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. i t j - 1 . 1 i. >»»'» ■■r. . r ) Miao why don’t you <S *Mii» because lie has no brains—and he can’t ride, dance or play tennis.

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.

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, you teem ta forget thatlam a Methodist and believe in. the doctrine of felling from grace? ” Beata the Tank Draann.

I had a position on the mountain side where I could see every movement of the bear in the sparsely timbered valley below me The critter carried the doad cow in her fore paws for at least three miles, across jagged, sharp rocks ten feet high, over fallen logs, around the rooky mountain tides, where even a jackass could not get a foothold, to a narrow trail up the steep mountain. She never stopped to rest for a moment, but went right along. I followed, and just about half a mile from the beast’s lair w -I laid her low.

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 Was looking tor Barry’s guns. “Andi suppose,” he said, “your friends ask, ‘Who co earth was General Mc- Dowell?’” Sir W.

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. A Itiaaous BagUsh Inn.
