DALTON WILL STANDS
Bishop Mcdonnell Will Get
About $4,000.
Many Big Requests to Church
Institutions.
Contrasting Heirs Withdraw All
Objections.

A majority of the alleged heirs of the
late Bridget 7. Dalton. of Brooklyn, who
laid claim to her estate when she died
last February, were absent this morning
when Surrogate Abbott, of Brooklyn,
admitted the will to probate.
The objections to the filing of the will
were withdrawn.
Mrs. Dalton left an estate valued at
about sl75.oO0. A large portion Of 1t goes
to Bishop Charles E. Mcdonnell, OF
Brooklyn.
The objection was made that Mrs.
Dalton. who was a very old woman
when she died. had been subjected to
undue influence. Her nearest relatives
were first cousins. Among them was
Mrs. Quigley. the mother of Police jus
tice Quigiey. These cousins receive about
$4,000 In all. The Home of the Little
Sisters Of the Poor gets 1000. The Ro-
man Catholic Orphan Asylum, 5000; St.
Johns r. c. Church, 5000; the Little
Sisters Of the Poor of st. Francis, 5000:
Bishop Mcdonnell. 5000, and the ex-
ecutors $500 each.
The balance of the estate, after all
debts are paid. goes to Bishop Melon
nell. 1t is estimated that he will get
about $4,000.

The Cantilever Bridge.

A-caatilssar hridge is one in which
'the span is formed by bracket-shaped
trusses extending inward from the sup
ports and connected in the middle
either directly or by means Of a third
truss. If the supports are piers they
are placed near or at the centre OF the
bracket truss, and the outer ends are
made to counterbalance the weight OF
the inner ends. You can make crude
cantilever yourself. Place two boards
end to end over carpenters horses so
that their inner ends shall be some
distance apart. Lay board across
the inner ends and fasten the outer
ends SO that they will sustain weights
placed on the centre board. The chief
advantage of cantilever bridge is
that it can be built without a scaffold
being used to get the central truss
into position. The two arms are
pushed out, one from either pier or
bank. When they are made fast the
central truss is pushed out on one
arm, until spanning the interval, it is
made fast to the other arm. The word
comes from the Latin quanta libra,
meaning "of what weight" 1t is said
that Japanese devised the bridge; !;
certainly an ignorant Mexican Indian
had used one on his farm as long ago
as 1850. Probably the "Jap" had an
ticipated him, however. New York

How the Nose Works.

.', In ordinary respiration the nose
recognizes only pronounced odors,
since the flaments of the olfactory
nerve are distributed only in the up
per third of tho lining membrane OF
its fossa, and in ordinary breathing
the air passes directly through the
lower half of these cavities. Hence,
modified respiratory efort-a quick,
forced inspiration or ''sniff"-is usu-
ally necessary in order to bring air
carrying odoriferous particles to the
olfactory nerve endings.
! Nevertheless, whenever air mixed
with odorous gases and noxious par
ticles is inhaled through the nose
during few successive ordinary res
pirations, the olfactory sense is
awakened to knowledge of their
presence through the law Of diffusion
of gases, in virtue of which the odor-
ous particles are conveyed to the
superior fosse of the nose, and thence
to the terminal hlaments of the OIL
factory nerve. Thus, to certain ex-
tent, the sense of smell is preservative
of health. York Commercial

A Queer Nesting Place.

The nest shown in the picture was
built by pair of robins at Upper
Woodstock, New Brunswick, in the
belfry of o factory one Sunday last
spring. The factory bell rings morn
ing, noon and night, and at 6 o'clock
on Saturday afternoon it had rung for
the last time in the week. The bell
hung idle all day on Sundays, and the
robins seem to have noticed 1t. so
they began their work almost before
the last sound had died away and
worked until the darkness of night
overlook them. The robins in that
village have been molested so often by
nest-robbing boys and cruel cats that
for many years they have left the or
chards and the trees, where they dear
" love to build, and have sought more
sheltered situations in buildings and
sheds. This accounts for the choice
of such q nesting place, that seemed SO
safe, although it overlooked the little
village and was in plain signt OF all the
passers-by.
The next morning found the pair
again at work. All day loungers at
the village hotel across the street saw
them going to and fro and scarcely
stopping to snatch bit of food. By
evening they had built upon the fiat
top of the black bell q structure that
needed only few more bits of grass to
finish it, But in their haste the little
housebuilders had not considered that
on Monday morning the bell would 60
to ringing again. The foreman OF the
factory, who was kind-bearted man,
was afterward heard to say that the
bell was not really needed, and that ne
would not have allowed them to be
disturbed if ne had known that they
were there; but neither he, nor the
boy whose duty it was to pull the bell
rope, knew that pair of robins had
taken possession, and at the first swing
of the great bell the nest fell of. 1t
appeared on examination that If lit
tie more mud had been used, and If 1t
bad had time to harden, so as to be-
come as solid as other nests that rob-
ms often build land perhaps if they
bad not worked on Sunday, the nest
on the bell would have remained IN

Mysterious Growth of the Mushroom.

One of the popular mysteries of
fungoid vegetable growths is the de-
velopment of the mushroom. Cues
tion the average Missouri farmer on
this point and he will tell You that
mushrooms never have seeds" and
that they ''spring up in a single
night" The ''springing up" part is
all right as far as the fungi's above.
ground development is concerned, but
as matter of fact the mushroom lies
for days, and in dry times for weeks,
lust under the surface, fully developed,
waiting for warm, damp night in or
der to properly make his debut in
open air. Then, too, they have seeds
(spores), and not a few of them either,
some species exhibiting as many as
10, 900, 900 in single agaric, which

The Tea Road.

Ke-gu, the halfway hating place on
the famous tea road between the
Chinese border town Ta-chien-h h and
the Thibetan capital, is the centre OF
the tea trade, and, accordingly, the
residence of numerous tea merchants.
It is the Chinese who chiefly bring the
tea here, to sell it to the Thibetan
merchants, who forward it to Lhassa.
The currency in this trade is the
Indian rupee, which, however, is often
dispensed with, and then the tea is
bartered by the Chinese for wool,
hides and furs, gold dust, mercury and
other Thibetan products, for importa-
ton into China. The tea branches
as we'll as leaves) is packed IN
pressed bricks, about fourteen inches
long, ten wide and four thick. Eight
of these bricks are sown in skin, and
a wax carries two skins. All
Thibetans drink tea. They boil it,
branches and all, in water, with lit
tie soda and salt, and before drinking
add butter, barley flower (which If
called tsampa) and dried native cheese.
The solid part of this mixture, when
merely moistened with little liquid
tea made up into hard balls, is called
ba, and forms the staple food o.
Thibet. r
The chief meat consumed is NUT
ton, upon which the black tent people
almost live. Sheep are cheap. In the
interior of the country they cost from
one rupee to two rupees. For winter
consumption, they are. killed early II

A Deer Among the Cattle.

While big herd of cattle, being
driven from the ranch to market, was
passing through the Snohomish
Valley, Wash, an immense deer, the
largest ever seen in those parts,
bounded out of the woods and joined
the drove. Partly because of the
difficulty of cutting out the animal
from the middle of the herd, where it
quickly worked its way, and partly
through curiosity as to what it would
dc, the cowboys did not modest it.
The deer remained quietly walking
with the herd for eight hours, and
finally entered into coral with the
cattle at Snohomish, where it was cap
tnred.

Riding Down q Wolf.

It has often been noticed in India
how fast a wolf travels by means OF a
lounging loping trot that is by no
means suggestive of speed. While one
gallops after it as hard as a good horse
can 60, the wolf pursued, never ap-
parently hurrying, lollops along at a
pace that equals that of the following
horse. I have heard it said that no
horseman ever rode wolf down; but
to this statement l must demur, mas
much as / have done this thing. Per-
haps my wolf was sick.
Be that rs it may, did, when out
pigeon-sticking in the Ganges country
over against Colgong, follow wolf,
and that wolf turned sharply when ]
closed with it, and the horse I rode Ia
rare good one) kicked it over with his
fore feet, and made the matter OF
spearing my wolf simplicity itself.
One of my companions of that day found
explanation of this performance in the
fact that I had ridden another mans
horse with my own spurs. Black

A Pumpkin Over Six Feet High.

With the building of the Burling-
ton and the NJ. K. & E. railroads
across Missouri Point, and the con-
struction of two great bridges, there
has come to many knowledge OF that
hitherto comparately unknown section
of country which has been a revela-
tion. For many years the people have
lived as though that region were still
the land of the pioneer, and the cabin
of logs or plain boards has been the
home of the majority. More lately
these have begun to give away to com
modious homes, better schoolhouses
have been erected, and an occasional
church may be found, while the news
paper has found it's way to many of
the inhabitants and books are COM
mon. One thing has been frequently
said of that country, and that is, sit
is the most fertile spot of land in the
United States" Out of sight from the
river on either side, back, hidden
among the trees and on the higher
ground of the Point, may be found
some Of the finest farms to be seen
anywhere. and the thrifty dwellers on
them raise some Of the most tremen-
dous crops on record. This land is
virgin soil. and has never known the
beneficial effects OF fertilizers. The
trees have been cleared away mostly
by the simple process Of girdling them
and leaving them to dry and then
burning them with the underbrush.
On this land there has been raised
corn sixteen and eighteen feet high
with long and heavy ears in plenty,
wheat as high as a mans head and
thick as the heaviest grass, oats in
enormous quantities, potatoes 80 plen-
'tiful that they became almost drug
in the markets accessible, and other
crops in proportion. As a specimen

place. In that case the little mother,
sitting on her five blue eggs, and, later
on, the hungry youngsters them
selves, might have been rocked in that
swinging, changing cradle, morning
and night and twice at noon. But on
that Monday morning a torn nest lay
upon the roof beneath the belfry, and
two robins were flying about, chirp-
ing disconsolately. Soon, however,
they took heart again, looked for a
better nesting place, and found it, not
far away, upon q wide, fiat beam in
one of the sheds. There their troubles
we're at an end until the little, big
eyed, hungry nestlings had pecked
their way out of their shells a few
weeks later. Our Animal Friends.
