QUEER WILLS OF RICH MEN.
Some Extraordinary requests That Havo
Passed Into History.

II does not necessarily follow that
because man has been shrewd enough
to amass a great fortune he is wise
enough to dispose Of it in a sensible
manner. The records Of the probate
courts show that beQuests fraught with
onerous, even impossible, conditions
are not uncommon. 1t is as though
the testator, resenting the scramble for
his property which he foresees VIII fol-
low his death, desires to make the lot
Of his heirs as hard as possible.
Within the last few months there
have been several of these eccentric
Wills. A brother left his sister $685.

A curious evidence Of the foresight
of Benjamin. Franklin is furnished by
one of the items Of his will. A small

More singular even than any of
these odd beQuests was the obligation
that Lord Butte imposed on his heirs.
AS he lay dying he expressed the wish
that his heart should be taken to the
holy land and buried there, adding that
unless this was done his relatives
would never rest happy in possession OF
his estate. So strong was this appeal
that the order was carried out to the
letter.

In a Fifth Avenue Stage.

A. young lady hailed the Fifth ave-
nue. stage at Twenty-ninth street, and
was about to climb in, when a man,
coming from the opposite side Of
the street, pushed in ahead of her.
After he and his cane, which he stuck
out belligerently behind him, We're
safely in, she followed.
There was just enough space remain
ing for two, and he did his best to oc-
cupy it all, but at a murmured request
was forced to withdraw to one side.
The man produced a nickel from his
pocket. He sat nearest the box, an
old-fashioned affair, in which passen-
gers are expected to put in their fares.
In order to get change one must stand
up and tap on the glass or ring a little
bell until the driver, from his seat on
the outside, hands down the change
in a small sealed envelope.
The man looked at the girls palm.
"Oh, Thank you" she said; lit will save
getting change" and she handed him
her dime.
He put the dime into the box, then
stared a moment at the nickel in his
hand and coolly slipped it into his
pocket.
He then gazed into vacancy. The
girl did likewise. The passengers
snickered, yet not one of them, perhaps
not even the man who did it, could
have told why he took the nickel.-New

DROWNED IN GOLDEN SAND.
An Experience That Does Not Tall to the
Lot of Many.

Lot of Many,
c. II. de Tersey-Grut and L. Simpson.
both Of Sydney, Australia, are travel
ing on pleasure through the United
States. Mr.. Simpson has had an eXpe-
rlence that does not often fall to the
lot Of man-of being nearly drowned
in gold. And it happened in this wise,
he said TO a writer for the Denver Re
publican;
81 was in New Zealand about a year
ago and was down in the southern
part Of the place. There is river
there named the Zaldas, and very
peculiar river it is in n good many
ways. 1t is remarkable for the
strength and swifmess OF its current
in the mountains. and it goes under
ground for space Of about Il mile in
its middle course. But the chief Of its
peculiarities is the gold-bearing quick
sand to be found near its mouth. There
is about a mile Of the river there.
where it spreads out, that is full Of
quicksand, and for good distance this
sand is full of gold. 1t assays as high
as $1,000 a ton, and is, of course, a very
valuable thing. Until recently there
was no known way of utilizing this
gold, but about a year ago a new
method was found whereby the gold
could be extracted.
well, was near there, with party
Of friends, camping and shooting and
fishing. The first night l rode out on
my horse down the river to see some
people that lived on farm near the
mouth of the river. There was a light
wind blowing at the time, and it blew
my hat all of a sudden from my head
and out into the stream. 1t hoated
down slowly, and rode on the bank
and followed and watched it.
thought that it would soon come near
the bank, and then would be able
to go out and get it by making my
horse wade in the stream. l had not
heard Of the quicksand.
Pretty soon, as it did not come near
the bank, l urged the animal out into
the river. The animal would not go,
however and neighed loudly when
brought near the water. After I had
made repeated efforts to get the horse
out into the stream l gave it up, and
then thought that l would wade out
and get the hat myself 1t was close
to the bank and the river did not look
deep.
80 jumped off the horse and into
the stream and then in an instant
knew what was the matter with the
animal, for 1 had struck the quick
sand. 1t was the place where the gold
is most to be found and that sand
there is worth lots Of money; but it did
not seem to make any difference to
me whether it was gold was sinking
in or just plain sand. 1t rose higher
and higher on me, and l felt that it
was surely the end. But the luck was
with me, and was pulled out by
chance passer on a horse, who threw
a lariat over my shoulders. 1 thought
that was surely being cut in two by
the lariat; but l was not, and was
pulled out after a while and got over
my scare, That sand where 1 was is
now worth millions of dollars, and
literally was drowning in gold, but it
wasn't any fun, l can tell you"

Although Sir Walter was master OF

Things Ono Cannot DO.

A man cannot raise from a chair
without bending forward, or putting
his feet under the chair or outside of it
Many a man will back himself to give
another a start Of fifty yards in a race
OF 100, provided the man having the
start hops all the way. But no run.
ner, however swift, can give that
amount of start to an ordinary man.
For the first FIVE yards they go at
practically the same pace. Therefore
the runner. to go ninety-fve yards
while the hopper" goes forty-five,
would have to run more than twice as
fast. and 1t would be a weak man who
could not hop forty-five yards at a
pace equal to twenty seconds for 100
yards; and that would mean the
runner would have to beat all previous
records.

GREENLAND DOGS.

The Greenland dogs are harnessed
four to ten to a sledge, and laden with
four or five heavy seals. They some
times cover 60 English miles in day.
A courier once performed a journey Of
270 miles in four days. When five dogs
are used, two and two are driven
abreast, with the leader in front. They
are tractable unless the whip is too
freely used, when they will fall to
worrying each other. The dogs are
trained to hunt seals. the polar bear,
and they fight to the death even
among themselves; they swim we'll
too. When they sleep they make a
bed for themselves by excavating the
snow with their paws and nose, after
which they bury themselves in the
hole, leaving nothing but the nose ex'
posed.
