She first hunted up all her relatives
descendants of her mothers brothers
and sisters, all in the third and fourth
generations Of the Wilson's, Macraes and
Fergusons-and gave them from $40 900
to $50, 900 each, $3.50, 900 in all to the

were supposed to have been provided for

nearly as much in private requests to
friends, including $50, 900 to Rev. DR..
John Hall, $4,000 to DR.. James McCosh,
of Princeton, and S., 900 each to his chill
dren. After remembering" every friend
and relative she still had 81, 100000 to
dispose of. This she divided among
churches and charities and educational
institutions, and this division is what
excites greatest interest.

A Matter of Experience.

There is popular fallacy that the
strongest timber is the heaviest. An
old lumber man says that neither color
nor weight has anything to do with the
strength of log. Timber sense" is
what he calls that faculty which win

tween the good and the bad. This can
only be acquired, if at all, by long ex-
perience.

Public opinion in Panama seems to
incline to the opinion that the big canal
enterprise viii eventually be taken up
by the United States government, and
this the papers there affect to believe
would be the best thing that could hap
pen, if France will not again take hold
of it. In Panama the people pretend to
despise the Nicaragua canal scheme, and
many persons there are said to be of the
opinion that the enterprise was only
started to force the Panama waterway
into the hands of the United States. The
Isthmus papers are particularly ener-
getic in publishing paragraphs tending
to show that the Nicaragua scheme is
only being pushed sufficiently to cause
it to continue to be regarded as live

Two Tales from the Sea.

Seafaring men frequently have novel

which investigation showed was large

Countess Tolstoi Greatly beloved.

1t is not surprising that the poor peo-
pie of Russia are all said to be ''lovers
of the Countess Tolstoi." She is in the
habit of giving periodical receptions for
the benefit of the starving peasants, all
of whom the countess is wont to speak
of as her sons and daughters. To these
receptions people come from miles
around, and after inspecting the pictures
of the saints which adorn the wall and
praying to them they depart, leaving
contributions on large table in the GEN.

Intellectual Orerwork.

Trained too fine" is the verdict when
celebrated racer breaks down. Why
isn't the same phrase applicable to the
wreck of genius? The brain, worked to
the limit to achieve dreams of conquest
or fame, runs at lightning speed. An
obstruction on the track causes smash.
The machinery goes to pieces and the
ruin is irreparable. Are not these cas-
uaities of intellect the forced tributes of
progress to the "avenging deities who
fear that man may become as the gods
in WisdOm?"

EVERYBODY
EATS
CRACKERS.

Everybody eats crackers and conse-
quently anything relating to their
manufacture and sale is of general in
terest. There was time in the his
tory of the business when crackers
were all about the same. One brand
was just about as good as another and
none of them were good enough to be
any great temptation to delicate
stomach. That time has passed. 1t
was a good many years ago. The
crackers Of the present generation are
are good crackers and bad crackers );
fresh crackers and stale crackers; and
of the whole lot, stale crackers are
the worst.
There are some grocers IN the coun-
try who sell stale, unpalatable crack
and make big profit on them. They
think their customers don't know the
difference and by and by, when their
cracker trade is all gone, and they
don't sell box in week, they look
surprised and say: Funny how peo-
pies tastes change. People don't care
for crackers any more"
Don't they though? People don't
care for stale, unwhOlesome crackers,
that's true, but they do care for a
cracker that is pure and fresh, and
altogether delightful as an article OF
food.
