Cases.

What promises to be an interesting
will contest will be heard in its first
chapter In the Guilford probate court
on December s, The contest is one ov-
err the will of the late John Beattie,
the well known quarryman What the
contest Is based on is not known, but
the fact the contest is brought by
Mrs Mary Beattie of Newport, the
second wife of John Beattie, and from
him divorced, and by their daughter,
Mrs. Emma Sullivan, also of Newport
r. l., would seem to give an indication
of the nature of the contest. Neither
mother nor daughter are remembered
in the instrument directing the dispo-
sition of the estate.
The will was presented III the Gull
ford probate court Thursday and re-
quest for continuance was made by
Messrs Alling, Webb and Morehouse,
representing Mrs. Mary Beattie and
Mrs. Emma Sullivan. They had been
summoned into the case the day pre-
ceding by a Newport attorney, who
represents the contestants primarily.
Messrs, Harrison and Zacher are the at
tVlIleyoN luT LIE eAGCulOI6. lHcy du-
nlitted that the notice was short and
made no opposition to a continuance.
The court took the view of 1t that no
harm could come from continuance,
and that the contestants We're enti-
tied to it inasmuch as they were not
ready to state their case to the court
on Thursday. December 8 was fixed
for the hearing.
1t is understood that the will, by its
express provisions leaves the bulk of
the estate, which is roughly estimated
at about 100000. in trust, after making
specific requests to the widow of the
testator residing at Leetes Island and
to daughter, Mrs. G. G. Sanborn, also
resident at that place. The large quar-
ries are to be operated as joint stock
company by the sons of the deceased
John Beattie, jr., of Newport, r. l., and
Frank, David, Peter and Thomas of
Leete's Island, no division to be made

of the property during the lifetime of
the sons.
1t is learned that more than 80 years
ago Mr.. Beattie was divorced from his
second wife, who now brings the con-
test She took with her their two minor
children. Mr.. Beattie paid certain
sum to the divorced wife, it is said, I'M
til his death. But the will which was
made last February makes no mention
of the two children by the divorced
wife, one of them being Mrs. Emma
Sullivan.

Charles Dickens delighted to tell sto-
ries Of John Forster. the writer and
editor with whom he was much associ-
ated. Mr. Forster had so peremptory
and so decisive a manner that ii i'm
pressed all who came in contact with
him. His servants were kept in per-
feet and almost abject submission to
his wishes. and yet he showed many
kindnesses to them. and they were
greatly attached to him.

A Sudden Introduction.

A Philadelphia paper tells q funny
story Of the blizzard days Of last win.
ter in that city. A certain Mr.. X. had
over his dining room a skylight which
was burdened with a great weight Of
snow, and early one evening he took q
snow shovel and went up to remove It.
He shoveled 1t off, and then it occurred
to him that he would perform the same
service for his next door neighbor,
whose dining room lay side by side
with his own, the construction Of the
two houses being alike.
The inmate Of the next house was a
worthy widow, whom Mr. X. had new
er met, but with whom his wife was
on calling terms.
Mr.. X. proceeded to position from
which he could, as he supposed, safely
shovel off the snow, but In doing so he
made false step and got on the sky
light. Crash went the glass, and down
through the aperture went Mr.. X.
1t CHANGED that his next door neigh
Dor was just at this time eating her
dinner Mr.. X. landed in sitting pos
ture in the middle Of her table, sur
rounded by snow, broken glass and
china, capsized dishes of food, and still
manfully brandishing his snow shovel.
The shovel told the story to the wild
ow. Although somewhat disconnected,
she quickly regained her composure,
recognized the neighbor whom she had
seen pass her door, and exclaimed, po-
litely:
"Oh, NJ. X, 1 am very glad you
have called! I've often heard Mrs. X
speak Of you"

The Laugh Wasn't on the BOY.

This genial old professor used to form
a very picturesque feature in the Edin-
burgh streets. He was wiry old pa
triarch, with handsome features and
hair falling in ringlets about his shout
ders. No one who had seen him could
possibly forget him. One day he was
accosted by very dirty little bootblack
with his "Shine your boots, STRIP The
professor was impressed by the filth
ness of the boys face.
II don't want shine, my lad" said
he. "But If you'll 60 and wash your
face I'll give you sixpence."
"a RIGHT, sir" was the lads reply.
Then he went over to neighboring
fountain and made his additions. Re-
turning, he held out his hand for the
money.
"Well, my lad" said the professor,
"you have earned your sixpence. Here

A Town Of Consumptives.

Forty years ago the inhabitants of
Mentone France, and neighborhood
were healthy, happy race of splendid
physique, to whom consumption was
absolutely unknown.
Then Mentone became the Mecca OF
the consumptive. The peasants left
their farms and their healthy lives to
wait on the wealthy invalids. Farm
ers wives and daughters became wash
erwomen, constantly handling clothing
impregnated with the germs Of con-
sumption. Thousands of consumptives
died there, impregnating the soil and
the water with the germs of their dis
ease.
AS result, the earth, air and water
Of Mentone are infested with the tuber-
Gle bacillus, and the once healthy peas
antry are consumptives almost to a
man and woman. No more complete
or startling proof Of the truth Of the
once derided germ theory Of disease
could we'll be imagined than this.

A Curious Ear.

The catfish uses hislungs as an organ
of hearing. The needless lung becomes
q closed sac filled with air and COM
monty known as the swim bladder. In
the catfish, as in the suckers, chubs
and most brook fish, the air bladder
is large and is connected by slender
tube, the remains Of the trachea, to the
oesophagus. At it's front it fits closely
to the vertebral column. The anterior
vertebrate are much enlarged, twisted
together, and through them passes a
chain of bones, which connects with the
hidden cavity of the air. The bladder
therefore assists the ear Of the catfish
as the tympanum and Its bones assist
the ear Of the higher animals. An ear
Of this sort can carry little range of
variety in sound. 1t probably gives
only the impression Of jars or disturb
ances in the water.-Popular Science
