Eccentric People Leave Sums for Their Benefit. A very wealthy lady residing in a ashionable suburb of London. after willing generous legacies to a number of charitable institutions. apart the sum of $300 a year for the support of a handsome grey pony, and an addi- tional sum of a year for the keep- ing of a greyhound. A Chicago sailor, aged seventy, has iuadc a will leaving his dog SL700. The money has been deposited with trustees, who have undertaken to execute the peculiar provisions of the will. lie. sliâ€" ipulates that if the dog.r dies before he docs the money. on his death. will go to his sister in England; but if he dies first. the money is to be used for the support. of the dog. The man gives as his reason for making.T this will that once while living in Chicago he had a serious illness. and that his dog ipmved his most faithiul nurse. ‘ An old maiden lady who died in Staf- fordshire left her favorite nephew and niece each a cat and ordered in her will that the whole. of her fortune, amount- ing to $50000, should be given to the one whose cat survived the longest. it is probable that no cats were ever so carefully tended as these. They were the objects oi the most constant solici- tude. But while the niece was out shopping one day her valuable pct strayed into the street and was wor- riedto death by a dog. so the immense fortune went to the nephew. An eccentric old lady. a spinster of Aberdeen, left a legacy of $10,000 to a nephew. providing that he “have a cat to dinner with him every New Year‘s Day." This had been a custom of the old ladv herself for a long period. and she devoutly believed it ensured her g-iod hick. As may be supposed the fortunate nephew most readily accept- ccl the eccentric stiipiilati<.«nâ€"and the $10000. ' Romeo and Juliette are two of the mest interesting pcrsonages in Paris.
