Eccentric Testators.

Joseph Dalky takes the opportunity
afforded by his will of insulting his
son-in-law in terms which doubtless
had a pungency once, but which are
hardly comprehensive to the modern
reader: 81 give to my daughter, Ann
Spencer, a guinea for ring or any
other bauble she may like better; l give
to the lout, her husband, one penny to
buy him a lark whistle, and this legacy
1 give him as mark of my apprecia-
ton of his prowess and nice honor In
drawing his sword on me lat my own
table,, naked and unarmed as l was,
and he well fortified with custard."
A grewsome legacy is that of Philip
Thicknesse: 81 leave my right hand, to
be cut off after my death, to my son,
and l desire it may be sent to him in
hopes that such a sight may remind
him of his duty to God after having so
long abandoned the duty he owed to a
father who once affeetionately loved
him."
Another father seems apparently to
have begun his will with the determi-
nation of Furnishing an unruly son, but,
as the fairy stories say, all ends hap
PLY. We refer to the will of Richard
Crawshay, the founder of the famous
Welsh ironworks. 1t runs thus: ITO
my only son, who never would follow
my advice and has treated me rudely
in very many instances, instead OF
making him my executor and residuary
legatee (as till this day he was) | give
him f1OO, chambers Journal.

Batting Away Stone walls.

At first sight it would seem hardly
possible for bacteria to be concerned
IN the breaking down of a stone wall,
yet this is the case, according to OBJ
servations made in studying the cause
Of the decay of cement. The gradual
disintegration of the cement mortar
used in water supply reservoirs is one
of the serious troubles met with by
water engineers and trouble which
SO far they have not been able to avoid
with any measure of practical success.
Hitherto this action was supposed to
be the result of the solvent property of
carbonic acid and other mineral SUBJ
stances commonly present ! in water
supply. The cement gradually disin-
tegrates and becomes a kind of mud
which slowly detaches itself. But now
1t has been found this strange process
is due to the action of none other than
that baeterium known as the nutrify-
ing organism. An examination Of the
mud shows it to be teeming with these
organisms.

ISOLATION behind them the proposed amend
ments to the State Constitution reorgani-
zing the judiciary should stand a good
chance of passing the Legislature. On
the whole, it may be concluded that the
changes recommended by the Bar Associ-
alton represent the general sentiment of
the State Bar. The most important of
these proposed amendments to the lay
mind is that which provides for an indie
pendent Court of Errors, the members of
which shall not sit in any inferior tribunal.
The present system has Away seemed an
anomalous one, but hitherto the proverb-
ial conservatism of the bar has proved an
insurmountable barrier to any change.
Now that sentiment among lawyers has
finally crystalized in favor of an indepen-
dent court there is hope for the amend
ment -Neu0rk Neaos.

NEW JAPANESE MINISTER BE-
LIEvES CHINESE GOVERN
MENT NOT AT FAULT.

Chicago, July PA special to the
Tribune from San Francisco says:
Kogoro Taka11ira, the new Japanese
plenipotentiary to the United States, who
arrived on the setamer American Maru,
said Of the present situation in the east:
1t Us difficult to express an opinion
concerning the grave reports from China
for the reason tnat in spite of all the
rumors published, we have absolutely
no communication open with the district
involved and we cannot tell how much,
if any, of what we hear is reliable. -
IF the tragical events haNe--aetAalIy
occurred we must inquire how much iT-
huence the government troops of China
have over the insurgents before we can
fix the matter of responsibility. We have
no reason at present to believe the eni-
peror and the empress dowager have any
agency in the present trouble.
up to the present the attitude of the
Chinese government toward foreign pow
rs has been most friendly. Even among
the Chinese people there are certain man.
darins who are frankly friends of prog
ress and desirous of maintaining cordial
relations with the powers"
BY special command of the emperor
Mr.. Takahira during his few hours stay
in Hon olulu, made searching inquiry
into the recent labor troubles in the is
lands. He says the restrictions put on
the emigration of Japanese by the Japan
ese government are expected to last only
until the unsettled conditions caused by
annexation have passed.
