Mothers Turn.
+ eft is mothers turn to be taken care

"It is mothers turn to be taken care
of now" s|ai.i' 49, 81
The speaker was a winsome young
girl. whose bright eyes, fresh color and
winsome looks told of light-hearted
happiness. just out of school, she had
the air of culture, which is an added at
traction to-a blithe young face. 1t was
mothers turn now. Did she know how
my heart went out to her for her unset
fish words?
Too many mothers in their love of
their daughters entirely overlook the
idea that they themselves need recrea-
ton. They do without all the easy,
pretty and charming things, and say
nothing about it; and the daughters do
not think there is any selt-denial in
volved. Jenny gets the new dress. and
mother wears the old one, turned up
side down and wrong side out. Lucy
goes on the mountain trip and mother
stays at home and keeps house.
Emily is tired of study and must lie
down in the afternoon; but mother,
though her back aches, has no time for
such an indulgence.
Dear girls, take good care of your
mothers. Coax them to let you relieve
them of some of the harder duties, which
for years they have patiently DONE

MR.. FRAGMENTS NEW CLIENT.

Mr.. Parchment generally regarded a
new client with n certain amount of dis
trust. being an old-fashioned family So
Icitor of conservative notions, with a
very respectable and wealthy connec-
ton. But Mr.. John Downing came to
him with an introduction from n relia-
bic source. and at a glance Mr.. Parch-
ment was favorably impressed by him.
He turned out TO be an elderly gentle
man, somewhat infirm. with an air of
Importance and quiet dignity which the
lawyer had learnt from experience to
associate with good rent-roll and a
prediction for the three per cents.
Mr.. Downing commenced by apollo

had chosen foe his visit, il being then
between six and seven o'clock in the
evening. Observing that the old gentle
man was mufilod up TO the eyes. and
spoke in n hoarse whisper, rs though
he was suffering from some affection OF
the chest. MIR. Parchment remarked up
on the imprudence of his venturing out
after dark.
eff IL does me any harm shall have
TO bear the consequences" replied Mr..
Downing. rather sharply. "The fact is,
nobody knows l have come out. AT
the present moment am supposed to

chitis.n
Mr.. Parchment opened his eyes al
this, but lsa,d nothing. while the old
gentleman INDUCED in q quiet chuckle
which terminated in a fit of coughing.
I'll asked our mutual friend, Gen
eral Turnbull, to introduce me to n so

and integrity 4 could rely" said Mr..
Downing. when his cough had ceased.

An Englishwoman's Eccentric Will.

One of the most eccentric wills Of
modern times has just been quietly SET
aside by Vice. Chancellor Bacon in the
Chancery Division of the High Court OF
Justice. The document in question was
executed in May, 1868, by Mrs. Anne
Burdette, of Gilmorton, in Leicester.
shire, and her leading testamentary dis
positions were made in codicil, which
directed certain appointed trustees, inn
mediately after her funeral, to cause the
windows and doors of every room in her
dwelling house to be bricked up in a
solid manner, and to continue the brick
ing up for twenty years.
The kitchen only was to remain I'M
sealed, and in this apartment some re-
spectacle married couple were to be in
stalled at peppercorn rent of one half
penny per week, their duty being to
take care of the premises, and, in par
ticular, to see that no attempts were
made to raise the brick blockade of the
doors and windows. In order that her
directions should be carried out to the
letter, certain benefits under the will
were given to the trustees, which bene-
fits they were to forfeit if the house
ceased to be in strictly bricked-up and
barricaded state.
BY another codicil the testatrix direct
ed that the windows should be boarded
up and nailed with good long nails,
bent down on the inside, and then COW
cred up with sheet iron and tin. Of the
property thus Theoretically sealed up
no effectual devise was made. This
extraordinary probate was eventually
granted.
Then the parties who were dissatisfied
took the case into the Chancery, and no
fewer than eight council learned in the
law appeared before the Vice Chancel-
lor on Wednesday, Aug. 2, those who
supported the validity of the devise
quoting Pope's well-known lines. in
which the poet says that testator NAV
"endow college or cat" and seek
ing to draw therefrom the inference
that Mrs. Burdette was entitled to dis
pose of her own precisely as she liked,
even though her ,testamentary iniunc-
tions were of the most capriciOusly gro
tesque nature. Sir James Bacon, how
ever, very cogently pointed out that in
the case before him, the testator had en-
dowed neither cat nor college; and he
directed the trustees to unseal and re-
lease all this hitherto useless property,
which must be distributed as the undis-
posed residue of real and personal es-
tate.-L0ndOn Telegraph.

So said man who entered q Girls

was plain to be seen that his dander was

about S25. Then there will be few
dollars costs. say enough to make the
whole thing foot up $40. / think that
I can safely promise that it won't cost
you over that"
Forty dollars! Forty dollars for

''We1l, pull his nose, then. The last
