A VaIuabl Lantern.

A will written with a pencil on a shingle was once admitted to probate in the United States. The author of 'Gossip of the Century, tells story still more curious. Two British soldiers, comrades, while talking over the chances of war on the eve of a battle, agreed that whichever of them survived the other should inherit all his possessions. To insure the carry ing out of their agreement, they made their wills. As paper and pens were not at hand, they scratched their Hast will and testament on horn lantern with rusty nail. The battle was fought, and one of the comrades was killed. The other man, in course of time, returned to England, carrying with him the singular document He took it to Doctors Commons, where it was proved and allowed. Then it ap- peared that the poor fellow who had died in battle had, without hearing of it, inherited property yielding two hundred pounds ayear, and the legatee under the horn-lantern will received the inheritance.

Tropical Animals in Captivity Suffer
 Most During the Heated Term.
 'It will surprise most people, ,' said Superintendent A. E. Brown, of the Philadelphia geological garden, to a Record man, ito learn that the polar bear stands the hot weather of the dog days in this locality better than the African lion. On hot days the lion Will get otf hls Ieeu; the pear will not The tropical animals in the garden, !" continued the superintendent, ''are the ones mostly affected by the extreme heat of midsummer, strange as it may appear. l suppose the reason of it is that the heat there is more moist than that of the tropics, and, as it were, of a different character. Whatever mor- tality occurs among our animals dur ing heated term is mostly among the tropical animals, especially the A frican In hot weather I have watched the polar bear go into his tank, and then, instead of lying in the shade, extend himself in the direct rays of the sun, where the water on his skin would evaporate. He found out for himself, l suppose, that evaporation causes a lower temperature. Again, it is some what astonishing, at first, that our polar bear should suffer sometimes as he does from the severe cold of winter. I have seen him shivering on one of those bitterly cold days, when the sky was overladen and the air full of mois- ture. The moisture was evidently what affected him. In the arctic regions it is so cold that the moisture is frozen out of the air. Birds do not like the heat. It makes them perch with dropped wings. Heat affects not only the animals in the garden, but the finances of the garden itself. A differ ence of ten degrees in the thermome- ter, say if it is ninety-f1ve instead of eighty-five, means a loss of several hun dred dollars in our gate receipts for the daV"

HE FUNERAL OF AN ANGELITo.

En Paraguay the Death of Child Is Con-
 sidered a Matter of Rejoicing.
 While wandering about inside the recoleta one morning two bells inside the old church began to ring out joy ouslv, as if for wedding, writes Fannie B. Ward to the Chicago Tribune. Looking through the gateway saw procession coming, at cheerful jog trot, down the sandy lane, which is bordered with grass and luxuriant shrubs. They were all women and girls, not a man among them, so it could not be a wedding-some with babies in their arms, others with chil- dren trotting at their sides, the little boys wearing ponchos, the women and girls dressed after the Paraguayan fashion of skirt and camisole, every one barefooted and with black shawl or square of white cotton draped over the head. They advanced with laugh ter and gayety, almost on a gentle run; and the young woman who led the cortege carried on her head little coffin enveloped with linen embroidery, edged with nanduti lace, and strewn with fresh red roses. It was an angelito, little angel" and there fore no cause for sadness, for through out all Spanish America the death of child is considered rather a matter for rejoicing. So, while the bells clattered more merrily than ever, the joyous group passed the turnstile, traversed the cloisture of the church and halted beside shallow hole.
 Looking into it we saw that its sides were a sandwich of different layers and strata of bones and broken collins, smoothly cut by the spade, and that the heap of fresh earth beside it con- tained skull or two lone with long black hair clinging to it), some old joints and Laarrow bones, a baby's shoe, bits of coffin, shreds of clay-soiled grave clothes, and other recuerdos of the for gotten dead. A grave digger, wearing long, brown-striped poncho, placed the rose-strewn box containing the angelI6U into the hole and proceeded to shovel the dirt and bones in upon it, incidentally pushing in the hairy skull with his bare foot; now and then get ting in to stamp down the loose earth and make all snug and secure. Then the group left the cemetery, still gay and happy, the mother without tear in her eyes, but chattering with the rest-not because she was lacking in natural affection, but because. she be- heved with unshaken trust that her baby was not there in the damp earth but safe in Mary's arms, where she would one day find it. She carried with her a black wooden cross, with the embroidered linen that had draped the coffin wound about it.

 The device is extremely simple and comnara- lively inexpensive Its plan of operation is this
 There is a pipe fastened to opening in the vertical gate, l.

SOLD HIS WIFE.
Yorkshire Man Parts with Better
Half for Thirty ShiIlings.

There wee present the h~usband-an
ironworker. resident at Masborough-the
wife. who, 1t is alleged. had transferred
her affections 20 a Kilnhurst miner: the
miner himself, the wife's parents and two
friends, says the Cleveland Post. The
wife was prepossessing in appearance,
and was of about the same age as her
husband and suitor-twenty-siX or TWEEN
ty-eight years. The separation had been
mutual. The husband thought he was
entitled to ~pecuniary recompense, and
the following is some indication of what
transpired or this point:
The Wife-I think he wants too much;
ne wants f3.
The Miner-When l set off this morning
| only intended 10 give 20 shillings for
thee.
There was more bargaining, and at
last the husband said: II fixed my price
at f3, but | will come down to r." The
reduced value was not acceptable, and
there seemed a possibility of the negotia-
tons falling through, the husband at
one stage intimating: W will stop as
We are, them
More conversation as to price followed,
and eventually the amount agreed upon
was 30 shillingr. Afterwards there were
husband. The arrangement was duly
ratified in writing, the precise wording
only being settled upon after some
trouble. i saw the first effort at the
drawing up Of the document. which read
as follows; Mr.: to let my wife,
DO as she has a mind, this day, 18th
December" One other detail had to be
arranged, and that was with regard to
he custody of a child of the marriage.
The husband, it should be stated, took
all responsibility in this matter.

CHARITY WAS HIS TEXT.
Praise for "The Evening World "
in Rev. Mr.. Finch's Sermon.

There were but few dry eyes yester-
day in the pretty First Baptist Church.
Hoboken, during the eloquent discourse
Of Rev. ]. Finch. on the subjec. of
charity. Mr.. Finch took for his text
the tweaty-hfth verse, chapter IL. Of
the gospel of St. Luke-.the story Of
Lazarus and the rich man.
In the course of his remarks MIR.
Finch said:

1T is the business OF the rich to
see that the poor are cared for and
sheltered. For the day, is coming, when
silent with poverty shall have their
say. The rich, with their palaces. with
the beggars at their gates shall be re-
ace. and the rich man at his gate.
Il care not to give any special praise
to any one newspaper, but / canno re-
frain from speaking OF the noble
work undertaken by The Evening
World in the cause OF charity. The
work it has undertaken Is the most
meritorious In the annals of misery in
America.
1T Is a fearful task to do what has
been done at the Free Food Commission
at 80 Murray street. New York. Within
a single week thousands of starving peo-
pie ave been saved from the pangs OF
hunger through The Evening World and
the generous merchants who are sup
porting the Commission.
II stood across the street from that
Commission yesterday and l saw sights
enoug to make the hardest heart bleed.
Hundreds of our own poor from Hobo

is always the mediator between the rich
and poor.

After reading from a memorandum the

nave so nobly given of their means.
