(in of the deceased intestate, so that his estate may be wound up by the Administrator so appointed, and those persons entitled thereto should i get their respective shares of the estate lof the deceased. To do this. the per- Ison applying for Letters of Adminis- i tration must put in a bond by himself iand two sureties, in double the value of the whole estate, that he will pay 5 all the just debts of the deceased and idistrihute the remaining property [among those entitled thereto. This is ! an expensive proceeding, and takes so much money from the estate. If the 2 man or women leaves a will, he or she has the right and privilege to say to 1 whom. and in what proportions his or j her estate shall go, and devolve upon. 3 Every person, hoWever, making a will i must bear in mind that they must be i just before they are generous and all 3 property devolves on the executor if a ‘ will is made, or the Administrator is Q the person dies intestate "Subject to 1 the debts and liabilities of the deceas- jed.” it Would therefore seem to me that it is not only an advisable but a [H'l‘t'lllptOI'y duty for every one who has property of any kind, either real or ; personal, to make a will directing the disposition of his property after his death. There is another matter that: I would like to draw the attention of 1 your readers to, and it is this: The words used in a will, as in all legal documents, have received from the de- cision of legal tribunals and from cus- tom adetinitc and distinct meaning, and it is only a “ learned lawyer” whoi knows the right way to use them. ' Therefore do not go to any Tom Dick and Harry of so called unlicensed com, \ eyance rs to have \ our will drawn by i ! them Pruhance to objects of your bounty or those \\ ho lime a claim on you as re latiy r s or other wise, may and very often do find that from the inar- tistic and ignorant way that the will is drawn, the intention of the Testator is wholly defeated, and the property goes in an altogether different way than was intended by the Testator. l \\'e have passed through the sever- est week we have experienced for years. Snow bound in all directions. All hands turned out on Thursday last with shoVels and teams but our work 'as in vain, for the next day the roads were as full as ever. Some were in hopes that the new moon would bring tine weather, but not so far. Roads have to he made through fields and in all directions, for in some places it is impossible to break them on the pro- per roads.

Thackeray thought there was nothing to equal it. Louis Stevenson, in the Cevennes, made the same discovery, for his donkey cannot be said to count. Jean Paul Richter. though he did not live in touring times. was too accom- plished an individualist (of the senti- mental kind) not to harp on this music- al string. “I hold the constant regard that we pay in all our actions to the judgment of others as the poison of our peace, our reason and our virtue." Translated into plainer speech, Richter's words may read thus. “Unless you can have your own way life is but a poison- ed puddle.” â€" _-. -. ‘f9,_ v_r___s Cnrzon, Stanley, De Windt, Miss Kingsley, Landor and a host of smaller men and women have acted on the same assumption.

Jorevin de Rochefort, who published in Paris in 1671 an account of his trav- els in England, tells the following: “While we were walking about the town (Worcester) he asked me if it was the custom in France as in England that when the children went to school they carried in their satchel with their books a pipe of tobacco, which their mothers took care to fill early in the morning, it serving them instead of breakfast, and that at the accustomed hour every one laid aside his book to light his pipe, the master smoking with them and teaching them how to hold their pipes and draw in the tobacco.” In England at the time of the great plague it was reported that no one liv- ing in a tobaccouist’s house fell sick of the disease. This caused a great de- mand for tobacco. Hearne says in his diary, “I remember that I heard for- merly Tom Rogers, who was yeoman beadle, say that when he was a school- boy at Eton that. year when the plague raged all the boys of that school were obliged to smoke every morning and that he was never whipped so much in his life as he was one morning for not smoking.” A Garden of Milk. The Milk garden of Frankfort. re- served for the children of that aristo- cratic city, is in itself one of the most democratic of places. Here rich peo- ple who wish to be relieved for a time of the presence of their children send them, accompanied by their nurses. Here also poor people who can neither afl’ord to devote their own time to their children nor hire separate nurses for them may bring their little ones, cer- tain that from the garden nurses they will receive all the care and attention necessary to safety, health and amuse. meat. Private nurses of the rich people and public nurses of the working people are subject to a supervision sufficient to protect the children of all classes from cruelty and neglect. The only food fur- nished in the garden is milk, whose freshness and purity are assured, inas- much as it is drunk warm from the mild eyed cows which occupy stalls on one edge of the field.
