WRONG ADDRESS IN III WILL
Corrected by the Court-Govin's Daughter
WIN Get tho House He Meant to Leave Her.


The General Term Of tho Supreme Court
composed of Judges Van Brunt Parker. and
Barrett, has rendered q decis!on on IN interest
ing point in an action brought for an interpreta-
ton of the viii OF Felix GOWN y Pinto, q
wealthy Cuban, who left two families Of three
children each. He left the bulk OF his estate to
his legitimate children, but gave each OF the
others q house and SEQ, 900. In regard to one Of
these houses he had given the wrong number,
and the point was TO have the court declare that
the house he did own was. intended. These
children were Felix, Emilia, and G~uillelmina
GOWN, whom he says, Hove a. children" He
gave Felix PAL West Twenty-third street.
goa West Thirty-ninth street.
IL appeared that Sehor GOWN did not own oO4
Lexington avenue, and that the only house hs
owned In that avenue was 73s. The Court
says:
"In such a case we regard Il as fairly settled
that II. Independently OF the false description,
the devise be efectual, the Court may In an ap-
propriate action strike out the misdescription
and read the will as II IL had never been in
serted. Striking out the figures '20+.' the de-
wise would be Of 0 house and lot with the num-
Der - Lexington avenue a devise which would
unquestionably vest in the devisee the only
house and lot which the ~testator owned on Lex
ington avenue, for which there could be no mis-
take as 10 the identity of tho lot"
The Court says that the error seems To have
crept in through the ~testator also deytsing 2O4
West Thirty-ninth street.

Superstition of the Turks.

The superstition Of the Turks is no.
where SO apparent as i'll their fear of
the ''ovil eye. Jugs placed around the
edge of the roof OF ali old shoe filed
with garlic and blue beets tblue glass
balls or rings) IRE a sure guard against
the illusion. Whenever a pretty child
is playing upon the street the passersby
will say, "Oh, what an ugly childi'
for fear Of melting the evil spirit
against its beauty. The peasant classes
in Turkey are of course the most super
stitious because they are the most ig-
norant. They have no education what
ever and can neither read nor write.
STEAMBOAT is the only great city of
wifi they know. Paris is a term sig
nifying the whole outside world. An
American missionary wal once asked,
''In what part of Paris is American"
Yet it can be said that they ere gener-
ally honest and always patient. They
earn from 9 to S cents a day. This will
furnish them with ekmek and pilaff,
and that is all they expect. They eat
meat only on feast days, and then only
mutton. The taxgatherer is their only
grievance. They look upon him as a
necessary evil. They have no idea of
being ground down under the oppress-
or's iron heel Yet they are happy be-
cause they are contented and have no
envy. The poorer, the more ignorant, a
Turk is the better be seems to be. As
he gets money aud power and becomes
