The death of Edwin NJ. Stanton on the oath
of December was somewhat of a surprise,
though he had been i'll for some time. He
had MANY enemies in Washington and else
where and his taking off created something of
a sensation. The claim that he died "a MARTYR
to his dOuntry" was warmly cOmbatted. 1t was
said that other men had worked as hard, many
harderI than he, while in office, and that if
every nan who did any part of his official duty
during the nations crisis is to be set down as
a mart yr, the list would become inconyeniently
long. The funeral took place on the 27th and
was largely attended.

Those in the Northern States who take
down their stoves early in May usually
pay a penalty in several davs of discom-
fort, If NOT in actual illness. A wear rare
ly passes without bringing a cold storm
in the first halfof June, when a fire is ac-
1ually necessary for health Fortunate
are those who have open fire places in
their houses. in which during any damp,
chilly spell, a small fire of wood can be
made, and viii be most acceptable
Stoves which are to be taken down may
safely be left to the middle Of the pres
ent mouth. When taken down they
should be thoroughly cleaned, both in
side and out, and if new lining or other
repairs aTeneeded, now is the time to at
tend to this. Go over the outside of both
stove and pipe with common stove polish
which is plumbago or black lead, and
avoid all kinds Of yarnish. The use of
the polish, thoroughly rubbed on with a
brush, is not for appearance merely, but
it forms a thin film over the iron, and
prevents it from becoming rusty. The
pipe should have all dust knocked out,
and if it is necessary to separate the
joints, first mark them with chalk in such
a manner that they can be readily put
together again. Much Of the proverbial
annoyance in putting up stove is due to
a neglect of this simple precaution All
loose parts, including legs, should be
wrapped IN coarse paper, and placed in
side OF the stove before it is put away,
not forgetting the poker, handles, and
whatever else belongs with it. Stoves
should always be stored in a dry, tight
place where water cannot accidentally
reach them. 1t is a useful precaution to
wrap them in old bagging or even news

Look to Your Stove Pipes,

At the close of the winter as the warm
season approaches and less artificial heat
is needed, the danger from stopped tiues
and pipes becomes a serious matter. Dur
ing the winter large quantities of fuel
have been consumed and SCOT and ashes
have been carried forward and become
deposited in those section of 1ues where
they can obtain a lodgment. In horizon
tai pipes the accumulations are large, in
many cases almost or quite stopping the
draft into the chimney, and in vertical
pipes SCOT adheres to the interior surface
50 as greatly to impede the flow of the
products of combustion Under these
circumstances, the use of stoves and fur
naces becomes source of absolute dan
ger in the spring months, and they should
receive prompt attention. In all cases
the pipes should be taken down and the
deposits thoroughly removed, and this
duty can be attended to on any mild day.
Furnaces and pipes in cellars should not
be permitted to remain without efficient

National Woman's Suffrage Association.

The seventh convention of the National Wo-
mans Suffrage Association was held at Bed
ford, Mass, May 10. The president, Mrs Har-
rette b. Shattuck, of Maiden, was in the chair,
Mrs Shattuck first spoke of the need of women
voting, in order that the influence which makes
the home the best institution in the land may
also extend to the State. In order to accomp-
lish this, women, she said, must take part in
governmental affairs. Rev. Howard Hanaford
and DIR. Hosmer, of Bedford, Mrs. French, of
Boston, and others addressed the convention in
favor of woman suffrage. Miss Caroline Roach
recited "How | Went to Election" from the
sayings of ''Josiah Aliens Wife," The session
closed with the singing of an original hymn,
written by Mrs. II. H. Robinson. At 6 O'Clock
the guests partook of bountiful collation. pre-
pared by the ladies of the town. The conVen-
ton reassembed at 7.3O P. NJ, and listened to
addresses by Mrs. Robinson on "Who Repre-
sents MeT'; by Mrs. Sarah A. Underwood on
"Women in Politics )" and Mrs. Harrette Shat
tuck on ''Why We Want the Ballot Miss
Roach gave another reading, and the exercises
closed with singing by the company. A petition
praying for national legislation in regard to wo-
man suffrage was numerously signed.

Baptist Statistics.

Some care has been taken in recent years to
get at accuracy in general statistics. Eccesias-
tical statistics of late have been gotten up with
very exceptional care. The very natural de-
sire to show prosperity has been held in reason
able check. After very patient examination of
the returns the Baptists have arrived at what
they think truthful estimate of their numer-
cal strength. OF Baptist churches the total is
in Europe, 3,019; in Asia, 5l4; in Africa, 80; ;
in America, "a, ,753, and in Australia, 127. The
membership is-in Europe, 3l6514; in Asia,
"a, 4,006; in Africa, 1,147; in America, Alb, 721,
and in Australia, 1900. The total number of
Baptist churches throughout the world is 49,
800. OF pastors or ministers attached to these
churches there are II ,6S3, and the entire men,
bershp is estimated at 2,473,OSS. 1t is Il goodly
exhibit and is indicative of steady prosperity.
The Baptists constitute one of the smallest of
the great denominations, but they are active
and energetic and do fair share of the mis-
sionary work attempted by the Protestant
churches.

A Clock That Paid off $1,000 Mortgage.
A CHARACTERISTIC STORY OF THE l. ATE JFRE-
MIAH CURTISS.

A CHARACTERISTIC STORY OF THE L ATE JERE-
MIAH CURTISS.
A correspondent of the New York Tribune
tells the following story concerning the late Jer-
emiah Curtiss, formerly of Liberty :: The no.
tice in the Tribune of the death of jeremiah
Curtiss reminds me of very pleasant acquaint-
ance with that gentleman, and the story of a
clock, as related by him at his houIe twenty
years ago, more or less. He called my aten-
ton to clock standing at the entrance to the
drawing-room at the head of the first flight of
stairs. 1t was an old-fashioned affair with its
case standing some six feet high. MI. Curtiss'
story ran thus:
In the previous summer he had been travel
ing in the State of Maine with his wife, who
was native of that State. She expressed a
wish to visit the house of her childhood, which
had now passed into the possession of strangers.
Thither they went, and upon enteringthe house
she discovered that the old family 9ock was
standing in its place as she had known it in her
childhood days. She expressed wish that we
might purchase it, if the owners could be in
duced to sell. A proposition was therefore
made for the old clock, which was finally ac-
cepted, and the price of fifty dollars was paid.
The clock was packed and sent to Brooklyn
and taken to a shop for complete renovation
and repair
The clock-man reported the clock valuable
one, saying that it was of German manufac-
tures anu that 1t was not less than loo years
Olu ana tllal III was SOOu Tor anOtner l0O years.
Then Mr.. and Mrs. Curtiss consulted togetll-
er, questioning among themselves if they had
not paid too small sum for the clock, consd-
ering its reported value.
In order to quiet their consciences in the
matter they resolved to send the people of
whom they had purchased the clock another
sum of money, and accordingly $3.50 WAS sent.
BY return mail letter came from the mother
of the family acknowledging the receipt of the
money, and thanking Mr. and Mrs. Curtiss
most heartily, saying: That mon icy came
straight from Heaven; for demand had just
been made for payment ON the mortgage on
our place. and we had not the money to meet
it, and we had given up in despair THAT our
home must 60 Just then your money came,
which has enabled us to make the PAYMENT, and
our home is sayed.'
Touched by the pathetic story above related,
they wrote to know how much the mortgage
was upon the place. In reply it appeared that
the original mortgage was for $lOOD, which
was now reduced by the $3.50 Just paid. Anoth-
er consultation followed in which tbd yaue of
the clock was considered and the satisfaction it
was affording them and the result of the con-
ference was that the old farm in Maihe should
be cleared of its mortgage, and thereupon IL
sum was remitted for the purpose.
