The sum of £20' was recently deposited in a bank "to promote and improve the education facilities of Princeton University," the terms of the deposit being 1000 years, half of the interest each year to be sent to Princeton, and the other half to be added to the principal. Even iv 500 years, one is informed, the deposit will have amounted to £2,000,000,000. It does no harm, however, to recall, iv relation to all such ventures, that as many German marks 15 years' ago would -have represented a fortune almost beyond human grasp and that about five years ago they could have been purchased probably for less than £20.

SIR WALTER RALEIGH'S BET. ' Sir Walter Raleigh once won a bet with Queen Elizabeth that he could weigh' tobacco smoke. He first weighed tho tobacco, then he smoked it, and then he weighed the ashes. So fond was Raleigh of his pipe that before losing his head in the Tower of London he "took a pipeful of tobacco a little before he went to the scaffold." Inthose days the blending of tobacco was not known, and the art Of cultivation has* effected a wonderful improvement in the "divine weed." What would Raleigh say to-day, for instance, if given the , opportunity of smoking a pipeful of Dill's Best, acclaimed by millions these past eighty years as "the most satisfying tobacco ever made." —Advt.
