often make trouble. When Heller, the ma
gician, died, he bequeathed his apparatus to
be DESTROYED. In some instances testator
has directed that favorite horse or other
net. should be killed, '.lest it fall into unknd
hands, 1t is doubtfulwhether court would
compel an executor to destroy property be-
cause the will so desired. Wills are allowed
for giving ones property that useful animals
or articles should be destroyed is hot
benefit. Directions given In a will as to
mode Of ofbpHtf bpH4tifat fat, or for cremation, are also
ssAtatabjjects of the sanitary law of the place.
1t is only when one designs to give his prop
erty outright in simple ways that ne should
draw his own will for complicated trusts,
endowing new institutions, or tying up prop
erty for future time, lawyers aid may be
very needful Even lawyers sometimes make
mistakes. A New York lawyer named Rose
drew his own will, leaving about S2,O0,0O0 to
be held for five years to see whether other
givers would add $500, 900; if they would the
whole should 20 to endOw "Rose Bereficent
Association; if they would not, then his
money was to 60 to other charities. Now
the law does not allow property to be held in
suspense for definite time of years therefore
his will was pronounced void. Some most
absurd blunders have been made by lawyers in
drawing wills for themselves. 1t is not obli-
gat0ry to appoint an executor, but doing SO IS
wise. and if testator has enough confidence
in the person named to direct that che shall
not be required to give security" this may
prove great convenience.
AS respects signing and witnessing, Wills
often fail for some informality in these, es-
pecially in New York, where the form IS
stricter than in most States. A story of last
summer was that will was presented written
partly in black pencil, partly in blue IA will
is not void because in pencil, though ink is far
better); about half was written on one page,
and the witnesses signed at the foot; the
other half was written on the other page, and
then came the testator's signature. This In
strument was discarded because the Witness
es did not sign at the end of the will Com
mon sense ought to tell any one that any i'm
portant paper ought to be completed Defore
the signatures are affixed.
The New York rule as to signing and wit
Messing is that there must be two witnesses;
the testator must sign in their presence IN
form them that the paper is his will (he need
not tell them what is in it), and ask them to
witness it; and they must sign their names
and residences at the end of the will. Ihey
usually sign brief memorandum certifying
that these things were done but the memo
randum is not strictly essential. Keep the
will, when completed, in a safe place. In
Massachusetts lately will was contested be-
cause rats had eaten the signature. Lord st.
Leanord's will was lost and was established
only by the fortunate fact that his daughter
was able to repeat the substance OF 1t from
memory.
WHAT Is GLUCOSE ?-Glucose is the sugar
of the future. Oppose it as you will, 1t IS
daily increasing in Importance and in the num-
Der of it's users. In climates where the sugar.
cane will not grow. and in countries where the
sugar-beet can not be cultivated with proht,
there is wide field for glucose. Wherever
corn, grain, or potatoes thrive, glucose facto-
ries will flourish. Glucose differs as much
from cane sugar as tallOw from lard, or butter
from oeomargarine. Both kinds of sugar are
sweet. although in very different degree and
for many purposes one can be substituted for
the other without the consumer being aware
of the fact.
The manufacturers limit the term ''glucose'
to the thick syrup which neither solidities nor =
crystalises on long standing. The same sub
stance in a solid state is called grape sugar."
but there is no chemical difference between
the two. The name ''grape sugar. owes its
origin to the fact that kind Of sugat found
in grapes and other sweet fruits has the same
chemical composition as that made from starch
by methods that we shall presently describe.
This real grape sugar is often seen as al IN
crustaton on raisns and figs. Honey also
contains grape sugar and it was there 1t WAS
first discovered by Lowitz in 1902.
Glucose can be made from any OF the car
bohydrates, starch, deXtrine, cellulose, ETC.,
but is, generally prepared from starch. In
this country corn starch is used, while abroad
potato starch is preferred because it is cheaper.
The uses of glucose are very numerous,
although it is seldom sold to the public under
it's real name but under the ideas of "golden
honey" and even as Vermont maple syrup, its
sale is very extensive. 1t is largely employed
by confectioners for making candies, by wine
dealers for strengthening wine, by brewers TO
add body to their beer. Most OF the sugars
and table syrups contain glucose. or seven.
teen samples tested by the Michigan Board or
samples analysed in Chicago, only one was
unadulterated. OF samples obtained from all
the leading sugar dealers in Buffalo, but one
was found pure.
We do not believe that pure glucose is an
injurious substance when properly made, DuC
to sell it under the name of cane sugar, When
it is but One-third as sweet, is fraud and 10
charge the price Of cane sugar, when 1t costs
but three cents pound to make, is sWlndie.
That it pays to make it is evident from the
fact that there are more than twenty glucose
factories in this country turning out over one
million pounds per day of grape sugar ana
glucose. e.-Prot. Hallock.
GRECIAN BEAUTY Much has been said in
praise of Grecian beauty, and the men are
handsome in every sense of the word. we
might we'll imagine them to have been models
of Pbidias and Praxiteles. Their large eyes,
black as jet, sparkle with glarces OF fire, While
their long, silky eye-lashes soften the express
sion and give dreamy appearance OF melaI,
choly Their teeth are small, white and well
set a fine, regular profile, pale olive COM
plexion, and tall, elegant figure realize an
accomplished type of distinction. AS to the
women, they seem to have left physical per-
fection to the men some have very hne eyes
and hair, but rs a rule they have bad hgures,
and some defects in the face generally spoil
the features. 1t is among them, however,
that the old oriental customs are most strlctly
preserved while the men are gradually un-
dergoing the process of civilization, they, III a
moral point of view remain stationary and are
Just asst they were fifty years ago. If may, m
deed, be said that, with the exception or Ath-
ems, the women possess no lndlVldllal exist
ence and count as nothing in society. Inc
men have reserved every privilege to themsel-
yes, leaving to their helpmates the care OF the
house and family. In the towns where ser
wants are kept, they are of the poorest class
of peasants who know nothing and receive
miserable wages. The families are generally
large, seven or eight children, and demand
mothers constant attention. The morning
