SOME PECULIAR BEQUESTS ANO CURI
OUS CONDITIONS.
| *—
A Pafriofle America,*! Desire to Be
Heard After Death - Will. Which
Proved That In the Caaea of Their
Makers Marria*e Was a Pallare.
The admiration of our Americau coua
ins for their country la a prominent
characteristic their daily life, and
some years ago a Mr. Sanborn desired
that in death as in life his body should
proclaim the glcry of the republic. He
left £l,oool> the late Professor Agassiz,
in return for which he was, by an ex
tremely scientific process set forth in
the wUI, to ton his (Sanborn’s) skin
into leathqnand from it have a drum
made. Two of the most suitable bones
of his body were to be made into drum
stiqftAnd wjth these a Mr. Warren
Simpson—to whom Sanborn left the re
mainder of his property—- was “on every
17th of June to repair to the foot of
Bunker hill and at sunrise beat on the
drum, the parchment of which had been
made out, of tha testator’s skin, the
spirit stirring strains of ’Yankee Doo
dle.’’’
A somewhat similar bequest was
made by a German in 1887. He died in
Pittsburg and by his will directed that
his body should be cremated and the
ashes forwarded to the German consul
at New York, who was to deliver them
to the captain of the steamship Elbe.
When in midocean, the euptain was to
request a passenger to dress himself In
nautical costume, and, ascending with
the Juneral urn to the topmast, to scat
ter the ashes to the four winds of heav
en. These strange directions were faith
fully carried out.
Quite as peculiar were the directions
for the funeral of a Mr. John Under
wood. He willed . that he was to be
buried in a green coffin with a copy of
Horace under his head and of Milton
finder his feet, a Greek testament in
' his right hand and a small Horace in
his left Six friends, who were not to
wear mourning, were to follow him to
the gxave and. there to stag a verse of
the tweutieto ode of the second book of
Horace. After this they were to “take
a cheerful glass and think no more of
John Underwood.” ;
Wills may also be admitted as evi
dence of the mixed blessings of the
matrimonial state. A nobleman wrote,
“I give and bequeath to the worst of
women, whom I unfortunately married,
45 brass halfpence, which will buy her
a pullet for supper. ”
A Glasgow doctor, dying some ten
years ago, left the whole of his estate to
his two sisters, and then came thia ex
traordinary clause: “To my wifet as,a
recompense for deserting me and leav
ing me in peace, I expect the said sister
Elizabeth to make her a gift of 10 shil
lings sterling, to buy her a pocket hand
kerchief to weep in after my decease.”
A Mr. Sydney Dickenson bequeathed
to his wife the sum of £60,000, “on
condition that aim undertakes to pass
two hours a day at my graveside, for
the ten years following my decease, in
company with her sister, whom I have
reason to k»ow ahe loathes WOTse than
shedMms|'v li 1 I ?*| '.JI Al
Anotner husband stated that hdwoald
have left his widow £IO,OOO if she had
allowed him to read his newspaper in
peace, but as she always commenced
playing and singing when he started to
read he left her only £I,OOO. Such in
stances oonld be mntiplied indefinitely,
but one other is worthy of note.
A husband left his wife £12,000, to be
increased to £24.000 provided that she
wore a widow’s cap after his death. She
accepted the larger amount, wore the
cap for six months, and then ppt it off.
A lawsuit followed, but the judge held
that the testator should have inserted
the word “always” and gave judgment
in favor of the widow, who the day aft
er re-entered the state of matrimony.
Thus the husband’a* little plan for pre
venting his widow marrying againlail
ed.
But the most curious will which the
writer has ever come across is that of
M. Zaleaky, a Polish landlord, who died
in 1889, leaving property valued at
100,000 rubles. HiS will was inclosed in
an envelope beauty the words, .‘i To Bq
Opened After My Death. ” Infifie this
was another envelope, “To Be Opened
Six Weeks After My Death. ” When this
time had passed, thra second envelope
was opened and a third uncovered, “To
Be Opened One Year After My Death. ”
At the end of the year a fourth en
velope was discovered, to be opened two
yearn after the testator’s death, and so
the game want on until 1894, when the
actual will was discovered and read.
It was quite as eccentric fn its disposi
tions as. the directions attached to its
opeuiag. The testator .bequeathed half
his fortune to such at Ms heirs as had
the largest nnmbti of children. The
rest of the property was to te placed in
a bank and a hundred years after his
drath to be divided, with the accumu
lated interest, among the will maker’s
descendants. Thus by 1989, at 5 per
cent compound interest, the 50,000 ru
bles will have swelled into S, 000,000
rubies. But what wiU this be among so
many descendants?—Household Words.

AUSTRALIAN SHEEP YARDS.
Wark That Is I4ko War m Grnsral StiMk
■saa Deseribed ths latter.
The shearing season in the wool coun
tries, says a writer in The Sketah, is the
most Important and the busiest of any
which occur in sheep rearing. Tbs swag
man has an opportunity which ho does not
Uke and usually disregards, and the Eng
lish cadet has no reasonable excuse to re
main idle. The openlngof the sheds is not
simultaneous, for, as the hot weather
comes down from the equator, those runa
away back—where it Is too hot to ounn
and one never sees the kangaroo start
cutting out some weeks before sheep walks
In less temperature, but cooler regions.
The shearers and the musterers travel in
their own mobs and In many cases work
the same circuit. Shearing tn Australia
is earlier than in New Zealand, so much
so that when the merry band has tallied
out the oontracts with the "cornstalk,”
“gum chewing" and “banana*’ squatters
of New South Wales, Victoria and Queens
land it ships to Maoriland and, plying the
blades on the sheep of the Three Islands,
returns in time for the early wool clips
among the God forgotten books of Queens
land. . .
Prior to the shearing is the sheep mus
tering. For weeks the homestead has been
bathed in red clouds of sand, which rise
from the drafting yards as the sheep play
“silly devils" when they are worked. The
yarders with despair written on their faces
know.that they are coming to the end of
their oaths and the dogs to the limits of
their endurance. Drafting on cool days is
possible and may be compassed with but
few detonationsof a sulphurouscharaotov,
but on a scorcher, when meat can be cook
ed on the zinc roofs and blisters are raised
by the drinking water, yard work of any
description Is—hell, to accept the merest
and Inadequate Australasian colloquial
ism. The wool washing crow is another
band of experts who "hump the billy’’ from
shed to shed. They scour the wood and
attend to drying and packing.
In New Zealand fleeces are baled up
without washing, but the sands of Aus
tralia increase the weight so much that
the expenses would swamp the returns.
The bales will hold about 7S fleeces,
though this is no hard and fast rule. An
approximate value is £lO, and tho carriage
price is all contract The groan of the
wheels, the oracking of the whips, the
creak of the load, denote that the clip is
almost gathered, and when the journey
begins the patient bullocks work with a
will till they drop on tho burning sand,
exhausted by the scanty food, tho short
ness of water, pitlless sun and the
strain of the weight, journey is al
ways a far one on those back runs, but
Where they ship by barges the monotony
contains a pleasant change. To load the
barge and slowly to float down the stream
is an idleness which all men appreciate.
To lie upon a bale and gaze upon tho
snow topped mountain range, the winding
river, the forests on the slopes, the undu
lating paddocks melting into space, to
listen to the bleating of the sheep, the low
ing of the cattle, the neighing of the
horses, engenders a passion for the life,
which seems supremo. It is finer than the
life of cities. It lifts the idle dreamer to a
paradise of nature where, with gun and
rod, horse and dog, he can enjoy sport. In
dulge tastes and love animals.

The President Believes I* Pevglvoaeos.
In The Ladles’ Home Journal an illus
trated anecdotal biography of President
McKinley Is published, and among the se
ries of characteristic anecdotes Is one by a
personal friend which goes to prove tho
president’s Methodism and tostteto his
quickness at repartee and hte love of hu
mor. “President McKinley has always
shown the highest degree of generosity
toward his political opponents,” Says tho
writer. “While governor of Ofcio hewas
about to appoint to an exalted and lucra
tive office a man who for many years had
been his ardent supporter, but who had
deserted him and gone over to the enemy
at a critical period. Later, when thatorit-
Ical period had passed, the deserter Ripped
back into his party and remained unno
ticed until he became n candidate for office.
Many of Governor McKinley’s loyal friends
earnestly protested sdsttyt his appoint
ment. They arguefi (hat the man had
been a tnfttor when he War meet needed,
and that he was not entitled t/a considera
tion. The governor’s race lighted up with
a smile, and, taking his cigar from' be
tween hls lips, he remarked ‘Gentlemen,

and believe in. the doctrine of felling from

a big grizzly bear m the act of carrying
a dead cow home to her oub. I had a

could see every movement of the bear in

The critter carried the doad cow in her

jagged, sharp rocks ten feet high, over
fallen logs, around the rooky mountain

General MuDswsHi
I have never met any one who gave
me a stronger impression of honesty and
sincerity than Irvin McDowell. He was
then in the prime of life—4o or 48 years
old—powerfully built, but rather pon
derous in movement, kindly and sim
ple in manner, with a very pleasant,
soldierly face, a water drinker and al
most a vegetarian. After the cruel war
was over I met him one day in some
foreign city—Vienna, I think—and as
we were conversing he said, “Strange,
isn’t it, our encounter today?”
"Why so, general?”
“Have you forgotten? This is the
21st of July—the anniversary of Bull
Run. Had I won that battle I would
have been one of the most popular men
in the United States and you would
have been another. I need not say how
much it is the other way with us now. ”
But Ido not think his countrymen
blamed Mm after all. When I went to
the United States some years ago, I
found him in command at San Francis
co—much changed, aged and sad, but
courteous and kindly as ever. I told
Mm that I had in a place of honor at
home the photograph which he gave me
before he left my lodgings the day Le

. A Great Sereamst.
More than 50 years ago Lachlan Mc-
Donald left his home in Strathspey,
Scotland, and went to the shores of Lake
Winnipeg. He did not neglect to carry
with him his beloved bagpipe, and many
an evening it spoke to Mm of the old
home beyond the seas.
Even in the daytime, when he was
busy in the woods felling trees, he
would have it by Ms tide, and on one
occasion he had reason to be glad that
it was so near.
He was merrily swinging Ms ax,
whan he was suddenly surrounded by a
party of Indians, who looked very for
midable as they drew nearer, gesticu
lating in a particularly threatening
manner. Things began to seem ominous,
when a happy thought came to the
Scotchman.
Seizing his bagpipe, he blew a blast
so loud and long and shrill that the
startled red men looked upon him far a
moment in consternation and then took
to their heels, never stopping till the
thick ahgdows of the forest hid them
from the man who could give vent to
such an unearthly scream.
They did not forget that prolonged
cry; from that time the Scotchman -was
known among them as “the great
screamer of the palefaces.”—Exchange.
