mann. referring to the charge brought
against Millais' work of being mid

that with the exception of his pictures

people. That Millais was severe critic
of his own work appears from story

body which should be given to the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania to further the
study of dietic treatment. The surrogate
says that his body must be mummified,
but there is no law which can compel the
university to accept 1t. Another curious
will was an English will. in which the
testator said he wanted everything he
had to be of some use in the world, and
that after his death lenses for optical
purposes must be made out of certain
portions of his body, violin strings OF oth-
er portions and that the rest of his NOR
tal frame must be subllmated into .smelt-
ing salts. This VIII was probated and his
executors were ofdeIed 20 do all of these
things.
Another curious will case comes to my
mind. being that of man who was beau
tifully duped by his mouher-in-law. This
gentleman was intensely devoted TO his
wife, He used to cali her Dickey' as
pet name, and when she died he became
nearly insane. He grieyed for years, and
his mother-in-law took advantage of his
state and persuaded him to attend some
spiritualistc meetings with her. He was
absolutely skeptical about the various
manifestations. Finally the medium
gave him message from his wife. and
he was still skepdcai. But he kept at
tending the seances With his mother-in-
law, and one evening, when his mother
in-law wore a conspicuous breastpin at
her neck there suddenly flashed out from
Ii the word 'D!ckey' in brilliant letters.
Immediately the message followed Give
all of your property to your mother-in-
law. and ne hastily made will in her
favor This will was contested on the
ground that the testator was insane; but
it was sustained. | believe that If the
lawyers. instead of trying TO prove the
testator insane. had devoted their energy
to proving that he had been duped, the
will could have been overthfown.'
When asked if lawyer was necessary
to draw up a will. Prof. Reeves said:
by no means; but is advisable to
have one Frequently the making of his
own will by layman results in his dis
posing of his property directly contrary
TO his wishes: so for that reason it Is
better 90 go to a lawyer. Exactly what
do mean? Simply this. There are
many things that may lead a testator 10
want TO dispose of property differently
from what the law will permit. And if he
undertakes TO do this he may make
will that can be altogether or partly
overthrown On the whole, though, as ]
said at the outset, comparatively few
wills. indeed almost none, are over

Pin Scratch Causes Lockiaw

New York, Aug. H.--While Miss Jennie

Seventh Street, Long Island City, two

left knee with pin. After the pain wore
off Miss Devine paid no attention to the
mark. Last Wednesday morning she be-

malaria. The pin scratch had been for
gotten and her physician was not told
of it. The girls condition grew worse
during Wednesday and DR.. Barry. DR..

were called. They advised the removal of
the patient TO st. Johns Hospital On

for out-of-town members. Theater par

A considerable number of the American
Philatelic Association are millionaires
and have invested in their collections
thousands of dollars. Some single stamps
have cost their owners more than $1,000
each. These collections are kept in fire
proof vaults. Every time a government
makes new issue of stamps the demand
from collectors all over the world results
in the retirement of thousands of unused
stamps for which cIle various govern
ments will never be called upon TO fur
nish postal service. The collectors have
been of assistance TO the government of
this and other countries in the discovery
of counterfeits. When a two-cent pos
tage stamp was forged in Chicago not
long ago the collectors were the first to
report the counterfeits. Several years ago
f. B. Sterling, collector, of Trenton. y.
J., unearthed a big fraud upon the Gov
ernment in counterfeit internal revenue
beer stamps. He received $1,000 cash as
a reward, very practical result of the
careful study of the stamps coming into
his possession.
The latest incident of this sort has
been the discovery by a prominent firm
of stamp dealers in London of large guam
titles of counterfeit one-shilling stamps
in purchase made by them of govern
ment telegraph forms which bore the
stamps As, however. the issue was a
good many years old. though the firm
has called the attention of the British
inland revenue authorities to the case, 1t
does not seem likelyTthat the guilty par
ties can be traced.

An expert iu international law calls at
tention TO .fie fact that the United States
cannot be too cautious in insisting that
the Spanish plenipotentiaries delegated by
the Madrid governmental negotiate peace
with this country Should be legally en-
powered to treat by vote of the cortes
in accordance with article 55 of the Span
ish constitution The leading authorities
on international law are all united in de-
claring that ''if the power of a sovereign
or of government is limited By ground
law written or unwritten, a treaty cam
not override that constitution. No one
can lawfully exercise power which does
not of right belong to him. Thus under
constitutional forms, where the treaty
making power is placed in particular
hands, no others can exercise it. and
where ii is limited in extent 1t cannot be
lawfully exercised beyond that limita-
ton" Another universally accepted doc
trine of international law declares that
"a treaty in which one of the treaty
making powers unconstitutionally and un-
lawfully sacrifices the interests of the ma
ton which it represents has no binding
force" And again, "a treaty can never

To the day of his death Henry Clay was
fond of relating an incident that occnr-
red while he was at Ghent. in 1914,
member of the Anglo-American joint
peace commission. One morning Fred
erick Cara handed Mr. Clay newspaper
in which was an account Of the capture
OF Washington by the enemy. Cara was
Mr.. Clays servant. and he informed his
master that Mr.. Goufbourne, of the Brit
ish commission, had sent the paper with
his compliments The spirit of exultation
shown by the Englishman was somewhat
uncourteous, as Mr. Clay thought and be
resolved to retaliate. A point in the ne
gotiations which had been very much
pressed was pacification with the Indians.
which the American commissioners as
sured the British would necessarily fol-
low pacification with Great Britain. Then
Mr. Clay received several American
newspapers containing an account Of the
actual conclusion Of peace with some of
an account of the splendid naval victory
won at Lake Champlain. Mr.. Clay pro-
posed to the American commissioners
that The newspapers should be sent 10 the
British ostensibIy for the purpose of
showing that peace had been made. with
some of the Indians. but in reality to af-
ford them an opportunity of pursuing
the account of that victory. With the
concurrence of his colleagues he accord
ingly addressed an official note 10 the
British commissioners transmitting the
newspapers.
