A STRANGE Will.

A law case with strangely dramatic
adjuncts was lately before the su-
perior court of st. Petersburg. The
odd circumstances leading to the legal
proceedings were as follows:
One of the wealthiest land owners
near Smolensk died not long ago,
and after the funeral the heirs looked
vainly for the will, but without sue
cess.
A few days later, a young man, see.
ing a graphophone on a table in the
dead mans library, put into it a record
which he supposed was that of popu-
lar Russian song. To his amazement
and terror, instead of song he heard
the voice OF the dead man recite the
words of the missing will.
The heirs were notified of the dis.
covery, lawyers were summoned, and
they lost no time in examining the
record containing the will. It was
found to be tlawless, and the question
then arose whether a will left on a
graphophone cylinder would be deemed
valid by the courts. It is, therefore,
on this unique point that the superior
court must render it's decision.

Too Much Afraid Of Dirt.

It is quite true that Cleanliness is
next to godliness," but in this day of
fads and scientific frills the question
is whether we are not getting alto
gether too afraid of little dirt. Dirt
has been defined as matter in the
wrong place, and hygiene is the
science of keeping it in the right
place. But we are inclined to think
that we are all little bit too much
up in the air on the matter of cleanli-
ness; little too afraid of coming in
contact with the clean-smelling, kind
ly earth, and are in danger of becom-

been a notable one, including service
In two wars, directing the destruction

Dispatches which would make your
blood curdle with anguish and sorrow
for the rich are flying all over tho
country.
Something like this:
Boston, To-day: At 1890 this
morning Rudolph Oscar Grabbitall, the
millionaire stone-breaker, read the
startling news that a foreign count
had just landed in New York. His
suffering was pathetic. His daughter,
Gasolene Panatella, who will inherit
$19,000,000, mostly in bonds, stocks
and newspaper talk, was in the dental
parlor five blocks away from home
when the blow fell. Calling his house
hold about him, Mr.. Grabbitall rushed
into the dental parlor, beat the dent
list down with his bill, dragged Case
lene Panatella home and locked her
up in the rear cupboard of the spare
room on the second floor of his man
sion. Her teeth suffered somewhat,
but, thank heaven! her money will re-
main in this country. The commu-
nifty breathes easier, but all the in
coming trains are being watched"

One woman says that when her
children bring home their school re-
ports at the end of the month she al
ways finds five minutes in which to
write a personal letter to the teach
ers. If there is something that the
children have learned that surprised
her she writes a note of thanks and
appreciation, and Il the reports are
unsatisfactory she writes Offering to
aelp the teacher in any way she may
suggest. Needless to say, the teach
ers are appreciative, as any one will
know who has ever taught school.

of President Roosevelt. Selous is one Of the
notable hunters of big game in the world. He
was born in London on New Years eve 1851 of
mixed French, Scotch and English blood, and
with some of these he inherited also a loving

England for Africa. Starting at Matabeeland,
he began a sort of endless half-aimless e%pedi-
