Marshall Fields viii.

Richford Edwards, who is employed
in the wholesale department of Marshall
Field & Co. in Chicago, was much i'm.
pressed with the death of that great
merchant, as was much Of the world.
After describing the funeral prepare.
tons, Riehford writes The Forum some
things of interest concerning the sup.
posed contents of the will of the de.
ceased.
There are a great many rumors as to
the will Mr.. Field left, but it is quite
probable that the Field Museum, which
was the Fine Art Palace at the Worlds
Fair in go. which is now the only one
of the fair building left. is provided for
handsomely. His great wealth will be
divided among his widow, his daughter
in England. and grandchild, Marshall
Field III, his brother in England, and
his nephew. besides one of two Of his
wite's family. His o Marshall Field

POINTED

When you die, you will die as dead
as anybody.
d We all have enough to be cross about.
Still, it isn't a good idea to show it.
People like to be called enthusiastic,
but how they hate to be called ''gush-
ing"
The only difference between the mod
ern family row and that of the older
days is that the modern one isn't as
big a family.
The good fellow" you slap on the
back and tell your troubles to may
seem good natured, but he complains
of you to his wife.
There is nothing so disappointing as
to have n take you aside to tell you
a great secret and then discover that
you already know it.-Atchison Globe.

IT took a Ramsey county jury
just FIVE minutes in which to ar
rive at a verdict of mot guilty"
in the famous John Bloom libel
case. AS editor of the Devils
Lake Journal, Mr.. Bloom stated
what appeared IT, t. . rs the truth
regarding the allowing of a
certain bill to a.,ddeputys sheriff by
the county board. The trial
brought out the fact that the
editor was warranted in making
the newspaper comment, based,
as it was, on the published pro-
ceedings of the board; and the
Streeter libel law failed to silence
the Aforesaid publisher, although
it caused Him the loss of money
and time.

PROPERTIES or GLYCERIN.
II Heated Intensely an,
Crystallixes IL Frozen.

Decomposes IL Heated Intensely and
Crystallixes If Frozen.
One Of the great advantages of glyc-
erin In it's chemical employment is the
fact that it neither freezes nor evap-
crates under any ordinary temperature.
No p~erceptible loss by evaporation has
been detected at a temperature less
than 200 degrees f., but IT heated in
tensely it decomposes with a smell
that few persons find themselves able
to endure. 1t burns with a pale flame,
similar to that from alcohol, II heated
to about 300 degrees and then ignited.
Its homeopathic qualities make the
compound of much use as a vehicle for
holding pigments and colors, as in,
stamping and typewriter ribbons. car,
bon papers and the like.
If the pure glycerin be exposed for a
long time to a freezing temperature it
crystalliZes with the appearance of
sugar candy, but these crystals being
once melted it is almost an impossi-
bility to get them again into the con
gealed state. If a little water be add
ed to the glycerin no capitalization
will take place, though under a sufa-
cient degree Of cold the water will
separate and form crystals, amid which
the glycerin will remain in its natural
state Of 1uidity. If suddenly subject
ed to intense cold pure glycerin will
form a gummy mass which cannot be
entirely hardened or crystallized. Al
together it is quite a peculiar SUBJ
stance.

WHY CALLED .HIGH BALLS.
Views Of Those On Both Sides Of the

"Well, you see 1t was this way"

advent Of the long glass, the settler

The tall, slender gentleman with the
sharp nose objected to the definition
Of the gentleman behind the bar.
'eThe high BALL" he commended with
3 a dignity that becomes perfect knowl-
edge Of q subject, had its outcome
from the natural association of the

players want low ball and some
want a high ball. More wanted .
