how the Lord will get along wit-hout

s t centUry a Lancashire gentleman,
after baing very humbly given his
bhdy to worms whioh fed fat in his
family valt begqeathed "imn ounce of
modesty to the:authors of. the London
JourA( and F'ree. B1riton, being "con
vinced that an ounce will be found
more than -t ever will 'wake use of."
W,at th1ig be' thought of a testator
wl4o save to certain persons "as many
acres of land as shall be found equal to
the-area inclosed by the track of the
centre of ailatioh of the earth in a
revolution round the sun, supposing the
ruean distance of the sun. 21,600 semi
diameters of the earth from it?" Such
an individual would be regarded as a
bedlamite, and there would be. no dill
cutlty in breaking the will as emanating
from, one of unsound imind, even if nc
undue influence could be proved.
A German bequeathed his money to
a poor man whom he detested, on con
dition that lie always wore thin white
linen clotlies without any extra under
elothing. Stanislaus " Poltzmarz of
Pest", Hungary, left the greater part
of hit fortune to a Hungarian notary,
forbidding him, however, to take pos
session until, he had sung in - La Scala
or San Carlo Opera House the parts of
Rossini's"Oteto" and Elviiio in "Son
nambula..' 'Poltzmarz,--who was 80
years of age when lie executed his will
wrote: "I do not dispose of:my wealth
in this manner for the sake of - being
thought an original, but having beeu
present four years ago at an evening
party,ih Vienna, I heard M, Lotz fing

no record can be found at hand of the
success of thb lucky M, Lotz on the
lyric stage.

The will.of gno Gptrland, who died in:
Ionioi ' in June, 1828, ebntaths this
cluise: "I bequeath - to my u(oinkey

Johi George, bf Lambeth, set down
in his will: 9'Whereas. it hath been
my misfortune to be made very uneasy
by Elizabeth George, my wife, for many
years, from our marriage, by her turbu
lent behavior; for she was not content
with despising my admonitions; but
contrived every method to make me
unhappy. She was so perverse in her
nature t,hat she would be not reclaimed,
but seemed only to be born to be a p)la
gue to me. The strength of Samson,
the knowledge of Homer, the prudence
of Augustus, the cunning of Pyrrhus,
the patience of Job, the subtlety of
Hlannibal and the watchfujness of Her
mogehies, could .not have sualiced to
subdue her; for no skill or force in the
world would do her good. Anid as wve
have lived separate and apart from
each other for eight years, and she hav
ipg perverted her son to leave and total
ly abandon me, therefore I give her one
shilling only." Elizabetih was, ho
doubt, a termnagant, and in all ihoba
bility deserved no more of a legacy than
wvas loft her.
How Bandanas ago aade,
The material of which the bandana
(a Spailsh word) is made is either silk
or cotton, and is dyed in different col
ors-more .commonly red, but some-.
times also yellow and blue, with round
or -diamond-shape'd spots all over it.
The process of the manufacture of the
bandana is this: The material is first
dyed the desired color, and a pile of
the handkerchiefs is tlien put into a
press b,etween two copper' plates,, one
of p'htogi is fastened to the top apd the
otlier i ) the bottom of :*the press.

of picturesque magnificence as is 'not t<

save in the dreams of one who has been
reading "The Count of Monte
Cristo."
Such costumes were never seen be
fore, and the value of the jewels worn
was to be reckoned by millions of dol,
lars. A conspicuous figure was Mme,
Gautherau, the noted Creole beauty
She was dressed as Cupid, and ol
course .her raiment was exceedingly
scanty.- But she was literglly inorusted
with gold and gems. The abbreviated
skirts of: her costume were actualli
made of pure gold, spun and wovei
into gauze so delicate that it was not
much heavier than sifk.
Another much admired costume
was that of the famous beauty, Mme,
Barn trdaki. She was a Diana. Het
bodice was of blue velvet. and het
skirt of white satin, and every stitel
in the seams of these was marked by a
diam6nd or a sapphire.
Hanging over her shoulder was a
panther's skin, and her hair was pow
dered, not with diamond dust, but
with diamonds And sapphires as big ai
peas, all held in place by a network o:
gold thread. She had on her person
more t,han $250,000 worth of precioul
stones.
Mile. Marie Van Zandt, the Ameri
can singer, was esteemed one of the
most beautiful women Dresent.
. Mme. Pasta, the actress, wore a se
of real imperial Russian sables, one o:
less than a. dozen sets in the worlk
owned by persons outside of -royalty
She had also a marvelous coronet o
pearls and diamonds, said to be worti
more than $100 000. -

Of the-place of the umbrella in the

can not adduce a more striking in
stance than the recognized testimnonial
to every popular official on leaving a
large community over which he has
ruled beneficentl.y and without opprea

or satin," richly embroidered In gold,
it is about four feet In diameter and is
raised on a pole nine. feet high-and
surmounted with a gilt knob. its
name, wang-ming-san, or, umbrella of
mayrald names, imblies that it is an
offering from at least ten thousand
persons, who were all of one mind in
giving it. Sometimes the principal
nmames are painted amid clouds on the
deep satin curtains. So this ponderous
decoration is a most literal "legion of
honor," and the proud recipient is
thenceforth distinguished as the owner
of a ten-thiousandl-man umbrellal
