WILLS ARE EASILY BROKEN.
Will Remain Intact Through
. Legal Contest.

Among the legal fraternity there is
considerable admiration for a piece
of verse entitled THE Jolly Testator
Who Makes His Own Will" To them
the humCr Of the lines is perfectly
apparent, but they seemingly forget
that will drawn by skilled prac-
titioner is often equally defective.
II is proverbial, says the San Fran
cisco Argonaut, that will made by a
lawyer seeking todcvise his own prop
erty will not stand in the courts PRO-
vided the property is worth dragging
into litigation. Nor is the will of a
rich man, drawn by the most skilled
attorneys, any more valuable. Six
years ago James G. Fair died, leaving
a will that had been drawn with the
utmost care to meet his wishes. The
estate is still in litigation, and it is
an open question whether the will is
to be held good or not.
The most important part Of the
deed is what has become famous as
the trust clause passing the prop
erty into the hands of trustees until
the death of the three children. In
the meantime the three were TO share
the income, amounting to $4,000 n
month. equally between them.
Charles l.. Fair has only life inter
est in this income. tho two daughters
and their heirs being made residuary
legatees. Upon the death OF Charles
his wife and chilren are to receive
nothing under the trust clause. The
validity of this clause is not under
consideration in the supreme court.
and until il is decided none of the
children will accept any of the in
come. because such acceptance would
be equivalent to an acknowledgment
of the validity of the trust. The ac-
cumulated income now amounts to
more than $1,000. 900. one-third of
which belongs to Charles. Should the
trust clause be declared valid by the
supreme cour. he will receive only
one-ihird of the income during his
lifetime. There is an opportunity
for him to realize mere than this
amount Immediately. however, 1t is
reported that certain insurance COM
panies are prepared TO pay him be-
tween $4,000. 900 and ss,00O.O0 in cash
for his interest In the estate.

now THE WHIST FACE.
Intense Expression Showing More
Coaaonly AaoaG Women
Who Play the Gaas.

We have all sorts OF faces. all va
rieties of countenances. that get their
recognized expressions from close ap-
plication to some variety of strain
ing employment. Now we have "the
whist face" to add to the list. 1t is
showing itself among the women. and
comes from the whist club habit.
which is rapidly growing. showing its
strength not only at night, but in the
afternoons. and even in the mornings,
associated with tea and waters, choc-
olate and bon-bons, says the New
York Herald.
One expression of the whist face,
though it is sad, and is told with an
effort, is age. The women may shud-
der at the thought, but the fact re-
mains. Intense thought and daily
racking the memory TO remember
what cards have been played cannot
but deepen the face lines and hasten
what heretofore the women have left
for time to accomplish without their
permission.
far-away look. accompanied by arched
lines on the forehead, suddenly
changing to an expression of inward
contemplation, associated with a
Tightening of the lips. These express
sions come from an acrobatic mind
under training that consists in leap
ing from the first lead, jump by jump,
over each successive play, to. the ulti-
mate effect of the next play that
must be made, while keeping the men
tai eve on the accepted rules, not neg
lecting to observe and respond to sig
nails.
Nature can recover from this sort
of thing when occasionally indulged
in, but when it becomes a habit,
practiced almost daily. and some
tim es for two or more sessions day,
the expression becomes fixed, and fol-
lows the wearer. no matter what her
thought or occupation may be at the
time.

The Cost of Registering Mail.

Many persons used to refuse to avail
themselves of the privilege of register
ing their letters on the ground that to
do so was to advertise the fact that a
missive was worth stealing, while if it
were actually stolen or lost, the Govern
ment would pay no compensation to
the loser. Two years ago an appropria-
ton of $4,000 was made to provide for
an insurance fund. This amount had
been asked for by the Postofflce De
partment in the belief that 1t would
not much more than cover the indem-
mites demanded i'll a year. The De
partment was agreeably surprised,
when, at the end of the first twelve
month, only S154.O3 was found to have
been paid out on This account. Thus it
appears that the adoption of this sys-
tenn of insurance has cost the Govern
ment very little, while encouraging
many people to register their letters
and packages.

ladies of San Francisco addicted to gam
bling?" was the query that stirred up
little hornets nest, and must have
caused a bee to buzz in somebody's
bonnet from the connection it raised.
Some of the guests were most emphatic
in their denials, while others admitted
that gambling among women existed
to- some extent, as far as card parties
were concerned, but that those who in
dulged in the pastime usually played
with their husbands and other guests,
and the amount put up was only small,
and not for the value of the stake but
to keep up the interest and give them
an incentive to do their best playing.
Others stated that at every card pa,..y
all the guests played with the hope of
winning the little gift put up as re-
ward for the winner of the game, as
well as for the pleasure they took in
playing cards, but they did not con-
slider that gambling. The gift was
never of any great value, but it was an
incentive to the players to carry off the
trophy if they had been slkillful and
clever enough to win the game. Many
of the guests were card-players and
they didn't enjoy the light in which
their favorite pastime was looked upon.
Still the unwelcome truth was forced
upon them that gambling with cards
was INDUCED in, but comforted them
selves with the fact that the pastime of
card-playing could be abused like every
thing else and in itself was not an evil.
Some of the guests opened their eyes in
wonder, however, when the truth was
revealed that there was more than one
quiet little club existing where the
members, composed of several husbands
and wives, met regularly once week
and played cards until 5 o'clock in the
morning, and the stakes amounted to
from one to five hundred dollars at
every meeting of this "chosen few"
The losers were not always the most
amiable people to meet next day, but
their friends never suspicioned the
cause.

BRIEF REVIEW.
Capture of a California Condor.

One of the rarest birds known to sci
ence was captured by the Sandberg
brothers at their stock ranch near Nee
mach, Kern county, on the edge of the
desert. The bird was the Pseudagry-
plus Californianus, otherwise, among
plain people, the California condor. 1t
had gorged itself on the carcass of a
COW and when seen could not fly, prov
ing an easy victim. The specimen is a
very large bird, the spread of its wings
being nearly ten feet. In color it is a
grayish black, slightly whitlsh at the
tail. There is a broad white streak
under the wings. The head carries a
bunch of fine black feathers, but the
neck is bare except at the base, where
there is a ruff1e of black feathers. The
California condor, because of its scarcity,
is very valuable, the eggs even being
worth about $1,000 apiece.

Earliest Bank Note,

g.. In the show cases devoted to exhibits
of early printing from Japan and China
the British Museum authorities have
just placed an interesting addition-a
Chinese bank note issued during the
reign of the Emperor Hung-wu, A. D.
136S-1369. This is the earliest specimen
of bank note known to exist in any
country, and IS 800 years earlier than
the establishment at Stockholm of the
first European bank that issued notes.
About eighteen inches in length and
half that in width, it is curious look
ing document.

The Chinese almanac is the monopoly
of the Emperor, none other being al
lowed within his dominions. No Chiua-
man deems his household complete
without copy of this unique docu-
ment, on account of the wonderful in
formation as to the lucky and unlucky
days which it contains. AS the esti-
mate population of China is something
like 400,000,000 souls, it wonld seem
that, even if monopoly were worth
retaining, it is the Chinese almanac.
