Fear Of discovery, when she resorts to
false hair and dyes, is source Of con-
slant anxiety TO her. The very persons
from whom she most desires TO hide the
waning OF her charms are the ones most
likely to make the discovery. But there
is no reason why she should not regain
and retain all the beauty OF hair that was
her pride in youth. Let her use AYERS

cease to fall out, but new growth will

Perhaps the best known blackboard driver
IN Maine, says the Lewiston Journal. is II
3. McAllister of Andoyer, who is Il years
old and yet jolts over the road through the
woods to the lakes, carrying freight or pas
sengers every day.
The old blackboard driver is not quite so
spry as he used to be when he used TO
wrestle with caribou and catamounts, Just
for diversion, on his way through the wild
forest bridle-path; but he is as straight as
an AndOver pine. and as wiry to-day as
any man on the road Were it not for the
gray whiskers that straggle over his cheeks
his face would not show his age.
Forty years ago, when McAllister began
to carry supplies for the lumbermen, there
was not even the present rough road 10 the
south arm. He had to climb over the
mountains by the only path then known.
The woods were full of noble game then.
There isn't hill in sight of
Andover on which McAllister hasn't
killed a moose. lie told me he had
made $50 to $40 a day hunting in those
palmy old times. ltwas nothing TO kill two
or three moose between sunrise and sunset.
lie was built for hunter, and was per-
fectly reckless of exposure. He has been
out sixteen days and nights with nothing
but his blanket and his gun and AK, pursu-
ing the moose.

Dinner TnbIe Decorat,ons.

To dispense with the white cloth and its
place to use red or old-goid cloth is bar
barism, nor can colOred napkins be recon-
mended, as nothing but pure white is more
suitable for the purpose.
The fashion of putting piece of plush,
satin or embroidered material down the
center OF the table is a good one, for if the
color is chosen 10 harmonic not only with
the tone of the decorations of the room, but
also with the flowers on the table, it will be
found that it is an assistance in arranging
the flowers, and by providing some color it
makes the flowers tell more, and therefore
lever OF them are necessary.
1t is well to avoid putting any very
strong-Scented flowers. such as hyacinthS,
wall-Iowers, gardeniaS or syringa, on the
table, as some people are sensitive TO pow
erful perfumes, and may, in consequence,
be unable to remain at the table where such
flowers are.
No dessert should be put on the table; the
smell of the fruit is heavy and faint, and so
little Is eaten that four dishes to hand after
dinner are enough, whereas, if put on the
table, eight at least would be necessary.
Little china figures with baskets OF baked
almonds and pistachiOS are liked, and the
eolors may be made TO harmonic with the
flowers.
Fashion now DEGREES that we shall have
only one sort of flowers on the table, and
have candles and candle shades and lamp
shades all of the same tint, silk being the
prevailing material for these shades.
III expense is no object there can be
nothing to surpaSS the exquisite Marechal

AT SOME houses buttOnhOle flowers for
the gentlemen and sprays for the ladies are
handed round in basket after dinner; it is
pleasing fancy, but one. of course, that
adds considerable to the expense.
Some ladies prefer tall, slender vases,
with few flowers. such as arumS or jon

A somewhat remarkable man was Mr..
Mattock, and yet a good man and a good
scholar. He was a solid, sound preacher.
according to the orthodox doctrine: a COM
nonsense, matter of-fact individual. who
believed in uniting the material with the
spiritual world. for while he taught religion
he also dealt largely with the hum
drum affairs of life. He was not
an eloquent or magnetic preacher.
and yet he was a man of good, sound
Judgment and reliability. He was a
minister in st. Paul nineteen years. and died
IN 1919, having maintained his position I'M
lnterruptedly with his congregation during
that long period. The father of Mr.. Mat
toek was once governor of Vermont. and a
member of congress from that state for two
terms. Mr.. MattOck himself was born in
Vermont in 1914, and, graduating at Mid
dlebury college in 1882, commenced the
study of law, but gave it up Tor the pursuit
OF religion, and, after preparing himself.
graduated at the theological department OF
ale college. He was pastor of a cOngre-
CATION at KeeSeville, n. Y, for eigh-
teen years, when ne removed to
st Paul in 1856, and succeeded
Mr. NELL as the pastor of the First Pres
Dyterlan church, and at the same time he
became very much interested in educational
matters; so that he was elected secretary OF
the school board and superintend-
ent of schools in 1860. which posi-
ton he held up to 1872. He was
also member of the Historical society,
much interested in matters and theories OF
an antiquated nature, and lover OF
geology. He was quiet, pleasant man;
moderate and consistent in his views. and
yet decided in his opinions, and had the
faculty of holding the friends he made. His
son. DR.. Brewer Mattock, was an unex-
ceptionally fine young man, at one time
city and county physician of st. Paul. He
was small, quick, affable and true, good,
manly citizen.
