ECCENTRIC WILLS.
Benjamin franklin Left . Small Sum
Which Is Now Available.

Benjamin franklin Left = Small Sum
Which Is Now Available.
When Benjamin Franklin died, in
1890, he left a small sum of money,
which was not to be used until the
twentieth century. His gift is at last
available, and the sum now amounts
to $375, 600, having been invested at
compound interest, says the Pittsburg
Press. The trustees OF the Franklin
fund have decided to use the money
for the erection Of a Franklin insti-
tute in Franklin square, Boston. Curl
Gus provisions made by will are more
common than one would suppose.
Within the last few months, there have
been several examples Of eccentric dis
posals Of property. To n young
woman has been left $25,0 900 by her
brother under the express condition
that she neither marries nor becomes
a nun. If the conditions are not full
filed, the money is to be distributed
among other relatives. To his three
daughters an Italian who recently died
left 5000 a year each ii they remained
single and 81, 800 each q year II they
married. A late member OF the En-
glish parliament left by will to his two
daughters $72O. 900, with the provision
that the money is only to be payable II
they attain the age Of IS years. without
marrying either a citizen of the
United States or a Hebrew.

The public must have read with
something of a shock the other day

Hampshire, has been sold to a Boston
capitalist for over $500, 900, observes
Judge. This is one of the choicest
bits of natural scenery in the country,
ranking next to Pixies Peak in point
of scenic celebrity. Coming SO close
after the taking over of Niagara falls
by a commercial company, the pur-
chase of this central figure of the
American Alps is well calculated to
excite public alarm. These big out
door landmarks hitherto have been
regarded as a kind of continental as
set belonging to the people at large
and travellers felt at liberty to boast
of them, and did SO out of the pride
of a fractional possession, as it were.

Belief That Sugar Confers Strength

Time was when we should never
have dreamed Of having sweets on our
luncheon, dinner and tea tables. Now
it would be quite extraordinary were
one not to offer these dainties. And.
what is more, we are not merely con-
tent to eat sweetmeats at Jul meals,
but we consume them at all times and
in all places between meals. It was
recently said that boxes of bonbons

lovemaking. sweet to the sweet" be-
ing apparently the text by which ev-

The great Russian wrestler who is
shortly to enter again into contest

the more sweet stuff one eats the
stronger one grows. Sugar is the
secret of strength, he declares.

Great Russian Wrestler Says tho
More Sweet Stuff Ono Eats
tho Stronger He Will Grow
Seems to Be True.

Various reasons have been assigned
for the increase in stature and
strength of the modern maiden, who
has most certainly grown uncommon
ly tall and proportionately muscular
during the past few years. 1t cannot
be that outdoor sports, %gymnastic ex-
ercises and so on, have stretched her
out and made her as strong as she is.
because her brothers have had pre-
cisely the same advantages, and they
have not developed at the same rate.
It seems to me, therefore, that the Sc
cret lies in the fact that Of recent
years girls have become far greater
consumers Of sweetmeats than ever
were their mothers and grandmothers.
