MoRE Work FoR rHE LAWYER.
Legal Light Explains Why He Mad
Doubled His Fee.

Five years ago a certain man made
viii. Last week he made another
one. The same lawyer drew up both
documents. For writing the second
will the lawyer charged twice as
much as for writing the first one.
why this difference?" asked the
client. Have you attained such promI-
nence in the legal profession in the
last five years that you are JUSTIFIED in
doubling your fees?"
Not at all, said the lawyer. There
was twice as much work on this will
as on your old one You see, at that
time you were a married man and
your will was short, for with the ex-
ception of a few minor requests every
thing was left to your wife. Changes
in your domestic relations have made
another will necessary. You are now
bachelor, or a bachelors equivalent,
a childless widower 1t is much hard
er to write will for man Of that
type than for a married man. The
man with family usually gives away
everything he possesses in three or
four clauses, but the bachelor divides
his property among so many relatives,
friends and dependents and consumes
SO much time in doing 1t that the
lawyer is justified in charging him
double the usual fee."

Bearded vultures.

In the London Geological society's
eastern aviary there is now living a
splendid example OF the lammergeyer,
or bearded vulture. This species
(Gypaetus harbatus) resembles the
eagle in having the head covered with
feathers. 1t is a distinctly handsome
bird, and, being without the bald head
of the typical vultures, lacks their re-
pufsive look. In it's habits and mode
of life it resembles the true vultures,
except, perhaps, that it is rather more
dainty in its tastes. Stories have
been told Of children carried of by the
lammergeyer, but they are highly i'm
probable. In some countries 1t is
called by name meaning bone
breaker" from its habit of carrying
bones up in the air and dropping
them from great height in order to
get at the marrow. 1t inhabits the
mountainous regions of southern Eu-
rope, and its range extends through
Asia Minor and the Himalayas to
China.
