two brothers. Cyrus and Eugene. Eugene was
named as executor In Williams will. which
directed that the estate should De divided "ac-
cordinG to law"
Florence's mother secured an absolute
divorce in this State and the decree forbade
Ellsworth to marry again. He might have
married outside OF the State. however. and the
courts would have had to recognize the mar
rage as legal. He disappeared from the sight
OF his brothers and daughter and they heard
nothing of him. until his death. They had

Advice to Il Lazy Man.

Captain King, at one time governor
in an Australian colony, was noted for
his eccentricities.
On one occasion settler waited on
Governor King to ask for the loan Of a
prisoner to help him in shingling his
house.
'Come to me in six weeks, when har-
vest is over" said the governor, land :
will find man for you.'
At the end of that period the settler,
whose reputation for laziness wss well
established, again presented himself.
"Have you shingled your house?"
asked the governor.
"Oh, dear, no! I've been waiting for
help"
"Well, go into that room, and you
will see your man.
Presently the settler returned saying
he could find no man, although be had
looked all over the room, even under
the table and behind the sofa.
"Not find him. said the governor.
Chow can that be? Come alouG with
me and I'll soon find him for you."
Governor King led the man up to the
large mirror over the mantlepiece.
There's the man to shingle your
house." said be. Take him with you,
quick, and see that he does it.r'

Is Iron Rust a Cause of Fire?
From the Hub

When oxide Of iron is placed in con-
tact with timber excluded from the at
mosphere, and aided by slightly in-
creased temperature, the oxide will
part with It's oxygen, and is converted
into very finely divided particles Of
metallic iron, having such an affinity
for oxygen that, when afterward en-
posed to the action of the atmosphere
from any cause, oxygen is so rapidly
absorbed that thee particles become
suddenly :ed hot, and if III sufficient
quantity will produce a temperature
far beyond the ignition point Of drv
timber. Wherever iron pipes are en-
ployed for the circulation of any heated
medium, whether hot water, lot air,
or steam, a:.d the pipes allowed to be-
come rusty, in close contact with tim
Der, 1t is ouly necessary to suppose that
under these circumstances the particles
Of metallic iron become exposed to the
action of the atmosphere, aud this may
occur from the mere expansion CT con-
traction Of the pipes, in order to account
for many Of the fires which perio1i-
caliy take place at the commencement
of the winter season.
