New York, May 21.—The will v: .s.dor Straus, member of the firms oi R. H. Macy & Co. and of Abraham & Straus of Brooklyn, who, with his wife, lost his life in the sinking o the steamship Titanic, leaves his en- tire estate for distribution among the three sons and the three daughters Lecause of the simultaneous death of husband and wife, some of the be- quests being in trust for the lives of the beneficiaries, the principal to go to the children of the latter. While no specific bequest is made in the will to charity, Mr. Straus said cn this point: I make no bequests to charities or to others than my im- mediate family, as I have left di- rections to my sons in a letter, which I know they will carry out.” The will provides that the three sons of the testator, Jesse I, Straus, Percy 8. Straus and Herbert N. Straus, are to carry on the interest in any business held by their father at his death. Mrs. Straus left no will, It is stat- ed that the legal question as to whether Mr. and Mrs. Straus died first would not be raised. The will left $1,200,000 in trust for Mrs, Straus for life, as well as the use of Mr. Straus' residential property These bequests will not be turned into the residuary estate of Mr. Straus, but will be divided equitably among all his children. The total of specific amounts to over $3,000,000, bequests Novelties in the Church, Barbara was comparing notes with a little friend who went to a different church. “Stained glass windows 18 nothing,” she declared triumphantly. “We've got two priests aud six acro bats!” Artificial Sponge.

The cardboard is neatly covered with silk, gathered into a tiny frill at each end, and upon which the word “hatpins” is worked. The cylinder s further ornamented with bands of ribbon tied tightly round either side and finished off with smart little bows. Sewn at the back of these bands is a long loop of ribbon with a rosette bow for suspending the holder from the glass.

LINOLEUM IN THE BEDROOM English Idea Has Become Deservedly Popular—Saves Time and Labor for the Housewife, . The introduction of the English vogue for using linoleums as floor cov- erings in bedrooms has led to an enor- mous increase in the demand for rugs. Housekeepers appreciate the cleanli- ness of a floor covering that can be washed without requiring a further polishing with oil or wax. The pat- terns in the bedroom linoleums are pretty, and when ornamented with a few rugs look very attractive. Inex- pensive velvet and tapestry squares are often used for this purpese and are to be had in old Persian patterns, in which the dull, rich tones of blue and the beautiful, varying tints of soft rose are seen to wonderful advantage. Among the novelties for curtains and draperies the Murillo fabric, a dull finish silk and satin material ob- tainable in beautiful colorings, and the Naples satin, which has a bright appearance of silk satin, although it is simply a mixture of cotton and wool, hold first place. This is chiefly due to their moderate price, combined with their decorative effects. They are importations. Took an Unfair Advantage. Doctor Graham, a widely known physician in London, once conceived {the plan of burying persons up to | their necks in the earth an! leaving them there for some hours as a cure for some diseases.

A There 1s a curfous legend connect ed with the source of the Niger, Tra dition says that a devil lives inside the rock whence the river springs.

There are times in our education when it is well for us to cultivate our own gifts, stand apart to discover what it {8 that we can best do, find our own best way of contributing to the great family to which we belong.
