The Yrs Wills.

Wills were at first oral, as were else
gifts Of land, and were only morally
binding on the survivors. Origen and
other fathers Of the early church cred
tied Noah with having made a will,
and In the fourth century the bishop
Of Brescia declared all those heretical
who denied Noah's division Of the
world to his three sons by will. The
Oldest known wills are those of Egypt.
Both oral and written wills not lnfre-
quently contained imprecations on
those who should neglect them. The
earliest written will il existence Is
that Of Sennacherib, which was found
In the royal library Of Konyunjik.
There Is a great sameness about our
W royal wills. They mainly relate
to beds, bedding, clothes, personal or
naments, gold and silver cups and pay
ments for masses, and are generally
~ prosaic as n could contrtve.

Writing With Milk.

Turpin. a chemist, under sentence Of

to establishing a secret correspondence
with him while in prison. This led to
an official inquiry on the subject by
the French authorities, and some
strange revelations were obtained
from some of the convicts.
1t appears that when information
has to be conveyed to a prisoner a
formal letter, contaiping apparently
nothing but a few trivial facts Of a
personal nature, is forwarded to the
prison. This is read by the governor,
who stamps it and allows it to be

kind every summer, and nobody ever
notices it.
When the pale city people go out In
the summer sui at the seashore or the
mountains the light attacks them
6ercely, first %reddening their skin,
then swelling, blistering and scorching
1t. If they kept in the sun enough,
and II no miracle occurred, the light
would kill them finally, burning of
the skin first and afterward attacking
the raw flesh.
But a miracle does occur. The skin
changes from a pale color to a tan and
on this tan the sun has no effect. The
sun may beat on tan colored skin for
days and weeks, but such skin remains
always sound, upholstered, whole.
Thus nature works a miracle. Tho
white skin Is suffering, and nature,
aware, somehow, that a tan skin is
sun proof, changes to tan the white.
How does she do this? Where did she
learn that it was wise to do this? No
one knows. Only the fact Of the
miracle remains.
To prove this miracle-to prove that
It Is not the hardening of the skin,
but the change in its color which pro-
tects 1t from sunburn-is an easy mat
ter.
Let a pale person, unused to the sun,
stain one side of bis face yellow, and,
leaving the other side untouched, go
out In the bright summer sun for a
couple of hours. The one side Of his
face Is no tougher, no more hardened
than the other, yet the unstained side
will be infamed, blistered, while the
tan colored one will be quite cool and
unhurt.
Sunburn is a miracle, a protection
to mankind as inexplicable and as
wonderful as the miracle Of the arctic
animals change in the winter from
dark coats to snow white ones.-New
