PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY A CURIOUS WILL It Forces s Happy Family Under Pe culiar Conditions. An extraordinary will has been left by an elderly unmarried lady who died in Vienna. Her property, amounting to about £50.000, is appointed to be di vided between her three nephews, now j aged twenty-four, twenty-seven and twenty-nine, and her three nieces, aged nineteen, twenty-one and twenty-two, in equal parts on the following condi tions: The six nephews and nieces must all live In the house formerly inhabited by tlieir aunt, with the executor, a law yer, whose business It will be to see I hat the conditions of the will are ►0 rictly observed. None of the neph ews is to marry before reaching his fortieth year or the nieces before their thirtieth, under the penalty that the share of the one so marrying will be divided among the others. Further, the sis legatees are admon ished never to quarrel among them selves. If one should do so perslstent ly the executor in empowered to turn him or her out of the house and divide the share as in the case of marriage. The executor Is himself forbidden to j marry or to reside elsewhere than in the house with the legatees as long as he holds his office, to which a hand some remuneration Is attached. The old maid is said to have made this peculiar will because her uephews and nieces continually worried her during her life by askiug her to give them money to enable them to marry, requests she always refused.—London Express. OLD MAN HARE. The Actor's Meeting With Gladstone Outside the Theater. John Hare, the eminent English actor-manager, said that the most de lightful compliment he ever received was from Mr. Gladstone. It was a double ended compliment. Whichever way you took it it was satisfactory. .Mr. Hare earned fame playing old men's parts, his character as Mr. Gold by in "A Pair of Spectacles" being a good example. Added to this was a horror of having his picture taken. Mr. Gladstone had never seen a pic ture of the actor, but he knew him well behind the scenes as well as be fore the footlights. The premier's fa vorite play was "A Pair of Specta cles," and he always went behind the scenes to chat awhile with the actor The really old man and the made up old man would sit there and talk in the most delightful way for an hour after the show. One day the Earl of llosebery had Mr. Gladstone to dinner, and he also invited his friend John Hare. The actor came in smooth shaved, looking about thirty-five. He was presented to Mr. Gladstone, and the prime min ister shook his hand most cordially and said: "My dear sir, 1 am very, very glad to meet you. I know your father very, very well Splendid actor! Fine old man!" It took the whole evening for the earl and Mr. Hare to convince him that this son was really the father. Reason and Instinct. A certain north country miner was particularly proud of a clever little dog he possessed. At times he-was apt to claim a little too much for his pet. and one morning a neighbor was en deavoring to point out the difference between instinct and reason when ati amusing interruption occurred. A seedy lookh.g tramp turned the corner, and the dog. without so much as a word from his master, sprang into the road and offered battle. "There you are," laughed the miner as the dog ; napped and snarled around the heels of the tramp. "'E don't like the looks of the chap. That's Instinct." Suddenly the tramp turned and kick ed the dog Into an adjacent field. "There you are," ejaculated the min er's friend grimly. "The chap don't like the looks of the dog. An' that's reason."—Loudon Tit-Bits. Two Strange Coincidences. A structure known as Stoodley Pike, which stands ninety yards high and is situated near Hebden bridge. England, has a remarkable history. It was built iti 1814 to commemorate the peace of Ghent. Singular to relate, however. It fell ou the very day that the Rus sian ambassador left England prior to the Crimean war. Rebuilt by public subscription, it withstood storm and rain for half a century, but on the same day that the British government Issued its ultimatum to the Boers It was struck by lightning and badly damaged. These unique coincidences have strangely perplexed local people. —Strand Magazine. Pandemonium. "They are going to lock Jones up for tli'» good of the community."

A RARE COIN. It Is Called a "Misstrike" and la Very Seldom Seen. "See this penny I got today at the postoffice," said the cashier. "There aren't five other pennies like It In the United States." He handed out a cent piece with the die impression half off the face of the coin and with a big half inoon of blank metal showing along one side "They cnll It a misstrike." he con tinued. "Perhaps once In 10,000.000 times the two little notched fingers on the minting machines that grip the blank disk ami draw it forward to the die fall to spring away. In this case the left hand linger stuck and pushed the coin halfway over the die. That Is how the impression is only half <>u the disk. "You can see the raised edge on the blank portion of the metal." the cash ier went on as he took up his pen. "It Isn't everybody knows that each coin goes under the dies twice. The first time It is struck with a blank, dome shaped set of dies to put an edge ou the disk. Then It gets the regular die with the familiar head on It. "What's it worth? Oh. I'll say prob ably $25 or so. I see if s been In cir culation for nine years. It's a wonder some coin collector hasn't nabbed It. I'm going to keep It as a rarity."— New York Times. SENSE OF HEARING. Sound Waves and the Way They Act Upon the Ears. The detection of the direction of a sound by the sense of hearing is, like the rapid focusing of the eye on ob jects at different distances, one of those instinctive operations which are continually done without any conscious method. Sound waves traverse the air as rip ples stir the water, and the ear by ex perience acquires some slight power of detecting the direction In one case, as the eyo does with far greater accuracy In the other. Osually we unconscious ly receive assistance from other senses as well. Often we fail to locate at once some hidden source of sound, such as a singing bird, and then our Instinctive ingenuity displays Itself. The intensity of sound Is, of course, by no means so great behind a screen as in front of it, and every one carries ■with him the screen of his own head, which may prevent a particular souud from being heard so well by one ear as by the other. If, then, the head is turned until this Inequality disappears and both ears hear equally well we know that we must be directly facing or turned from the source of sound, and our i>revious rough idea of its whereabouts generally prompts us to face it Wind and Temper. There is a closer connection between wind and temper than at first sight ap pears. A coldish wind has a bracing effect and, ou the whole, is beneficial. In countries where hot winds occur I>eriodically. on the other hand, these are regarded as a nuisance, if not a curse. Every one almost gets cross, weary and done up and has a head ache daily. In Egypt the season when crimes are commonest is when the hot Ichamseen blows. Nearly always dur ing a severe sirocco the Arabs in Al geria were restless, if they did not at tempt an actual rising. The solano. which now and then rushes across the Mediterranean in fiery blasts from Africa, upsets every one in Spain ami Is the worst wind In that country. And even in the Pearl of the An tilles the tierce hot wind is such a post that it is recorded of a family •*<ng in Havana that they made it a rule in the household to preserve ab solute silence until the wind disap peared. It was the only plan they could think of to avoid family quar rels. Profane History. "Pop!" "Well, what is it now? If It's fool ish questiou No. 9,697 I'll spank you and put you to bed." "No, pop; 1 Just want to know what is profane history." "Profane history, eh? Well—Wa it's Just a term to distinguish it from sacred history." "But why is it called profane, pop?" "How the—that is. how do I know! I suppose it—say, you know when lit tle George Washington cut down his father's pet cherry tree?" "Yes, pop." "Well, what little Georgie's father said to little Georgle is profane his tory. 1 should think you could get your lessons without bothering me with your fool questions."—New York Times. Encouraging. A Philadelphia clergyman tells of an Incident in connection with his first visit to a towu In Pennsylvania, where he expected to be called as pas tor. While tramping along a dusty road he was so fortunate as to encounter a man In a wagon who gave him a lift.
