Novel Will Contest. A young widow in #¥rance, whose husband left her all his property on con- dition that she should forfeit the whole, except dower, if she married again, was inclined to contract a new marriage, and prudently went to the local court to see if there were any escape. It upheld the will, but a higher court to which the question was taken then reversed the decision on novel grounds, The judges there said that celibacy, being contrary to nature, was something which no man, alive or dead, had a right to impose, and that such an act, particu- lary in a country Jike France, where the population is stationary or waning, was contrary to public policy. Upon this the widow married, but it seems _ she was too hasty afterall, for rela- tives carried the case up to the supreme court, which ungallantly reaffirmed the original opinion.

Prehistoric Dogs.

A Swiss naturalist has recently pre- sented to the Helvetian Society of Nat- ural Science the results of a study of the remains of dogs found among the ancient lake dwellings of Switzerland, the earliest of which date from the age of stone. He finds that three different races of dog's existed there at that time, one of which resembled the Siberian sledge dog of today. Later, when the age of bronze dawned upon the Alps, two new species appeared, one being a shepherd dog and the other a hunting

The Durr Light.

The remarkable light which. has been brought forward in Germany and known as the Durr light is declared to be equally capable of use for interior illumination. It is originated by automatic evaporation and overheating of the vapors from ordinary lamp petroleum. The vapors, being con- verted into gas, when burned yield a light of from 3,500 to 14,000 candle power. The apparatus consists of a tank containing the supply of petroleum, which is removed sufficiently from the burner to avoid ali danger of fire from the flame. The oil is conducted by drops into a burner of special construction, after the latter has been heated for about five minutes by means of oil which ‘s burned in small heating pans furnished with the apparatus. Behind the burner from which’ the flame issues there is a second burrer, which, after the heat- ing of the pans has been removed, contin- ually produces the vapors and heats them toa high temperature, at the same time completely surrounding the first burner with a strong flame. This arrangement is said to make the extinction of the light an impossibility, even in the strongest wind. Fresh air is drawn in between the burner and the external cylinder by the force of the flame rushing out, and, by using this air in the burner a smokeless flame results on account of the air supply being heated. The oil used is ordinary 100 proof coal oil, the consumption of which is about 1% tes per 1,C00 candle power.—Railway

Gothic Headgear.

The curious fact was mentioned in a re- cent lgcture on costume that in medizval times, when the Gothic style of architec- ture prevailed, women wore what might aptly be’called Gothic headgear. The tall cones, some of them measuring fully four feet in height, with veils depending, were in the same lines as the castles and tombs of the day. Ths lecturer commented, too, on the extravagance of those former days, which far exceeded the criticised lavish- ness of our own times. When has the nineteenth century equaled the expendi- ture of Francois I, who paid $360 a yard for his coveted cloth of gold?—-New York Post.

LINCOLN’S INAUGURATION,

here Were Fears of Assassinatior, en? He Was Carefully Guarded.

In The Ladies’ Home Journal Stephen

iske graphically recalls the excitement

nd apprehension and the condition of th

uuntry “When Lincoln Was First In- ugurated.’’? He tells the incidents of th icmerable journey to the capital, of Mr. incoln’s reception, and gives a rathcr reweome pictureof the inaugural cere. monies. ‘‘As L-walked up to the capitol the wide, dusty strects were already crowd- ed,’’ he writes. ‘‘Regular troops were posted at intervals along Pennsylvania av- enue. Sharpshooters were climbing ovet the rcofs of the houses. A mountad officer at evcry corner Was ready to report to Gen- eral Sectt the passage of the procession. Detectives in plain clothes squirmed through the masses of people. The police- men had been instructed to arrest for ‘dis- orderly conduct’ any person who called tr. Lincoln an opprobrious name or ut- tcred a disloyal sentiment. There was mech suppressed excitement, and the prophetic word ‘assassination’ was in ev- ery mind,

‘‘President Buchanan, whose term ex- pired at noon, was engaged until half an hour later in signing the bills that had been hurriedly passed, but the congres- sional clock had been put back to legalize the transaction. At last he drove down tc Willard’s and the procession was formed. The president and president elect rode in an open barouche. But this confidence in the people was more apparent than real. On the front seat were Senators Baker and Pearce. A guard of honor of the regular cavalry surrounded the carriage. Beyond were mounted marshals four files deep. From the sidewalks no one could accurate- ly distinguish Mr. Lincoln. Close behind marched regiments of regulars and ma- rines fully armed. It seemed more like escorting a prisoner to his doom than a president to his inauguration. Little cheer- ing and no enthusiasm greeted the proces- sion. Every now and then an arrest for ‘disorderly conduct’ was quickly and quietly made in the crowd. The sunshine was bright, but the whole affair was as gloomy as if Mr. Lincoln were riding through an enemy’s country—as, indeed, he was.”’

HARBOR DEFENSES.

Fortifications That Mean Danger toa Fleet of Hostile Ships.

Charles Rawson Thurston thus describes one phase of modern harbor defenses in St. Nicholas:

Various plans have been devised for the building of coast defenses of this kind. Even fighting turrets like those on moni- tors have been suggested and built. Some of them rise into sight only preparatory tc the firing of the guns which they contain. Others are somewhat raised above the sur- face, and the guns disappear for loading. In either case, though, very ponderous and expensive machinery is required for them.

A disappeuring gun set up in a pit sim- ilar to the mortar pit is more in favor. There are several styles of these, with va- rious powers to elevate them, but all are lowered by the recoil of the discharge,

The Gordon counterpoise carriage is per- haps the most novel. It is fitted for a 10 inch breechloading rifle, the weight of which is about 67,209 pounds. It has an advantage over other patterns in that while being loaded it affords greatcr pro- tection to itself and to the gunners than the other styles, and this isan important feature. It is operated by either hand power or electricity. With the former it has fired 32 shots in an hour, which is con- sidered remarkably rapid firing.

But this is not all that is needed tc make a bay or harbor defensible. These large guns would not be very dangerous to an enemy’s fleet of torpedo boats. These move and turn very quickly, and once past the great guns the torpedo mines might be disposed of without much diffi- culty. To prevent such action by the en- emy batteries mounting rapid fire guns are employed. The torpedo boats can change their courses with such rapidity that big guns cannot be trained on them quickly enough to be effective, and alongshore, op- posite portions of the channel where tor- pedo mines are planted, are needed Latter- ies of these sma)] spitfires.

With such a quadruple defense as torpe- do mines, mortar batteries, disappearing guns of long range and batteries of rapid fire guns a fleet of hostile ships would find it a very difficult task to enter any bay or harbor along the coast.

A Difficult Problem Satisfactorily Solved.

In the past the ladies have had thous ands of dollars’ worth of valuable goods ruined tiirough the use of inferior and aduiterated dyes prepared for home dye- ing. The greatest loss that we can point to is inthe coloring of mixed goods— fabrics composed of cotton and wool, cot- ton and silk, and silk and wool.

The manufacturers of Diamond Dyes put up special dyes for the coloring of all mixed goods, giving colors that are fast to soap and sunlight. Diamond Dyes for mixed goods are the only reliable dyes in the world, and are all guaranteed to do perfect work.

Every drnggist and dealer of any stand- ing in Canada can supply you with Diamond Dyes for mixed goods, Do not accept imitations or substitutes; compel your dealer to give you the “ Diamond.”
