A striking, even startling, sign of the times Is the growth of leveling and democratizing tendencies among the women of the British aristocracy. In America it Is chiefly women of the null timtllionaire fashionable class who strive hardest to introduce into this re- public the rapidly decaying class dis functions of Europe. In Europe itself on the other hand. in Germany and mo- tably in Russia and in England, among the hereditary nobility. oftentimes of the highest rank, beautiful gifted wo- men not few have turned their faces from the gay world that lives only to amuse itself and have gone to work for the ignorant and the unfortunate, the very classes among whom the Founder of Christianity cast his lot Along divers lines these women, noble in a double sense, labor toward grand re- suits. such as the giving to every man and woman a fair start in life, and the just fruits of their labor, the enamel patton of woman an darbitration in stead of war among nations. Finally these generous labors will blend into one grand result, the workers hope, and that a redeemed human race.
 One of the most notable of the noble ladies who have wrought for human liberty and enlightenment is Ishbel, Countess of Aberdeen, the present President of the International Council of Women. She became we'll known to Americans first in connection with the Chicago Worlds Fair. Her husband, the Earl of Aberdeen. visited Chicago with his wife in 1891.

 Appeal from the Chancery Court or

 1. ' Laches; constituents
 The laches which will deprive party from claiming equitable relief Is the intentional failure to resist the asser- tion of an adverse right; and, therefore. laches cannot be imputed to one who is Ignorant of his rights. and TOT that reason alone fails to assert them
 2. Enforcement of express trust' when laches not shown to exist; dece- dents estate.-A testator who left sur viving him wife and minor cnilo tt years old, provided In his will that after a specific allowance to the wi1e' the balance of his estate should pc divided equally between his wife ana child and also provided in the VIII that his wife should have the care, mann tenance and education of his child ana for that purpose he gave to the Wiie the control and management or all the moneys of his child under his will. The child was kept in ignorance Of the pro visions of her fathers will, and knew nothing of the creation of the trust Tor her benefit At different times the wire of the testator admitted her obligations to the child. The wife of the testa- tor induced the child to go and live In a distant State with her aunts. ana at no time did the wife make any pro vision or give any moneys to the child or her aunts for her benefit. Thirty seven years after the probate of the will of the testator. the wife died leav- ing a substantial estate. and left VIII which was invalid because not witness ed. By this will she bequeathed sl.50O to said child as 'her righ1ul portion" After the death of the wife, the child, upon investigation discovered for the first time the provisions of her fathers will, and then few months after the ascertainment of the facts filed a bill in chancery for the estab- lishment and enforcement of the trust created by her fathers will for her benefit and for an accounting Held: That there was by the fathers will created a trust for the benefit of the child, and the surviving wife was the l trustee, and that by reason of the child having been kept in ignorance of her rights, she was not guilty of laches which would deprive her from seeking in a court of equity the establishment and enforcement of the express trust In her behalf as against the estate Of the deceased wife.

An Old Clock.

The oldest working clock in Great
Britain is that of Peterborough Cathe-
dral, which dates from 1920, and is
conc eded to have been made by
monastic clock maker. 1t is the only
on now known that is wound up
over an old wooden wheel. This Is
some twelve feet in circumference,
carrying a galvanized cable about
three hundred feet in length, with a
loaden weight of three hundredweight.
The cable has to be wound up daily.
The gong is the great tenor bell OF
the cathedral, which weighs thirty
two hundredweight. and it is struck
hourly by an eighty-pound' hammer.
The gong and the striking parts Of
the clock are some yards apart, COM
munication being by slender wire.
The clock is not fitted with a dial,
but the time is indicated on the main
wheel of the escapement, which goes
round once in two hours. This clock
is of most primitive design, more so
than the famous one made for Charles
the Fifth of France by Henry de
Nick.

Costly Bed for a Hawaiian Princes.

A bed which exceeds in costlness
and lavishness the most pretentlous
dreams of even the old Hawaiian rulers
has Just been completed for the Prin-
cess Kawananakoa 1t is made of koa
wood, one of the two rare kinds OF
these islands. The cost of the bed,
aside IRON any of the expensive fit
tings, will be close to $1,000 1t is
four-post couch, the posts being near
ly ten feet in height. They origi-
nally were eighteen inches in diameter
and have been most deliberately carved
by hand
The design of carving includes the
Hawaiian fruits, Hawaiian coat-of-
arms and mali lima leis, the wreaths
of green leaves and yellow flowers
always worn by Hawaiian royalty.
The carving on each post alone cost
$500, aside from the preparation Of
the wood. The logs for the bed were
secured in the wild forests of the
island of Hawaii, and months were
spent in finding pieces Of wood to
match each other, the idea being to
secure perfect pieces of wood.
The Princes Kawananakoa is the
daughter OF the late James Campbell,
one Of the wealthiest of Hawaiian
sugar planters. He was the central
fgue in a sensational abduction case
in San Francisco some years ago,
having been kidnapped and held a
number of days for ransom.

scene of an exciting tragedy last Fri
day night. Lindsay Owens, IS years
old, a prosperous farmer, had quar-
relied with his wife. She left her
home, going to neighbOr'. Owens
went to this neighbor and asked for
his wife. She appeared at the door
and Owens, after renewing the quar-
rel, fred six shots into the woman,
infisting wounds from which she died
next day. Believing her to be dead,
the husband fed from the house and
went directly to tank Of crude oil,
containing about 100 barrels, delib-
erately set fire to the oil and then
jumped into the mass of flames. Not
a vestige of his body could be found
when the FIRE burned out next morn.

Center of Population.

The "center of population" of the
United States, as fixed after each Fed

and ia now little north of the valley
of the Ohio river and has been for
several decades in Southern Indiana.
The present center of negro popula-
ton, however, as fixed by the same
bureau, is now at DeKalb county, in
Alabama, on the Georgia border, a
few miles south of Tennessee. That
is, while the center of white popula-
ton moves westward, that of the ne
gro population moves steadily south
west and has been doing 50 for more
than one hundred years, having trav-
eled through Virginia, North Carroll
ma and Georgia in turn, and now hav-
ing crossed to Alabama.

A Surgical Operation.

Mr.. G. E. Peal says, in Nature, that
he once saw young elephant delib-
erately make surgical instrument
and use il on himself =
He saw the animal go to bamboo
fence and break off one of the pickets;
this picket it further fractured with
its trunk and one of its fore feet until
it obtained sharp fragment some ten
or twelve inches in length. Then,
leaning forward on one of its forelegs'
it thrust this fragment, which it grasped
with its trunk, into its "armpit" and
vigorously moved it to and fro. As
a result of this operation, large ele-
plant leech was dislodged, which
dropped to the ground and was at
once ground to mincemeat beneath
the horny toes of the sagaciOus brute,
which grunted its intense satisfaction.

There is great excitement at Heath,
KY, over the talking tree" on the
farm of Will Albert, and Tuesday
enormous crowds gathered to hear a
sepulchral voice that repeats, at in
tervals: "There are treasures buried
at my roots" A party of the most
reliable citiz ems of the county visited
the tree to make thorough investiga-
ton. After several hours there was
a sound as of miniature thunder, and
then the voice was heard. The mys-
terry remains unsolved. The popular
theory is that man was killed under
the tree in 1862, and that his spirit
is talking. The tree is dying as the
result of fruitless digging about its
roots.
