Some Points About Wills.

Do you know that you cannot will
away your body; that a clause in Your
will giving your body after death to any
person or institution is not legally bind
ing? Your executors cannot be forced to
carry out your wishes, though they may
do so through Difference to your ex-
pressed preferences. 1t is also important
TO remember that three witnesses are
needed in devising real estate instead of
two, rs in bequeathing personal property.
''When q woman will, she will, de.
pend ont" says the proverb. But there
are SO many sharp turns and short
curves in the course of the law that
though a woman wills to will what she
will, how she will in nine cases out Of
ten she cannot make her will so that she
wills what she will as she wills to will.

Financial Affairs OF France.

The financial speech Of the ex-Prime
Minister NJ. Loubet, in the senate, is to
be posted, by order of that house, NIL
over France. There are some statements
in it worthy Of consideration. Thus, the
national debt is set down at 81, 200, O00,-
600. 1t also appears that the difficulty Of
making both ends meet has greatly in
creased since NJ. Meline secured the tri-
umph Of his system. The court Of audits
has discovered 211 irregularities in the
last budgetary account of money paid.
By irregularities it e embezzle-
ments, set down under the head Of "vire-
ments."
Among them figures the $500 spent
on behalf Of q minister for "cabs,"
and e640 q month for little "de-
jeuners" at Voisin's, where a min
lister Of justice entertained his friends.
The ''virements" ut the home office are
set down ut $3.50, those Of the war Of
flee Mt Gl, 1880, those Of the colonial Office
at GO, 900, those of the public works Of
fec at e2,375. When NJ. de Frcycinet
was war minister, the "virements" Of
his department amounted to about &C.,
900 q year. He, as minister Of pubic
works and war, swelled the national
debt more than any one else in power
since Theirs retirement. The redeem
able loans were an expcdient Of NJ. de
Freycinet to give employment to the
public works department. London

HALF A AGO.
Philadelphia Gentlemen Drank In . Way
to Astonish Their Descendants.

Philadelphia Gentlemen Drank In . Way
to Astonish Their Descendants.
Among Americans up to 1856 the use
and abuse Of strong drink were almost
universal, but IL certainly affected their
health less injuriously than at the pres
ent time. The worry and strain of mod
ern business and social life shatter
nerves now and lead to dram drinking
to repair them. On the contrary, most
of the excuses in the old times came
after % solid dinner, and three or four
hours were spent in rest and convivial-
ity, but the amount drank was enor-
nous. When the exchange was COM
pleted, in 1882, a dinner was given, and
there was some apprehension that the
wine would run ont, and q well known
broker on the committee expressed his
surprise, as the company had not aver
aged more than three bottles apiece.
This would be thought a very large al
lowance Of strong Madeira in these
times.
In 1853 the final audit Of the accounts
Of the United States bank was complet-
ed, and on behalf Of the government
James A. Bayard Of Delaware, John
M. Mason and q Kentucky gentleman
named Dukes appeared. It was a mere
formality, as the matter had been settled
ten years before. John Young acted as
clerk. The party met in the northwest
chamber of the bank building--now the
custom house-at IL o'clock. A bottle
Of brandy and six of Madeira were on
the table, and after a short inspection
Of papers the wine was opened, and by
l o'clock was drank. The day was
warm, and a bowl Of bishop was order
ed, and this was made by the servant
with the brandy and q flask of Curacao.
This was drank, and the three COM
mitteemen went to dine with Charles ].
Ingersoll about 8 O'Clock. They returned,
bringing u friend. A dozen Madeira
were ut hand, and smoking, drinking
and whist were in order until IL, when
the last bottle was drank, and then
Prosser, the cook, brought in cold ducks
and a mighty lobster salad. A gallon
bowl of brandy punch was made as con
ducive to digestion. A tumbler Of this
finished the clerk, who went to sleep
and was aroused at dayhrcak to drink q
cup Of coffee, and then all went down
the steps and walked away in the fresh
morning air, none the worse in appear
nee from the nights potations.
1t is apparent that in u life like this
It was tho survival Of the fittest. The
steady ones carried off the honors, but
govt, gravel and dropsy played havoc
with the others, and these complaints
were charged to port and Madeira by the
doctors, and so the habit Of drinking
claret and light wines came into fashion.
Gambling was almost universal, and
many fortunes Of old Philadelphians dis
appeared in this way.-Philadelphia

Ants sas Biters.

Ants are terrible fighters. They havo
very powerful jaws, considering the size
Of their bodies, and therefore their
method is by biting. They will bite one
another and hold ON with a wonderful
grip of the jaws, even after all their legs
have been bitten off by other ants.
Sometimes six or eight ants will be
clinging with a death hold to one
other, making apecuhar spectacle, some
with a leg gone and some with half the
body gone. One'singular fact is that the
grip Of an ants jaw is retained even
after the body has been bitten off and
nothing but the head remains. Elk

Ills Life,

CHICAGO, July 1.-THE body of the
man who was shot and killed by Po-
liceman Rosenthal in front of the
Auditorium has been identified as that
of Charles Gorman, who lived at the
Hotel Somerset, Twelfth and Wabash
emu From the laundry mark on
his shirt he was supposed to be G. Il.
Cole, but the linen vas borrowed be-
fore the shooting occurred, and his
real identity was established by the
mar who had befriended him. Mon
day afternoon German received a tel
egram from his wife In st. Paul, say
ing that his baby daughter had died
the night before, and urging him to
come to her. lie made every effort to
secure money TO take him where his
dead baby was, and after repeated
failures, in a moment Of desperation,
he attempted to rob Saloonkeeper Nc
Gloin, that he might have funds with
which to go to his wife.
G. Il. Cole, the mar who loaned Cor
man the linen and who identified his
body, is in charge of the dining room
of the Union League club. lie roomed
at the hotel with German and knew
him well. Monday night about @
o'clock German met Cole as the latter
was leaving the club house, and showed
him a telegram from his wife telling
him of the death of his child. He
tried to sell II large revolver to Cole,
but the latter did not nave the amount
necessary, SIS. Then the two men
tried to pawn the weapon, but could
get no more than So on it. German
then tried to trade it at the railroad
offices for n ticket to st. Paul, his
Efforts being unsuccessful.
The two men then went back to the
hotel. German was very uneasy, and
about Z o'clock said he must renew his
Efforts to get the money. He started
Town town and was not seen again by
Sole until his body was identified. In
Germans trunk were found letters of
recommendation from various bar
looms where he had been employed,
one of them being from the Grand Pa
.itic hotel in Chicago. All the testi-
n~onials spoke of him as a man of in
.eprity.
