Ing determined to answer it, he bought
a lead pencil and SCOTS 'Ivanhoe'
and proceeded to copy the latter word
by word. He wrote 95.60S words and
then was obliged to stop. for the pen.
Gil had become so short that he could
not use it. A German statistician wha
heard Of this experiment was dissat

the pencil was not used on the work.
and therefore he bought a pencil and
started to copy long German novel
When the pencil was so short that he
could not handle it with his fingers
he attached holder to it, and it is
said that he wrote with this one pen
Gil 100000 words. Possibly. however,
his pencil was longer or the lead in

Curiosities of Superstition.

When Egypt was in the height OF

civilized and delighted in being called
the mistress Of the land and sea, her

even in this form of worship. In order
to be an object of mad alteration it was
necessary that the bull calf be born
with a circular white spot in the ex-

advent of such creature in any herd
was the signal of wild demonstrations

LaWyers' Wills.

A remarkable specimen of lawyers
invalid will was that of Sir Joseph
Jeckyll, master of the rolls, who died
In 173S and bequeathed his fortune
AFTER his wife's death to pay off the
national debt. "Sir Joseph was good
man and a good lawyer was Lord
Mansfield's comment. but his beuuest
was very foolish one He might as
well have attempted to stop the middle
arch of London bridge with his full
bottomed wig" The testator's patriotic
intentions were therefore treated as
proof of mental weakness, and his will
was promptly set aside. Among the
many laundering wills that lawyers
have made for their clients, if not for
themselves, the strangest on record
was that of Dublin gentleman who
left all his money to the elder son of
his brother and, if he had no elder
son. to the second.-London Chronicle.
