mesalliance. True, the bride was hand

Beecher's EulOgy on Garfield.

Memorial services in honor of Presi-
dent Garfield were held at Peekskill.
The number assembled was SO large
that the overflow crowded into the
Presbyterian church and listened to ad-
dresses from various speakers. The
Rev. Henry Ward Beecher pronounced
most impressive eulogy. He said
''This is funeral service, and we are
gathered as household whose father
has been struck down by the hand of
violence. Not even when Lincoln was
slain was there such an exhibition of
universal sympathy. The pulses of the
foreign governments are quickened by
by the common sorrow. Crowned heads,
Legislators and mobiles, and chief of all,
the noble Queen of England, our moth
er country, all have taken this sorrow
into their own bosoms. T look with
profound admiration on the man who
has gone, with profound sympathy for
those nearest to him, but with still
greater admiration do regard the ma
tion of which President Garfield was
the illustrious head. He was stricken
down, but nothing fell with him. The
vast machine did not stop; every func-
tion went on because the government
is the people. No blow struck at sim
gle man can remove that power which
lies in universal citizenship. Four
names of American presidents stand out
conspicuously in history-W Washington,
Jefferson, Lincoln and Garfield, who,
though it was not his good fortune to
complete his task, had arleady develop
ed such noble traits which promised a
rich harvest in later days. He was a
noble man, made illustrious to the end
of time as a military man, as a legisla-
tor, as President, as Christian gentle
man, and as canonized martyr. As
we have passed from boyhood to man
hood in this village, we have met in
services joyful and sad, when political
discussions ran high, when patriotic
memories were recalled, and when the
graves of our heroes were strewed with
flowers, but never on such an occasion as
this, when we share sorrow which
overcomes the whole world. All classes
recognize his greatness and his glory.
He was no cold figure on the page of
history with all the human taken out of
him, but one ofus, with character and
manhood such as we all love and admire.
de is recognized everywhere as the mob
lest example of manhood. The peas
ant grieves for him because from power.
ty he became king; monarchs weep
for him, because, though of humble
birth, he possessed kingly attributes"

A just Tribute.

Senator Voorhees, delivered an elo-
quent address at Garfield memorial
meeting at Terre Haute, Ind, last week.
He said he had known the late Presi-
dent Is years, had served seven years
In Congress with him, and that the kind
ness of his nature and his mental ac-
tivity were his leading traits. "There
was," said Mr.. Voorhees,, "a light in
his face, chord in his voice, and a
pressure in his hand which were full of
love for his fellow-beings +; he had the
Joyous spirits of boyhood and the robust
intellectually of manhood more per-
fectly combined than any man ever
knew. Nature was bountiful to him,
and his requirements were extensive
and solid. If might make compare
son l would say that with the exception
OF Jefferson and John Quincy Adams
he was the most learned President in
what is written in books in the whole
range of American history"

How to be Beautiful.

Most people would like to be hand,
some. All cannot have good features
they are as God made them but almost
anyone can look well, especially with
good health. Tt is hard to give rules in
a very short space, but in brief these
will do:
Keep clean-wash freely. All the
skin wants is leave to act free, and it
takes care of itself. It's thousands of
air holes must not be closed.
Eat regularly, and sleep enough-not
too much. The stomach can no more
work all the time, day and night, than
horse. 1t must have regular work and
rest.
Good teeth are help to good looks.
Brush them with a soft brush, especially
at night. Go to bed with cleansed
teeth. Of course to have white teeth it
is needful to let tobacco alone. All
women know that. Washes for the
teeth should be very simple. Acid may
whiten the teeth, but it takes off the
enamel and Injuries them.
Sleep in cool room, in pure air. No
one can have cleanly skin who breathes
bad air. But more than all, in order
to look we'll, wake up mind, and soul.
When the mind is awake, the dull,
sleepy look passes away from the eyes.

Learn to Work.
engagement

Now, girls, don't allow mother to
darn your stockings attend to this
simple duty yourselves. Fine darning
is really an accomplishment. Take the
care of your entire wardrobe as far as
possible. Don't let a button be off
your shoes minute longer than is
necessary. 1t takes just about min
ute to sew one on. and oh, how much
neater foot looks in trinity buttoned
boot than it does in lop-sided affair,
with half the buttons off. Every girl
should learn to make the simple articles
OF clothing. Make the work study.
Once get in the habit OF hooking over
your things, and you will like it wonder
fully. You will have the independent
feeling that you need not wait for any
ones convenience in repairing and
making, but that you can be before hand
in all such matters. The relief to our
weary mother will be more than you
can estimate. When you become as
old and worn as she is, you will know
how much, every little helps"

&" CheckS.0

A "society" item says it is now the
fashion for the bridegroom and bride to
receive checks for wedding presents.
The custom is an old one. A man who
married rich young woman last spring
received big check about an honr
after the ceremony was performed. It
came from police officer. In less than
ten hours he would have taken passage
with his bride for Europe, if he had not
been checked by the officers. He had
led checkered career with false checks
and such. The bride could not check
her tears, and her father could hardly
check an impulse to kick the villain in
side out. We never heard of society
wedding at which there were so many
checks.-Norristolon Herald.
