CURIOUS ORIGIN OF A LAW.


OF Peter Thsiiusscns VIII.
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 Gu
rious origin.
On the 9th OF July. 1897, one Peter
Thellusson, an English merchant of
French birth, died In London. leaving
certain sum to bis widow and chill
dren and the remainder Of his property,
then amounting to several hundred
thousand dollars. to trustees to ac
emulate 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 ac
emulation would have been enormous
The Will was contested. but was held
valid. In order, however. 10 prevent
such disposition OF property in the
future. parliament passed what was
called the Theilusson act. or accumula
tons act regulating and limiting be
quests I'm such a way as to make great
accumulations impossible.
When Peter Thellussons last sur
viying grandson died. In 1855, ques.
ton arose as TO whether the eldest
male descendant or the male descend
ant of the eldest son should inherit the
property, and this question was de
cided on appeal by the house OF lords
In June. 1850. The Theliusson win and
the legislation growing out OF 1t were
a subject Of much discussion by law

WCTORlA'S LETTERS.
Royal Secrets That Are Stored Away
In Buckingham Palace.

In Buckingham Palace.
I'VE may wonder II the world win
ever be allowed to see the private cor
respondence amassed by the late Queen
Victoria" says a writer. II is stored
away In a strong room built into the
walls of Buckingham palace, and the
queen shared her confidence with no
one.
So long as she was physically able to
do so she opened and closed the safe
herself and arranged its contents
When she was too feeble to do this she
employed an old and trusted secretary.
but even he had to work under the
royal eye. He was never allowed to
keep the keys nor to read the letters
that he handled.
Queen Victoria was always a volumi-
nous letter writer, and she was In cou-
slant communication with most OF the
royalties in Europe. Every domestic
secret and privacy of ROYALTY during
half a century is said to be represented
and 1t IS easy to believe that the mod
ern historian would find his hands full
If he were permitted to browse among
these letters.
But probably he will have to wait a
few hundred years and then his pop
ular audience will be languid one. 1t
is one of the ironies OF life that we can
never have a thing when we want it.

TELLS HOSEWIVES OF
SUBSTITUTES FOR MEAT
Miss Bah Bell of University of
Missouri Names Cheaper
Foods
Meat three times a day!

Meat three times a day!
81 just can't help it." insists
the farm wife. "John and the
boys are at work all day on the
farm and when they come in
hungry to meals they want sub
stantial foods" Such reason
as this is generally given by the
housekeeper for serving meat at
every meal, says Miss Bah Bell,
assistant professor in home &C.
onomics in the College of Agri-
culture Of the University of Mis-
souri, at Columbia.
As substitutes for meat in the
diet, Miss Bell suggests that the
housewife serve milk, cheese,
eggs, dried beans, peas, %lentils,
nuts and grains. These foods
furnish proteins or tissue-build-
ing material the same as meat,
and if they are substituted for
meat at one or two meals Of the
day the bad effects of too much
neat eating will be avoided.
While meat eaten in modera-
ion is a good, wholesome food,
Miss Bell says that its proteins
are more likely to putrefy than
the %proteins of most other foods,
and that certain elements which
meats contain must be counter
acted by fruits and vegetables.
The housewife, however, should
be careful to serve meat substi-
tutes attractively. Mixtures
that are wholly lacking in taste
do not satisfy the appetite.
Another point that should be
borne in mind is that fat forms
a part of meats of good quality.
BY the use of cream, butter or
olive oil fat may be supplied.
Milk ranks high as a meat sub
stitute and may be used in many
dishes. Nuts are a more con-
centrated food even than cheese
and their use is coming into
prominence.
One of the factors in regard
to meat substitutes, worthy of
the strongest emphasis, is that
their use will cut down the meat
bill, a vital problem which the
housewife has to confront.

Pestalozzi Street, st. Louis, the
other night. Johnson Enderle-
Pauley Drug Co., store at
Seventh and st. Charles streets,
served as the court room. The
Tanlac man had the floor when
the stranger forced his way to
the counter and demanded to be
heard.
q want you men here to be
my judges on my testimony for
Tanlac." In the silence that fol-
lowed, Mr.. Kinds continued:
Three weeks ago my wife
suffered terribly with stomach
trouble, and was in a general
run down condition.
"The slightest noise annoyed
her. Even our little boy at play
was forced to keep quiet most of
the time. Her kidneys must
have been in bad condition for
she had awful pains in her back
and limbs. She complained of
dull, dizzy headaches and ate
scarcely any food. After eating
she would often get sick at the
stomach. Her rest was broken
and she would get up tired and
all worn out, as if she hadn't
been to bed. The least exertion
tagged her and she didn't take
interest in anything.

of faith in proprietary medicine,
but l started by wife to taking
Tanlac when it was first placed
on sale in st. Louis and | tell
you that Tanlac has certainly
made a new women out of my
wife. She now feels better than
she has for years.

my wife's experience in a spirit
of gratefulness because it made
our household happy"
