LEFT WEALTH TO LOVED ONE
Romantic Chapter of English History
Revealed by Death That Has
Recently Occurred.
A romance in the life of the Right
Hon. 0. P. Yilliers, the statesman
who represented Wolverhampton,
England, in parliament for forty-five
years and died in 1898, is recalled
by the death of Mr. Hamilton Fane
Gladwin of Seven Springs, Glouces
tershire.
Mr. Villiers, who was born in
1802, was in his youth and middle
age a strikingly handsome man, Sir
Edward Russell, in his book of remi
niscences, “That Reminds Me,” says
in allusion to him that “the duke of
Buckingham was not the only Vil
liers who had a reputation for manly
amenities and fascination and kind
reception by the fair.” His person
ality attracted the only child and
heiress of Mr. John Mellish of Ham
mels Park, Hertfordshire, who fell
ardently in love with him.
The affection was not reciprocated,
but nevertheless on her death Mi fis
Mellish made Mr. Villiers her heir
to the Hammels Park estate. He
declined to touch the fortune, and
lived on his pension as a former cab
inet minister. At his death he
passed the fortune intact to Mr.
Fane Gladwin, who had married
Miss Sophia Mellish, a distant kins
woman of the lady who had honored
Mr. Villiers with her affection and
her wealth. Mr. Gladwin leaves
three sons and two daughters.
AINCE BELANGED TO BURNS
Hoot I 81c a Find! A Drinkln’ Horn
Wl’ Doubtless Mony a Dram
Took Oot O’.
A Manchester man has informed
the worl’ that he has quite a lot o’
furniture that since belanged to the
poet, Bums. He has three tables,
an armchair, a fiddle-back chair,
an’ a plain chair, a comer cupboard,
a grandfather clock, an’ a chest o’
drawers. What a chance this is for
the Bums clubs to distinguish them
sel’s! There hasna been sic a Bums
“find” sin’ the poet left the lan’ o’
the livin’, for, besides, the bits o’
furniture there is a sword that the
poet had when he was an exciseman,
an’ a drinkin’ horn, that likely he
took mony a dram oot o’.
Saj there ye are. The Manchester
BANKS CCUNTY IOUKNAL, IMMKK.GA.,
man lias ever sac mony papers to
prove that the things are the real
Mac Kay. But why did they lie in
Manchester until noo? Why didna
the Manchester man tell lang ago
that he had them, an’ why did lie
no see their value frae the first? In
a case o’ this kind, 1 think the Bums
clubs should test a’ the proofs afore
they spend any money. For there
seem to he niair things connected wi’
Burns aboot than the poet could e’er
hae had in his possession.—Montreal
Star.
ACCOUNTED FOR.
“You mean to tell me you can’t
pay me any alimony?” said the en
raged wife.
“No 1 can’t.” was the man’s reply.
“But when- I married you 1 sup
posed you had a lot of money.”
“I had then.”
DOUBTFUL.
“Smith says he has his wife thor
oughly tamed. Has he?”
“Well, I’ve seen her come up to
him and take money out of his
hand.”
PROPER WAY.
“That girl of mine spends her
whole time dressing up.”
“Then what she needs is a dressing
down.”
A SURMISE.
“Why do they have such a laun
dry plant in this prison?”
“I suppose it is where they wash
and iron the convicts.”
ITS KIND.
“I see that trust is going to cut a
melon.”
“Judging from its stock, it must
be a watermelon.”
HORRIBLE CONFESSION
“Are you an optimist?”
“No. What’s the use of worrying
yourself to death trying to find some
thing to be cheerful for?”
LEAD IN LIFE INSURANCE.
The life insurance of the people of
the United States is more than
double that of all the other countries
pi the world combined.
VARIED METHODS OF DANCING
Nations of the World Have Never
Been Able to Agree on Any One
Principal Movement.
The mm and women of race#
spread all over the world liave shown
a marvelous skill and patience in im
parting rhythm and music to the
most unlikely, the most rebellious re
gions of the body, all wrought by
desire into potent and dazzling im
ages. To the vigorous races of
northern Europe in their cold, damp
climate, dancing comes naturally to
he dancing of the legs, so naturally
that the English poet, as a matter
of course, assumes that the dance of
Salome was a “twinkling of the
feet.” But on the opposite side of
the world, in Japan and notably in
Java and Madagascar, dancing may
be exclusively dancing of the arms
and hands, in some South Sea
islands even of the hands and fingers
alone. Dancing may even be carried
on in the seated posture, as occurs
in Fiji in a dance connected with
the preparation of the sacred drink,
ava. In some districts of southern
Tunisia dancing, again, is dancing of
the hair, and all night long, till they
perhaps fall exhausted, the mar
riageable girls will move their
heads to the rhythm of a song,
maintaining their hair in perpetual
balance and sway. Elsewhere, not
ably in Africa, but also sometimes in
Polynesia, as well as in the dances
that had established themselves in
ancient Borne, dancing is dancing of
tlie body, with vibratory or rotatory
movements of breasts or flartks.—
Havelock Ellis, in the Atlantic.

SUGAR FROM SAWDUST.
Iri the course of a paper read be
fore the London Royal Society of
Arts, M. Zimmerman described a
process by which sugar might be
manufactured from sawdust. In its
natural state, he pointed out, wood
contains no sugar, but when sawdust
lias been subjected in closed retorts
to digestion with a weak sulphurous
acid solution under pressure of six
to seven atmospheres, a very remark
able transmutation takes place, as
much as 25 per cent, of the material
being converted into sugar. In this
M. Zimmerman claims that we have
a valuable feeding stuff for horses,
cattle and sheep.
BEYOND RECALL.
“Are you people in favor of the
recall?”
“It wouldn’t do us any good,” said
the South American diplomat.
“When our presidents skip to Eu
rope they never come back.”
HIB RETURN.
“Yes, it took me about six months’
hard work learning to work this
aeroplane.”
“And what have you got for your
pains ?”
“Arnica.” —Ideas.
DRESBING-ROOM CONFIDENCE.
Myrtle— How can you stand that
Jack Brazen, Mary? I think he’s
the limit.
Mary—Well, he’s got a 60-horse
power car, My rile, an’ you can’t ex
pect everything.—Judge.
GREAT THINGS.
“Old Rockyhilt is a great benefac
tor,” said the Boob. “He has done
a lot of good things.”
“ Yes,” replied the Grouch. "I’m
one pf them.”
ALL THE BAME.
Wilkins — A dollar is a good thing
to have around when one’s hungry.
B.Hikins—l’d just as soon have
one oblong.
