A Poetic Will.

An authenticated copy of the will
Ut Arson p X. Stafford was filed in
the Probate Court.
Stafford died in Hillshorough County,
Florida, in December, 1891, leaving
property in that State and in Cali
fornia valued at $40, 200. The will
was probated there, and is brought
here to secure the administration of
the property here.
One-third Of Safford's estate goes
to his widow, one-third to his sister.
S., 900 to his adopted son and the re-
mainder to his daughters.
There is nothing remarkable about
the will except its quaint conclusion.
Here the testator says: "This life is
only the beginning Of another. You
will miss me, but shall be with you
and meet and welcome you on the
other shore; but you have your work
to do here.
"Do it braveIy and do not mourn
for me, for l shall not be dead.
shall only bid you good evening in
order to he able to say good morning
to you when we meet on the other
shore. "--San Francisco Call

grief and loneliness, should throw her
fair form into his arms, ask him to for
give, forget and take her back, would
he be able to Withstand the terrible
temptation? True, Angelo was as good
as dead to her, and q strange fate with
an almost playful cruelty had again
brought the beautiful creature within
his grasp. Why should he not reach
out for her? But no; had Angelo been
a convicted criminal it might have
been different. As it was, he had been
wrongfully convicted, and it was Luz
cien's duty to look after his rights as a
man and brother.
AS Monsieur Duclos announced his
willingness to receive his daughter
back under his roof again, Lucien dis
patched his servant to conduct her
thither, and then, with a sigh that
came from the depth of his noble soul.
he turned his face toward the home of
his childhood, in the faraway village
of Varengeville. near Dieppe, O de-
lightful spot hallowed by the memory
OF his mother. with whose love fate
seemed firmly resolved that Lucien
must content himself. Here, possibly
he might be happy. But Lucien shook
his head at this thought.
Human happiness" he murmured,
us like the scant supply of loaves and
fishes. Nothing short of miracle can
make it go around and reach every
hungry heart.

with little Jeanne, had followed Lucien
up. That will not be enough, that

more than that" And then. as the
master bountiful felt those beautiful
arms once more entwined around his
neck, and that fair form pressing
against him. his brain reeled for a mo-
ment and 1t seemed as If Joy must kill
him.
When he came fully to himself that
sweet, erring child Of the southland
lay upon his breast, and the little
cherub, her attendant sprite, had
clambered upon his knee. Their VIC
tory was complete. That autumn,
fume of ripening fruit, Lucien and
Madeleine were declared man and wife
in front of the altar in the quaint old
church across whose portal he had not
passed since his mothers death: and
hundreds Of hearts beat in joyful ac-
cord with theirs, and at last he felt the
tide turning and saw the bread which
he had cast upon the waters coming
back to him again. AS the choir took
up the glorious chant "Veni, Sancte
Spiritus, voice Of strange power and
sweetness rang out above all the others.

singers were hushed by the wonderful.

melody:

The Milk Diet.

Tempting, choice viands are not
within the reach of every purse, but
good, simple, wholesome food is. The
poorest man can afford to drink milk,
and milk contains every essential
needful for the sustenance Of vitality
and the restoration of lost powers.
There are so many ways of preparing
milk, either alone or in combination
with eggs, fresh vegetables, as in
soups, etc, that one cannot exclaim
at the monotony. First of all, try
boiled milk, bearing in mind that
milk may be contaminated, and that
boiling effectually ends the possible
ity Of danger from it. II cold milk is
more grateful than hot, drink it cold,
taking care to have no ice in direct
contact with it. Put the milk in
bottles or kettles, and let them be in
contact with the ice. Cultivate the
habit of drinking eight or ten glasses
of milk every day. II this is done, it
will be safe enough to omit meals oc-
casionally. Milk does not seem to
agree with some few persons, and for
them three or four ounces daily of
cream will prove most excellent
food. Hot milk is more effective in
relieving nervousness and fatigue
than any alcoholic preparation, and
is far less expensive. Many 3incura-
BILE" maladies may be put to flight by
living on a milk diet In ten DAYS
one will be improved, and in a few
months will find health fully re-
stored.-Philadelphia Record.

THE SALTY SEA. !

Water.

Cause Of the Peculiar Taste ef Ocean
Professor Edward Hull, In alectugo
TO the members OF the Vict0ri9e In
stitue, London, explained q that \
throughout all geological time the
ocean had been receiving c0ntIn-F
ual supplies from rivers bringing down
not only sediments but salts and car
Donates, together with silica, In solu-
tion. The sediment was deposited
over the ocean floor, and generally
not far from the lands, while the dis
solved ingredients were carried by
the currents into all partA
Meanwhile the ocean surface was
constantly giving OF, particularly
over the equatorial regions, enormous
quantities OF vapor, which we're car
ried into the higher regions OF the
atmosphere, and were precipitated in
the form Of rain and snow over the
lands Part, Of course, fell ON the
sea again, but the greater quantity
fell on the land surface, and was re-
turned to the ocean in streams
charged with fresh salts and carbon
ates. The consequence OF that pro-
cess must eclearly he that the sa-
line ingredients had been increasing
In the oceanic waters from the ear
Hest periods down to. the present day.
Concerning the usefulness OF salt,
there Is much to be said. 1t is one of
the most effective remedies for many
ills II used persistently enough it

ache is to place pinch of salt on the
tongue and allow it TO dissolve

be followed by drink of wateE.s
There Is nothing better for the relief
OF tired or weak eyes, than to battle
them with strong eolution of salt

The First Dining Car.

A great deal of dispute has arisen
at different times concerning the first
dining cars, and when they we're first
used and on what roads The Pitts
burgh Post gives the following as
having been derived from a man who
is represented as we'll known cleo
trician and chemist, but whose name,
unfortunately, is not given:
1.-THE first dining cars run in this
country, or any other for that matter,
were run between New York and Chi
cago via the Northern Central. Grand
Trunk and Michigan Central in the
year 1853 The officers of these diff
ierent companies met in New York
In the spring of that year, and among
other things discussed was the FEAST
bility Of running dining car over
the connecting lines, especially on
one train then known as the Light
ming Express, which ran between
New York and Chicago. Trains as
fast as this one were compelled to
make two stops for meals while maxi
ing the run-one at Marshalls, the
other at Jackson, twenty minutes for
each meal, making forty-one minutes
of valuable time lost
''After discussing the question for
some time it was finally decided to
try it. The seats were taken out of
an ordinary coach and tables put
along either side. with stools fastened
to the floor, giving it the appearance
of restaurant The rear half of the
baggage car was fitted up to answer
the purpose of kitchen, and there
the cooking was done. Some trouble
was experienced In bringing the food
from one car to the other, and when
crossing the platform the cinders
would rain down on the head of the
waiter and into the dishes he was
carrying. Sometimes the waiter in
trying to hurry across the platform
would strike the side of the door
with his tray, splitting the dishes and
narrowly avertine falling from the
train himself. The first advance
ment was made in the walters, the
company after awhile being very par
ticular to get those of certain color,
all of about one size and good look
Ing. The car was success from the
start, meals being SO cents EACH"

foregoing was at that time" the Post
says, 'dining Car conductor on one of
these cars"

A Georgia Editors Unique Declaration
Upon the Arrival Of His Birthday
w. Trox Bankston, editor of the
Ringgold, Ga. New South, published
the following as his leading editorial
In a recent issue:

Progress Since the First Exposition.

Progress since the First Exposition.
During the four decades that have
elapsed since the date of the first
universal exposition such marvels
have been wrought in the way of in
dustrial, mechanical and commercial
enterprise as have placed the world
as many old-time centuries forward
in the path of progress. In 1851
there were in the United States but

Insects and Search.IliRhts.

A new contribution has been made
to the abundant data which has been
collected on the subject OF the at
traction of and destruction OF insects
by the glare of the electric light, by
L, hewitt, an electrical engineer,
who was on service ON a ship of the
British navy during the last war In
Egypt Mr.. hewitt was DESTROYS of
testing the power Of the search-light.
and states that he and friend read
a newspaper one night as they sat in
the garden Of their hotel at Port Said
with the greatest ease, the only
illuminant being the light of pro.
jector, whose beam had been thrown
a distance of four and one-half miles
from one OF the battle-ships Some
of the ships had instructions to fol-
low the movements of the enemy by
the aid Of the search-light, which in
every case was more than two miles
from the shore. However, in spite Of
this great distance, it was found that
millions of winged insects were at
tracted by the beam of light and
travelled along the Eeam until they
struck the glass in front Of the pro-
jector, and fell into the we'll at its
foot, where they accumulated in a
seething mass two feet deep. They
had to be cleared out by the free use
OF hose pipe, and the process had
to be renewed frequently, and the in
sects became such pest that it was
difficult to find man who would
stand by the protector to keep it
working, owing to the attacks made
upon dim.

The Care of WindOws.

It il surprising that women do not
more often adopt the method used by
storekeepers for cleaning and polish
ing glass have tried it myself for
several months, and found it espe-
ciallv valuable during cold weather,
when it would not be practicable to
use water outside. I use it both in
and out.
Provide yourself with common
alcohol and whiting: make the cloth
damp but not wet with the liquid,
then dip it into the whiting. Rub
the glass as you would If using soap
and water. Polish with chamois.
Windows cleaned in this manner will
shine and sparkle, and will keep clean
much longer than il done in the old
laborious way Of rinsing and wiping
and polishing.
Next after clean glass come neat
shades
To keep shades from streaking dust

DO this by drawing the shade down
to its full length, and using a feather
buster along the front and over the
roller. AS you roll up the shade keep
on busting the roller You will by
this means brush both sides, for they
roll up from the outside.
