WILL THAT ALARMED WORLD
Eccentric Frenchman Planned to Build Up Large Estate, But in
 the End SienaiIy Failed.

Mingled wonder, indignation and alarm were excited in the public mind over a will left by Peter Thelusson, a Frenchman. who died on July 21. 1797. It appears that the testator had accu- mulated a large fortune as London merchant, and by the provisions of his will he left to his wife and children the sum of f1OO.OOO, and the residue of his property. amounting to about f6O0,OOO, he committed to trustees, to accumulate during the lives of his sons, and finally to revert to his eldest great-grandson. Should no heir exist, the accumulated prop erty was to be conveyed to the sink ing fund for the reduction of the na- tional debt. According to the lowest calculation it was estimated that the fortune would amount to f19,OOO,OOO. The will was generally stigmatized as absurd and illegal, and the family test ed it in court. where it was sustained. as it was likewise in the house of lords In 1900 an act was passed making null all bequests for the purpose of ac- emulation for longer than twenty years after the testator's death. The last grandson died in 1856. and dis pute arose as to whether the eldest sons grandson should inherit or the eldest great-grandson. It was decided in favor of the former. By reason Of litigation and accidents of management the fortune inherited was little more than the original E6OO.Oo0.

the south wall to leave space for a window, which should be bought when the family finances could afford such luxuries. For the time being 1t would be left open in fine weather and cov- cred with canvas when the elements were gruff or unruly. The rag carpet, when no longer needed as a tent, would be draped in the doorway, pending the purchase of boards to make a wooden door.
 For a roof grass was laid on the poles and covered tightly with sods. Then Harris found a sticky, yellow clay in the side of the ravine, and two or three inches of this he spread carefully over the sods, like icing on a great cake. The greasy clay soon hardened in the sun, and became so fmpervious to water that the heaviest rains of summer made no impression upon it.
 By this time the snow was all gone, except in north-facing hooks along the ravine. and the frost was out of the sod in all places deep enough, to admit of blowing. As the stock were taking no harm from the open air, thanks to the shelter of the ravine, Harris de- cided to delay the construction of his stable until after seeding and to pro- ceed at once with the blowing of his land. He had also to make trip to Arthurs' for seed grain, and to bor- row a couple of sections of drag har- rows. With it all, by the middle of May he had sown 15 acres of wheat, and notwithstanding heavy snowfall about the twenty-third, by the first of June he had added ten acres of oats. With his help Mary had planted a small garden of potatoes and vegeta- bles, and a few flowers were spring ing up at the door of the house.
