Wanted, a HoIogrnph Will.

A Canadian barrister is responsible for the following: One day a farmer came into his office and requested that a holograph will should be prepared for his signature. The lawyer began at once to explain terms but the tiller of the prairie, who prided himself not a little upon his legal knowledge, only grew angry. "Iwant a holograph will, be declared, "and I'm going to have it, he added in parenthesis. When the impossibility of his request was still pointed out he angrily stumped from the office shouting out "D-n iti If I can't have a holograph will, I'll blamed we'll die intestinep'
 Almost as funny was the tradesman who had recently been left some land. He came to the lawyer with instruo- tions for deed of transfer to be pre- pared in favor of himself. On being asked his reasons, he gave them thus: Don't feel sort of comfortable about that bit of country. I know how par tioular you lawyer gents are, and l thought maybe that if I signed n deed making over the property to myself no one would be able to touch it." When his application was refused, he went away in a rage, and subsequently, tried to bring an action against the lawyer, who, he imagined, was trying to de- fraud bim.-Oornhill Magazine.

Egxs From Australia

Not many years ago the possibility of shipping eggs from Australia with any likelihood of their reaching Eng land except in decomposed condition would have been ridiculed as utterly unworthy of consideration. Today the thing is not only being accomplished, but the eggs arrive in such first class condition that they pass as new laid. This has been rendered possible by the universal employment of refrigerating apparatus on shipboard. The eggs, while still perfectly fresh, are forwarded by the Australian poultry keepers to the cold store and are shipped to England at the time when eggs are scarce and consequently at their dearest. Many thousands of dozens, packed in boxes with cardboard divisions, filled up with dry pea husks, are now forwarded to this country from November to Jan- uary. In recent consignment the local price of the eggs at the time of shipping was 516d. per dozen, the freight and packing cost about Sd. per dozen, and they realized Is. Cd. per dozen retail on arrival at this side of the world.- Chambers Journal.

THE SlOANE'S TROUBLES.
Henry T. VIII Try a Hnbeas Corpus to Get His Children.

to Get His Children.
 New York. Jan. 25.-The World this morning says:
 The unhappy relations of Mir. and Mrs. Henry T. Sloane have at last reached a crisis.
 Papers have been drawn in a legal proceeding of very unusual natu9 be- tween man and wife.
 Accompanying these papers are affi- davits containing sensational charges. The contents of these affidavits could not by any possibility be published certainly not in full.
 "One thing, and only one, can prevent this extraordinary and most unfortu- nate climax in the affairs of Mir. and Mrs. Sloane. This is that Mrs. Sloane shall relinquish without going into court the custody of the two children young girls. All efforts by her friends, and by one in particular. have so far failed to induce her to take this course.
 Tt is ascertained that the legal pro- ceeding undertaken is an application for a writ of habeas corpus.
 Notwithstanding the inevitable publicity of such legal action,' said one of Mir. Sloane's friends. a publicity deprecated most strongly, you may be sure. not only by Mrs. Sloane's friends, especially by the 'one in particular" but by MT. Sloane himself, he has been compelled to this step by his determina- ton to remove his children from the home from which he himself has been forced to withdraw.
 Through no fault of his own he has been literally locked out of his own house-has given 1t up altogether. But he refuses absolutely to give up his children"

BIG FILIPINO ARMY.

AHutnaldo Said to Have Thirty
 Thousand Men Under Arms.
 Manila. Jan. 20, via Hongkong, Jan. 26.-The Filipinos of Caloocan and Ge- galangin, mistaking salutes exchanged between British and German warships Jan. IS, moved 3,000 men to the front in order of battle, covering the adjacent country, but they did not attack the American lines.
 Reports from the interior indicate that Aguinaldo's authority Is now gen. erally recognized. Every available male is being recruited, and arms depots are being established at San Fernandino, Union. Trinidad and other large towns. The surrounding country Is being levied upon for supplies, and the Filipino troops are living on the fat of the land, while the native villagers are compelled to subsist on rice.
 There Is some friction between the Filipino civil and military authorities. but they are united on the question of independence.
 The Filipino military authorities are convinced. they say, that the Ameri- cans will be unable to work effectively outside of Manila in the event of hos tilities, hence they feel confidence in the future.
 The Independencia publishes this dis patch. purporting to come from Malolos:
 "The Filipinos naturally suspect this new commission Is a new attempt to humbug. Both Dewey and Spencer Pratt promised us independence if the Filipino republic was stable. The Fill pinos are disillusioned. They believe the commission is a ruse to gain time till they have accumulated formidable forces. when America, abusing her strength. will begin a war to ratify her soyereignty"
