Bridport, VT, Nov. 49, Harriet E. (Cutts) Ba-
con, wife of Rev. w. n. Bacon.
In the death OF Mrs. ii. f. Bacon the home
has lost most endeared wife and mother; so.
ctety, n bright ornament; the church, n warm
sympathizer and helper. Her most vigorous
life-work was in the parish Mt Shoreham for
nearly 30 years, teaching In the Sabbath
school, holding adult and juvenile foreign
mission circles. She was of that quiet, gent G
and retiring manner yet decisive, that made
her the useful helper In all relations to home
and society that she was. In her protracted
illness from heart disease for year and nine
months, not murmur escaped her lips; but a
calm, Christian resignation attended her to
the last; and she said, al have no fears in
reference to the future, tor the Good Shepherd
goes with me through to the other side" Her
husband, son and daughter in deep sorrow
miss her all the while. q - -H-D

From the st. Louis Republic.

Did you ever wonder why that little
V-shaped nick was placed at the juucture
of your coat collar with the lapel! | sup
pose you have. Occasionally we all have
our little Illuminating spells, and fall to
wondering the why's of the many odd
things we see about us. Hold your coat up
before you, aud you will see at a glancs
that it would "set" just as well without the
nick as with it. Therefore the matter of
fit cannot be given as proper solution of
the fact that it is there. Without apparent
purpose this nick is clipped from the lapel
of every frock coat worn in the world.
But there was motive in the mad
ness of the first man who adopted
the little insignia of distinc-

first Napoleon gave way to his ambition he
tried to implicate Gen. Moreau in Piohe-
gru's conspiracy. Moreau had been Ma
poleon's superior and was very popular, but
under the circumstances, as Napoleon was
on top, it was not safe to express publicly
any sympathy with Moreau; so his ad-
mirers secretly agreed to nick their coat
lapels to show who they were. Carefully
note the outlines of the first coat front you
see that is well fitted aud buttoned, and see
If you cannot plainly detect the initial letter

A NEW ROCK IN THE ATLANTIC
Long a Menace to Navigation but
Only Recently Found.

only Recently round.
From the London Daily Ne,cs.
The discovery which was announced yes
terday of a new rock in the Atlantic is the
latest information which the admiralty has
thought proper to issue for the warning
and instruction Of mariners. In year
when great preparations are being made to
celebrate the fourth centenary of the famous
adventure by which the American continent
was brought to the knowledge of Europe, a
few square feet of gneiss five and a half
fathoms under water may seem but scanty
addition to the new world. But a rock
covered by the sea is to the sailor often of
infinitely greater Importance than an island
above it. For, while it is not easy to run
against the land. even in the dark, it re-
quires good deal of caution to avoid split
ting vessel ON bank over which it can
not float
Considering that ships have been blowing
almost every inch of the Atlantic for the
last 300 or 400 years, it forms a curious
problem in the mathematical theory Of
chance that up to date not one has grazed
tho rock in question. Nevertheless, it lies
only twenty-five miles off Cape st. Mary's,
on the southern coast of Newfoundland.
and, though covered by thirty-three feet of
water, is right in the track of vessels
making for the mouth of the ST. Lawrence,
and when heavy sea breaks, might form
serious danger to navigation.
Up to two years ago its existence was not
suspected in official circles, but there is rea-
son to believe that for long time past one
Of the fishermen Of st. Johns has been well
acquainted with Its position. But as it was
favorite haunt of cod this prudent person
kept his knowledge to himself, only reveal
ing it when discovery was inevitable by the
surveying ship sent to search for it. As
anticipated, the spot was soon crowded
with fishing boats, SO that the original dis
coverer will lose the profits he had hitherto
reaped from his monopoly, and must re-
main content with the modest reward he has
received and the barren glory of having
the rock named after him. But what will
strike great many seafaring men is that
with all our charts, which are understood
to be continually rev ised, navigation along
even the best known shore is still by no
means free from preventable rs
