Peter Isaac Thellusson, a Genevese
merchant who had grown rich In Lon
don, left one of the most extraordinary
wills ever made and which necessi-
tated law proceedings. ending In the
House of Lords.
This affiuent trader left f10o, 900 to
his widow and the remainder of his
property-namely. f600,O00-he left to
trustees to accumulate during the lives
of his three sons, and the lives of their
sons; then the estates that were pur-
chased with the produce of the accu-
mulated funds were to be conveyed to
the eldest lineal male descendant of
his three sons. He also made the pro-
yiso that should no heir exist the whole
amount was TO be applied to the re-
duction of the national debt. The will
was contested by the heirs-at-law, but
finally established by the House of
Lords.
On the death of the last surviving
grandson dispute arose as to whether
the eldest male descendant or the male
descendant of the eldest son should in
herit the property. The latter won.
but the legal expenses of the case were
so heavy that almost all the original
100000 was swamped After this
trial the government passed law pro-
hibiting any one to leave property for
the purpose of accumulation for pc
riod Of more than twenty one years
after death.

cANAoA's WINTER PORT.
Harbor of st. John Has Not BeenFrozen
Over In Mans Memory.

oNET III
The most important feature of the
recent commercial history OF st. John
Is its claim to the title of being the
winter port Of Canada" Its ambi-
cent origin 1t has been hoping and
planning for II for half century. Some
forty years ago or nearly ten years be-
fore the British provinces were united
TO form the present dominion, and be-
fore either of the great railroads, the
lntereolonial or the Canadian Pacific,
has been constructed TO bring the wide
ly-separated provinces into eommuni-
cation with each other, this prediction
was made concerning the future of the
city: Looking at its position with re-
gard TO lower Canada, ST. John must
yet become the winter port of the coun-
try. II its people will work for It, In a
few years it will be certain to rise TO II
position where II will be known as the
Liverpool of America"
The first prediction of this prochet
was a long time In coming true, but st.
John did finally become winter port.
There Is no way of telling whether 1t
will ever be 1.-THE Liverpool of Amer
lea" or, If II really Is going to put the
other Atlantic ports out of business,
lust how many more years they Will
be permitted TO flourish. 1t is proba-
bly, a question that the present gener-
alton will not have TO bother itself
about.
For a great many years st. Johns
claim to Importance was not taken
very seriously by any one but her own
citizens, but they were certain that its
location was such as to eventually
make Ii great ocean port. The con-
federation of the provinces took place.
Then the Intercolonial Railroad was
built. After that came the construc-
ton of the great transcontinental enter
prise, the Canadian Pacific Railway.
and 1t selected st. John as Its Atlantic
terminus. Then the prophets said, II
told you So" and began to hustle. The
problem how to get Canadian trade
through Canadian channels had at last
been solved. There was no longer any
necessity for sending the business in
a roundabout way when the Ice had
the st. Lawrence River blocked SO the
ships could not get up to Quebec and
Montreal for their cargoes.
The harbor of st. John has never
been frozen within the recollection OF
the Oldest inhabltant, say the people
of that city, which is not true of any
other harbor north of Hatteras. When
the season of navigation closes on the
st. Lawrence the freight is hauled on
to st. John before it is taken off the
cars.-St. Louis Globe Democrat

were not half SO real to him as Indians

REeELllous MULE WON.
Independent Animal Wouid Not Be
Bound by Conventions.


Once. on a mining expedition. we had
among the mules a strong, rebelllous
young animal that was determined to
go where and as she pleased. Some
times her fancy took her along the
high places above the road, sometimes
she went down below 1t. then she
seemed TO have lost something and act

they caught the ambitious mule and

conveniently and she couldn't get past
the horse, neither could she wander up
to the hlltops or climb down among
the gullles, without taking the horse
along, too, but that was ineonvenient.

SO they stood. Presently the poems

Canadas title to the immense island
areas in the arctic waters north and
east of the Dominion proper has late
ly been called In question. These areas

and some of them may yet prove as
valuable as the Yukon itself.

as large as England and Ireland, says

them, Bafiin Land, Is some !. 100 miles
In length and 500 miles across at Its
widest part Baffin Land lies at the
head of the Hudson bay and is divided
from that enormous and almost unex-
plored section of Canada known as
Labrador by Hudson strait.
There are large islands In the strait
itself between Baffin Land and Labra-
dor and some In the northern part Of
Hudson bay between the main land
and Labrador. The rest of the Islands
are contiguous to northern Canada in
the Arctic ocean.
These waters are frequented by
American whalers, the owners of
which have established permanent fish
cry stations far apart in various direc-
lions. The question of sending Cana
dian officials into these unorganized
parts to form them into provincial dis
tricts of Canada and exercise regular

The outdoor laborer, the indoor ar

Catarrh is well-nigh universal; al :

cold is the beginning of eatarrh. To
prevent cold, to cure colds, is to
