executors to collect all in excess of S2OO,0OO and turn it into her estate. The $2OO,OOO flat to go to Boardman heirs. Relative to this phase of the estate Burton Mansfield yesterday said:
 There will be no contest The mat ter will be taken up and adjusted amic- ably. There is no hostile feeling, and if necessary a friendly action in a court of law will be brought to settle the question of whether the estate of Mrs. Boardman or the claimants to the trust fund are entitled to the surplus of the trust fund.-
 The $150,0OO trust fund excess is not a part of the $9OOO0O willed away as above shown. If it is awafded to Mrs. Boardman's estate it will fgo into the residuary fund already estimated at S150,OO0.
 As Mrs. Boardman's gifts during her life amounted to about $700000 the total of her benefactions, now $1,60o,000 will make her remembered as undoubtedly Connecticut's greatest philanthropist, Disposition of the Boardfnan mansion at 46 Hillhouse avenue is made in the will of William w. Boardman, who de- sires that the Hillhouse avenue proper ty shall go to the heirs of his sister Cornelia F. Boardman, late of New Milford.

FORGED TO EAT BOOKS.

People Who in This Way Have Con- tributed to Destruction of Literature
 Among the causes that contribute tc the destruction of books, says an Italian writer, America Scarlatti, there is one very curious one that may be called bibliophagia. No reference Is in- tended to the mice that once destroyed in England an entire edition of Cast wells Lexicon Heptaglotton, but to human beings who have literally de- vourced books.
 In 1870 Barnabo Visconti compelled two papal delegates to eat the bull of excommunication which they had brought him, together with its siken cords and leaden seal As the bull was written on parchment says the scienti- fic American, not paper, it was all the more difficult to digest
 A similar anecode was related by Oelrich, in his "Dissertatio de Biblio- theearum ct Librorum Fatis d756, of an Austrian General. who had signed a note for 1000 florins, and when it fell due compelled his creditors to eat it.
 The Tatars, when books fall into their possession, eat them, that they may acquire the knowledge contained in them.
 A Scandinavian writer, the author of a political book, was compelled to chose between being beheaded or eating his manuscript boiled in broth.
 Isaac Volmer, wflo wrote some spicy satires against Bernard, Duke of Saw ony, was not allowed the courtesy of the kitchen, but was forced to swallow them uncooked.
 Still worse was the fate of Philip Oldenburger. a jurist of great renown, who was condemnd not only to eat a pamphlet of his writings, but also to be fiogged during his repast, with or ders that the Jogging should not cease until he had swallowed the last crumb

moving about. "Woolly bears," those black and yellow bristle covered cater- pillars, the larvae of the Isabella moth, were particuarly active. The warm weather enticed them from their hiding places und logs, stumps, boards and stone piles and they were seen hurry ing along the railroad tracks and coun- try highways in considerable numbers. l Spiders spun their streamerlike webs from the ends of grass stalks and weeds were as abundant as on autoann 1 days.
 A solitary turtle crawled out of the mud in the bottom of pond or stream and wandered down the road
 where 1t was found by much aston, ished countryman.
 { Night walkers" those large earth worms that in summer come out of the ground after an evening and are cap- tured by the fishermen, were also seen. { The few fowls that were fortunate enough to catch one seemed to appre- | ciate the unexpected treat and were l jealously pursued by their companions. Wasps were reported from Troy, N. | r.. and butterflies from Rutland, Vt.
 The butterflies doubtless were mourn | ing cloak butterflies. All of them do not die as winter approaches; some hiber- | nate under stones or board piles, in
 buildings or other places where they can find cover. The butterflies seen pro-
 bably were some that had been deoeiv-
 ed by the mild weather and had taken l q SVa mt of IA
 One would not think that the fishes
 would be influenced by warm winter nevertheless several good strings of
 suckers were caught in the Owego
 Creek in early February, although they
 usually refuse to bite until after the
 ice goes out in March or April. l More song sparrows have wintered
 over than usual, and red winged black
 birds, bluebirds, robbins, goldfnches,
 belted kingfshers and meadow larks
 have also been seen, still their pre-
 sence is nothing unusual, as they have l all been known to remain all winter
 when the weather was very severe. | The unexpected appagTanee of most of these animals is a good illustration of the effect of a mild winter on anil mals. Natures creatures seem to have
 been sleeping with one eye open and l the first few warm days brought many
 of thems back to active life. Sportsmen report that numbers of ruffed grouse have escaped the hun- ters, So if the present weather contin-
 ues, all game will get through the win
 ter in good condition. Already the lack
 of snow has saved the lives of many
 rabbits and such fur bearing animals
 as skunks, mink, musk rats and foxes,
 for without snow the hunters cannot
 track them so easily.

ANIMALS EASY LIFE.
Winter Has Bee So Mild That Many
 Have Made Early Apnearanee.

Winter Has Bee So Mild That Many
 Have Made Early Appearance.
 The animals that escaped the rigors of last winter have had an exceptional ly easy life so far this year, which they certainly are entitled to.
 Many covies of quail perished from cold and hunger last year. Rabbits that were unable to find food in sufficient quantities resorted to orchards and vinyards and i'd great damage by gnawing the trees and vines. Apple trees six inches in diameter were com pletely glrdled by meadow mice and they also ruined many fine beds of raspberry and blackberry bushes.
 Thus far the winter has been so mild, writes correspondent of Forest and Stream, that even woodchucks and chip hunks have appeared from time to time. Gray squirrels could be found in the woods on any warm day in Decem- Der, January anu CepFudrS' ailHouSH they seldom wander far from their holes in the trees at this season, the tracks of one were seen in the mud by the roadside fully half a mile from the woods.
 Skunks have not "denned up, which last winter they were known to do early in December, and there was a period of six weeks when they did not leave their holes. Nowadays they are out in the fields nearly every night hunting for mice, and it is not at all improbable that by turning over stones and boards they catch a cricket or so their favorite food.

HOW TOGO FOOLED THE BOYS.

It was whispered that some school boys, jolly and excitable as always, on that day were determined to unharness his carriage horses and draw the car riage up to the gate of the Imperial Palace. Dad Togo got wind of them, and he was foxy, as some said. He sent his chief of staff in his carriage, while he walked comfortably toward Nijubashi, the Imperial gate bridge, with his dear little daughters hand in 6lis hand in his. Isn't this delicious story? So he played the same old trick afterward again upon the poor, unus- pecting Russian stailors at Tsugaru Strait His actions inc this war were full of wonder and mystery. He gave surprise at every turn Tone Nougchi in National Magazine.
