behind them, carried tenderly by a

dead President, covered with the flag Of
the Union, and accompanied by an es-
cort Of soldiers who had been on duty

the little cortege passed down the street

Though there is no legal way by which

the public administrator that Clark
wanted his money to go to Miss Nellie
Ormond, of Boston, to whom he was en-

He and her brother had been compan-

DISAPPOINTED IN LOVE.

Lost Heir to a Large Utica Estate Be-
came a Miser-Hernit in Washington.
Ansel White, the lost heir to large
estate near Utica, N. Y, valued at sew
eral millions, was an eccentric person.
He went to Clallam county, Washing
ton, in the later sixties and squatted on
tract of government land. He was
thrifty, energetic and made money.
When times were hard and interest
high he frequently loaned to his neigh
bors small sums of money on good Sc
curity. In those days the nearest bank
was 100 miles distant. After promis-
ing loan he would ask the borrower
when he would have it on hand. It was
generally supposed by his neighbors
that he kept his money buried.
A vein of mystery always hung
around the old man, who was on the
shady side of seventy. Once in burst
of confidence he impaired the informa--
tion to a friend that he had wealthy
relatives living in the East, and fur
ther said that in early life he was dis
appointed in marriage and for that rea-
son he came out West and buried him
self in the wilderness. 1t seems that he
was engaged to marry pretty GIRL of
rich family, but few days prior to
the day set for the ceremony she cancel
ed the engagement and shortly after
ward was welded to man who years
before had betrayed Whites friendship
in some trivial incident. Though pos
sessed of comfortable annuity, with
the ultimate certainty of eventually be-
ing a three or four times millionaire,
White forfeited wealth, relatives and
friends and sought to forget the pain
full memories by mingling in the ex-
citement of the Pacific coast For
time he lived in California and then
drifted to Puget Sound. 1t was during
his residence here that he made and
Cancelled several wills. The will now
in existence made a neighbor's son.

Whites death, in 1888, he was seventy

THROUGH A BRICK.
You Can Blow Out Flame If Your
Lungs Are Stout.

You Can Blow Out Flame IF Your
Lungs Are Stout.
"You wouldn't have believed it pos
sible to blow out candle flame
through a brickbat," remarked a cele-
brated physicist, whose penchait is to
give scientific research practical bear
ing. 'It can be done, however, and it
illustrates the all-pervasive qualities of
air. Most rooms are largely ventilat-
ed through their walls, and the brick
and mortar are merely rudimentary
lungs, which take in and throw out the
atmosphere with little hindrance.
'You may try the experiment your
self. Place a candle on the other side
of your brick and use two tunnels, with
the flaring ends on the opposite sides of
the brickbat with the small end of one
in line with your mouth and the small
end of the other trained on the can
die flame. The least breath will make
the light flicker, and a hearty expira-
tion will extinguish it altogether. Try
it and see.''

Why So Many Fishing Vessels Are Lost

Why So Many Fishing Vessels Are Lost.
There is one class of vessels which is
most annoying to those who direct the
course of large steamers. These are
small fishing vessels. On the Grand
Banks of Newfoundland, on the coast
of Spain, and on the coasts of China
and Japan, big fleets of these little yes-
sells are found at all times. They show
no lights at night, preferrng to save
the expense of oil, and take their
chances of being sent to the bottom:
but when they see a big ship rushing
down upon them, they light torch and
flare it about. Often they pay for their
folly with their lives. The torch is seen
too late, or not seen at all, and the
great iron bow of the steamship crushes
into the frail little craft, perhaps cut
ting her clean in two; and the unhappy
fishermen sink into the foaming wake
of the churning propellers, leaving not
soul to tell their wives at home what
became of theIl.-St. Nicholas.
