II will be remembered that the gas
brackets on Waterloo Bridge We're re-
moved some years ago and others put
in their places, but there was such an
outcry that the new ones were removed
and the old ones replaced. The fact is,
their original removal was an act of
vandalism, for those old and artistic
gas brackets were fashioned from cam

QUAINT WILLS.

The making of queer wills is sub
iect prolific of good stories, and some
remarkable examples are given by Vir-
gil M. Harris in Ancient, Curious and
Famous Wills" One Caroline Hunter,
an elderly spinster, left G1,000 in trust
for her parrot The money was to pro-
vide it with home and to guarantee II
attention at the hands of a custodian
who had to be of the female sex and
had 10 undertake not to leave England.
The will included this clause:
j will and desire that whoever tries
TO Illustrate these my intentions shall
forfeit whatever / have left him, her
or them. owe nothing to any one.
Many owe me gratitude and money,
but none have paid me either"
A rustic OF Toulouse about 1871 wrote
brief will in these terms:
Il declare that l appoint my russell
cob my universal heir, and desire thai
he may belong to my nephew. George.
This was contested. but was confirm
ed, as i was clear that the said George
in owning the horse would have con-
troll of the money: also he would not
be able to transfer or dissipate the cash
for the simple reason thai he would
require the horses consent, which
would be difficult to obtain.

"ooN'Ts" IN MEMS DRESS.
SartorisI Expert Gives World Benefit
of His Wisdom.

A London dress expert contends
that the aristocratic denizens of the
West End are the best dressed men in
the world. but at the same time be-s
walls the diseordant coTnbina lions of
clothes that are seen on English Hids

latter he prescribes a number o.
"don'ts." Here, as matter of
curiosity, are some of them: As
About Collars-Don't wear a wing

About Ties-7Don't wear a bow tie
too long for the collar. 1t looks as in
eongruous as a small headed man in a
big brinmed hat. The length of the

in strict keeping with the size of the
collar. Self tied bows are becoming
increasingly favored. though knots arc
