Three youIhs-Edgar Miller, son Of w

Our information is that all the physl-

occurripg in their experience. The
whole nervous system was prostrsted
from the FIRST Of The attack. and although
their bes, efforts were directed to pro-

The suddenness Of the deaths OF these
three interesting youths and The c!rcum-

and melancholy. All Of them were noted
for their excellence OF character and de-

DISTRIBUTIONS.

We would call attention TO the opinion OF
one of the leading papers Of Canada on this sub
ject:
Most OF our readers have no doubt read some
Of the numerous advertisements of Gift Enter
prises, Gift Concerts, Sc, which appear from
time to time 10 the public prints, Offering most
tsmpting bargains 10 those who will patronze
them. In most cases these are genuine hum
bugs. But there are few respectable firms
who do business in this manner, and they do ii
as means of increasing their wholesale BUSH
ness, and not to make money. From such firms,
II is true, handsome and valuable articles are
procured for very small sum, and what is
more important, no one is ever cheated. Eve
ry person gets good value for his dollar; be-
cause, as we have stated, it is intended 10 act
as an advertisement 10 Increase tneir ordinary
business.
We have seen numbers Of prizes sent out in
This way by SHERMAN, WATSON s. COMPANY,
of Nassau Street, n. Y, and there is no doubt
that some of the articles are worth eight or
ten times Inc money paid for them, while we
have not seen or heard of single article which
was not fully worth the dollar which it cost.
But this is the only one of the exceptions OF
this rule, for as a general thing the parties en-
gagged in this business are nothing but clever
swindlers. Saturday Reader, Montreal, C. T..

The diseased was born in ITO Of a
poor but respectable couple-Houesty
and Patriotism. The first seven years of
her life were struggle with misery, even
as were the closing seven. But she grew
up beautiful lass. and made her entree
into society in 1887, winning the admira-
ton Of friends and the jealousy Of rivals.

tachment for Principle. A happy union
followed, and in course of events a nu-
merous offspring rose up TO bless her
The duties Of maternity, however, did
not detract from her beauty. and as she
advanced in years she seemed to increase
in loveliDess. Devoting herself ezcIu.
siycly to the care Of her numerous family,
and sure Of the ever encuring love of her
spouse, the future lay before her brigh: as
the vision Of bcae titude.
But alas for human frailty. In an evil
hour, elderly matron though she was, she

The poor old mother, heart-bToken by the
disgrace of her household, was struck
with paralysis, aud has been bedriddcn
for several years. The physicians who
attended her were chosen by her unprin,
cipled husband, aud the public opinion Is,
that they were employed to kill instead
of cure, as the old lady was an obstacle to

aud that of her children. Last Monday
after unh.ard of suffering and anguish,
she breathed her last.

that you will publish it, that Jefferson

a waterproof article Of clothing, something
like "hayelock.o

wore hat, and did not carry pail Of
water on his head, nor carry pail, bucket,
nor kettle in anyway.
ITO the best Of my recollection, he car
ried nothing whatever in his hands. His
wife did not tell any person that her hus-
band might hurt somebody if he got ex-
asperated. She behaved like lady. and
he as gentleman, though manifestIy he
was ehagrined at being taken into custo-
dy. Our soldiers behaved like gentlemen
