Would the death of one of the admins

In what way?-Nice.
The death of an administrator would
postpone the final settlement considerably;
the death of an heir need not postpone it
necessarily. The remainder is always liable
to be lost by theft; the only thing to do is
to choose honest persons to handle it.
During the settlement, however, the estate
is in the hands of the court, so that a death
would not relax the courts power; it would
merely delay matters.
/ read that the United States is the only
country in the world that has no national
holidays. Now the postmaster general, in
his instructions TO the postmasters through
out the United States says as follows
You may observe as holidays New Years
Christmas, Thanksgiving, Labor day,
Washingtons birthday, Fourth of July and
Decoration day. and such other days as
may be declared holidays by the Presidents
riOuS States" Can you tell me one State
in the Union in which the United States
courts, the national banks and the Post
office Department observe less than four Of
the above named holidays established by
custom or law? Or will you give me what
you consider national holidays observed in
the United States?-S. S. J.
You are confused in terms. national
holiday is one observed through compliance
with the Nations laws, and our glorious
Nation hasn't passed such laws, leaving it
for the States to do or not, as suits them.
If all the States had laws setting apart
one day as a legal holiday that might be
considered a national holiday, perhaps, but
they haven't, though Christmas and the
Fourth of July come pretty near it, Min
nesota being the only State where laws are
lacking.

Advance of the Motor vehicle.

Motor vehicles (automotives is the
name recommended for them) have be-
gun to be matter for serious reflection
in England. Major Flood Page, who
lectured about them the other day be-
fore the London chamber of commerce,
speculated as to the results of their intro
duction and named as among the indus
tries that would be affected were petro-
leum, secondary battery manufacturers,
mechanical engineers and allied trades;
coach, car, wagon and carriage builders
and allied trades; agriculture in many
branches, railway companies and, last
by by no means least, the war depart
ment of every country in the world.
He expects them as they grow common
to interfere more or less with trades
connected with omnibuses, cabs and
horses, but to provide work for more
men than they displace, just as railways
did when they drove out coaches
He believes that in the country dis
tricts of England they will do what
canals have done in Holland and make
communication SO easy that the rush of
perishable produce to market will be
greatly quickened and increased They
will change the whole face of war, he
thinks, and be used to move guns and
do all transport work.
In Paris automotives are in use; in
London they are in sight; in New York
they are still only in prospect. An au-
tomotive fire truck, to be run by COM
pressed air gas engine, has been devised
by Brooklyn man and has come so
near real existence as to have it's picture
in the newspapers. 1t is terrific look
