A British Trait Exemplifled.

An Englishman to whom was lately lett
a,,legacy of e1OO has exemplifed . nation
al trait, much to the annoyance OF his ex-
ecutors. In settlement of his dues he re-
ceived 800 1885,, the remaining 5 shillinga
having been deducted for legal expenses.
This arrangement, however, the legates de-
clined to sanction, and as the executors re-
fused to hand over the missing S shillings,
the case came into court. For the defence
it was urged that general custom Of long
standing authorizes executors to deduct
probate duty from legacies in proportion to
amount. But the plaintiff took his stand
on the law, or what he conceived to be
such, and stoutly maintained that all ex-
penditures of that sort ought to be betrayed
out of the estate. He had been left e1OO,
not e09 1885,, and on principle he claimed
the full sum. The judge considered the
point thus raised so important that he post
poned Judgment in order to have time to
consult legal authorities. The trait thus
illustrated is not meanness. but readiness
to 20 to trouble and expense to maintain
personal rights. This instance Of itmay b

From Ice to Flowers In a Day.

In crossing the coast range of mountains,
whether passing from east to west or vice
versa, the traveller experiences the most
sudden change of climate and scenery that
can be found upon any route of travel in
the country. In going toward the Pacific
coast we breakfast on the last morning of
the Journey amid ice and snow, with winds
harsh and bitter, sweeping down from the
rugged peakes on every side. Before noon
on that day we were among flowers and
grass, while the humming of bees in The
trees and the lingering of tired foot travel
ers in the shade gave token that We had
reached the domains of summer. On the
day that we started toward the Atlantic
coast we stood at two o'clock in the after
noon under orange trees in the open air
loaded with ripened fruit. and at eight
o'clock of the same evening we were pass
ing through heavy falling SHOWS. which
had dlifted in some places higher than the
windows of the cars. The change was of
course due to altitude and not to latitude,
!: but it WAS not the less striking,

Lincoln's estimate of the comparative val

much less familiar. According to tie anon

from the fragment of shell, which COM

Sitting Bull as an Artist.

A collection of sketches by Sitting Bull
representing the principal events of his life,
the whole constituting pictorial artobio-
graphy, was purchased in 1870 by Assist
ant Surgeon James c. Kimball for $1.5O
in provisions from Yanktonnais Sioux,
who took it into Fort Buford. These
sketches, Of the authenticity of which there
has been considerable doubt, have been in
the possession Of the war department for
several years. The collection was recently
sent to Colonel Andrews. commanding Fort
Randall, where Sitting Bull is O prisoner,
in order that the fallen brave might certify
to their authentic character and explain
their significance. This Sitting Bull has
done with most of the sketches, explaining
that few of them relate to his brother.
Jumping Bull. The exploits depicted are
only such as rebound to the martial glory
Of the artist, according to his estimate of
greatness. In drawing, composition and
coloring the pictures are grotesque and bar
barrie in the last degree.

Social Duties on the Farm.

Winter can be made dreary desert waste
in the life of the year, and is made so on
entirely too many farms. In most neigh

for social enjoyment in reasonable and

and good enjoyment in ones home, though
it be isolated. "The home body" if the

children, farmers should consider how they
can make the home during the winter more
pleasant than it has ever been before. Pro-

probably be attended to in majority of
cases. Good reading and plenty OFF is a
