of charitable ladies from Philadelphia
and New York, spending the summer
at Island Heights, on Toms river,
N. j., are engaged in raising donations
of money and clothing for Mrs.
johnson, residing in a small cottage at
that place, who has just given birth to
her third set of triplets. The latest
arrivals are three chubby, Growing
children, the picture of health-and all
girls. The only way that they are
distinguished from each other is by
their clothing, which some of the ladies
had mischievously marked "Faith, -
"Hopc," and "Charity." The parents
are both large and well formed per-
sons, and Mrs johnson is employed as
laborer on a neighboring farm. The
six other children of Mr.. and Mrs.
johnson are all stout and healthy, and
all under eight years of age. The cot
tagers and boarders in the neishbor.
hood have given parlor entertainments,
taken up collections, and have resorted
to various other means of relieving the
family, who are poor in circumstances
A large purse has already been raised.

These Watches are all open face. The

fitted it'll an especially prepared waterproof
cement, is attached to the case by screwine
