rice (as supposed to Prof. Tyndall. the

the whole story was pronounced TO be
pure invention.
But, in addition TO the fact that the
grains examined by the writer were un-
doubtedly rice, the alleged fact that
pearls will breed as described in water
alone introduces a fresh consideration.
The result at which the members OF the
Straits Asiatic society arrived appears
to have been an open one. II was held
that either the allegations made We're
true or that a most sigular agreement to
assert an absolute falSehood had been
come to by people personally unknown
to each other, and who had held no in
accommodation on the subject. The
believers and disbelievers were about
equal in numbers, but those who repre-
scented the latter in the debate on the
paper admitted that, If on jury, they
would have convicted a prisoner upon
testimony as strong, and apparently in

ing pearls. So here this curious ques-
ton rests.

One great reason which prevents ex-

the mother pearls. But the matter is
quite worth further trouble. and If the
local society were requested by any sci
entific body I'm England TO make an OK
haustive inquiry a mass of curious evil
dence would probably be forthcoming.
II may be added, in conclusion. that
lady married within the last two months,
was presented by her mother with
handsome pearl ring, the pearls OF which
she had herself bred. The brides mother
is the wife of a well-known resident in
the Straits settlements, and the story
will bear strict examination.
There is one other form of pearl, so
called, Of vegetable. origin-a calcerous
formation, sometimes nearly as large as
marble tits egg, now and then
found in the interior of the cocoanut.
Mr.. Streeter records their existence, but
offers no opinion as to their formation.
OF their being found there can be no
doubt, as they are frequently offered for
sale at enormous prices by the Ma1ays.

CENTURY OF COINAGE.


Our MINIS Have Been Turning Out Coin
just 100 Years.
The present year completes the cen
fury since the mint was fairly es-
tablished and began the work of max
ing coin, says J. B. McMaster in the
Forum. A review of that century
makes clear to US that the first great
currency question with which the coun-
try had to deal was whether there
should be national coinage, or legal
Hing and rerating of the debased for
eign coin of pre-revolutionary days.
The chartering of the banks of the
United States and the rise of state
banks settled this question and gave
the country paper currency based on
foreign coin. The winding up of the
second United States banks and be-
ginning of gold mining brought up in
1884 the second great currency ques-
ton, which was, shall the money
of the country be, hard or soft, metal
lie or paper? The gold coin act of 1884
was the attempt to settle this, and
brought on the first bimetallic discus
sion ever held in congress. The at
tempt was failure. A false ratio and
the unexpected discovery of gold in
California demonetized silver, and the
fractional silver coin act of 1885
marked the second effort to preserve
and remonetize silver. Once more the
effort proved vain. and the acts of 1878,
1873 and 1890 followed.

A Tree on Every Grave.

In the land of the Moslem, the coun-
try of the followers of Mahomet, the
true prophet, Moslem grave, when
once filed in, is never to be opened on
any account. With view to remove
the faintest chance of any grave being
thus defiled the Moslems plant cy-
press tree on every grave Immediately
after the interment, which makes the
Moslem cemeteries resemble forests.
Two hundred millions, or fourteen per
cent. of the human race, profess Mo-
hammedanism. A year or two ago
some missionaries were sent to this
country in order to seek it's conversion
to the ''true faith" Turkey is the
only portion of Europe occupied in
force by Moslems, but they abound in
many parts of Asia. In the island of
Tnmor burials are much delayed owing
to the necessity of gathering funds for
the burial feast, which in most cases
means ruin to the family. After the
feast comes the burial; as soon as the
grave is filed in young cocoanut
palm is planted upon it.

THE DATE OF THE WILL.

There are no direct words of graut or conveyance to the residuary iegatees. Upon the settlement of the executors administration account the residuary es- tate is to be ''paid over to the trustee. and after certain time he is to cause it ito be divided" among the legatees. There are no other words of conveyance to the trustee, but his appointment is couched in these: II hereby appoint Charles Henry Peck trustee of my estate for the following II years from the time he receives said funds from the execu- tor.'
 These provisions, if valid. are suflic- tent to give a legal estate to the trustee named. DonaIds vs. Plumb. 3 Conn.,. 447, 452. Whether such estate became vested in him of right, upon the decease of the testatOr, or his title would com mence at the time when he was to re- ceive possession, it is not now important to inquire.

 These legatees were a designated iDdi- vidual, and class already in being, the grandchildren of his deceased brother.

 If this be so, and if no beneficial inter- est were previously vested, such a post ponement would defeat the general scheme of the will, since the common law rule against perpetuities remains in full force in this state. As the individuals to be benefited by the division were all as certained and in being at the death of the testator, except so far as subsequent deaths might lessen or subsequent births increase the number of his brothers grandchildren, and as one at least of the parents of each after-bOrn grandchild must be person in being at the testa- tors death,

AMONG THE PLAINTIFFS

AMONG THE PLAINTIFFS were Annis Booth, the widow of Orville Booth, suing individually, and five of her grandchildren who were minors, suing by her as their next friend. Two of them were children of John W. Booth and the plaintiffs.
 Upon the argument of the cause, early during the term, all the plaintiffs were represented by the same counsel who claimed. as did also the counsel for John ". Booth, that the residuary provision in the will for the grandchildren of Or vile Booth was void. The court there upon stated that it would be proper to have the minor grandchildren represent ed by some next friend other than Annis Booth, whose counsel were attacking the validity of the will; and the cause was remanded with directions for the substi- tuition of some more suitable person. THIS SUBSTITUTION WAS MADE, | and the cause was re-argued at later day during the term, all parties being represented.
 The clauses in the will which were the subject of consideration are given in the 1 opinion of the court, Baldwin. J. The 1 will of Elon Booth, after providing fol certain bequests and charges, proceeds a| follows:
 .'Af eI the above bequests have beel

 Six other annuities, to the widow am children of Orville Booth, during the sam period, are then given, the seven amount ing in all to $2000 year.
 Then follow these provisions: 9Th above sums to be paid yearly from the ir come of my estate, and should that b insufficient, then each one to be paid pro rata from said income and from no othe source."
