SIGNED THE WRONG WILL.
S Put Hi Name to Ills Wife's Win In
steadof Ills Own.
A Tery curious case, in which a hus
band executed a will which hart been
prepared for his wife, and the wife exe
cuted a will which had been prepared
for her husband, has recently been de
clared by the general term of
the supreme court of New
York, in the Fourth judicial depart
ment (Syracuse). John and Jane Nel
son, being1 husband and wife, wanted
to make wills, each in favor of the oth
er, and employed William Covvie to pre
pare the instrument, which he did in
due form.
The wills, says the Boston Argus,
were read and placed upon the table for
signature. Each then signed one of
the wills, made the requisite declara
tion as to the character of the instru
ment, and asked the subscribing wit
nesses to sign. After execution the
wills were sealed up in an envelope,
which was not opened until after the
husband's death, when it was discov
ered for the first time that each had
Yy mistake signed the will intended for
the other. The wife brought suit in
the supreme court" to correct her hus
band.s mistake in signing the wrong
will by reforming the language of the
will which he did actually execute, so
as to make it conform to that which he
certainly intended to execute.
Her complaint was dismissed at the
special term,however, and the appellate
branch of the supreme court holds that
the dismissal was right. Mr. Justice
Martin, in the opinion of the general
term, says in substance that there is no
will to correct, because the husband
did not make any will at all. The in
strument that he executed was his
wife's will and of no more legal signifi
cance than if it had been a blank piece
of paper. No precisely similar case is
reported in New York, but there are
English and Pennsylvania decisions in
point adverse to the position of the
wife.
TRICKS OF THE IMAGINATION.
Strange Delusions Entertained by Highly
Nervous People. j
A writer in a scientific journal gives
the following, respecting tricks of ex
cited imaginations: "An eminent New
York physician, who was fond of ex
perimenting, told a friend that he had
compounded some wonderful pills, a
single one of which would cause cer
tain described symptoms. His friend
volunteered to take one. The symptoms
followed exactly as foretold; but the
pill was afterward noticed in the
tangles of a very full beard, not having
been swallowed at alL The doctor's
faith in the potency of his pills was
such as to make him think that their
mere proximity to the mouth might
prove to be efficacious. But we by
standers attributed the unquestioned
symptoms to the influence of an excited
imagination over the physical condi
tion. A report has gone the rounds to
the effect that a certain lady residing
in Bridgeport, Conn., in mortal agony
called her physician because she had,
as she supposed, swallowed her false
teeth. She could feel them far down in
her throat, and was actually choking to
death. Eminent doctors consulted and
agreed to resort to tracheotomy, to
which they were about to proceed
' when one of them happened to step
. on some object under the edge of the
bed, which, on examination, proved to
be the missing molars. As soon as they
were exhibited to the patient her con
vulsions ceased and she recovered her
normal condition. Sifting the' facts
from the sensational accompaniments,
. there remains the delusion as to the
teeth, the calling for medical aid and
, the finding of the teeth before the doc-
.' tor arrived on the scene. But, even
thus modified, the case Was quite re
markable. - It suggests instances of
somewhat the same nature." N. Y.

CALIFORNIA'S FAIR.
CALIFORNIA lCDWINTKa INTERNA-
TIONAL EXPOSrt6lT DEPARTMENT
of Publicity and Promotion. )
Weekly Circular Letter No. 30.1
Decoration day was celebrated at the
California Midwinter Exposition in a
manner which was calculated to 'make
glad the hearts of all old veterans and
their friends, rather than to make them
sad. In San Francisco, as in every other
large city in the United States, Memor
ial day is historical. There is always a
procession in which the veterans play an
important part, and there are orations
and grave visitings everywhere. But
that portion of the celebration which
centered at the exposition followed on
after the downtown demonstration and
was of quite a different character.
Rev. Dr. T. de Witt Talmage of
Brooklyn Tabernacle fame, happening!
io ue in oan r rancisco ior a uuy or twu
on his trip around the world, was in
duced by the exposition management to
talk for an hour at the exposition on this
occasion, and Festival Hall was packed
to the doors with an eager listening aud
ience. The well known pulpit orator
had no time for preparation of an elab
orate speech, but he spoke extemporane
ously as if from an inspiration. His ad
dress was Baid by those who have often
heard him to have been one of the finest
efforts of his life. It had been preceded
by patriotic airs, rendered by the expo
sition band, but it was in itself at once
a requiem, an anthem, a symphony and
an hallalujah. There were hundreds of
old war veterans in the audience, and
widows and ophans of those who fell
upon their country's battlefields, and
eyes were wet with tears and faces were
wreathed in smiles alternately , during
the delivery of this wonderful speech.
From the exposition standpoint Talmage
proved a big drawing card. t There were
doubtless very many people on the
grounds who were drawn here by the
fact that there was to be something in
the line of a memorial exercise as well
as a spectacular demonstration.
The spectacular demonstration con
sisted of a grand afternoon and evening
parade made np of nearly a score of
floats representing different features of
history during the wars in which Amer
ica has been engaged. These floats were
really magnificent creations of artistic
skill, and the whole affair was managed
with great success. One of the floats
represented "Washington Crossing the
Delaware. " The boat was in the midst
of an ice floe, and was manned by offi
cers and men in old continental uniforms
and everything about it was in keeping
with the subject. Another float repre
sented "Farragnt's Flagship" at the bat
tle of Mobile. This was an exact repro
duction of the famous old war vessel,
and a man looking for all the world like
the pictures of the admiral stood in the
rigging and gave his commands to a real
sailor crew. Another float represented
the " Surrender-of Vera Cruz. " There
was a tent surrounded with shrubbery;
the Mexican and American flags, the
soldiery of both armies and all the ap
purtenances for historical precision.
In addition to these floats represent
ing individual historical incidents, there
was an immense float called "A Tribute
to the Dead," entirely draped in mourn
ing, but relieved from utter somberness
by 48 beautifully dressed children and a
Goddess of Liberty, each child bearing
a floral wreath on which was the name
of one of the states or territories of the
United States. Another float represent
ed "The Soldier's Return." On it was
a cabin with trees and shrubbery in the
dooryard, the anxious wife and children
peering from the portal and the soldier
coming back from the war, battle-scarred
but crowned with victory.
There were other allegorical as well as
historical floats in the parade. One of
these represented "The Triumphs of
War. " This was in the form of a floral
arch containing twenty scrolls, upon
each of which was the name of a leading
American general. This float was pro
fusely decorated "with flowers of every
sort, as indeed were all the other floats.
Flowers were utilized on every hand
and the entire parade was as much a
floral display as the grand festival a fort
night earlier. A great deal of interest
also centered in a float representing the
Ambulance service, where a part of an
old ruin had been improvised into a field
hospital and where doctors and nurses
were ready to operate upon the wounded.
Other floats were " Crowning of the Vic
tors," Cadets and Marines, "and "The
Battle of Big Tree, " the latter represent
ing a scene during the recent Indian
wars with real Indians in ambush be
hind trees, brush, rocks, etc., with an
attacking party of white soldiery in the
foreground. t
This parade moved round and round
the grand central court of the exposition,
starting at 8:80 p. m. Three bands were
in the parade and an escort of military
to each float. The scene was decidedly
impressive and one of the most interest
ing thus far witnessed at the exposition.
In the evening the parade was repeated
mith the added effects of illuminations.
Forty-two platforms had been erected
around the central court- and red fire
and other fireworks were discharged
from these during the entire time of the
farade. The wonderful Bonet Electric
teel Tower was brilliantly iUuminated
at the same time also, and the entire
electrical illumination of the exposition
was all in force. The result was the
grandest illumination ever seen on the
Pacific Coast. The central court was as
light as day, with all the added beauties
of color, and those who witnessed this
demonstration agreed that it surpassed
any previous effort of the MncTthat had
been attempted in connection with the
exposition. -.

GREAT SHOWER OF STARS.
tt Made Many People Believe That the
End of the World Had Come.
. The most imposing display of shoot
ing stars on record occurred on the
night of November 13, 1833, and was
witnessed in the greater part of civil
ized North America. To be exact, it
extended over the limits comprised be
tween longitude sixty-one degrees in
the Atlantic and one hundred degrees in
Central Mexico, and from about the lat
itude of the Great lakes to the West
Indies, says the Philadelphia Press. ';-
Seldom has nature exhibited a scene
of greater or more awful sublimity. . A
resident ' of the vicinity of. Niagara
falls gives the following account of this,
the grsn'lest display of natural fire
works: ' ' -
"Ths two leading powers in nature,
water end fire, seemed to engage in an
emulative display of their-grandeur.
The deafening roar of the cataract
filled the mind of the spectator with an
infinitely heightened sense of sublimity
when its waters were lightened by the
glare of the meteoric torrent in the
sky. In taauj- parts of the country the
people wore strielcen dumb, imagining
that the end of the world had come.
Others, whose education and vigor of
mind prevented them from yielding to
such terrors, were nevertheless vividly
reminded of the grand description in
the Apocalypse, where it says: 'The
stars of heaven fell into the earth, even
as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs
when she is shalien of a mighty wind.' "
In 1830 a similar celestial exhibition,
though of lesser magnitude, was wit
nessed along the Ohio river and off the
coast of Spain; the year before, 1831, a
great "fall of stars'' was reported by
Capt. Hammonds, of the British vessel
Restitution, then sailing in the Indian
ocean. It is rather remarkable that
each of these '"star showers" occurred
on the night of November 13.
TO PREVENT SEASICKNESS.
Sundry Theories, Wise and Otherwise, Re
crardlnjp Its Treatment.
For the prevention of seasickness a
curious notion seems to be common
that the stomach should be kept as full
as possible, says, the Lancet. Thus
have we seen stout old men and women
take with praiseworthy persistence
had the result been satisfactory bis
cuits, brandy and soda, -apples, a pint
of porter, a red herring and various
other edibles and potables with an en
tire want of success in retaining them,
a course of procedure peculiarly trying
to those who happen to be standing, or,
rather, lying on the verge of the act of
vomiting. Were we to counsel those
who are liable to this affection we
should recommend as follows: Take a
moderate meal two hours before going
on board. Remain on deck amidships,
well protected against cold, as long as
possible. As soon as the premonitory
symptoms appear retire to the berth,
undress as quickly as possible and lie
flat on the back for the first twelve or
pven twenty-four hours without food.
Then take a small portion of dry bread
and roast, beef without fluid; this the
stomach will probably retain. If there
is much movement of the vessel lie
quiet again or even go upon deck, and
in the course of thirty -six or forty
eight hours the system will -have re
covered itself and no further trouble
will be experienced. It is a mistake
to introduce a quantity of fluid, even of
strong coffee, into the flaccid stomach,
but if sickness persists a glass of cham
pagne will probably prove serviceable.
In some few persons quinine or anti
pyrin, chloral or potassium bromide
may act well, but as a rule medicine of
all kinds should be eschewed by those
who do not wish to aggravate what is
already hard to bear.
UNTHINKING-YOUTH.
The "Mental Grasp" of
Sweet Girl
Graduates.
"I was mother confessor at the queer
est confessional the other day," writes
the Autocrat of the Tea Table in- the
Minneapolis Times. "One of the sweet,
attractive girls, whom everybody likes,
said to me, with real concern in (her
voice: 'Do you know, I never think.'
I tried not to smile at her seriousness,
and replied, consolingly: 'Well, my
dear, you could not expect to grapple
with abstract problems at your age.'
But she was not to be consoled. 'No,
but, literally; I cannot think, abstract
ly or concretely, or any other way. I
never reason anything out like other
people. '
'Yet she is a girl of -unusual intelli
gence and a high school graduate. It
seems to me there is something radical
ly wrong with a system of education
that can produce such results. Train
ing is too much a matter of knowledge,
and too little a matter of growth. A
fig for all the facts that can be learned!
A few good books .of reference- would
answer the purpose of education, if
knowledge were all it gave. It should
give rather mental grasp and balance,
and a perfect understanding and con-,
trol of every faculty.
"Mental grasp? i Fancy accusing our
sweet girl graduates, or our boy grad
uates either, of possessing it. They
know little more of using their brains
than when they began their education.
What two young people were over
heard to talk sense for more than five
minutes together? What young person
has the least conception, unless he has
happened to stumble upon it by natural
tendencies, of the pleasure of independ
ent thinking? There are few delights
so satisfactory as that of observing,
reasoning, drawing deductions and then
finding in a flash of recognition that you
have . discovered . for yourself some
truth you have heard all yout life and
never fully comprehended. If only the
fevered, hurrying world would 'stop to
think. If only the youth of the day
were trained in the lost art of reason
ing!" .
Bow the Duchess Managed It.
The orthography of our great-grandmothers
was uncertain. The old
Duchess of Gordon used to say to her
cronies: "You know, my dear, when I
don't know how to spell a word I always
Iraw a line under it; and if it is Bpelled
wrong it passes for a very good joke,
and if it is spelled right , it don't mat
ter." . - .
