AN UP-TO-DATE WILL.
Ons TAAt was Inscribed On . Graph "a
phone IN the Makers Own
Voice.

One Of the wealthiest land proprie-
tors near Smolenski, in Russia,
died a few months ago. and after the
funeral his heirs and attorneys began
to look for his will. They fancied that
this task would be merely perfunctory
and that the document would be found
among the other family papers, but,
much to their surprise, they were un-
able to find the slightest trace of II.
Every room and article OF furniture in
the house was then carefully searched,
but the result was the same, and the
only conclusion at which the heirs
could arrive was either that no will
had ever been made or that if one had
been made il was destroyed before
their kinsman's death, says London
exchange,
The 'ssiug document, however, was
found few days ago and in the stran-
gcst place imaginable. a young man
was rambling through the house, and,
happening to see graphophone on
table in the library, he examined il to
see il it was in working order, and find
ing that it was he put record In it,
which he supposed was that of some
popular Russian song, What was his
amazement, however, when instead of
a song he heard the dead mans voice
slowly recite the words of the missing
will!
The heirs were promptly notified OF
this discovery and they lost no time in
carefully examining the record con-
tanning the will. 1t was found to be
fiawless. and the question then arose
! whether such q will would be deemed
valid by the courts or not. This ques'
tion is now being discussed in the SUI
preme court at st. Petersburg and the
case is interesting all lawyers who have
heard of it. Many think that the will
will be pronounced entirely valid, and
IL so il may become a common practice
for persons to use graphophones for the
purpose Of making their wills.

As she may be, notes her pale and pining
grandchild, and tells the mother THAT
child don't cat enough or else perhaps
what the child needs is plenty OF uour-
ishing food" She understands perfectly
that strength aud health depend on nour-
ishuent, but she makes no application
of the fact to herself. And yet her
teebleness, like that of the child, is prob
ably due to imperfect nutrition.
HOW srRRNTH IS MADE.
Food makes strength Just as much for
the old man and old woman as for the
baby in arms or the schoolboy. There's
no other way to get strength but from
food. But the important fact is that food
doesn't strengthen unless it is properly
digested and assimilated All the nour-
ing foods ever prepared won't be of any
use unless the nutrition is assimilated by
the body. You can't reckon the harvest
by the seed you put into the ground, but
only by so much of II as springs up to
make crop. Sometimes owing to insect
pests or adverse conditions OF soil only a
small part of the planting grows, and the
crop as a result is small. It's with eating
as with sowing. You can't reckon on
strength by the amount of food put into
the stomach, but only upon that part of
it which is converted into nutrition and
is sssimilated. Just as the conditions Of
the soil or the work of pests prevents
the raising of half a crop, so a diseased
condition of the stomach and its allied
organs of digestion and nutrition will
permit only part OF the nutrition to be
extracted from food. and the body, so to
speak, reaps half crop OF nutrition in
stead Of a full crop. Half nourished
means half strong The farmer meets
the loss OF crop in poor land by strength
euing it, enrichiug it By fertilizers. He
fights the pests and drives them out.
Why not treat the weak stomach in
the same strengthen it, and cure
tine diseases that prevent nutrition

IOOd Old Times and

old people live chiefly in the past The
good old times they talk OF were the
good yonHg times they enjoyed in youth
They live over again the days OF sleigh

huskings, and sigh for the good old days.
They live in the past because the present
is not life, but merely existence. They
feel weak, feeble, incapable of exercise,
and are Indifferent to pleasure

ORIGIN OF NORMAL SCHOOLS.

Contrary to general belief the normal
school is not of English or American
origin, writes Francis b. Palmer in the
current number of Success. Its begin
ming dates beyond the Revolution. Its
father was Jean Baptiste de la Sale,
who died in l719, and was canonized in
May, 1900. La Sale was a priest and
dignitary in the cathedral at Rome.
He had enjoyed the best advantages
of an education, but his heart was
moved when he saw the youth of his
city growing up In ignorance and vice.
He sought to establish schools for
them, but found that there was no cap
able teachers. To supply instructors
band of young men into his own house,
where he supported and trained them
at his own expense. The work soon
outgrew these accommodations, and,
about 1855, with the aid of benevolent
friends, he esta bished a normal school
to be devoted to training teachers for
elementary schools.
A few years before Demia, a priest
of Lyons, performed a similar service,
but soon after his death, the enter
prise failed. La Sale gave up his can
onry, with its honors and liberal in
come, to devste himself to his school,
BY his self-sacrifice his school became
very successful. and established a not
able system of education; but after
his death, nothing more was heard OF
Independent normal schools in France
for nearly century.

DROWNED INLAKEL LODORE
Daniel Meredith, of Bromley Avenue,
Met Death While in Bathing.
Body Not Yet Recovered.

Daniel Meredith, a boy 16 years OF
age and the son of Mr.. and Mrs. John
Meredith, of North Bromley avenue,
was drowned in Lake Lodore yesterday
afternoon.
About o'clock he went out in a boat
with another West Scranton boy. John
Edginton. They rowed about half a
mile up the lake, landed and prepared
to go in bathing. Edgnton is a fairly
good swimmer but Meredith was not.
They pushed the boat off a short dis
tance from the shore and Edginton,
telling Meredith to wait until he ascer-
tanned the depth of the water. dove in.
AS he came up to the surface he heard
a splash, and when he got the water
out of his eyes. discovered that Mere
dith was not in the boat.
The splash indicated to him that
Meredith dove in, and he waited for
him to come up out of the water, but
Meredith never appeared.
According to Edginton's story. after
Meredith entered the water he did not
again come to the surface. After wait
ing for a time for his companion, Ed
sinton became alarmed, and reported
the drowning. Several young men at
once volunteered their services AS
divers, and spent the remainder Of the
afternoon in vain endeavor to locate
the body. Graphing hooks were OBJ
tanned and these were also used, but
with no better success than had at
tended the efforts of the divers.
Young Meredith was student at the
High school last year and was one of
The Tribune's force of carriers. He
was a bright, manly fellow and highly
regarded by all who knew him. He is
the fourth member of the Meredith
family who have died within three
years.
The boy went over to Lodore in the
morning with his sister on the Grocers'
excursion. The young woman was
