Mrs. SARAH +. FLINT.-We regret to
chronicle the death of this worthy wom-
an. She died Friday, Apr. 10Th at half
past two, of pneumonia. An interesting
family of five boys and one girl are left
TO the care of their father. Mrs. Flint,
three weeks before her death had left her
home to care for sick neighbor and re-
manned there until too sick herself to
stay longer. Her stay at home was only
long enough to enable her TO be about
the house when she again left her home
to care for motherless boy in the neigh
borhood. This last work was too tax
ing and two days after she was carried
home sick unto death. Though of a weak
constitution her whole life had been
much ms the last three weeks, one of
self-denial for others. Her neighbors
lose a.constant friend, her children, a
good mother, her husband true wife.
The thirty-first chapter of Proverbs,
which was read at her funeral, was
descriptive of her character and life.
She had been for about fifteen years a
member of the Braintree Congregational
church. Her funeral Sunday, Apr. 2lst
gathered together many kind and SYM
pathizing friends. Sermon by Rev. W..
+. Peters.

Lightning Rods.

The Electrical Review published not long ago an article upon lightning rods, claiming that these are of no value as a preventive against lightning, and that future genera tions will consider rod on a house as much relic of superstition as a horseshoe nailed over the door Popular Science News, com menting on the above, says: We think these assertions are altogether too sweeping, and consider properly applied lightning rod of great value. It is true that we do not fully understand the lAws which govern the pas sage of lightning stroke; but there are too many cases on record where a rod has carried off the discharge without harm, to say that they are of no value whatever It is fact, however, that very few rods are properly ap- piled. the most important point, good earth connection, being nearly always neglected. Unless this is properly attended to, a rod is of little or no value.

What Is Impeachment?

There are two opinions as to impeachment ill the United States, arising out of the vague wording of the constitution: L That an i'm peachment can be ordered only for crimes on which the defendant is also liable to indict ment, and ?, that it can be ordered when ever the house thinks that high officer has been guilty of acts which, though not crim inal, should cause his removal from and dis qualification for office. These questions are yet unsettled Only two of the seven persons inpeached before the senate have been con victed, of these, Judge Pickering was con victed on March l2, 1903, by strict party vote Judge Humphreys, who had not re- signed his office to become a Confederate judge, was convicted on June 26 1862. unani- mously; but this impeachment was merely formal, that his office might be declared va can't Our system of impeachment is out of date, and probably will not be used more fire quently in the future than in the past.

rasbions for sum,ner Dresses.

The empire waist so suitable for thin sum- mer goods is similar to an ordinary belted waist, with all its features accentuated, and worn with q broad sash. The fronts of this waist are gathered on the shoulders and lap in surplice fashion on the bust, and sometimes the back is also lapped. Other waists have the fronts gathered to the shoulders of the plain back and open in V shape at the throat, then drawn down to the waist line, while still others are draped across the front in curving folds and trimmed down only one side. The full, straight skirt is in keeping with these waists
 Full figures dorot look well in belted waists and should wear instead basques or round waists made with darts and side forms The princesse dress so becoming to full, rounded figures is being made up in various ways il all cotton stuffs Long polonaises in princesse shape very slightly draped on the left side and the directoire redingotes with separate panels in the back and sides, are made of plain Chambery or lawn to wear above em- broidered skirts that may be of the same fabric or else of white embroidered muslin.- Harper'S BaZar

India Rubber for Paving Streets.

For paving streets, india rubber threatens to enter into competition with asphalt. This new pavement, according to the Engineering and Building Record, is the invention of Herr Busse of Linden, Prussia who has in- troduced it in Hanover The Berlin corpor- ation being favorably impressed with the new pavement, has had a large area paved with india rubber as an experiment, and the magistracy of Hamburg is likewise trying the pavement It is asserted that the new pavement combines the elasticity of india rubber with the resistance of granite It is said to be perfectly noiseless, and unaffected either by heat or cold. It is not 30 slippery as asphalt, and is more durable than the latter. As a covering for bridges, it ought to prove excellent, as it reduces vibration; but question nay be asked as to its cost.

How the suD's Heat Is Supposed to P,
 ThrouRh SDuce.

How the suns Heat Is Supposed to Pass
 Through Space.
 Dr Henry Rogers, of Dunkirk, N Y., has thus stated one of the theories of how we get the suns heat, referring to the ice lens as proof
 The sun and earth are separated by the distance of 3OO0, ,O00 miles, and this space is infinitely cold and dark. The suns rays, as they pass through this infinity of distance and cold and darkness, are invisible. They reach out from the sun to our atmosphere without in the slightest manner revealing their pres ence. They contain neither warmth nor brightness In fact, the temperature of the universal space is estimated by Secchi at IS, OOO.OO0 degs below zero Fahr Yet, notwith standing the infinity of the distance which separates the sun and earth. and the cold and darkness which pervade all space the ice lens is able to gather these invisible and inconceiv ably cold sun rays and converge them to a focus and thereby set fire to combustibles, explode gunpowder and even to melt lead.
 It may not consistently be claimed that ac- tual heat can cross the void of space so cold, or that actual light penetrates such utter darkness. The Ice lens of Metius therefore

Fatigue of Sight.

Experiments have recently been made showing in what order a fatigued eye re- covers the power of perceiving different col ors. The important factor is what color has been used to induce fatigue If the eye has been fatigued by long exposure to red. tue sensitiveness for green is the first to reappear then for blue, then yellow. and finally red. After blue fatigue" the order is yellow, red, green, blue. after green fatigue' the order of recovery is red. blue. yer low, green. after yellow fatigue" Ii is red, blue, green, yellow The eye recovers last the perception of the color by which the fatigue has been induced. and first rec'overs the sensiriveuess for the complement tary color The fatigue, according to Sci ence, is in the retina. for it is an independ ent phenomenon in the two eyes

Fashions in Flowers.

Real flowers, instead of favors, have been freely distributed of late among wedding guests. At one wedding each favor was com posed of a Marshal Mel rose, a spray of orange blossom and a sprig of white heath Ia badgel. at another lilies of the valley and their leaves, tied with silver cord and tassels, and accompanied by a pearl headed pin to fix it in by The flowers will be those of the season, as the time goes on, till we arrive at the month of roses A few bridal and bail bouquets have recently been made up on a fat circular or oval frame, with curled os- trich tips placed round the edge, and all the delicate blooms massed within the plumed ring. A large bow at the handle and back of drawn lace or satin completed the arrange ment. For room decorations great branches of lemon ard orange trees, with fruit on them, are put into large, tall receptacles. These are costly. but ill many cases the leaves and branches are not the real thing, though many peopie fail to detect it, and the fruit is cleverly attached. The effect is excellent.

To the inlet and overflow tubes is fitted a valve consisting of a metal ball or 0 marble. The fitting is accomplished by simply driving the ball against the end of each tube, so as to form valve seats Four wires are in- serted in the stopper around the inlet tube to prevent the escape of the valve The dis tance which should separate these tubes as well as the weight of the ball valve Is de- terInined by experiment.

An Old Puritan Law.


 A correspondent of The Boston Transcript gives the following:
 In looking over some old family papers find the following, which may be of interest at this date
 On Wednesday, Dec. %, l793, the commit tee chosen at the late town meeting for the purpose, waited on his excellency the gov ernor and presented the following adddress:
 May it please your excellency-Y Your fel- low citizens, the inhabitants of the town of Boston, have determined to solicit the legis- lature at their next session for a repeal of the law which prohibits theatrical entertain ments within the commonwealth, and they have thought proper to request your excel lency's aid on this occasion. As they cannot conceive, from your enlightened opposition to every encroachment on the sacred limits of the constitution, that you would decline to afford proper support to an application which at once contemplates the establish ment of an elegant and rational amusement, and the repeal of compulsory statute, formed in violation not only of those liberal maxims which your excellency's administra- tion has hitherto vindcated and confirmed, but of that confidence in the virtue and dis cretion of the people which you have uni formly expressed and inculcated-"
 To which his exceuency was pleased to re- turn the following answer:
 ''The honor and happiness of the town of Boston has ever been dear to me, and l feel myself as a private individual highly inter ested in the welfare of my fellow citizens of this town In my official capacity as chief magistrate of the commonwealth am sensible that my duty will urge me to support the constitution and the laws of our republic Nh, .e representatives shall be pleased to lay before me a bill respecting theatrical entertain ments, will give it a candid examination, and approve or disapprove of it according to what shall then conceive to be my duty to my constituents
