4 YOUNG medical student OF the
police intirmary in Paris, named Gus
tave Lefillatre, has had curious
communication on the subject of
legacy left TO him by stranger. 1t
was in the form OF letter from
solicitor named Leger, practicing at
Marines, in the department of the
Seine-et-0ise. The solicitor informed
him that the late DIR. Dubois. n med
ical man at Chars, had left will by
which he bequeathed all his surgical
and medical appliances, free Of legacy
duty, 10 the two students obtaining
their degree at the examination next
after the decease OF the testator.
The two students selected were TO be
those who came out No. Ii and No.
81 in the list. The other lucky man
was NJ. Georges Labey, who was TO
make an appointment to go with Nj.
Lefilliatre to fetch the property. A.
first it was thought that the letter
was n hoax, as practical jokes are
common among medical students,
but the two young men went to the
place indicated, and were there duly
presented with an exceptionally fine
collection of instruments and access
sories OF all kinds for division be-
tween them. They learned that their
being specially chosen was due to the
fact that the deceased doctor had
twice passed an examination, and he
had on those occasions been No. Ii
and No. 81 on the lists.

A MILWAUKEE, (Wis.) horse dis
tinguished himself by climbing
stairs, jumping out OF windows and
eating glass, after which he was
killed. lie had the blind staggers or
something worse. The animal got
out OF n Mineral street livery stable
ut an early hour and the first thing
he did was TO climb up the stairs
leading TO the hayroom and granary
on the second floor Of the barn. He
was nearly TO the top when he saw
window and lie promptly threw him
self out and he landed in light
delivery wagon. His weight crushed
one side OF the wagon and let the
horse roll out. by this time the
horse had become almost blind
and it stumbled up nm alley until
Grove street was reached. Here
the animal proceeded TO make
tour around Richard Bosch's sa-
loon. II found n window and stopped
to demolsh it. He broke part OF
it with his head and then began
TO chew the rest OF the sash and glass.
Next he found cellarway and he
fell into this. but managed TO extri-
cate himself just as the night watch
man arrived. The officer tried TO
drive him out OF the yard, but the
horse continued on It's course around
the house until 1t again reached the
alley. Here its bruised head collided
with brick wall. The horse reached
Grove street once more and headed
straight for the plate windows in
w. 7. Lochme's drug store. The
horse struck one Of the iron pillars
but the pressure on the glass was not
sufficient TO break IL. The animal
then reaching door between the
drug store and Simon Shafer's
saloon, started up the stairs and got
