Contest Over n Live Mans Will.

A contest over C live mans will, the
testator himself being the defendant and
appearing on the witness stand, was the
novel proceeding recently held before
Judge Ingraham and jury in New York
city. Henry WEIGH, wealthy grocer,
hale and hearty, but of prudent mind,
concluded last winter to have his will
drawn up, so in case of accident to him
self his affairs would be found in apple
pie order. He employed an attorney-at-
law named seaman to prepare the docu-
ment. When Welsh handed him rough
draft of it, the attorney found that the
testator wished to leave his property in
very peculiar way. The laws of the
State of New York forbid that man
should leave over one half Of his proper
ty to charitable institution.
The will testified that after the death
of the testator's wife and if the testator's
only son should die without heirs the
property was to go 10 various charitable
institutions. Seamen had hard time
overcom ng these legal difficulties. At
the same time he drew up q will for
WEIGH, for which he charged $50. In
making out his bill to WEIGH, in
view of his trouble, study, ETC., Seaman
charged $100p WEIGH refused to pay
and Seaman sued him. WEIGH testified.
and his testimony was listened to with
great attention by large crowd. The
Jury awarded Seaman sue. = San Fran

Viciousness Descerds.

Viciousness is inherited, as much as
the virtues are. Breeders should, there.
fore, be on guard against using vicious
animals for breeding, and as far as pos
sible train and manage their stock TO Sc
cure the most docle disposition. This
is not only great convenience, but is
economical and profitable. That noted
horse Messenger was exceedingly saw
age, and transmitted this quality to
some of his most valued descendants;
Royal George, in particular, was so
vicious that his owner kept him in a
stable four years idle, for fear of him,
and he killed one groom and severely
injured Others. This quality OF docility
is invaluable in the dairy, for many val
liable lives are yearly sacrificed by the
ill-nature of bulls. 1t is equally valuable
in beef cattle, for quiet animal is fed
much easier and quicker than an unruly
and fretful one.-Mep York Tribune.

In a Demons Power.

The physiological secret of that progress
sveness of all stimulant passions, says Ut
Oswald in the dice, is the gradual increase
Of the depressing reaction, which ln1ainoly
follows every abnormal irritation OF the ner'
vous system. The jaded nerves fail to re-
spond to the spur of the wonted stimulus
while more and more irksome depression OF
the vital spirit prompts the patient to relieve
his torpor at any price-too often the price
of lifelong bondage, clinched by more COM
plete surrender to the power OF the demon
whose caressing embrace only secures a
firmer hold upon the throat OF his victim.
Mild stimulants soon become lnslpld, ana by
degrees positively distasteful, to the moro
and more decided appetite for stronger stlmu-
lants The increasing exorbitance OF that
appetite thus not only constitutes constant
temptation to worse excesses but also pre-
vents the topper from retracing his steps on
the road to ruin.
There is, in that respect, curious analogy
between the influence of moral and physical
stimulants. The chief objection 10 mlno-
enslaving passions is, perhaps, not their oil.
rect temptation to acts OF recklessness, put
the circumstance that their influence tends 70
anIul the attractiveness of less exciting en-
joyments. The historian Lecky, in his re-
fections upon the moral alterations OF pagan
Rome, traces the decline of art and harmless
pleasures to the indirect influence OF the
rladiatorial games ITO men who were &C
customed to- witness the fierce vicissitudes OF
deadly combat" he says. ANY spectacle
that did not elicit the strongest excitement
was insipid. The idealized suffering Of the
stage became unimpressive to those who
were habituated to the intense realism OF the
amphitheatrs. All the genius OF Siddons
or 4 Ristori would fail to move an audience
who had continually seen living men tall
bleeding and mangled at their feet"

Tic Height of Maanne.

The height of meanness has been often
defined i have heard, for instance,
that it has been reached by man who.
having been rescued from a watery grave
in the Serpentine during the skating
season, and duly brought round. after
much trouble, in tine Royal Humane So
ciety's receiving house, promptly stole
the graphing irons as he left the place
and sold them for old metal on his way
homel Another definition asserts that
the height of meanncss consists in giving
q blind man shilling and taking full
change for it out of his hat. But the
Woodbridge Gait now claims for that
town the credit of possessing the mean
est man in the person of a misery yeo-
man who refused to allow his daughter
to receive a sealskin Jacket from her
uncle as present because, forsooth, he
could not afford to pay for the camphor
which would be needed to keep the
moths out of it during the SUMMER

The "Tre.tfnen Custom.

A bill has been introduced in the Pennsyi
Sania Legislature making it penal offence
for any person to trea. another with intoxf-
eating liquor. Ii such law as this could
be enacted and enforced, it would do away
with a vast amount of intemperance. Proba-
bly, nine tenths of the victims Of strong
drink are drawn into the liquor habit by the
custom Of treating. It is an idea quite Pc.
culiar to America, that the spirit Of good
fellowship and fraternal feeling finds its
readiest and fullest expression in a call for
drinks for the crowd 1t is quite gem
orally regarded as mark of generous
nature for q man to invite his friends to
middle their brains with some vile decoction
of the drink shops, and an indication
of mean and petty spirit to refuse
such invitations. The treating Gus
tom is, in short, one of the
most subtle and powerful devices employed
by Satan to lure men to destruction, but We
doubt very much whether the custom can b
directly legislated out of existence The re-
form must come in another way. As long
a. the fiction of respectability ID kept up for
the liquor traffic by making 1t legal ousi.
ness, and gilded and fashionable saloons and
bar-rooms are maintained under the SANCTION
of the law. 20 long will the treating custom
be recognized as q social obifg alton. With
draw from the drink-shops, high and low,
the recognition of law, drive them out OF the
light of day in company with the gambling
deus and all their kindred iniquities, and the
custom of inviting men to make beasts or
themselves with drink will soon die out of it
self for want of anything respectable to feed
upon. An effort is now being made to drive
the saloons out Of Pennsylvania with a pro-
hibitory law, and if this effort succeeds no
snti-treating Law will be nesded.-Ne,c York

In so mean home Just there they are
greatly in error, for while the sod house
Is not very beautiful to gaze upon out
wardly. yet il can, when built by master
hand, DO made to look very neat, and
with a coating OF cement over 1t, and
little penciling, could not, at short dis
lance, be distinguished from a stone
house, while, even without these, it is
one of the most comfortable houses that
can be made for moderate sum Of
money. 1t far exceeds common frame
one for warmth in winter and GOODNESS
in summer, and is stronger and more
durable, withstanding winds and storms
that would demolish the former. 1t can
be neatly plastered inside on the walls,
which, unlike stone and brick, are not
damp after once drying out. In this To-
cality we are very fortunate in having
material from which good mortar Is
made, without having to purchase lime
or hair. The magnesia and sand are
used, and make hard, durable plaster
They can be had free of expense by all.
Of course, a shingled roof can be used
as on any other house, but in this coun-
try those made with boards, with tarred
paper placed between the two layers,
then layer of sod, and lastly a coating
of alkali dirt, are considered preferable,
as they keep out both summers heat and
winters cold better, and seldom leak at
all when rightly made. These houses
are not plastered overhead, and when
good dressed lumber is used, fastened to
smoothly peeled pitch pine ridge logs,
have very neat appearance and are
more airy and roomy than if a low cell.
ing were placed overhead, and much
more healthful.
The great point for commiseration is
that most of those persons who have
them for their abiding places do not
have large enough ones. They are
generally limited to one or two rooms,
and so, of course, are often much
crowded.
A house 1Sx20 feet, with 2.feet walls,
leaving room 14x16 feet in the clear,
can be finished completely, or with one
coat of plastering-which is all that
should be put on at first, as the walls
will settle some and thus crack the
plastering, and second coat be needed
after after few months for 500 if
the work is hired done. But if one has
a team and can do the work himself the
only expense will be the lumber for roof
or floor, base boards, sash and door, the
tarred paper and few nails. In this
way little money will go good way

NIeatless Soups.

Soups should be largely used by the
economical housewife. They are cheap,
nutritious, and excellent in taste. Most
important are those made from the dried
bean, pea and lentil the three pod COW
cred vegetables. :,
Ingredients-One pound of the dried
vegetable, one onion, two tablespoons
beef fat, salt and pepper.
Additions-To be made according to
taste. One. quarter pound pork, or a
ham bone, pinch of red pepper, or, an
hour before serving, different vegeta.
bles, as carrots or turnips, chopped and
fried.
To Make--Soak the beans over night
in two quarts water. In the morning
pour of, put on fresh water and cook till
very soft, then mash or press through a
cullender to remove the skins, and add
enough water to make two quarts OF
somewhat thick soup. Season. This
soup may also be made from cold baked
beans. Boil half an hour, or till they
fall to pieces; then strain and season.
The water in which vegetables have
been cooked should never be thrown
away, with The exception of beets and
potatoes boiled without peeling. Even
cabbage water can be made the basis OF
good soup.
General Method-Boil the vegetables
Until very tender, mash or press through
cullender, thin sufficiently and season.

The Prince OF Detectives.

Inspector Byrnes, says New York
letter to the Baltimore american, is rather
handsome man, although he wears his
black derby little TOO low on his fore
head and keeps his hands in his over
coat pockets. Those who hive got their
impressions of the TYPICAL sleuth hound
from the lime novel would not take the
Inspector for the leading detective of
America. He does not go along the
street nosing for clues, but brushes along
ike any other good citizen who had an
hour to kill on the busy streets of New
York. Inspector Byrnes has, however,
keen eye, which you may have noticed
iust under the brm OF his hat, by which
it was shaded. He is rather tall, is well
built and dresses neatly, with the excep-
ton of his shoes, which are generally
heavy and protected by very thick soles,
such as members of the police force of
J. sltimore wear. He is cool. looking
man, very approachable, kind to in
feriors, and in conversation interesting.
He has reached the summit by com
manding the greatest detective force in
the country with eminent ability, by
forming a literary eopartnership with
Julian Hawthorne, and selling his ex.
periences as detective at a good figure.
lie is popular with the press. which is a
great thing.

Cleanliness in Drying Apples.

One of the great apple regions of this
country is in the counties of Wayne,
Monroe, Orleans and Niagara in Western
New York. Apples are largely trans
ported to the Atlantic city markets, and
thence exported to foreign lands, but in
recent years the evaporating business has
grown to large dimensions, and the pro.
duction and export of the dried fruit has
greatly increased. Within part of the
area of the counties above named are
some 1900 evaporating establishments,
some of them disposing of 1000 bushels
of apples each day. Not less than 30
600 hands are employed and the value of
the product runs into the millions. As
100 pounds of the fruit yield about
twelve pounds of the dried product, some
idea of the drain upon the orchards may
be formed. There is, of course. great
saving in the freight charges upon the
dried fruit. A case of fifty pounds from
New York to Liverpool would cost thirty
cents, while the equivalent in apples
would cost s2.25. There is also the loss
from deterioration in the fresh fruit from
which the evaporated Stree. One point
is of the greatest importance in the pro
duction of dried fruit in evaporating
establishments, and that is the element
CT scrupulous cleanliness. We have seen
carelessness and neglect in some concerns
which if witnessed by a consumer would
turn him forever against this product.
They should make cleanliness habit
