surprising that tie executors under the

More bold than the executors, how
ever. the commissioners of charitable
donations and bequests for Ireland have
obtained letters of administration, and

chancellor's chambers to settle scheme
for the application of the bequest. Hap

Patti Sang for the Parrot.
In her castle at Craig-y-Nos Nine.
Patti has $4,000 parrot, which she
cherishes and pets as if it were child.
One day there went to interview Patti a
young man who had travelled long and
far to view the beautiful Craig-y-Nos
palace. "Mme. Patti will be here in a
moment" said the door attendant.
Just then there was a rustic of skirts
and Mime. Patti swept into room ad-
joining. In minute the most beauti-
ful, birdlike notes rose upon the air, un-
mistakably from PATHS throat.
'She is singing to me-" said the de-
lighted listener to himself, ''and she is
too modest to come in and sing directly
before me. She wants me to hear her
as she sings at home. Oh, what joy to
have this privilege!'
At this moment the heavy draperies
were pulled aside and the attendant
said:
"You may wait upon Nine. Patti

every day. This way, sir, if you please

FEMALE SEARcHERs FOR GoLD.-In
the gold mining industry of Columbia
the work of river bar washing is gene
rally performed by women alone. Feb
ruary is the dryest month of the year,
according to the Engineering and MIN
ing Journal, and during it the rivers are
very low, and beaches and bars are
then exposed which during the rest of
the year are covered by two to four
feet of water. When q good paying
bar is found the news travels quickly
and women come from miles around to
work it. The only tools used are the
batea for washing, cachos for gathering
and almocafre for loosening the gravel.
The scene presented is oftimes very
animated Babies are placed in bask-
cts under TIE shade Of some gigantic
pichinde. The oder children play
about the bee ch, and even assist in the
washing. The women too Cd to work
tend to the fire and roast plantains for
the noon-day meal. The dress of all is
extremely simple, being nothing more
than two yards of q coarse woolen
cloth tied around the waist 1t is a
ward wide and consequently, while
touching the ground when worn by
short women, it comes but little below
the knees when worn by tall one.
Some of the women tie gaudy hand
kerchief about the neck, leaving it to
fall over the bosom; others are naked
above the waist.
The work is begun by removing the
large stones on top; or rather, the
woman facing up the stream throws
the stones in front and on each side,
forming three sides of q rectangle
(burro) Then the finer gravel and
sand is loosened with the almocafre,
and dipping in their bateas, they fillthem
from in front by the aid of the cachos.
When filled the batea is washed over
the burro, the resulting metal being put
in a goure, kept for the purpose, called
mate. The women frequently work
when the water is so deep that it is
necessary to dive, and then fiat stone
weighing from four to eight pounds is
tied to the small of the back by creep
ers called beiucos or guasca. The
work is carried on in very desultory
manner, the women frequently stop
ping to smoke and gossip or to nurse
their babies, so that although the day
is spent at the place, it is seldom that
more than three hours work is done,
during which time thirty-five or forty
| five bateas of gravel are washed.

His First Fee.

The Rev. DR.. Blank, now promi-
nent pastor in prominent church, had
his first charge in a country district,
and he tells this story
''The first couple I married" he says,
'!came to the house where l boarded
and had my study, for I was a bachelor
then, and they were genuine specimens
of the rustic lover-he tall and gawky,
she awkward, but pink-cheeked and
pretty, as rustic beauty goes. They
came in wagon and it did not take
long to perform the ceremony. After
it was over l thought it my duty to kiss
the bride, and bent forward to do so,
when the groom laid his hand on my
arm.
"sNo you don't, mister he said,
good naturedly. 'I'll tend to that part
of it myself and he proceeded to do so
vigorously.
y smiled and offered no argument,
and as they started out / followed them
to the front door. There the groom in
vited me to come out to the wagon,
where he had something for me. He
uclDcCl llc DlluC III, SOt III EllloCll DC-
side her on the board seat, and reaching
down behind him lifted out a sack of
potatoes and handed them over to me. /
thanked him and took them as my fee,
and was about to tell him goodbye,
when the groom, proudly looking at the
girl and at me, said
"'Ain't she beauty mister?
"'Very handsome | admitted.
"'Nothin' purifier in the country, is there?'
and he chucked her under the chin.
Not that have seen, I'm sure l assent
cd cordially.
".Air you married :: he asked, quite kindly
thought.
"'I'm sorry to say I'm not, confessed.
"'Ain't got no wile?'
NO
".Nothin' like this in the house.? And
again he chucked the blushing bride under
the chin.
= No, I'm all alone.
u guess there must have been touch of
sadness or regret in my voice, for the groom's
face took ON the grace of sympathy.
Look here. mister he said, I'll tell you
what III do. II you'll give me back them
taters and half q dollar to boot You can kiss
the bride
"Of course I couldn't be so ungallant as to
refuse the offer, il indeed it had been safe to
have done so, and handing over the potatoes
and the only half dollar l had, l gracefully
saluted the bride, and sent both on their way
with my blessing. Free Press.
