A Frtaiie for ttctenee.. .- The full text of the will of theUate Alfred Noble, the distinguished chemist and inventor of dynamite, baa now been made public. With the exception of a few private bequests, bis fortune, estimated at $10,000,000, has been be queathed fortheadvancementof scienc throughout the world, or, in the testa tor's words, it is to constitute a fund, the income of which shall be distribut ed yearly among those who "during the preceding year shall have render ed the meet eminent services to hu manity' The income is to be divided into tive equal prizes, to be respective' ly awarded to the four pet sons who shall have made the most important discovery in the domain of physies, oi chemistry and of medicine, and who shall have produced the greatest work, in an ideal sense, in the domain of let- - -ters. and to the person who shall have exerted the greatest or the best action for the fraternity of peoples, for the suppression or diminution of permanent armies, and for the formation or spreading of peace congresses. As these prizes will amount to (60,000 a year each, they are, without doubt, the largest of their kind that were ever et' tablisued, and offer great encourage ment to discoverers, scientists, in ventors, authors and philanthropists in many fields of human research and activity. It seems strange, however, that the inventor of explosives which figure so much in modern warfare should desire to have the fortune that he thus made devoted to the bringing about of universal peace. His offar is open to the whole world, and it would not be surprising if some of the stu dents and scholars of our own country would find wealth and fame from this generous offer. Philadephia I n quirer. Mlnflt Geography. One of the English papers published in Paris gave its readers on Decem ber 26 this important piece of infor mation: "The charter of Greater New Yom was " signed to-day. The enlarged - municipality comprises Brooklyn and other ad jaeent boroughs within the City of New York. The new city will have a population of 3,000,000. It does not include New Jersey, for the reason that it lies in another state." The last sentence throws several floods of light on a mystery hitherto wrapped in gloomy darkness. Now at last wo can under stand why New Jersey is not to form a part 'of the giat metropolis. It lies in another state! But what state? New York Times. How Jo tin Hay Got Ills Start. Ex-Attorney General Williams, of Kansas, lived at Quincy, 111., in his boyhood. At Wat saw, in the next county on the north, lived John Hay, afterward President Lincoln's private secretary and now slated by Mr. Mc Kinlcy, it is said, to cmceed Mr. Ba yard the American Minister at the court of St. James. .Mr. Hay was a country poet in those days the "Un lcttereu Bard" he subscribed himself. He wrote a quality of poetry that made Mr. Williams tireu, and his rural airs and manners were simply killing to the practical Quincy boy. "I'll drive that fellow off the river. Mr. Williams declared one day, and s'o he did. Mr. Williams got himself together one day and wrote the rottenest sort of alleged verses. These he signed "The Unbuttered Bard"' and caused them to be printed on coarse brown wrapping pajier such as grocers used in those days. Then he stole up to Warsaw, and inthedead hourof night he posted the "Unbuttered Bard's verses all over town. This took the conceit out of Hay in an hour. A stern resolve came into his face, and the next week he left t jwn, going to Springfield, where Lin coln took him into his law office, and afterward installed him in the White House as his private secretary. "Whatever John Hay is or will be, " Mr. Williams once said to a reporter for the "Star," "I made him. If I had not caused him to see himself as others saw him he would never have left Warsaw, and leaving Warsaw is what gave him his start." Kansas City Star.

The average woman's idea of econ omy is never to throw away sour milk. If a woman can't glorify strength in a man she will glorify his weakness. Women are like some kind of vituals the more we love them the less they agree with us. There's nothing so aggravating as a man with irregular habits, unless it's a woman with regular ones. A man is a good deal more apt to take his wife to a French ball than to take the woman he intends to marry. New York Press. Tblili Worth Heading.
