They Killed and Ate the Heir.

A peculiar will case is now being
tried before court in Berne, Switzer-
land. The relatives Of wealthy man
who died recently are trying to break
his will by which he left all his prop

ebrated bears of Berne, a collection Of
animals which has existed in that city
for centuries.
A somewhat similar case which the
Lisbon courts were getting ready to
try has Just been settled without lti-
cation. An eccentric old woman left
her fortune to a venerable rooster.
The old lady was a believer in the
transmigration of souls, and declared
that the spirit Of her late husband had
found a dwelling place in the body Of
the rooseter. She had gorgeous hen
house built for the bird, and all the
servants were instructed to pay par
tisular attention to the wants of their
master" When any Of the hens were
caught flirting with the rooster they
were promptly killed, for the old lady
was extremely jealous, and knew her

galantries while she tearfully pleaded
with him to mend his ways. Pedro
was a disreputable old bird, and had
to be kept shut up most of the time
but as the old woman said. she was
thankful for one thing-she could man.
age him better in his transmigrated
state.
When the old lady died and her will
was opened her relatives were filled
with rage and disgust They We're 60

when one bright young man among the
natural heirs rendered legal proceed
ings unnecessary by wringing Pedro's
neck. The beneficiary under the will

heirs, of course, came in for the prop
erty without any more ado, and the
body of Pedro was served up at a jub'
liant family gathering.

A Famous Chicken Raiser.

To retire to the country and raise
chickens is the ideal of many world
weary people, and one is not surprised
therefore, to learn that one of the fa-
vorite occupations of Mary Anderson
Navarro is chicken raising. She
spends hours in the company OF these
pets, and has designed her own runs
and ccops. She does not sell her eggs
or chickens, but gives to her friends
and to the poor what she does not re-
quire for her own table. Mrs. Navar-
ros homo is in Broadway, England,
and the people of the village think it
a great privilege to get one of her
chickens.

Gus rows of shirring. The shirring
should be executed over cotton cord; (;

for the purpose, but any cable cord
heavy enough will serve the turn.
The scarf is then fitted on the should
ers and pinned down where the lines
prove becoming. 1t is then popularly
supposed to become a collar" vice
scarf resigned. After being spread
out collarwise 1t should be sewed in
place. From the ends of the collar
spring the scarf ends, which are pro-
duced by the width or fullness Of the
scarf, unconfined from the shirring
process. The ends look like a little
fiounce. They are allowed to hang to
depth of an eighth of yard, and are
then clipped off, turned up and fin
ished with a simple hem.

Electric billiards.

From Paris comes the report of a
new amusement known as electric
billiards" 1t is played on table. in
the center of which is placed plate
of some easily electrified material.
The billiard balls are of compressed
pitch, and the cue is a short rod
with a cork tip, prepared chemically.
The balls are of course subject to
the influence of the electrified plate
in the center of the table, and owing
to this fact it is difficult to make
carooms. 1t is said to be purely
game of skill, and when it is intro
duced into New York, which it is
said, will be in the near future, it is
likely to become popular among
champion billiard players who are
thirsting for new difficulties to con-
quer, as well as by all others who
find handling the cue fascinating
