Patrick Heavey of St. Augusttne's parish died early in '92 leaving an es- tate valued at s10,0o0. As he had no children, he directed in his will that the income of his estate be left to his wife during her widowhood- At her death or in the event of her re- marrying. he bequeataaed to his ex- ecutor, John J. Phe1an, his estate in trust for the use and benefit of any Catholic orphan asyhum or Catholic home for the destitute and aged that may be established within one year after mp wife has ceased to be a widow, and in default of any such being established in said city, that I direct my executor to pay over such residue of my estate and the income and profits thereof to the St. Fran cis orphan asylum of New Haven, or it's successors for it's sole and ex- elusive use and benefit .''
 During his life MT. Heavy had all ways been in1bued with the notions that such an institution should be established here. As it will be seen, it will not do for the incorporators to remain idle, for the bequest is only given in the event of the asy- lum being established The widow will enjoy the use of the estate during her natural life, providing she re- mains unmarried, so that if may be some years yet before ehe money can be used.

In the September American
Magazine Stanley Johnson
writes the first of a series of ar
ticles entitled youth Leads the

boys and girls, from ten to eigh-
teen years of age, are adding
untold sums to the wealth of the
country. These boys and girls,
under the direction Of the De
partment of Agriculture, are
taking hold of farming in vari-

ers how more can be got out of

1900 boys added $4,000, 900 to
the wealth of the state.

NOVEL USE FOR TELEPHONE
Surgeons Employ instrument to Deter
mine the Exact Location
Of Bullets.

War is a stimulus to science, and
this is reflected very ~strikingly in
matters pertaining to the relief Of
the wounded. The search for and
extraction of fragments Of shells is
no simple matter, although surgical
endeayor has been facilitated by the
perfection of the X-rays. But these
are insufficient. A bullet may be
located speedily, but the difficulty
is to ascertain its precise position by
the probe and lancet. As a result of
study and investigation a simple and
effective method of discovery has
been perfected, which may be de-
scribed as telephoning for bullets.
Ordinary telephone receivers are
clamped over the surgeons head, one
wire being led to a carbon plate and
the second wound round the knife,
probe, needle, forceps or whatever
instrument is used. With this i'm
plement the search is made, and di-
rectly it comes into contact with,
say, a bullet, a distinct click is
heard on the telephone. If the in
strument is rubbed across the sur
face Of the buried object a rattle is
observed, and by following this clue
it is possible to withdraw the bullet
or fragment of metal. The idea is
by no means new, inasmuch as it
was employed for the first time dur
ing the Boer war; but the present
campaign has served to bring it to
a high state Of perfection

COW GIVES 9 QUARTS

in That Time.
Fifteen years ago an assistant
in the dairy department Of the
University of Missouri began to
keep the record of the milk and
butter production of a small Jer-
sey cow. This assistant has gone
and others have come and gone,
but the Jersey COW is still on
the job. In the fifteen years she
has produced 1O8, 1868 pounds of
milk and 5000 pounds of butter
fat, or 1888 pounds of butter.
Her best years record was
1892 pounds of milk and 730
pounds of butter.
During the fifteen years this
COW, Grace Briggs, has given
birth to IL calves. Her last calf
sold for $500, and the average
for the IL is about 5000. About
$1,000 was obtained from the
sale Of all the calves. Figuring
the entire milk production for
Is years at eight cents a quart,
the total would be S4,358.72.
The approximate cost of keep
ing her was $50 a year, or a to-
tai of $3.50.
The average daily production
of milk for the Is years was a
little more than 9 quarts a day.
During her best year she pro
duced a little more than 10
quarts a day.
If the butter was sold instead
of the milk, at the price of 35
cents a pound, the total for the
butter production from Grace
Briggs would be $2,041.55.
