Piety ai seem to have Inspired most of the legacies; vengeance against a disliked relative prompted others; while sheer captiousness seems to have governed vier, a hero of the Napoleonic wars, many. Hundreds of testators,' leaving their fortunes to the poor, have asked only that an annual mass be said for Uiwr souls, and the Aasistanee Publique, faithfully observing this part of its trust, keeps several churches busy in this way. On benefactor asked that hia family tomb be torn down nnd replaced by another of more graceful model, a sketch of which was appended to the will with a request that it be executed la granite. Genera! the Paris poor hia residuary lew ateea on the condition that the following epitaph he placed as an eternal reproach on hia tomb: . Fab-mad- e To the unhapplest of Mothers. n.

So an "Tpnlxatlon known aa the Assistance Publique, with officers appointed by 'he government to look after the L Paupers' wealth and invest it and die tribute its revenues In the fairest poss- ible way, was devised. Thai was a century and a quarter ago, Marly Mri through subsequent revolutions, and monarchies, it has d to the present day with few Modifications in Its line of conduct uve thst the sums to be handled have quadrupled in recent yeara. I'nder the Revolution, In 1793, a law Rede II obligatory for the poor to each hia share of the general But the directorate decided hst forcing money upon people was n JtUe too radical, and (he rule was still in force, that the money ud privileges belonged to the poor, wt they must apply for it and prove republics ron-ttaue- re-N- ibelr poverty. VA8T ESTATES OP THE "POOR. be real estate owned by the Paris Ww and controlled for them the by wtance Publique represents an of nearly 3,000,000 square feet hmi f fT.0M.M0 Maagtsf by selling the surplus $90,000 per year io now realised. Even the leavings of bones, grease, peelings and bread from the various establishments are preserved and sold, netting $13,000 annually. There la need for every cent of this money, the expenses attendant on the comfort of the poor being enormous. To begin with, there are thirty-tw- o hospitals in Parle and twenty-eigh- t asylums, some in the capllal and others rest resorts at the seaside or in the mountain, which must be seen io. Then thore are pharmacies, butcher shops, laundries, supply stores for the poor. More than $3,000 Is spent each year on the care nnd extension of museum to instruct the poor, $2,000 on books for them, and $2,000 In giving them postage stamps to communicate with their relatives. No leas than $155,000 la devoted each year to helping poverty-strickemothers who might be tempted to abandon their young children from inability to feed them.' All septuagenarians have the right to a minimum pension of $2 a month and no questions asked. Others old or weak or poorly paid, whatever their employment, draw pensions of from $1 to $4 a month. If they tkll ill they have a physician -- n One testator founded three perpetual hospital beds on condition that at the head of each should stand iat.uea hf four saints. Damien, Cosmo, Martin nnd Margaret. Another left enough money for three scholarships, with the stipulation that each new beneficiary should, aa soon as chosen, alng the De Profundi in memory of him. The Barones de Montagna willed that each year twelve children should be taught a trade from the interests on her estates. (he children being chosen by drawing lots on which was written "God has been gracious to me. WHIM8 OF OTHER DONORS. One of the principal benefactors, natqed Boniard, left hia great fortune on the sole understanding that those benefiting by his charity should celebrate hi birthday earh year by eating fricasseed chicken. Thanks to another request observed by the Assistance Publique, an author who otherwise would or perhaps should never have came to been known to the world, I beg, wrote Miss Zenobla HgkL Bousquet, in her last will, That the exerutora who settle my estate In favor of the poor, shall kava papa's works printed. 1 am aura they deserve It. When the printing was done, papa waa no nearer to fame than he had been, but the Paris poor were richer by $12-00- 0. Family quarrels are responsible for many large bequests. General de left to die' Paris poor $2,400,000, the totality of his wife's dowry. He had thought he was marrying n royal princess, and found out too late that he had been royally duped, and Is hia indignation he refused to see her again or touch her money. A vitriolic old maid named Bonaime pennod her will as follows: I wish that after my death all that I own shall be sold for the poor. My family has no claim on me and can raise no objections. They have shown me only envy nnd Jealousy. It la with a sense of utmost gratification that I leave what I have to people who have done me neither good nor harm.
