Honorable.

A Well-knOwn American authOr-we
wish I'VE could mention his name-died
lately, leaving n IErge estate to his
children. They assembled to hear his
will read, all of them being married
and heads of families. An. adopted
daughter, who had offended their father,
it was found, was passed over in the
will with trihing legacy. Oneof the
daughters interrupted the reading of
the will.
"Fst her, am sure, is sorry for that
by this time. A. should have q
child's portion. We Gaust make that
right
The other children asseuted eagerly.
Awidowed daughterwitha q large fam
lily received an equal Share with the
other children. One of the sons spoke
now. C ought to have more than
we men who are in bust
ness and are able TO earn oar
living. Y will add so much" stating
the sum-''tO her portion" The two
remaining brothers each agreed to give
the same amount.
When the will had been read, one of
the elder children said: There are
some of father old friends to whom he
would haRe given legaeies If he had
not been i'll and fOrgetful when this
paper was written. Shall we not make
that rightg'
1t was dome, cordially and promptly.
Now this was only the Just action of
Just and honorable people; but how
rare such conduct is in persons to whom
legacies are given Chicago Interior.

The Highcst OF Waterfalls.

Some years ago Niagara was supposed
10 be the most magnificent waterfall in
q A world, but recent African explorers
discovered that the falls on the river
Zsmbesi, known as the Victoria, are even
more wonderful than the famous Ameri-
can waterfall. And now comes the news
that in Washington Territory there ex-
ists-what is, in some respects, the most
marvellous cataract in the world 1t is
on the Cowliz river, and the fan is fully
1900 feet high It has not yet been
fully explored. There is also waterfall
in Wyoming Territory AIS feet high,
which is said to be q very wonderful cat
aract of its kind The remarkable now-
ness of our country is shown by the fact
that these great natural curiosities have
not as yet been thoroughly examined by
white men. --DemOreoCS WyWhiy.

About Water.

A curious fact about water is that il
is the rust of the metal known as hy-
drogenium When oxygen combines
with iron it forms a reddish rust. and
the metal becomes in time disintegra-
ted In this condition it is said to be
oXidized. Now, water is simply oxi-
died hydrogenium. This metal is
present in the sun and in all the plan
cts in enormous quantities Indeed, il
is said that the human body is COM
posed of 81 pals of water, mingled
with some lime, iron and certain salts.
Chemistry has revealed to as many
marvels, but none greater than the
composition Of common water -Dem-

Frauds I'M Russia,

The st. Petersburg correspondent Of
the Daily Telegraph says that a formid-
able system of fraud has Just been
Brought to light in connection with the
Russian shipping trade. The Straits Of
&ertch or Zeniteale is one of the most
dangerous passages of the Black Sea,
and of late years the number of vessels
wrecked On-the coasts has reached an
extraordinary aggregate English in
surance companies have paid indemni-
ties amounting to many millions of
roubles Attention has, however, been
drawn to the fact that a great many. of
these disasters occurred in calm weather.
Other suspicious circumstances were no
ticed, such rs the fortunes rapidlvmade
by some of the pilots. Information was
sent to London that an Individual named
francesca, formerly a pilot, of Italian
origin, was the head OF a band of pirates
Of various nations-English, Italians,
Greeks and Russians-who made their
living by the disasters on the coast.
They were in collusion with the pilots
and charged huge sums for assisting the
vessels which the pilots suffered to 90
ashore. in less than two years fifty
vessels were stranded and had recourse
10 the assistance Of these pirate salYors.

THE HISTORY of The castle at
Marseilles, which the Ex-Empress
Eugene is anxious to return to that
municipality, is as follows: Some
years before the fall of the empire
the municipality presented to
Napoleon III, large piece of land
near the harbor. The Emperor &C.
cepted the gift, levelled the ground,
planted trees, and erected a spacious
palace, which was barely finished
when the downfall occurred at
Sedan. Ten years later the munich
pality put in a claim, not only to
the ground, but to the palace. The
ex-Empress successfully resisted
the claim in the courts, and then
offered to give the property back to
Marseilles, which then refused to
accept it. The whole property is
valued at 100000.
