Curious Wills.

The most curious and perhaps the
most spiteful will on record is that of
Queen AGstrigilda. consort of King
Gontram, who by her noncupative or
verbal testament enjoined her hus-
band to slay and bury in the same
grave with herself the two physicians
who had attended to her majesty dur
ing her last illness. Scarcely less vim
dictive was the will of the selfish hus
band who forbade his wife to marry
a second time, concluding with the
threat, IF she disobeys me, | will
come again If can" Quite at the Cd.
posite pole of sentiment was the direc-
ton of the married woman who pre-
deceased her husband to her executors
to seek out some nice, good, pretty girl
who would make an affectiOnate sec
ond wife for a spOuse.-London Tele-
graph.

InHRrfnkRra

In England in 1914 undertakers were
men of influence who undertook for n
consideration to get such persons re-
turned to parliament as would prove
submissive to the royal will of King
James |. The three chief undertakers
of 1914 were Lords Bacon, Somerset
and Neville. They undertook to bribe
the chief speakers and men of infiu-
ence in parliament that year over to
the side of the king, with but partial
success. Then there were undertakers
In Ireland in 1903. They were English
and Scotch cOlOnists sent to north Ire
land and were each allotted 1000 acres
OF land. They were men of capital and
undertook to pay a mark a year for
every six acres and to admit no recu.
SAINT for tenants Hence the name as
applied to them. But neither the his
tories nor the dictionaries give any rea-
son for calling the men who bury our
dead undertakers.

Meerschaum Carving.

Vienna is the greatest center fol
meerschaum carving. which has at
tanned a very high artistic develop
ment. The raw material comes in such
odd shapes that much skill is exer-
cised in obtaining from each piece a
pipe that shall be as large and well
shaped as possible. The rough block
is first soaked in water to make it soft,
when it can be cut as readily as
cheese. After the carving is completed
the final polishing is done by women
with fine sandpaper and a kind of
