Legacies for Pet Animals.

Miss Susan Goreas of Roxborough, Pa
is not the first woman who has aggravated
her human heirs by leaving humping
legacy to favorite cat. Miss Gorgas' be-
quest of 81, 900 for the support of her feline
friend will occasion lawsuit. The cat has
since died, and the guardians of five kittens
that survived her mean to try to secure the
81 900 for their maintenance. Women, and
old maids especially, seem to be most given
to eccentric provision for pet animals by
will. A famous instance is the will of
Madame Dupuis, the French harpist, who
charmed Parisians in the seventeenth CEN
tury with her exquisite playing. She had a
tender spot in her heart for cats, and di-
rected in her will that 80 sous week should
be spent upon two that had made their
home with her. She also directed that they
should be served daily with two meals of
meat soup, in separate plates, and two
rations of finely minced meat mildly
seasoned.
A pet parrot belonging to Mrs Elizabeth
Hunter, of London, was well provided for
after that lady's death in 1913, with an an
nuity of s., 900 year for life As parrots
often live to 100 years or more that splen-
didly endowed Polly may be still talking.
lumbus, O., left large sum of money to be
spent upon the erection of a home for cats.
II was to be an asylum and hospital for In
digent and decayed cats. Mr. Jackson left
plans for the building, which was to include
sleeping chambers, dining room, roomy
back yard, with fence for exercise and
conversation, and roots of easy ascent for
climbing. For the amusement of the in
mates rat-holes were to be provided, and an
auditorium where all the cats were to
assemble each day and listen to music on
the accordion, which Mr. Jackson thought
would harmonic most pleasantly with the
cats voices. But it is to be feared that the
cats of Columbus have never profted by
Mr.. Jackson's generous intentions. There
are other instances in plenty of bequests to
animals; to gold fish, to canaries to
monkeys, to dogs frequently, and to horses.
A Frenchman of Toulouse, in a will dated
1871, appointed his russet cob his heir, and
though relatives of the testator contested
the will, the courts upheld the rights OF the
horse.

The Amazons of Dahomev.

The people of Dahomey, who are again
threatening war with the French, are GER
tsinly unique enough in their manners and
customs to warrant the profound interest of
the anthropologist, but the chief Interest
the civilized world takes in them now is
confined to the hope that they will not be
allowed much longer to practice the awful
enormities for which they have been famous.
The Dahomeyans simply revel in cruelty.
To kill or to torture is to them the keenest
of pleasures. The Office of executioner is q
post of honor to which only the richest and
most powerful in the lasd dare aspire, and,
as a matter of course, the wealthier the exc
cutoner the better the opportunity for sat
isfying his brutal instincts.
There is no doubt whatever that France
will crush the kingdom of Dahomey,
whether it be now or in the early future,
but there is also no doubt that France
will have no easy task in doing it With
all their british instincts the Dahoney
negro is above the ordinary intelligence Of

artistic form of illustration within the reach
of advertisers generally, and, aside from
the improvement in the pictures in the
news columns, the advertising pages are
often ornamented with photo-engravings of
real beauty. 1t has been found that Mr.
Moss was right when he predicted years
ago that the new process would not SUPER
sede the costlier methods of wood and steel
engraving, but would supplement them.
Photo-engraving has simply made illustra-
tion popular and more truly artistic in all
its forms BE lived long enough to see his
prediction fulfilled and to reap some of the
fruits of his discovery. The accompanying
portrait is made by the process he invented.

ruler are limited, but he has not confined
his efforts to maintaining his ducal revenues.
Duke Ernst is one of the few princes who
have cultivated the arts of literature and
music to the worlds advantage In his
memoirs, which he has already published
under the title of ''My Life and Time" he
reveals considerable ability as writer,
as well as disposition of singular amiabil-
ity. As musician he has not endangered
the laurels of Wagner, but an opera of his
called Christina of Sweden" has been per-
formed successfully in his own court
theater, and while another opera written by
him did not set London, where it was pro-
duced, crazy with delight, was admitted by
the critics to be a creditable work, es-
pecially from a royal composer.
AT home in his little duchy he is we'll
liked, for he has much of the kindly nature
and refined taste which endeared his brother,
Prince Albert, to the English subjects of
Queen Victoria His wife, who will cele-
brate the golden wedding with him, was
Princess Alexandrine, daughter of the late
Duke Leopold of Baden. During the
Franco-Prussian war the newspapers had .
good deal of fun with Duke Ernst because
be would persist in talking about the great
things ''Me and the King" had done for
Germany. In addition to other claims to
distinction he has that which princes have
the proper purse to attain, remarkable
record as traveller. for he has made tour
Of the world, including an exploring trip
into Africa. Altogether Duke Ernst has
done pretty well for Prince who started
out with the handicap of the soubriquet of
Handsome Ernst"

Christ's simple words with mystic meanings load.
The Same Christ and His sacrince profess,
The same ''Our Fatner'' and His Son proclaim,
Yet hold those damned whose creeds are not the

But those who pray within their church are besssd
Yet al believe in God, and trust In Christi
To have His Kingdom come in earnest strive.
What matter Lord what garb the toiler's wear
Who till Thy fields to have Thy harvest thrivef
