The Piano Contest.
In the contest for the EVENING GA-
ZETTE $400 piano, HOpe Hose still re-
tains the first position although St.
Maryis school is striving hard to gain
‘ the lead. The Over River school has
increased its vote as has the Sons of St.
George. A new come: into the field is
the Center school which numbers
among itsmany pupils some bright
newsboys, who may yet succeed in se-
curing the handsome piano away from
, all other competitors.
Concerning Wills.
There are many wrongs perpetrated
in last wills and testaments. 1n nine
cases out of ten the law makes a fairer
disposal of the estate of a man dying
intestate than he would probably have
made if he had left a will. . It is the in-
tent of the law to prevent outrages on
natural rights through unjust or foolish
Vbequests,bnt this purpose is frequently
thwarted to the great injury of widows
and orphans. No system of law can
take account of all possible conditions;
and general rules cannot be madeIQto
apply to exceptional caseS. V Thus it too
often happens that the bulk of a de-
cendant's estate goes where it should
not go.
But the strangest, the most foolish,
and u1.just will of the period is now re-
pm ted from Pennsylvania. A man
having an estate valued at $35,000 di-
rects that $22,000 of it shall be spent
iuf a tombstone and the remaining $10,-
000119 placed in trust for his only daugh-
ter. He further directs that ththearse
containing his remains shall be driven
all over the town '0: his birth before
burial. Anthony P. Shriner was the
name, and Ploenixville the residence of
this peculiar person. His funeral came
off last Thursday according to his pro-
gramme. But the nonsense ought
' to stop there. The friends of the
daughter should interfere in her behalf
.so far as to ask the court to annul the
will. It can scarcely be doubted that
such a rcquest would V be promptly
granted. Even if it should appear that
the father was never suspected'. of insVan-
ity, Lut was always regarded as sadp
and reliable, his will should be set aside
on general principles. Such a post-
mortem gratification of vanity at the
£Xpellse of a Child ought not to be per-

A lady of Nova Scotia, writing to the
Boston Transcript, says that the Ameri-
cans who visit Nova Scctia are almost
without except ipn pleasant and well
mannered people. “We note some slight
difference between their speech and ours
Their voices are higher and sharper. and
they are more up t6 date as to slang. I
am afraid that in our heart of hearts
we feel ourselves a little superior in re-
pose of manner,- for the rollicking enjoy-
ment of the ordinary American when on
a holiday in Nova Scotia 1s, perhaps, too
evident. But when the patience with
which they endure many inconveniences,
the zest with which they enter into any
pleasures that come in their way, and
re
who ch may be afoot in aplace where
they are staying are put in the scale
ygainst the loudness which sometimes
offends us, the trifling peculiarity kicks
the beam.’ -

“It will be impossible for me to give,
you a room containing a bed with the
head in that direction.”=-said the clerk.
“The hotel is well filled tonight, and I
havp only two vacant rooms, but I will
have the bed turned for you. ” Calling
a porter, the clerk instructed him to
turn the bed in the gentleman’s room so
that the head would be to the north.
The guest followed the porter up stairs, .
V and as nothing further was heard from
him it is presumed that he retired and
slept peacefully.
“There is no accounting for tastes,’
said the clerk, taming to the reporter,
“and the funny experiences we have in,

ebriated came into the hotel one night,
and producing a pocket compass said
that he wished a room where the head
of the bed should be placed 'to the
northeast. We sent two boys with him,-
and they turned the bed as requested.
The joke was that the compass was
furnished with a little stop, which held
the indicator in a certain position. It
so happened that the gentleman’ s bed.
which had been carefully placed north-
east according to the compass, was. in
reality placed with. the head to the
south. The man discovered his mistake
the next morning and was cured of the
fad. ”—Philadelphia Bulletin.
Cremation Growing In favor.
The movement in .favor of cremation
as 'against earth ~ burial-is growing in
England The other day Mr. William
Rathbone, ex M. P, stated in public
that he had made proxision for crema-
tion in his own case on principle and
with a view to promoting the reform.
At this moment a new crematorium is
almost ready for use at Liverpool. It is
V a neat building of red sandstone, simple
and chaste in design. The main door
opens into a small chapel. From this
room the coffin will be carried after the
burial service is read into a small apart-
ment beyond and there placed upon an
iron frame running on Wheels and rails
in a line with the furnace and pushed
noiselessly into the abode of flames.
From the chapel tho clergyman, fol-
lowed by the relatives of the deceased,
will ascend a stair on the opposite side
from the door by which the coffin has
been removed into a small ga’Ileiy over-
looking the door of the furnace. From
this gallery the. service prescribed for
the grave will be read and the mourn-
ers will take the’lVast look of the coffin
as it disappears within the furnace.
The situation of the c1 ematorium at An-
field is wisely chosen, being in the heart
of a [)1 otty suburban neighborhood and
accessible from all parts of the city.
d ' There is an office, with a cottage for the V
caretaker attached, at the entrance gate.
The crematorium ~will be opened for
public use not later than April 1.—

‘The Mascot Worked.
