A queer will case has just been de-
cided by the courts in Minnesota. The
witnesses to the instrument had
stepped through doorway into 4
room adjoining that in which the
testator lay at the time of the signing
of the WILL and had affixed their sig
natures at c table about ten feet
from the testator, but just out OF his
sight. 1t was testified, however, that
he was sitting on the side of his bed
at the time, and could have seen the
witnesses by stepping forward two
or three feet. The attestation and
subscription of the will under these
circumstances were sustained.

Now that rural free delivery is no
longer regarded as an experiment, but
has been established as a permanent
enterprise, it is time for the Postofiice
Department to take up the question
of increased compensation for the car
riers. The pay of this class of en-
ployes is now $500 year, for which
the carrier must provide horse and
wagon. The daily service Except
Sundays is a twenty-mile drive, which
occupies an average of six consecu-
tive hours. Whatever may be the de-
cision as to the amount Of the pay,
there is no reason why the Tonthly
check should not be sent promptly. 1t
has become the custom Of the Gov
ernment to remain full month in
arrears.

Wholesale Perjury in Court.

At the recent meeting of the Iowa
Bar Association President Mccarthy
made some very startling charges as
to the prevalence of false testimony
in courts of the present day. He
said: where is there q lawyer who
has not seen guilty criminal pass
out of the court room acquitted and
free because of perjured testimony?
What one of us has not seen rights
of persons and Of property sacrificed
and trampled under foot, presumably
under due forms of law, but really
and truly by the use of corrupt, false
and sometimes purchased testimony?
These are the things that beget dis
trust and disrespect for the courts and
for verdicts and for our boasted forms
of laws. These are the things that
produce anarchy, lynching. and invite
just contempt for, as well as lack
of confidence in, the tribunals called
courts Of justice"
One remedy, he thought, was to
make oaths more impressive. Oaths
should be administered solemnly by
the Judge, he said; and the judge
should take frequent occasions to i'm
press on witnesses the severity Of
punishment for perjury. He thought
oaths of officials to do their dnty
should be abolished, and that in no
case should they be allowed to be
taken lightly.

thing to be done he would think of
some little scheme to do it better
and quicker than was possible in the
ordinary way, something that would
enable him, further, to do the job
without much work himself, and that
he would hustle around lively to
make the scheme do what he planned
1t should"
In these few lines there are summed

APlea For Single Beds.

Two in a bed IS the usual custom OF
sleeping, in the United States at least,
and also in Canada and England. But
in German and France, says Good
Housekeeping, single beds are the
rule. The latter plan is more health
full and comfortable. 1t is gradually
coming into use in this country.
Single beds involve more linen, more
work in making beds and more wash
ing, but / never knew a family to re-
turn to the old plan after once giving
single beds n fair trial. Especially in
summer is the single bed to be pre-
ferred, or even sleeping on the floor,
to two in n bed. Many families de-
clare they never knew what comfort
was, during the hot summer nights,
until they adopted the single beds.
l might add word Of protest against
allowing babies or young children to
sleep with old people. The latter GER
tainly draw upon the vitality of the
former. This is probably true as be-
tween any bedfellows one Of whom
is sickly or less strong than the other.
Consumption and other diseases have
often been communicated from one
bedfelow to another.

And / serve them well l ween,
The hands that hold me are honest hands
Be they ever so gnarled and lean
Oh. birth and position are naught to me
If proud. they must earn my scorn-
For l set them free, under Gods decree,
When the world was newly born.

With truer tone than the trampet's

Or the roll of drum. or the shrill of fife
A-swish, a-swish,-:'ti tale of Life.
I bring to the peasant his homely food,
To the prince his viands and wine,
The glittering stone and the saffron gold
l wrest from the grudging mine;
But, little / care for these tawdry things,
And my kindliest gift to toll
Is the joy that wings and the health that
springs
From the grasp of the grateful soil.
Aswish, a-swish-'tis the song sing
With truer tone than the trTmpet's s
ring,
Or the roll Of drum, or the shrill of fife
A-swish, a-swish,-'tis tale of Life.
o, well for the world that my husky voice
Grows louder from day to day;
o i'll for the kingdom that melts me down
To boom in the deadly fray;
And woe to the ruler who hears me groan
Meath a burden of grievous wrong,
For often alone, have I wrecked throne
With the shrek of my angry song!
A-swish, a-swish-'tis the song I sing
With a truer tone than the trumpet's

Or the roll of drum, or tile shrll of fife
A-swish, a.swish, its tale Of Life.

Harmony Below Stairs.

Quite craze has made its appear.
ance in the servants halls of London
houses for mandolins, says the London
Express, and very expert performers
on the tinllling instruments are to be
found below stairs. A banjo or two
is sometimes added to give depth to
the other instruments when both
kinds are played by a party Of do
mestics, the footmen twanging the 10
and the housemaids the more feminine
mandolin.
In middle-class London homes,
where only two or three servants
are kept, the mandolin is also popular.
1t is not q very expensive instrument
to buy, and failing the possession of
a plano, which many servants can
play, but few have at their command,
it has distinct merits. Provocative

Sins of Over-Nutrition.

To overload the stomach with food
is not less unhealthy thai to deluge
it with beverages; he more nutritious
the food the more hazardous are the
consequences when excess is habitual.
or all the sins of nutrition, the i'm
moderate use of meat is certainly the
most grevious. 1t gives to the body
in form that is favorable for easy
assimilation the albumen that is alb
solutely necessary to life, and hence
the earliest effect of its excessive use
must be to surcharge the body with
nutrients. The chief point here is the
critical examination OF what is called
hunger. Many persons believe that
any and every sensation of hunger
must be satisfied Immediately, but this
is great mistake. An equally great,
II not worse, mistake is the opinion
that one must eat until sense of
safety arises. Excessive nutrition in
jures the mental capabilities also. OF

Senator Daniel, of Virginia, lives in
very modest style in Washington. He
cannot afford to spend much money,
because everything he gets goes to-
ward the payment Of his fathers
debts. Daniel has spent thirty years
paying off these debts, and it will
probably be a life work. His father
was Judge William Daniel, of Lynch
burg. He was considered well-to-do.
but when he died it was found that
his fortune had been swept away in
