lads no (1 Joseph Ritch aged 16 and
Herbeil’zlétow aged 15 attempted to
board it. -.
One of the twain was successful, the
other is now lying in the hospital suf-

Ann Augusta Peck of Norwalk filed
objections at River Head, L. I., on
July 22, with surrogate'fiPetty to the
will of George W. Watkins, a wealthy
resident of Amityville, on the ground
that she was his widow. Watkins died
at Amityville, May 26, leaving an es-
tate valued at $25,000, which is a low
estimate. Mrs. Peck, the contestant,
admits that she hasflnot lived with
Watkins for more than forty years,
having‘procured andivorce and after-
wards re-married. She claimed the
will was not the last testament of
George W. Watkins, that he was men-
tally incapacitated, and that undue in-
fluence was used.
The will bears the date of December
24, 1895, and was witnessed by Samuel
P. Hildreth and Frank W. Smith.
Joel S. Davis and Solomon Ketcham
are named as executors. Theflbulk of
the real estate is personal property.
To Ann Augusta Peck is bequeathed
the sum of $1,000. To each of his nepho
ews and nieces, he gives $500. To
Frank H. Watkins, an adopted son, is
given $1,000 for bearing his name.
Erastus F. Hafi’, son of Silas Half of
Amityville, is given--$1,000. By a co-
dicil, dated December 21, 1896, the
testator revokes his bequest to his
nephews. The first hearing was set
down for yesterday. When the case
was called it was announced that the
contest was withdrawn. The will will
be admitted to probate.
The Derby Transcript says that a
young lady of that city, who has re-
cently taken to bicycle-riding, told her
~bicycle repairer" of a dream she ex-
perienced. While riding through the
country she was seized with a desire to
rest. She had ridden many miles and
was weary. She saw an open lot
ahead, in which were several large
shade trees. Letting-{down the bars
she went into the lot, and, leaning her
wheel against a tree,sought a soft,cool,
shady place under the tree, and was
soon in slumber.
As she dreamed, visions of her
cyclometer passed before her, the fig-
ures far up in the hundred thousands.
This was bliss indeed. But soon a sub-
tle change came over her, and it seemed
as if some large bodywas hovering
near. This she soon made out to beg
man. Coming close to her, he implant-
ed kiss after kiss upon her lips. This
was delightful to her, but alas! the
beautiful experience was not to last.
She awoke, and with screams of horror
fled from the spot. A brindle cow had
been standing over her, licking her
face. When she returned home, her
parents wondered why one side of \her
face was so much more highly colored
than the other. She has no further de-
sire to sleep and dream in orchards,
where there are cattle. ‘

Three Kittens.
It is said that a bird store in New
York has a big Maltese cat that guards
the birds. By the door of this bird
store there is one big cage containing
a hundred canuaries. They sing, and
their music is carried far up the street
when the store door is opened. As
might be expected, this attracts all
the stray cats‘in the neighborhood, and
bef01e Miss Maltese was obtained
th rite weie frequent losses from the
bud cage through the cats that stole
in. One day a big black cat was
caught in the very act- of hauling a
canary between the Wires with her
claws.
There was but one thing to do. A
customer .mentioned that he had a cat
that liked canary birds for their song.
The cat was purchased by the bird-
stne keeper, and now theie is no cat
oil dog bold enough to appioach the
s bp when the cat Is on guaid.

ly crouches by the side of the big bird
cage, and awaits visitors. Woe to the
unhappy puppy that pokes his nose in
that door or the inquisitive cat that
caters to find out what the noise is all
about
The proudest feat of this cat was
the killing of three kittens that could
not be kept from away from the cage.
They were deposited in the back yard
of the shop in some mysterious way.
and managed to creep in, unknown to
the proprietor. All night Miss Mal-
tese and the kittens were alone in the
shop together, and when the proprietor
opened up the shutters next morning
his eyes rested upon a shuddering
sight. Therein the middle of the floor
lay the bodies of the three kittens,
killed after desperate conflict, and
in the corner, under the big bird-
cage, huddledt he Maltese cat with a
souowful look in her eye, as though
she would say: “I’m awfully sorr ,
but I had to do it. I didn’t dare‘ro to
sleep and leave them together.

It is difficult to state with any de-
gree of accuracy when tobacco was
first introduced into Europe, but it is
generally believed that Sir Walter Ria-
leigh took it to England toward the
With
the introduction of tobacco came the
need of tobacco pipes, as before to-
bacco‘smoking began the smoking of
herbs and leaves even for medicinal
purposes was not at all general. It is
stated that at Braseley, in Shropshire,
the first clay pipes were made; and al-
though many are made in Glasgow and
elsewhere, yet the Braseley clay pipes
are the best known among old smok-
ers the world over, and their manu-
facture is still continued by descend-
ants of the original makers.
The clay for making the pipes is and
always has been obtained from Devon
and Cornwall, the absence of coal in
these districts and the abundance of it
in Brasely having offered sufficient in-
ducement to the early manufacturers
to settle there. Pipe making In the ear—
ly days of its introduction was a very
difierent matter from what it is now.
Then the greater part of the manipu-
lation was performed by the master.
and twenty or twenty-four gross was
the largest quantity ever burned in
one kiln. This required about a ton of
coal. Each pipe 1ested on its bowl,
and the stem was suppOI ted by 1111;, s of
pipe clay placed one upon the other
as the kiln became filled; the result
was that at least 20 per cent were
warped or broken in the kiln.
At the present time the preliminary
preparations of the clay are made by
men, but the most delicate part is al-
most entirely in-trusted to the hands of
women. The pipes are placed in "sag-
gers,” to be burned after the Dutch
mode, and from 350 to 400 gross in one
kiln are not an uncommon quantity.
The breakages amount to not more
than 1 per cent. One collector has a
splendid collection of old clay pipes,
the oldest of them, from their trade
marks, hailing from Braseley, and be-
ing dated as long ago as the year 1600.

_ Very Musicai Voice.
The person entc-riifg Liliuokalani’l
presence with any preconceived idea
of a swarthy and savaue island queen
finds himself tremendously mistaken.
There rises to greet him, with a slow
and singular grace which is itself maj-
esty, a woman of medium height, the
outlines of whose figure are only sug-
gested .under the gown, which is fre-
quently the adaptation of the flowing
island robe’to our “princesse” form.
This gown is perhaps of black-velvet
with vertical lines of jet, 3. long scarf
of fine black thread lace crossing the
shoulders and tied loosely half way
to the knees, the only ornament a. Mo.-
sonic jewel once conferred upon her.
On another day the dress will be all of ,
white, and equally beautiful. The
straight black hair is dressed fashion-
ably,.crowned with a small gold comb.
She uses a quaint fan made of the
wings of some island bird. The Queen
offezs you her hand, which is ve
small, beautifully shaped, the bio
tint contrasting with the diamonds
that glitter on it, andin a voice like
music, low and clear, but penetrating,‘
the sweetest voice I ever heard from a"
woman, she asks you to be seated.
The face that looks at you with a’
calm, confident air, is very pleasing,
dark, with irregular features, its ex;
pression eminently sweet, the smile
most lovely, and the large, liquid eyes,
at once soft and brilliant, are very
beautiful. She addresses you in per-
fect English, and her conveisation is
inteiesting and entertaining, but it
does not touch upon personalmatters
nor upon affairs of state.
If Victmia, with her lesser stature
l-s always the Queen, Liliuokalani,
much taller, with an exceedingly state~
ly carriage of the head, is never less
than the Queen, while her manner Is
most gracious and gentle. If one saw
her in royal robes, or in a long, white
cymar, with a golden circlet on her
head, she would hardly seem more
queenly than she 'does in her simple
Paiis gown. “Who is that very royal-
looking ladr?” asked a stranger on the
train in which she came to Washing-
ton. And indeed there are few, if any,
women on thrones today who are as
entirely royal in descent as Liliuoka—
lani is; she has in her veins no other
blood than the blood of kings. —Har-

The Value of Nuts as Food.
It is popularly believed that nuts are
lndigestible, and doctors agree that
- nuts and raisins after a full meal, or
rich nut cakes, puddings or fritters,
they are eaten as luxuries after the ap-
oetite has been satisfied. Nuts, if well
masticated, and eaten not as a dessert,
but in place of other food, are more
inutritious and sustaining than many
' fruits and vegetables, and are said to
be specially valuable as brain and.
nerve builders. They may be eaten
uncooked, in the usual .way, or In
soups, sandwiches, salads, or cooked
with vegetables; for instance, egg plant
with nut stuffing. Peanut or chestnut
sandwiches are anappgoygd delicacy.
