Nothing New.

Verify there is nothing new under the
sun! Who would ever have suspected
that the 'at home" day of the Nine
teenth century matron is only a revival
of an old custom? | should certainly
have supposed that this method of gath
ering together ones friends and ac-
quaintances was quite modern fashion;
but l find, on the contrary, that it was
the custom for the ladies of Queen
Anne's time to be cat home" once a
week to their friends of both sexes, and
that they called this having "a day.
just as we do. Several ladies naturally
had the same day" and among the ex-
Quisites it was the smart thing to get
to as many houses as possible in the
afternoon.
From the fourth volume of "Social
England" it is learned that the ''sweet
girl graduate" idea dates back to this
same period, SO, as history repeats itself,
we are practically going again over
the same ground as our Queen Anne
ancestors. It was, it seems, in 1854,
that proposal was set on foot for the
establishment of a college for women,
who at this time were most lamentably
ignorant. The suggestion came from a
woman, who was evidently GirtOn girl
born out of due season; but the scheme
was strongly opposed by, Bishop Burnett,
who, however, had excellent educational
crotchets of his own for boys, which las
his tutor) he practiced on the little Duke
of Gloucester. The young women Wran-
glers of today and the society dame
are both in their way inclined to fancy
themselves very superior; but, after all,
we see that we have not got SO much
''forrarder'' in ideas than these ladies
of couple Of centuries ago.

HAS KEGS OF GOLD.

by the Handful.

A New Jersey Farm Hand Scatters Gold
by the Handful.
Charles Balvanz has for some time
been employed as farm hand by Ru-
dolph May, near Franklin, N J. On
Christmas day Balvanz said to several
young men whom he met in a saloon:
Il have three kegs of gold buried,
and if you will be patient until New
Years day, [ will make you and the
whole town happy"
Monday morning BalvanZ went away,
but no one knows where, and late
Wednesday afternoon he reappeared and
created surprise by his lavish expenditure
of gold coin. He went to all the public
houses and ''set them up for the house
two or three times, paying for the drinks
and cigars with gold pieces. He created
lager by the key, cigars by the box, and
scattering them right and left
The news spread quickly, and about
o'clock BalvanZ, was surrounded by
a throng of people. AS he went through
the streets he occasionally stopped to
harangue the crowd and throw coin
About 8 o'clock he threw double hand
full of gold coin into the crowd, and
wished all Happy New Year. He then
turned and walked in the direction of
Passaic The crowd followed for some
distance, and gradually thinned out
when the man. said he would not un-
cover his wealth again until twelve
months had rolled around.
Balvanz was back to work on the farm
yesterday morning, as good-natured as
ever. He told acquaintance to watch
him. as he has gold for next New Years.

Remarkable Wyoming Spring.

tie and horses are very fond, After
once partaking of the grass they will
positively refuse to drink any water save

is salt and the owner@ofs the. spring says
it is soda water. Other persons who

freeze, she began lamenting that she
could not play golf on ice II hear they
are doing it at Fits country place."
said She, mentioning the nickname of a
girl we'll known in society, ''and l don't
see why | can't do the same
Straightway she had her landscape
gardeners set to work to make a golf
link upon the ice. The lake was u
smooth, round sheet, and the course
was to lay around it. The first obstacle
planned was mound of ice. This was
made by packing snow upon the crust
of the ice and pouring water upon it.
The next obstacle was a miniature falls,
with icebergs and icicles. This the gar
dener had his men make by pouring
water slowly down upon the ice, letting
it freeze in nid-air as it would. After
many tubs of water had been poured,
the ice took on the appearance of
frozen falls.
In playing golf upon the ice. where
obstacles have been placed, the skill of
just hard enough to lift it over the
obstacle. He then skates around it and
finds his ball upon the other side. This
would be simple enough if he were sure
of lifting the ball over the obstruction.
But he can only loft with his full
strength and then skate around. He
dare not wait, or the ball will have
gone mile ahead of him over the
frozen surface, and hundred feet past
the tee, which is just the other side of
the obstacle.
There will'-have to be new code of
golf instructions written for those who
golf upon the ice, because the summer
golfng is different in everything but
principle. But that will soon be done,
as several young men who have fallen
in love with the sport are at work
upon it. Harry Germaine.

JAMES G. FAIRS MONEY.
Seven Minor Legatees to be Gathered IL
Before dividing the Estate.

Seven Minor Legatees to be Gathered In
Before dividing the Estate.
The distribution of the millions of dol
lars left by the late James G. Fair with
in a very short period of time is now
a well-assured fact, says the San Fran
cisco Call.
Aside from the direct heirs there are
some fifty-six collateral heirs and other
legatees who have had to be attended to
so as to prevent tedious and expensive
litigation.
Even the direct heirs at first had griev-
ances, imaginary or otherwise, which
have been wiped out, and now they are
on such an amicable standing that they
have decided to at first gather in all out
side claims and to then cut up the late
Iex-senator's vast wealth according to
their ideas.
So as to bring the complexity of the
case into nutshell that it might better
be dealt with Attorney John A. Percy
placed himself in communication with
the thirty-six adult heirs resident in
Iowa, comprising the brothers and sisters
of the deceased millionaire and their
adult children. They rested their claims
with him and a settlement was speedily
reached by which the $64OOOO aggregate
legacies in the will was Immediately paid
over; also about 100000 more for in
terest and as an inducement to some of
the heirs who felt they had not been
properly recognized
Thirteen more minor heirs. also in To-
wa, were made wards of Attorney Percy
last Tuesday in the probate court and
their aggregate claims, amounting to
about 100000, will soon follow the same
line of settlement as in the cases of the
adults.
This leaves seven more minor heirs,
five of whom are in the East and two in
San Jose. AS soon as they are gathered
in the fold the direct heirs will divide the
vast estate on the lines drawn in the
will.
The trustees, under the will of the
dead millionaire, will of course maintain
their position so long as they are support
ed by the courts. They have shown no
disposition of abandoning their trust.
