CURIOUS ORIGIN OF A LAW.
Il Was Passed In England on Account
of Peter Thellusson's Will.

Il Was Passed In England on Account
of Peter Thellusson's Will.
The Thellusson 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 Gu
rious origin.
On the 9th of July, 1907, one Peter
Thellusson, an English merchant OF
French birth. died in London, leaving
a certain sum to his widow and chill
dren and the remainder Of his property,
then amounting to several hundred
thousand dollars, to trustees to &C
cumulate during the lives of his chill
dren. grandchildren and great-grand
children living at the time Of his death
and the survivors of them The &C
emulation would have been enormous
The will was contested. but was held
valid. In order however, to prevent
such a disposition Of property in the
future, parliament passed what was
called the Thellusson act, or accumula
tons act. regulating and limiting De
quests In such u way as to make greal
Accommodations impossible.
When Peter Thellusson's last sur
yiying grandson died. in 1856, ques
tion arose as to whether the eldes
male descendant or the male descend
ant of the eldest son should inherit TIT
property. and this question was de
cided on appeal by the house of lord

Anna Likes Geography.

Dear Uncle Jed: / like geography.
1 think IL is lots OF fun. Our teacher
writes questions on cards, then we
have to answer them. We yearrs
about the North Frigid Zone the North
Temperate Zone. the South Frigid
Zone, and the Equator.
We live in the North Temperate
Zone Today we have learned Of two
imaginary lines. the tropic Of Cancer
and the tropic of Capricorn.
We have learned about the sun, the
moon and the earth. The sun is larg-
er than the earth and the earth is a
large ball of land and water. The
moon gets its light from the sun and
is smaller than the earth and sun.
Another thing / will tell you about
is the horizon. The horizon is when
! the earth and sky seem to meet.
We have learned about rivers, bays
| and seas. A large stream Of water
| flowing through land is a river: an
| arm of the ocean partly enclosed
| by land is bay; an arm OF the ocean
| larger than n gulf or bay extending
| into the land is a sea. That is al
we have learned so far.

Lindu the Northern LIGHT.

/ will tell you a story about little
girl who lived many years ago. Her
name was Lindu.
God said to Lindu: You may take
charge of the BIRDS
Whenever men came to kill them
Lindu would pray for a stronger wind
to blow the dust into their eyes so they
could not see.
Then the North Star saw that Lindu
was a beautiful girl, so he wanted her
for a bride.
But the little girl answered: NO,
Mr.. North Star, / don't love you be-
cause You are very far away"
Then the Moon saw Lindu and said:
"Lindu is going to be my bride"
When Lindu heard this she quickly
answered: 81 don't love you because
you have the same round face every
night"
Well" the Sun then thought, she
will be my bride"
But she didn't want any of them.
Then the Northern Light came in his
chariot and when Lindu saw him she
fell in love with him. She said she
would be his bride. 4 stream gave her
a veil, Frost King gave her lace, and
birds gave her a white dress.
Spring came, but the Northern Light
didn't come. She wept every day.
After a few days she lived happy.
She is still living. Did you ever meet
her?

The Sheep and the Birds.

Once q father and his son were sit
ting under a tree upon n hill. It was
near sunset, and a flock of sheep were
feeding near them.
a strange man came along who had
a dog with him. As soon as the sheep
saw the dog they became alarmed and
ran into some thOrny bushes which
grew nearby. Some of their wool
caught upon the thorns and was torn
off
When the boy saw this he was trou-
bled and said: See, father, how the
poor sheep. These bushes ought TO
may not harm the sheep"
As they were speaking a bird flew
down among the bushes, picked off a
tuft of wool, and carried il away in
his beak to n high tree.
See" said the father, with this wool
the bird is making a soft bed for its
young in the nest. How comfortable
the little ones Will be- and the sheep
could well spare 4 little of their fleece
Do you now think it is we'll to cut
down the busheS2"
NO" said the boy, I'VE will let them
stand"
Remember my SON" said the IA
| Their, that we are all dependent or
! one another. 1t seemed to you very
hard that the poor sheep should lose
| their wool; but now you see, that
| without this wool, the little bird could
not have its warm nest"

UNCLE JED'S TALK TO WIDE
AWAkES.

The boys are playing marbles and
the girls are jumping rope, and it will
not be long before both will be driv-
ing hoop. These are among the real
signs of spring, as much as the coming
of the birds or the setting up of the
croquet arches.
How long do you suppose boys and
girls have played these games in the
spring, and why do they play them at
certain seasons of the year, with hoop
driving and "hop-scotch" following, the
games for boys and girls in the sum-
mer time as tennis and croquet are
for older people?
And the game of marbles has its
language as well as baseball, and the
boys will soon "knuckle down." pink

Whenever a man harks back to
boyhood, and many of them do in the

A Brave Nurse.

The eagle-is a very noble looking
bird, but is apt to prove a somewhat
troublesome neighbor. He usually
confines his attentions to small game,
such as hares, cartridges, etc, but
sometimes likes to vary his diet, and
carries off young pigs and lambs from
the farms. thus causing considerable
loss to the farmers.
The prey is Immediately taken to the
nest and divided among the young, if
there should be any eagleIs in the lofty
cradle.
When in pursuit of prey the eagle
is a most daring bird, having been
seen to carry off a hare from before
the noses of the hounds.
OCca siOnany, however, the eagle
falls a victim to his own rashness. \

What Happened Yesterday.

Dear Uncle Jed:-Yesterday morn
inE while we were at school the
stranSest thing happened. The chill
dren were all busy and one of the girls
was reading. Everything was still
when all at once a little rat crept un-
der the door and ran W TO the front
Of the room.
In an instant books and lessons were
forgotten. Excited whispers OF
"a rat" went round: and, of course
the girls screamed and teacher jump
ed upon n chair.
This made the boys laugh and two
or three ran to capture the poor little
mouse. They opened the drawers Of
the desk and there he was in one OF
them. One OF the boys killed him.
/ guess he must have visited school
before because one of the girls books
was Chewed up ond other papers and
things destroyed.
