W. T. Shaman. Very plain and unremantic appears this document in the type of a newspaper. Around it, however, is woven a story full of dramatic interest. It has come some- where from the unknown, dropped, as it were, from the skies. In the name of God. men. I, J. Holt, of the city of Washington. D. 0.. being of sound mind. declare this to be my last will and testament. WHO Joseph Holt, judge advocate general during the exciting years of the war, counsel for the government in the Surratt trial, died in Washington on the lst of August, 1894. He was then an old man. All the prominent actors who had been associated with him on the nation’s trou- bled stage were dead and gone. Quoru- lous, eccentric, solitary, he lived tile life of a. hermit in his house, associating only with his faithful colored servants. When he died, he seemed to have left no will. At least none could be found, al- though books and private papers were thoroughly searched and closets and cubby holes ransacked. Consequently upon the petition of the next of kin of the deceased the National Safe Deposit Savings and Trust company was appointed adminis- JOSEPH HOLT. trator. The company has performed this office ever since. Though it has been in charge of the estate for a year, the com- pany has only distributed the sum of $39,- 1 x__ A. ‘4‘.” mkinh id puny um vu-J --.... _. - 000 among the heirs at law, which is scarcely felt; from the total of the entire property. So far the story runs smoothly enough. From the grave, however, the dead seems to have spoken. , -L- _:n.. can-"1 LU HibV'U ayunvu.

Where did it come from? That is a mys- tery. Perhaps no one will ever know.

THE WATCHMAN, LINDSAY, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 19TH, 1895. the register o: wms has received an en- velope very similar in appearance and ad- dress to the. one which contained the will. It contained a. scrap of paper, on which was written in the same rough printed characters anote to the eflect that full par- ticulars of the Holt will would be given for $1,000 cash. He did not believe that the note came from the same person who had sent the will, but looked upon it as a Valuable Hints on an Important Article of Dress. Have three small clean cloths, a. basin bf water, a. bottle of cosmoline, vase- line, petroleum jellyâ€"or whatever name you like to call it, it is all the sameâ€" hoax. The shoes should be wiped as free of mud as possible before drying and should be hung in a warm current of air, say two or three feet above a regis- ter' 01: stovepipe, not underneath the kitchen range, where they will be scorched on top and wet undemeeth. _ When they are perfectly dry, wipe the mud stains off with a damp cloth. Be sure to get them all ofl. Then rub hard with a dry cloth, then polish yvith the brush, being careful about the stitching and. an ~1nd the sole. It is best to do only a. pan at a time, say first the vamp, one side, men the other, not for- getting the heel. Unless your shoes have been badly scuffed and rotted by bad shoe dressing they will look almost like new. Now rub cosmoline over them with a clean cloth and rub it well in. Use it liberal- ly, for too little will only destroy the polish, while plenty of cosmoline im- proves it. The whole shoe should be carefully done, even among the buttons and buttonholes, and, presto, your shoes are soft, pliable, black and just polish- ed enough to look well, will not stain your unaerclothes or fingers when put- ting them on, and a little water will do them no harm. 7 Try it once, and you will never want to do it any other way. How to Make Tutti Fruttl. Get from a distillery a. pint of the purest alcohol, pour into a jar and put into it a quart of firm, large strawber- ries, free from every particle of sand or dust, and a quart of. granulated sugar. â€"-, Stir gently several times during the day. Next day add -a quart of red cur- rants, stemmed, and the same quantity of sugar. 0n the third day add red cher- ries, pitted, and on the fourth red rasp- berries. Stir frequently every day, let- ting the spoonreach the bottom of the jar. Every time fruit is added put in same quantity of sugar. Along with the raspberries put in 5 large bananas, sliced thin. On the fifth day peel a pineapple, remove every particle of the eyes, place in a. good sized earthen dish and shred fine. Pour over it a bowl of sugar and ‘ stir the whole into the mixture. Later, when peaches are large and fine, peel 2 quarts, cut into pieces about half an inch square and add with a quart of sugar. There is no cooking of the fruit or heating of the alcohol. Simply stir in the fruit in its normal state. It does not need to be sealed, but must be kept in a. cool place. In a week or ten days it will be ready for use. These preserves are the finest ever made and are par- ticularly nice when served at dinner with the meat course. , How to Write 3 Letter. In a formal letter the date, including place of residence, is placed at the top of the letter. In a note sent to an in- ‘ timate friend it should be placed toward the left hand in the line below the sig- ' nature. A note of invitation is dated in the same place. See that a margin of about one-fourth of an inch is allowed to the left of the body of the letter. A formal letter should begin with the ad- dress of the correspondent. Otherwise it may begin with the salutation, “My ‘ dear friend,” or ”Dear Mary,” etc. ; Observe that an elder addressing a younger person or friend may prOperly write “My Dear Mrs. Brown. ” It would argue not a nicer sense of pro- priety for a younger lady or gentleman to address an older lady or gentleman as “My Deaer. James,” or “My Dear Miss Smith.” It should be “Dear Mr. Jones,” “Dear Miss Smith. ” The nicer sl..xde of distinction can hardly be ex- plained. It may be felt. How to Make Mushrooms a. la Tout. Put the contents of a can or a quart of fresh ones in a. saucepan with sum- cient water to cover. Boil 20 minutes. Add a pint of milk, butter size of an egg, salt to taste; then stir in a table- spoonful of flour, first made smooth in a little cold milk, and boil just a min- ute; then remove from the fire. Now toast, by placing in a. hot oven as many slices of bread, 4 to 6 inches square, as there are persons to be served. Butter the toast and place on a. warm plate single and dish the mushrooms and i gravy over the toasted bread and serve.

It ivas thought that this would in some measure counteract the tendency of men and women to become humpbacked. It did not occur to them that this deformity was due to the ex- haustion of physical energy and not to carelessness on the part of the individ- ual. Round shoulders and hollow chests are due to the relaxation of the muscles of the back, and no amount of straight- ening up will remove the cause. When the muscles of the back become weak from loss of energy, the muscles of the chest naturally pull the shoulders for- ward. To restore the body to a perpen- dicular position the muscles of the back 1 must have their energy restored. Lying flat down and stretched out at full length is the most restful position the human body can take, because it re- quires no efiort whatever to maintain this pose. _ . - .-- q The Japanese understand this, and they make good use of their knowledge. Instead of having their house\ full of stifi backed chairs, they spread soft rugs, skins or cushions on the floor or low platforms, upon which they recline when resting, reading or whiling away the time. In this way they step the waste of the energy necessary to 1: one in a bolt upright position. The bl circulates more freely, because there is no tension on the limbs. This reduces the labor of the heart to a minimum. The energy thus saved goes to restore tired or weakened organs or to the in- ivigoration of the brain. A n ”-12-â€" We must rid ourselves of the notion that it is a. sign of laziness to lie down or lounge about on the floor or not or bed; also that it is not proper for wom- an to lie down when tired. Were our women in the habit of tak- ing more rest, and taking it properly, they would not be compelled to wear stays in order to keep them straight. Having to wear these constantly, the muscles of the chest and back do not develop normally and are therefore weaker than other muscles of the body. â€"-Pittsburg Commercial Gazette. How to Keep Dresses Fresh. The best way to keep a very nice and delicate dress is to make a. bag of mus- lin large enough to hold the dress as it would hang in the closet. Shirr up the bag and run a busting, or cord, through it. Pass the string through the hangers in the belt of the dress to hang it up in the closet.
