TheIluson Law.

The Thelluson law, once enacted by
the British government, was law to
regulate the disposition of property
by will and to prevent the excessive
accumulation of estates. 1t had a
curious origin. On the 9th OF July.
1897, one Peter Thelluson, an English
merchant of French birth, died in Lon
don, leaving certain sum to his
widow and children and the remainder
of his property, then amounting to
several hundred thousand dollars, to
trustees to accumulate during the
lives Of his children, grandchildren
and great-grandchildre living at the
time of his death, and the survivors
Of them. The accumulation would have
been enormous. The will was con-
tested, but was held valid In order,
however, to prevent such disposition
passed what was called the Thelluson
act, or accumulations act, regulating
and limiting requests in such a way
as to make great accumulations i'm
possible. When Peter Thelluson's last
surviving grandson died, in 1856, a
question arose as to whether the eld-
est male descendant or the male de-
scendant of the eldest son should in
herit the property, and this question
was decided on appeal by the house
of lords in June, 1859. The Thelluson
will and the legislation growing out
of it were a subject Of much discus
sion by lawyers.

All Want to Wear Gowns.

The craze for legal gowns. says a
Calcutta newspaper, has now spread
to the mukhtears of Bengal. A few
years ago vakils obtained permission
to wear gowns. Black gowns were
suggested by vakils but as these would
have led to their being mistaken for
members Of the bar, blue gowns were
given them. Recently the pleaders
asked that the privilege of wearing
gowns should be extended to them and
the necessary sanction was granted,
green being the color selected. Not to
be outdone the mukhtears are now
moving in the matter and the initia-
tive has been taken by those practic-
ing in the Jalpaiguri courts who have
petitioned the registrar on the appel
late side of the Calcutta high court to
be allowed to wear gowns The color
suggested is chocolate. The matter
is under consideration by the chief
Justice.

ADD TO BEAUTY OF EARTH
Writer'S Tribute to the Tree Is Worthy
of Remembrance Throughout
the Ages.

Oh! Don Pepino, old trees in their
living state are the only things that
money cannot command. Rivers leave
their beds, run into cities and traverse
mountains for it; obelisks and arches,
palaces and temples, amphitheaters
and pyramids rise up like exhalations
at its bidding; even the free spirit of
man, the only thing great on earth,
crouches and covers in its presence
it passes away and vanishes before
venerable trees. How many fond
and how many lively thoughts have
many kind hearts have beaten here! Its
branches are not so numerous as the
couples they have invited to sit beside
it, nor it's blossoms and leaves together
as the expressions of tenderness it
has witnessed. What appeals to the
pure, all-seeing heavens! what simil-
1tudes to the everlasting mountains,
what protestations of eternal truth
and constancy from those who are
now earth; they and their shrouds
and their collins. The caper and fig
tree have split their monuments, and
boys have broken the hazel nut with
the fragments. Emblems of past lives
and future hopes, severed names which
hottest rites united, broken letters of
brief happiness, bestrew the road and
speak to the passerby in vain.-Wal-
ter Savage Lander.

EARLY HISTORY OF EUROPE
Confederation of Germanie Tribes the
Foundation of Countries Of Ger
many and France.

The name Franks was applied about
the middle of the third century to q
confederation of Germanic tribes
dwelling on the middle and lower
Rhine. Later they became divided
into two principal groups-the Sail
ans, inhabiting the districts on both
sides of the lower Rhine, and the
Ripuarians, settled on the middle
Rhine. In the third and fourth GEN.
turtles hordes of them began to move
southwards and afterwards into Gaul.
In 1858 Emperor Julian. although he
defeated the Salian invaders. allowed
them to establish themselves perma-
nently in Toxandria, the country be-
tween the Mouse and the Scheldt.
From this time Frankish chiefs and
warriors frequently served In the Ro-
man armies; and during the fifth CEN
fury they rendered valuable service to
the empire by stemming the tide OF
barbarian invasion. By this time the
SaIian Franks had made themselves
masters of northern Gaul, while the
Ripuarians were concentrated around
Cologne. Under Hlodowig or Clovis,
king of the former confederation, the
Franks were converted to Christian
ity, while by his conquests in CEN
trail Gaul, and by his subjugation OF
the Alemanni and the Riparian
Franks, he not only extended his do
minions as far as the Loire in the
one direction and the Maine in the
other, but he laid the foundation OF
what subsequently developed into the
kingdom of France.

Not New-laid,

Some workmen on an ostrich farm
in South Africa one day found live
shell left by some artillery men who
had been at target practice on the
plains few days before Not know
ing it was loaded, they whitewashed it
and placed it in an ostrich's nest,
thinking to play joke upon the boss.
The next morning one of the hands,
an Irishman, came around to look for
eggs, and finding, as he thought. a
large one, he seized on it at once.
In his establishment at finding it so
heavy he dropped it, with the result
that it exploded with direful effect. Pat
was hurled several yards away, but,
strangely enough. beyond lying
stunned for few minutes, he was IN

when he recovered his speech. "bedad.

LEARN WAY TO MAKE LIVING
Good Advice for All Women Was
That rendered at Woman's Club
at Pittsburgh.

A woman of wealth, but who Is new
ertheless identified with civic work
and is practicing lawyer, lately gave
a talk before Pittsburgh mothers
club. Here is part Of what she
said:
There is one question to which
every woman ought to be able to an
swer Yes. 1t is this: Can you earn
living If you should need to do?"
II there is one lesson more than an
other that has been emphasized In re-
cent years 1t is that the unframed
suffer most when a pinch comes. An
other lesson that is most fficiently
understood is that there is practical
ly no security in fortune.
Be prepared, is advice for a woman
as we'll as for nation. Train your
daughters, you mothers, to something
that will pay return sufficient at
least for livelihood. It can do no
harm, and it may mean just the diff.
ference between happiness and misery
In later life.
There is nothing more pathetic than
the sight of some unfortunate woman,
brought up to competency and ut.
terly unprepared to support herself,
who has been suddenly reduced to
poverty. We all know some such
woman. Pottering along at things
that are of no real use, at work given
by plying friends or strangers, more
or less dazed by contact with a world
that is foreign to her, sinking little
by little to meaner surroundings and
more desperate makeshifts, she at last
disappears, sucked under in the mael-
strom she has neither the strength nor
the training to resist.
Surely you don't want to run even
the faintest chance of becoming such
derelict, you don't want your daugh-
tiers to run any such risk. So be pre-
pared. Be fit for something, trained
to something, ready to take hold If
you must. Know at least one thing
SO we'll that people will be glad to
pay you for doing it. Be able to say
Yes If the world should ask you If
you can return fair value for a living

British Field MarShaIo.

A British field marshal never retires
from the army. He may be placed on
half pay. but is still borne on the &C
tive list. By the regulations there
must not be more than eight field mar.
shals receiving pay as such-that is
exclusive of honorary field marshals,
such as foreign kings. emperors and
princes. OF the eight regular field
marshals two must be selected from
the Indian army. The position Of field
marshal is great one. The field mar
shall commanding in CHIEF in the Med
iterranean gets $4,000 a year. Proba
bly, a field marshal actively employed
will get at least $1,000 a year. This is

Travel and Comfort.

Comfort is only another term for
habit The older we grow the mora
"sot" we become until any break IL
the routine Of existence spells discom-
fort. Ones slippers must be beside the
bed and ones clothing disposed on tho
same hooks and chairs day after day;
the water for shaving must be Of the
right temperature; breakfast is wanted
and so through the twenty -four hours.
Now. travel disaranges this routine;
therefore 1t is well to travel-more or
less; to fish fol slippers in the welter
Of valise's contents, to shave with
cold water, to breakfast at some one
else's convenience and In general to
move along the line Of most resistance.
Even good habits need disrupting now
and then, for the pursuit of comfort
leads to selfshness and inconsiderate-
ness, as the paths Of glory lead but to
the grave-Chicago Tribune.

GOOD TRAINING FOR BODY
Reasons Why Children Should Be Al
lowed to Indulge in Dances That
Are Innocent.

Dancing is invaluable as physical
training for children. 1t is impossible
for them not to learn the exact value
of time beats, because to keep the
dance going the time must be perfect.
And the quick jumping steps are
splendid training for balancing the
body.
Children learn easily and readily
because the spirit Of the dance in
spires them without mental effort.
How necessary such inspiraticI is
in the training of children, anyone
can judge who has ever watched the
heavy, timeless jump of a small, slow,
country school drilling.
Feet and brains do not work togeth-
er and the class jumps all at once,
but reaches the ground again at a
dozen different times.
A child's brain must be overworked
unless its small reasoning power is
helped by external inspiration such
as this Of the dance swing.

All Lessons of Life,

The worst kind of trouble and sol
row should only teach us the lesson
of wider sympathy and love. We
should never allow ourselves to be-
come immersed in our own griefs, for
that only intensifies them. Let US
shut them out of our minds as much
as possible.
By letting no day pass without do
Ing some kindness to others who are
perhaps far worse off than we are,
the trouble, which seemed so gigantic
at first, will gradually sink to Lillipu-
tian dimensions. By thinking sunny
thoughts and shutting out the intrud-
ing dark ones we can rob grief of all
its sting. By admitting only the
thoughts of love and peace we help
ourselves and many others.
