LONDON'S WILL OFFICE. THE GREAT DEPOSITORY OF TESTAMENTARY LITERATURE. C. New People Who Visit It and the Questions They Ask—Mighty Volumes Made of Parchment and Bound in Leather—Manched by Fortune Seekers. If you enter Someret house through one of the arches in the Strand, and go straight across the court yard to the other side, under the cupola in what was formerly the navy office, you will find the will office. We stop to read the notice exhibited at one side of the entrance, that the officials in their several departments will give all necessary information for the guidance of the public, and in case of any assistance being required in searching for and reading wills it will be provided on application to the record keeper. Passing through two pairs of swing doors you enter into the public hall, and see at once arranged on the shelves at the side and under the decks the calendars containing the lists of the names of the testators whose wills have been proved, and also the names of those persons, dead intestate, of whose personal estate letters of administration have been granted. LOOK LIKE MIBLER. There are also mighty volumes made of parchment and bound in leather, with strong brass clasps, containing the registered copies of wills. It was in respect of these big books that the country visitor inquired of the attendant whether they were Bibles, connecting them in her mind with the big Bible in the pulpit of her old parish church. The attendant promptly replied: "No, ma'am, they're the testaments." Only a few of the most recent of these books are in the public hall; the others are kept on a lower floor, whence they are brought up when required to be seen. The volume is placed before you on one of the strong desks, the attendant finds the will you have previously searched for, and you stand there and read it. All the original wills are kept in the strong room, which is also on a lower floor. You do not read these in the public hall, but go a little way down the passage, on the left, to a room called the reading room. The will you have bespoken is brought to you, and you sit down to a long table comfortably to read it, but always in view of one or two argus eyed officials, who watch carefully that you do not damage the document or take surreptitious extracts beyond the permitted notes. There are many persons who believe that if they had their rights they would be possessed of considerable property, and that their ancestors more or less remote have been unjustly kept out of great estates or large miscellaneous. MISCELLANEOUS. A prominent physician calls the kiss "an elegant disseminator of disease." He says: "fever is spread by no jung diseases." Out upon the guarded and applauded Evidently kins are not for such as be and the old fox says the grapes are sour. Let him devote himself to making our women healthy and blooming that knows may be killed. This can surely be done by the use of Dr. Pierer's Favorite Prescription, which is simply magical in curing diseases peculiar to females. After taking it for a reasonable length of time there will be no more irregularity, backache, bearing-down sensations, nervous prostration, general debility and kindred ailments. It is the only medicine for women sold by druggists under a positive guarantee from the manufacturers, that it will give satisfaction in every case, or money refunded.

LUEDKE, Watch Maker and Jeweler Center Street, Anaheim. THE PORTUNE HUNTERS. Because a person has been advertised for perhaps 100 years ago or more, with the significant addition that if he will apply as directed he will hear of something greatly to his advantage, it does not follow that if his representatives now apply they will find there is something to claim. The advertisement may have been issued in respect of some small dividend under a bankrupt's estate, or on the winding up of some company, or even to find some person who was a witness to a will or other document for the purpose of obtaining his evidence; the man himself may have come forward at the time and received his money or given his testimony; but the advertisement still remains in the old newspaper, or in the published books of the collectors of these things, who have no knowledge that the object of its being inserted has long since been satisfied. The unhappy fortune seeker buys the book and finds the name only; he then has to buy a copy of the advertisement, then to expend his money and time in making various searches to prove his deed from the person advertised for, and then to trace the people who inserted the advertisement; and after all he may find that the whole matter was settled years ago. In some cases years have been spent and small fortunes wasted in these searches. Wills sometimes pass through strange viciousitudes before being admitted to probate, and testators are often themselves to blame for it. They either hide them away so carefully in such secret repositories that at their deaths they cannot be found, or leave them about so carolessly that they get converted to other purposes or gathered up with the waste only; he then has to buy a copy of the advertisement, then to expend his money and time in making various searches to prove his deed from the person advertised for, and then to trace the people who inserted the advertisement; and after all he may find that the whole matter was settled years ago. In some cases years have been spent and small fortunes wasted in these searches. Wills sometimes pass through strange vicesitudes before being admitted to probate, and testators are often themselves to blame for it. They either hide them away so carefully in such secret repositories that at their deaths they cannot be found, or leave them about so carolously that they get converted to other purposes or gathered up with the waste paper and rubbish. The great Lord St. Leonard, who had for several years thoughtfully considered how he should dispose of his property, had left a will, that was certain, but it could not be found at his death; it had been kept locked up in a box, but when the box was opened the will was not there. The court, being satisfied by the evidence of Miss Sugden of the contents from her recollection, granted probate of the will as contained in her evidence. In one case, a boy seeing his father's will lying about, and finding it was written on good, strong paper, cut into strips and made it into a tail for his kite. These were afterwards carefully placed together, the patchwork state of the will was fully explained, and it was then admitted to probate. In another case, after having been lost for a long time, a visit from the dustman led to the will being found at the bottom of the dusthole. One case that we know of was not the fault of the testator; the executor, at a public dinner, handed the will to his proctor to prove, but the will could not afterwards be found. The proctor was sure he gave it to his clerk, who was just as sure he never received it; the safes were searched, the bundles of paper were undone and shaken out, and all the drawers were turned out, but the will was not forthcoming. The legates began to claim for their money, when luckily the proctor went to another dinner, and on putting his hand into his dress came pulled out the missing will—London Illustrated News. The apple came from Asia, according to some authorities; according to others it is African, and reached Normandy through Spain and France. Church Announcements.
