ing different from the truth, while yet
there is an appearance of truth-that
we need to be on our guard. There
are very many who would shrink from
telling a lie, who yet suffer themselves
in such inaccurate, or exaggerated, or
one-sided statements, that they really
come under the condemnation of those
whose lying lips are an abomination
to the Lord"
Keep it from SANDER. The good
reputation of others should be dear to
us. Sin should not be suffered to 60
unrebuked; but it should be in accord
ance with the Scripture method, Go
and Tell him of his faults twixt thee and
him alone" And it should be borne
in mind that what is too often consid-
ere d as merely harmless gossip runs
da vigorously near, if it does not pass,
the confines of SANDER. A reputation
is too sacred to be made a plaything
of, even if the intent be not malicious
