The origin of testaments is lost in OBJ
security, but doubtless they followed soon
after the first institution of private prop
erty. Eusebius says that Noah made a
will soon after the flood wherein he dis.
posed Of the whole world. He was Ger
tainly possessed of considerable landed
estate, but Eusebius' story of the tesla
ment in writing and witnessed under his
seal needs confirmation.

however, we do find mention of will
wherein Jacob bequeathed to his son 10
seph twice as much as to his other chill
dren. This was not a testament in writ
ing, but verbal or "nuncupative" tesla
ment, declared by the testator sin ex.
tremis' before witnesses, and depending
upon oral testimony.
Such ''nuncupative" testaments wer
at one time recognized in English law
but in the eighteenth century Black

A Tanners Strange Infatuation,

The incident in reference to the wheel
wright's infatuation for Miss Gabrielle
Greeley, even after she decided to marry,
led to the publication of similar story
in Halifax, N. S. When Professor
Schurman was dean of the Dalhousie
college Pictou county tanner conceived
the idea that Mrs. Schurman was in love
with him, and would desert her hus-
band to become his wife. When DR..
Schurman became dean of Cornell uni
versity the tanner visited New York
state every few months to fondly gaze
upon the lady on the street or in her
pew. The tanner even went to the IA

How Leap Year Started.

Hampson, in his "Medii GVI. Kalan
dariuln," quotes the following quaint
tradition from an old Saxon treatise;
"Some assert that the bissextus or LEAP
day comes through this, that Joshua
prayed to God that the sun might stand
still for one days length, that he might
sweep the heather from the land thai
God had granted him and his followers
1t is true that the sun did stand still foa
one days length over the city of Gebaon
but the day went forward in the SAINT
manner as other days. And the bissex-
tus is not through that, as some dc
think" In France and some parts OF
Spain and Portugal there exists a ira
dition known as "the ghost of leap
year." Believers in this say that mar
vellous monster annually appears on
leap day and disarranges human affairs
for the remainder Of the year.-St. Louis

The WildeS,

Oscar Wilde, since he is a pere de
famille, is no doubt wiser and sadder
man; he has cut his hair, and no longer
wears garments a la Disraeli; he has left
off turn down collars and short wasted
coats and fobs, etc. Oscar has grown
very stout. His conversation is sti1l
brilliant-rather too epigra1nnatic and
wanting in simplicity.
Mrs. Wilde is young and pretty; very
quiet, almost demure. She is as silent
as Oscar is loquacious. Lady Wilde
Oscars mother) is striking old lady,
very accomplished. She can speak seven
languages, and though she has suffered
terribly from the state of Irish affairs,
she bears her many troubles bravely.
Her nom de plume is Speranza.-London

about the most desperate thing ever

Cash Girls.

While talking with James Miller, who
has been floor walker in one of New
York's big emporiums, but has set up a
store in neighboring town for himself
he said to me: 1.-THE newspaper which
will take up the cause of the immature
children who are engaged as cash girls
in the large stores of New York will be
doing great work for humanity. I have
no means Of knowing how many cash
girls there are in New York, but I should
say about 10000. Fully one-half of them
are under fourteen years of age, and
many even under twelve They are not
governed by the factory laws of the
states which prohibit the employment OF
children below certain ages in factory
work, and they are subjected to drudgery
that is sometimes terrible.
eff was obliged to make choice for
my own children of such ages, between
a factory and one of the big stores,
should choose the factory, where their
labor would be Of SUCH character as to
keep them busy all the time. In the
stores they have idle moments, when
they learn all sorts of wickedness. New
