MAKE ODD Wills.
Many Freakish Documents Flee
for Probate.
One Drawn at the Time of the "Black
Plague" Placed in a Bottle
of Spirits.

All wills for which probate is grant
ed are filed in Somerset House. They
can be inspected by the public on the
payment of a fee. The only eXcep-
ton TO the above rule applies TO the
wills of the king and queen of Eng
land, which are kept in the records
but are sealed
Almost every day the principal pro-
bate registry office has to deal with
wills of original construction.
One Of the most recent was the pOr-
trait of pretty girl upon which the
testator had simply written, Il leave
all 10 her" The legatOr, a soldier,
had duly signed it, and affidavits of
identity being forthcoming, the will
was admitted to probate and filed
in the archives of Somerset House.
A quaint will, yet these same ar
chives contain others just as fanciful
and some that are remarkable for
their historical interest.
One of this collection, interesting
from a medical point of view, was
made by an unfortunate who died OF
the black plague that ragged at one
time in London. This will was placed
in a bottle filled with spirits and then
corked.
A precautiOn, no doubt, to preserve
his majesty's law officers, who would
have subsequently to handle it in the
course of their Duties from infection
by the deadly bacilli.
Another will is in shorthand. Con-
sidering its date, somewhere round
the year 1850, this is not a little re-
markable. for the welI-known cipher
invented by the famous Mr.. Pitman
saw the light of day over a hundred
years later.
Luckily the testator left a key,
else the authorities would have been
put to no little trouble to decipher it,
for shorthand was unknown in those
days.
A will salvaged from the bottom of
the sea supplies the nautical interest.
This will was recovered after a long
period of immersion, and the only dam
age it received was in the way of
shrinkage.
1t was made on parchment, and this
when fshed up was found to have
Shrunk to about tenth it's normal
size. But SO beautifully had it been
inscribed that the writing remains
as clear as print to this day, and though
very minute it can be read easily with
the naked eye.
Another quaint, though cumbersome
record is the leg of a fOur-pOster bed.
The will of a certain earl was hidden
in recess at the top of this leg, and
as there was a dispute over the grant
of probate the leg and it's large wood
en- castor had to be filed and kept as
evidence.

Canada Has No National FIao.

Canada has no national flag. A So
called Canadian flag is in use. but its
use is unauthorized, and it no longer
represents Canada. 1t is the red en-
sign of the British mercantile marine
with the cOat-of-arms of Ontario, Que
bee, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick
in a quartered shield on the field of
the flag.
This flag, by warrant dated Febru-
airy 2, 1892, was authorized by the
British admiralty ito be used on
board vessels registered in the Do
minion." This limits it's domain to
Canadian merchant ships, as no au-
thorization was given to fly it on
shore. When it is flown on land it is
out of its formal jurisdiction. In any
case it has not been formally adopted
by the Canadian people, and it now

Joke on the Bank.

Woman's limited knowledge of
banking and money matters has long
been the subject for jokes on the
stage and elsewhere. The story of the
woman who believed that because she
still had blank checks in her check
book she still had plenty of money
in the bank is an old one. But the
other day an Indianapolis woman
was notified that her account had
been overdrawn and instead of ac-
ceptlng the banks stereotyped invi-
tation to "come in at your earliest
convenience and attend to the mat
ter" she chose a new method of pro-
cedure. The bank received the fol-
lowing letter from the woman:
please find inclosed a check for
