scendants Of Sir William Jones, who
died about sixty years ago and whose
estate has gone unadministered all
these years. The MilWaukeeans in
clude Mrs. r. G. Owens, a great-grand-
daughter of Sir William Mrs Ma
than Krauskopf, Mrs. Marion Jones,
and Mrs. Minnie Kahl, her nephew.
There are close to fifty heirs in all.
Sir William Jones was rich land
owner in Carnovanshire, and much of
his estate lies in that district. Large
tracts were leased for long terms,
most of which are just expiring, and
the property, with accumulated rents
and profits, must soon be divided
among the heirs.

ooo. That R.,smb,. Bears.

1t las already been noted by scien-
lists that certain mountain dogs have
shapes and assume attributes rcsem,
bling those OF II bear. Among these
dogs the sheep dog Of the Pyrenees
bears q closer resemblance to the bear
than most others. Although he is sell
dom over twenty inches high, his bones
are very massive and his muscles ex-
ceptionally developed. His fur Is
thick. consisting OF long, fine, silky
hair. either black. dun colOrcd or gray.
His head is large and the nose taper
Ing. the eyes small. but sharp and
lustrous and his ears always ''attcn-
tive" The toes and the base of the
feet are elongated and fat. The tail
is very short Or even entirely missing.
and by his manner OF climbing the
abrupt mountain slopes he may easily
be mistaken for a young bear.

Sir Humphry 0avy.

Sir Humphry Davy married a wild
ow as peculiar as himself. His pet af-
fcctation was a lack OF time. He was
always in a hurry. He pretended that
he had no leisure to dress himself, and
when Il change Of linen became neces-
sary he simply put one shirt over an
other until he was known to have on
five or six shirts at d time. OF course
he could not wear this amount of ap-
parel without appreciably increasing
his size, and his friends not in the Sc
cret were sometimes surprised to see
him fall Off in apparent weight twenty
pounds in a day. His wife's great anx-
icty was to keep him at for company
but rs lie did not care, 4 fig for CONF
pany she had no easy task, and domes-
tic discord was a common thing.
