WOOlen Suits for Spring.

The polonaise predominates among the
plain suits of wooden stuffs for spring.
Among these are wool brocades of ecru
and brown, gray quadrille and basket
woven woolens, small checked goods,
and plain challis trimmed with brocaded
bands. The small pin-head checks of
black, blue or brown with white are
made up for young girls suits without
any trimming except that given by rows
of machine stitching. The skirt is plain,
with the exception of few kilt plaits set
in the back breadths like fan train !;
the front breadths are turned up and
stitched. The long slender polonaise is
also stitched, and has many small round
buttons of horn or of wood. The wrap
is an English walking jacket, longer and
more closely fitted than they have been
worn of late, and with plating set in be-
hind. The square pockets have flaps
half their depth, and buttons set on in

The Druggists Profits.

A story was told in an eastern paper
some years since that serves to illustrate
the profits in the retail drug business.
A village druggist advertised for boy
to help him in the store. He accepted
the first young lad who applied. He
waited on customer and sold him m
article for thirty cents, taking a twenty
five cent postal scrip and nickel five
cent piece. He took the money to his
employer, who informed him that the
paper money was counterfeit. "Never
mind, old fellow, sold the young clerk,
encouragingly, $50 the nickel is good
you make four hundred per cent. any
way" A singular fashion has grown up
in the United States which requires that
a drug store shall be fitted up like pal.
ace. In many cases the pictures and
articles designed for show cost much
more than the stock of goods.

Tho DOg's.MeAt Man.

In Gray's Inn Lane, not long ago,
An old maid lived Il life of woe.
She was iifty-throo, with face like tan,
When she fell in love with the Dog gs-noat Man.
She very much liked this Dog's-meat Nah
lie wax very good-looking Dog's-meat Man
Her roses and lilies were turned to tan
When she fell in love with the Dog g's-ineat Man.
Every morning he went by,
Whether the weather was wet or dry,
And right opposite to her door did stan,
And cried, "Dog's meat !" did the Dogs-mcat
Man.
Then her cat would run out to the Dog's-m
Man,
And rub against the legs Of tho Dog 's-mcat
Man;
Then he took up his barrow and away hc ran,
And cried, "Dog 's-meat !" did the Dogs-moat
Man.
One day she kept him at her door
Attacking half an hour or more;
For you must know this was her plan
To get good look Mt the Dog Man.
"If I'd fivc-pound note" said the Dog 's-meat
Man,
"Td set up tripe shop" said the Dog's-meat
Man,
Sand I'd marry you tomorrow. She admired
the plan,
And che lent hvc-pound note to the Dogs
meat Man.
The very next morning he was seen
In coat and breeches of velveteen.
To Bagnggc Wells she went, in bran
New gown, and she walked with the Dog's-mcat
Man.
She had biscakcs and ale with the Dog's-meat
Man,
And she walked arm in arm with the Dog
Man,
And all the people that round did stan
Said "My eye what dandy is the Dogs
meat-Man!'
Next morn she at her door did stan
To keep lookout for the Dog's-4eat Man;
But he never coined, and she then began
To think she was fooledby the Dog g's-meat Man.
So she went out to look for the Dog gs-meat Man.
But she couldn't find the Dog's-meat man.
Some friends gave her for to understan'
He'd wife and seven children, had this Dogs
meat Man.
So she went home in grief and tears,
All her hopes transformed to fears;
And her hungry cat to NEW began,
As much as to say, "Where's the Dog 's-mcat
Man?'
She couldn't help thinking of that Dog's-meat
Man,
That cheating, good-looking Dog g's-meat Man.
So you see, in one days short span,
She lost her heart, her tive-pound note, and tho
Dog's-meat Man.

But Helen revived Mt his voice, and
spoke such words OF pure devotion to
her benefactor that Wallace cried:
"Thy soul and Marions are indeed

To give her an unquestioned right to

of the prison pronounced the words that
mnde Helen Mar the wife of the doomed
patriot Life was offered him ut the
price of dishonor, but he refused the
gift. The furious Edward would not re-
lent, and Wallace was led to the scaffold.
But as he clasped the brave Helen in n
last embrace, his soul escaped from it's
earthly tenement before the executioner
could act his cruel part.
The agonized Bruce, whom weakness
resulting from wounds had prevented
from aiding his friend, followed Helen
to London, and in his frenzied grief was
hardly restrained from assaulting Ed
ward, single handed, in his palace. But
calmer counsels prevailed, and the royal
mourner returned to Scotland, where
Wallace's death had relghted the fires of
patriotism and steeled every true heart
against the English usurper. At BAN
nockburn the power OF Edward was
broken aud the Countess of Mar, baffled
by Bruce's triumph, became raviig
maniac.
Upon the day of Bruce's coronation
the body of William Wallace was return
ed to its native land. Over his coffin
the mysterious iron box, confded to his
care the day he rescued the Earl of Mar,
was opened, and found to contain the
regalia of Scotland. The pale yet beau
tiful Helen, clad in nuns black vest
ments, knelt by the bier as the crown
was placed on Bruce's head.
"Look up, he cried, "and let thy
soul, discoursing with our Wallace, tell
him that Scotland is free and Bruce a

She spoke not, she moved not. Both

The Niagara Falls Gazette has the fol
lowing account of the singular suicide O.
an unknown young man Mt the falls
About noon, one day recently, a stranger
apparently about twenty-five years O
age, dressed in dark clothes, with black
slouch hat, and snuff colored overcoat
his face smooth, with the exception of AZ
auburn mustache, applied at the upper
gate to Prospect Park for admittance,
and after paying his fee entered and
walked along the bank to point just be-
low the tail race that empties in the
river. An attache of the park walked
down toward the stranger for the pur-
pose of directing him where to obtain the
most attractive views of the scenery
around the grounds. His attention was
attracted from the man for moment. and
when he turned was thunderstluck to see
the stranger wading out into the rapids.
He instantly shouted "Come back,
you fool, you will go over the falls !"
The only attention the man paid to this
gratuitous advice was to throw himself
forward ON his face, and strike out lust
lily for the brink of the cataract. just
below where he entered was small cas-
cade, over which he was carried and
under the water out of sight for a mo-
ment. When he emerged his hat was
off, and a moment later he obtained n
foothold in the rapids, and stood up
waist-deep in the foaming water. Nit
chell, the park attache, had by this time
reached Prospect point, where he had
hastened in hopes of being able to reach
the man when he came down the stream
The stranger, standing in the rapids,
saw Mitchell, and, divining lls intention,
instantly struck out again, swimming
Justify out further from the shore, and
successfully placing himself far beyond
the aid of the astounded man on the
bank. just as the stranger reached the
brink, and as he went over, he doubled
himself up, clasped his hands over his
head, and went down to his death. OF
course the body of the suicide has not
been recovered, and the chances are
against it's ever being found. There is
no clue whatever to the identity of the
stranger. 1t is thought that he arrived
in town on Conductor Story's morning
train from Lewiston, although it cannot
definitely be ascertained whether he
came at that time or earlier in the morn
ing, owing to the very meager account
given of the suicides personal appear
ance. AS consequence nothing is known
of the reason impelling the suicide to
commit self-destruction. Those who saw
him say he had every appearance of be-
ing sober and in his right mind. At the
present time of writing no inquiries have
been made here for any missing party,
and the mystery surrounding the affair
remains,as impenetrable as ever.

Petroleum on Shingles.

In regard to applying petroleum to
shingles to preserve them, a writer says
1t enters the pores of the wood at once,
and as it hardens makes it more compact
in texture, and rather less liable to take
fire. The petroleum also prevents the
surface of the shingles from rising in
downy fibers, or Z" fuz," and it is on the
whole not so liable to fire from sparks
when treated with it. Wehave tried the
experiment with shingles oiled some
time previously, and find they are not so
easily ignited by outside fire, although
when once burning, they will, of course,
produce more flame than the wood with
oiit the petroleum. Petroleum is also
very good to apply to the iron work and
steel of farm implements to prevent their
rusting when not in use. The crude ar

OBITUARY.

The announcement Of the death of Herman
X. Sharpe, Esq, of this village, was surprise
to the most of his friends. He was not consid-
cred seriously i'll till Friday of last week, when
decided symptoms of pneumonia showed them
selves, though for several days he had been
troubled with heavy cold. He died Monday
morning. The funeral obsequies were held at
the house of Mrs. q. F. Fowler, where the de
ceased had boarded. The services were con
Quoted by Rev. II. G.. Blinn, assisted by Reys.
Short and Gardner. The remains were taken
to the cemetery at Buskirks Bridge to be in
TERED. His wife, who survives him. was too
ill to attend the funeral, and the only
relative was Hon. b. T. NfcNitt, brother-in-
law, and his daughter. Fl. K Sharpe was born
at Whitesboro, y. Y, but his fathers family
moved to White Creek when he was still an
infant. At the age of ten he was adopted by
an uncle, with whom he worked on a farm till
he was fourteen, at which time he was appren-
ticed to learn the trade of carriage making.-
He worked faithfully at the same for two years,
when he determined to get an education. This
he succeeded in getting at the Cambridge Wash
ington Academy, attending the school during
the summer and teaching district school during
the winter. When sufficiently advanced in his
studies he entered the law-office of the late
Judge Howe of this village. He remained two
Salem and entered the office of Hon. John s
Crazy, at that time one of the foremost lawyers
of this section. After he was admitted to
practice, he formed co-partnership with Crary
and entered at once into the active practice of
his profession. He was considered the most
brilliant young lawyer at the bar his rise was
rapid; he was soon admitted to practice in all
of his courts and became a master in chancery.
He remained in Salem till about 1913 when he
removed to Cambridge, where he has continued
to reside and practice his profession till the
day of his death, with but one interruption of
about three years in the West recuperating his
health, from which trip he only returned last
fall. His health had not been good for wears
and he was seriously embarrassed by it in his
profession. This undoubtedly prevented his
fulfilling all the promises of his earlier years.
He was a good counselor and always counseled
peace. In village matters he took quite
active part, being quite conservative in his
ideas. He was deeply interested in the success
of the school in the west district of the village
and was member of the Board of Education.
Since the death of Dr.. Gray he was the oldest
professional man in town. He was twice mar
, RED the first time in Salem to Jane Martin of
that town. She died in 1875. His second wife
who survives, was daughter OF the late Capt.
Ezra Smith. He will be missed as citizen and
lawyer, AMI much by many as friend.
The above notice of the death of a
gentleman who during his stay of sew
eral months in this city made him many
warm friends, is taken from the Wash
ington County Post of the Goth inst,
published at Cambridge, N. Y. Mr..
Sharpe was q brother of Mrs. 0. r.
Bacon, of this city.
