Sugar is served in china buckets or

Practical .Josiny BY VIII.


A French visitor lately staying at
Ycvey lived in good styl upon his repu-
tation rs a man of fortune. and when he
died expressed much gratitude for the
happiness which he had enioyed in that
pleasant place He came there too late,
indeed, TO save his life, but he believed
that his death had been delayed by the
fine air and the skillful medical treatment
which that famous health resort had pro-
yided for him. As a testimony of his
thankfulness he bequeathed the whole of
his property TO the hospital of Veyey,
with the condition that it should be
mainly devoted to the provision of sew
eral rooms for girls and Young women
suffering from diseases of the chest. The
property was reputed to be of so much
valne that two claimants came forward
as presumptiye heirs; first, the town
hospital of Vevey, and, secondly, the
Hospice du Samaritan, which philan-
thropic visitor founded some time ago.
The rival claims were brought into the
law courts. and the suit, which was car
red on with as much frlendliness as pos
sible, necessitated an characterization
OF the property of the deceased. It soon
became clear that this 0Steftati0us- rrrerfsr
Of humanity had left no property a. all,
but, on the contrary. had managed to
defraud his confiding feIlow-men out OF
theirs. The inquiries which were made
IN France about the bombastic testator
brought the fact to light that he had
piled up debts amounting to 40,OVO
francs. The communal council of Nevey
.thereupon renounced all claim on the
part of the town hospital, and lit is scarce
ly likely that the private institute VIII

Reckless Daring.

place to its account such need Of-admi-
ration as may justly belong to reckless
daring. And yet as conservative an ex-
ponent OF Republican policy and Repub-
