Queer Willis

A Russian who died in Odessa last
year left 100000 Of rnhles to his four
nieces but demanded that, previous to
receiving the money, they should work
for fifteen months either as chamber
maids, washcrw0men or farm servants;
this in his opinion being salutary
discipline likely to chasten any foolish
pride they might be tempted to foster
in their minds. A Sussex publican
took an odd revenge on nagging wife
whose sharp tongue had given him
many bad quarter of an hour while
he lived. On his death she found that
to receive any benefit from his will she
must walk barefooted to the market
place each time the anniversary Of his
death repeated itself. Holding a can
die in her hand, she was there to read
paper confessing her unseemly bs-
havior to her husband during his lie
and stating that had her tongue been
shorter her husbands days would in
all probability have been longer. BY
refusing to comply with these terms
she had to be satisfied with $50 a year
to keep her off the parish" The re-
strictions imposd on widows and other.
legatees with regard to matrimony are
often arbitrary and sometimes smack.
of cruelty. A husband, in one case re-
ported recently, left his widow an an
nual income of fl,00O, which was to be-
reduced to $500 in the event of the
lady marrying again. Another reiuc-i
ton OF 5000 was to be made on tnes
birth Of the first child of the second
marriage, and every additional child
was to involve the further loss of fl0Vi
a year.-Chambers' Journal.

VOYAGE of the Fran.

London, Aug. ga dispatch from,
Tromsoe, signed by DR.. Nansen, gives
Capt. Sverdrup's account Of the voyage
of the Fran after Dr.. Nansen left the
boat
The dispatch says: The ice pressure
was never as severe as upon several
occasions before Dr.. Nansen left us,
during June, 1896. We were regularly
exposed, however, to violent pressures,
caused by the changing spring tide
The Fran was once or twice lifted
from six to nine feet. Her bottom be-
came visible as it rested on the ice. So
little effect did this have on the Fram's d
timbers that the men continued theil|
slumberings undisturbed. An easier
arctic exploring expedition one could
hardly imagine. The principal work
was to take regular observations, sleep
and eat. The health of the men was
perfect during The entire expedition.
There was not sign of scurvy appar-
ent among any of the men. When all
efforts to advance the boat through
the ice by the force of steam or a pro-
cess of warping failed, it was found
that gun cotton mines proved the best
means Of shattering the ice. AS rule
very high ice flows prevailed, so ex7
tensive that their termination could
not be described even by the tele1
scopes.
Often it looked like hopeless task
breaking our way out of the ice tlo4
by a foot, but with the liberal use
explosives, and owing to the peculia
construction of our boat, we finall]
succeeded"

A significant example Of the change
of opinion that may be produced even
in anarchists by change of position
has occurred in Australia. The work
men in mine demanded an equal d.
vision OF its profits. The owners re-
sisted the demand. Not long after,
the mine being apparently exhausted,
the owners abandoned the claim. 1t
was taken by the disNfected workmen,
who opened it up with sudden and
great success. The profits were divided
equally among them, and they invited
public attention to the justice and lib
crafty Of their action. Soon, however,
they were obliged to hire laborers, who
in their turn demanded an equal share
with the present owners in the profits
OF the mine. The demand was vigor-
ously resisted and they were driven off
by bayonets, the sometime communists
calling in the military to defend their
rights. Put yourself in his place" is
a maxim that can be righteously con-
sidered so as to justly influence both
the capitalist and the laborer.

The governing body Of an important
ecclesiastical organization-the United
Norwegian Lutheran Church of Amer.
ica-has spoken emphatically in favor
of the gradual introduction of the Eng
]si language in all it's religious serv-
ices. Necessity was frankly put forth
as the reason for this movement. "To
continue in prosperity, the church must
maintain its hold upon the young. To
do this, 1t must conduct its services
in the language of the young Ameri-
cans of Scandinavian descent" In
yielding thus gracefully to an impera-
tive demand of the times, this body
has displayed devotion to its religious
principles and an intelligent spirit Of
