John Scott Murray Falls llelr to the Estate - of Lady Wallace. It is seldom that a private secretary rams such a. magnificent windfall as John Scott Murray, wflm is constituted. by the will of the late Lady W‘allaoe the chief legatee of her forbulne, rough- ly computed wt about forty millions. When Sir Richard \Vaxllaoe succeeded to the property of his brother, the fourth. Marquis of Iiertford. probate duty was paid upon personality in Eng: land he the extent of eighteen miil'lions. This did not include the extensive es- tatea of the marquis of England, Scot- land, and Ireland, nor his possessions on the continent. where he spent the major portion of his life, rarely visit- ing England. Indeed, it Was stated at the time of his death that by far the larger moiety of his fortune was 10â€" omed abroad.

She bequeathed everything: else, not to her gmnklrflmildren, wt to the stalwart and goodâ€"looking young Engâ€" lishman. who, af’uer serving her blue- band for years as private secretary.

LEFT HER SECRETARY MILLIONS As to the: European ships. it is not worth while to go into greater details, bex‘ause, as the London "Times" re- marks, in giving them already spoken of. there are redistributions of forces from time to time and reliefs of some vessels by others. But the Mediterran- can, especially along 'the Levaniine coasts, certainly presents a remarkable naval spectacle at this time. 0f the Gheek and Turkish vessels a detailed account has already been giv~ en. lit is enough. now to recall the small battleâ€"ships Hydra.

But amid all the philanthropies of the day they ask a more earnest consideration of their plea. to be strengthened. amply and intelligent- ly, in their great share of the task of making tho humanity of the present It is characteristic of motherhood that the first general assembly at Washington called in its name proved to be a. congress for the benefit of children. As the daily programmes were developed, all the interests of mothers seemed to lead to a. 'discus- sion of what is best for the child in training, surroundings, education. phy- sique. recreations, moral safeguards, hygiene, home ties and the deep prob- lems of heredity. The mothers came to- gether for themselves as represented in their offspring. and if there is any- thing selfish in this then the most de- voted unselfishness is without a. de- finition. Perhaps no congress of moâ€" thers is conceivable in which the wel- ‘ fare of the rising generation could fail to take precedence of all other qtues« them. Let it thereIovre be understood that an improved mother is one who seeks the best way to raise an improvâ€" ed child Some subjects were brought forward and some things said at the mothers congress which will come before the world with increasing force as the years go. A child is a. promise and an opportunity as well as a prophecy. The twig may be bent and the tree inâ€" clined. A time will come in later life when the prophecy will be written out in good or evil lives, and the day will long have passed when the decree can be changed. What the mothers in the convention seemed most to desire was a more definite assurance that their children are to be reared under good influences and to be properly protect- erl as long as they are snbjwt to the guiding hand of the parent. "Amid the maze of manifold theories and schemes ‘ for human betterment," said one speak- er, "the idea has been growing that the answer to the crowding problems of the race lies in the conditions and possible development of the child." The ‘ proposition appears to be sound. It is only necessary to look into the street? I l or into the households where vice, imâ€" providenoe or domestic discord prevails to realize that a. multitude of children are not raised at all in the moral sense.

If the garment thphushg cuts up is‘not clean, advantage for garmenis for them, and this is often true economy if the gar- ment weam long enough to pay for the makimg. Before commencing the spring cleaning it is a. good idea. to se- lect such old clothes as are worth keep- ing and for which one is sure there will be a use. and give away or utilize the rest for something. There are many people who would gladly accept old clothes, and those which are not givâ€" en away may be out up for rag car- pets or rugs. Woolen garments which are not to be used fotr the summer should not be left hanging in the closets. but should be put away. and especially if they are of any value. To leave woolens lying about aimlessly exposed is to simply invite moths. Those gaments which are to be made over should be brushed free of dust and just as canefully put away as any others. 01d clothes which are to be used for the children may be rip~ pod apart and cleaned. and only the best parts sawed. If rolled into neat bundles the mother will know just what she has and just where to firnd it when wanltled. If put away in this form the old clothes will occupy less room and mgy be better taken care of. there are a mun some of the old ( )rk than sh 11 THE HOME.
