Wit and Satire in Wills

One might suppose that will making was
anything but a merry occupation, and yet
the drollery of the wills that some &C.
centric old fellows have left behind them
could hardly be surpassed. Dean Swift
could not have concocted q more bitter
joke than that of the t~estator who, after
reciting the obligations he was under to a
particular friend, bequeathed to him at the
bottom of the first page of his will ten
Observation-Disclosures, of course, thought the
delighted legatee; but, on turning the leaf,
the bequest was discovered to be ten thou.
sand thanks. What a wet blanket for
"great expectations!'
Just as odd was the codicil of the death
stricken humorist who left to certain of
his dear relatives las many acres of land
as shall be found equal to the area inclosed
by the track of the center of the oscilla-
ton Of the earth in a revolution round the
sum- supposing the mean distance of the
sun to be q 600 semi-diameters of the earth
from it, This was q century ago, and as
the problem could not be satisfactorily
worked out the legatees were kept at a
mean distance from the property all their
lives.

THE COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION,
A Brief Review of the Fairs History VI
to Date.

A Brief Review of the Fairs History Up
to Date.
The Columbian Worlds fair manage
ment at Chicago has at last got matters
into a promising shape, and not a day too
soon. 1t is only when one reviews the his
tory from the beginning that he gets any
idea of the difficulties overcome. There
has been a fight from the start, first
and cities, incidentally between political
parties in the same state and then in con-
gress, and finally between committees and
advocates of rival sites in Chicago.
In 1885 the directors of the Interstate
exposition at Chicago adopted this:
Resolved, That it is the sense of this meeting
that a great Worlds fair should be held in Chi
cago in the year 1892, the four hundredth ami.
versary of the landing Of Columbus in America.
st. Louis promptly objected that she had
already taken the lead in the matter, but
Chicago went on with her organization to
secure the governments aid. Several con-
gressmen then declared in favor of Wash
ington as the place. New York also made
an earnest plea, and other cities followed.
There was unreasonable delay, and not till
1889 did congress begin to move; then the
bill was referred to the committee on for
eign affairs, and rival cities began their
arguments. New York, as usual, iran it
into politics." and waited too long for the
state legislature to authorize the appro-
priation of S1O,00O,00 0 for the work.
Feb. "a last the house of representatives
gave the fair to Chicago. Eight ballots
were taken, the last resulting: Chicago,
1877; New York, 10Y; St. Louis, Is: Wash.
ington, 10. For a long time it seemed as
if no progress was being made, and New
York had many a witticism on Chicago;
but now it appears that much was really
being done. On the 9th of April the final
incorporation papers were made out; on
the 18th the completed bill passed the
house at Washington. on the 21st passed
the senate, and on the 25th the president
signed it. May % he appointed commission
ers at large; then the long fight over the
site began, only to end the second week in
September by the adoption Of the parks
known as jackson and Washington.
Since then all the different boards and
committees, national, state and local, have
announced their satisfaction; committees
on building and classification have been
appointed, plans submitted and a good
deal of the work of preparation done.

4 NEW WAY TO COMMIT SUICIDE.
When Other Methods Are Impractical

When Other Methods Are Impractical
Assault q Desperate Character.
Out at Prescott, A. T., ten years ago a
young man with red hair, blue yes and
soft hands tramped into town. He had
come down from the Tin Cup district of
Colorado on a prospecting tour, but why
he should strike into Prescott for anything
nobody knew. He had been in lard luck.
as anybody could see.
His blue wooden shirt had been washed
and washed until it was almost brown
from the corrosive action of alkali water,
and his clothing was torn and wrinkled.
He was a gentleman for all that. He had
a pleasant word for everybody, although
some of the boys had caught him moping
about the corners. How he lived nobody
knew. He had no money and could get
no work.
"Idaho Jack" a reckless gun fighting
cowboy from the Three Sister mountains
of Idaho, was in town, too. He had some
money, told a good story and absorbed
liquor like a blotting pad. He said he was
on his way to Deming. Every night saw
Jack at the Ark. He made friends with
everybody except the stranger from the
Tin Cup district.
One night when the Ark was blue with
smoke, and Idaho Jack" was in the midst
of a harum-scarum story, the morose stran-
ger quietly arose from his chair, walked
up to the upper country romancer and
cuffed him across the ear.
For an instant not a word was said.
Then of a sudden the Idaho gunner drew
his weapon like a flash and fired. The
stranger fell dead. Nobody knew his name,
but when the sheriff ransacked his latter
ed clothing he found this note:
ITO the Sheriff:
"Mynameis A. C.. Hepburn. My parents
live at Grafton, N. Y. l have been out of
work and starving. I nave not got money
enough to buy poison or a gun, and there
is not water enough in Arizona to drown a
gnat. l therefore take this opportunity to
slap Jack, knowing as 1 do that it means
instant death, and that is what I seek. 1t
costs nothing, it is a new way to seek sui
eide, and l demand of you that you do not
prosecute Jack, because he was not the ag-
gressor. Bury me as I die. That is all !
ask. Sincerely, A. C. H."
The letter d~umfounded the town. 1t
took all the fight out of Idaho Jack"
Dollar by dollar the sinners" came in, un-
til there was enough of them to buy a var.
nished coffin and a whitewashed %headboard.
Jacks contribution was something like IS
all he had and all he could borrow at the
time. He was not prosecuted, but he left
town as soon as the headboard was set.-

A Picturesque Wedding.

The marriage of MI. John Kenneth Mac
kenzie and Miss Fannie Locke at Chicago
the other evening was not only a fashion
able event, but was also marked by several
novelties of detail. The ceremony began
In Grace Episcopal church at sp. M. The
bride and groom were preceded to the altar
by a supplied acolyte bearing aucrucifx,
and conducting a band of seventy-eight
singing the wedding march and
bridal chorus from "Lohengrin." The
bridesmaids wore white satin gowns and
green satin slippers, and upon the right
shoulder of each were displayed the colors
of the Mackenzie clan.
Miss Locke's costume was of the conven-
tional sort, save that she had. slippers of
silver with Rhinestone buckles in imitation
Of the footgear worn by Dorothy Remnant
when she became Mrs. Henry M. Stanley.
The service began at the conclusion of the
bridal chorus. After the Introductory
prayer the choir sang an English anthem
never before heard in the United States
'The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich,
and he addeth no sorrow with it; the Lord
prosper you, we wish you good luck in the
name of the Lord" -,
The big choir, the Rhinestone slippers and
the imported music were the new features
of the occasion. The remainder of the
ceremony was conducted according to the
usual forms. Rev. Clinton Locke, father

1t has taken over a twelvemonth to secure

dard, who has been chosen commissioner,

the general freight Office of the Chicago,
Burlington and Quincy, and from January,
1872, to November, 1874, he was assistant

he became general freight agent of the
Hannibal and St. Joseph, but in Septem-
Der, 1875, he returned to his old post on the
Quincy road. He quit it again in July,
1878, to become general freight agent of

sively the offices of traffic manager, assist
ant general manager, general manager and

No States Land,

Island No. a. on the Mississippi, has an
owner, but belongs to no state, county or
township. From a paper read before the
Engineers club of this city it appears that
according to the enactment whereby the
states of Arkansas and Mississippi were
created, the river boundary Of the former
extends to mid-stream, that of the latter to
mid-channel. Herein is the difficulty. A
dissipated freshet turned the current
against the Mississippi bank, and shifted
the former position of mid-channel many
rods to the eastward, SO that the fortunate
or unfortunate owner found his possessions
beyond both the mid-river point of Arkan-
sas and the mid-ehannel line of Mississippi.

Ingredients of Flint Glass.

In making flint glass, which is the kind
used in the manufacture of fine table ware
and for cutting and engraving, the great
est care is taken in tn. selection and mix
ing of the ingredients. Upon the purity of
these depends the transparency, colorless-
ness and brilliancy which constitute the
chief value of the product.
The ingredients of flint glass are fine
sand, free from any trace Of iron; red lead,
potash or soda, nitre and cullet. Some
times the red lead is replaced by a heavy
gray alkaline earth called baryta, though
it is generally considered that red lead is
essential to the finest quality of flint glass.

Tobacco smoke has a way of clinging to

sometimes cannot be removed by airing.
One who has suffered recommends that q
pail of water in which a handful of hay is
soaking be left in the room for an hour or
SO. At the end Of that time the smell will
have entirely disappeared. AS all evil
dences of the cigar or pipe can be removed
SO readily the men can smoke in whatever
room they please, provided they will place
the pail of water in position when they are
leaving.-Exchange.tH Z

Ransomed,

Signor Arrigo, the Italian banker, who
was held by Sicilian bandits for a heavy
ransom, had an exceedingly interesting
time of it during his captivity. His
captors kept him in the bottom of a
dry well, where they lowered his food to
him regularly and conferred with him &C.
casionally concerning his ransom. They
finally compromised with his friends on
$4,000, but wanted much larger amount.
At the end of a certain time, if the money
had not been paid, the banker would most
likely have been murdered.-Exchange.
