friendship was all the more precious,
because it was not given to the many.
Caring little for display, she gave her
best and brightest to the quiet circle
of friends and home-it was there
her laugh was heard oftenest and her
repartee was keenest.
She was gifted with rare love for
music, but SO quiet and unassuming
in her way, that only those who knew
her best ever realized the full measure
of her talent. But they will never
forget the beautiful accompaniment
played to voice or flute, the dainty
improvisations of ripping melody
that followed every change of tune,
from tenderest song to the stateliness
of martial airs. Dear hands! whose
fingers are so silent now, in that fairer
world surely you have found new,
sweet Neutrality-suspicious. chords IN
that harmony, whose echoes Hllea
life's latest dreams.
As a member of this Club, how
sadly she will be missed. She was its
first secretary, and through the days
to come, there will linger long with
us tender recollections of her pleas
ant ways, her bright wit, her melodies
and the gracious acquiescence she
gave to every duty. No caprice of
hers ever marred programme. All,
friends to many of us her place will
be forever vacant-one chord in the
music forever missing.
For her life's round of duties is
complete; she has entered into that
long, sweet day of rest, leaving the
assurance that those who in life's
battle firm do stand, "shall bear
Hopes tender blossoms into the Silent
Land"

IN MEMORIAM.

''0f all the thoughts of God that are
Borne inward unto souls afar,
Along the PLalmist's music deep,
Now tell me If that any is,
For gift or grace, SURPRISING this
He gveth His Beloved sleepT"
Very gently and quietly on the 10th
Of August, 'S9, came this blessed sleep
to Mrs. Laura G. Lewis. For many
weeks she had bravely borne her suf-
ferings, and though it was known that
life's precious tide was ebbing and
her spirit almost on the other shore,
it made the announcement none the
less sad to her large circle of friends
and associates. So quietly and GER
tainly do our loved ones pass away:
ave hear the dip of the golden oars
And catch CLEAN of the snowy sail
And lol they have passed from our yearning
hearts,
They cross the stream and are gone for aye"
Many year will come and go,
summers sunshine mellow into gold
en- light and autumn glories shine out
upon the distant hill-tops, ere those
who loved her will cease to mourn for
her and miss her gentle friendship.
In her position as Librarian, her
courtesy and cheerfulness had won
her many friends. For the unhappy
she had always ready sympathy,
and was ever quick to defend the OPP
pressed.
But above all, she was so true a
friend, so loving and so loyal, her

RESOLUTIONS
Upon the Death of Mrs. Laura c.
Lewis, Adopted BY the
Round Robin Club.

Round Robin Club.
RESOLVED, That in the death of
Mrs. Laura G. Lewis, the Round
Robin Club has lost an active, cheer
full worker; one who ever put the in
terest of the Club Lefore her personal
pleasure, being ever ready to bright
en- our meetings with her ripples of
melody.
RESOLVED, That in her, we lose a
great mind, noble heart, grand
self-sacrifcing Christian woman; and
that while we mourn, we do rejoice in
the heritage she has left us of life
almost divinely beautiful. The calm
patience with which she met the
crosses of life illustrates most beau
tlfully Christian triumph over aff1ic-
ton and death.
RESOLVED, That as she trusted in
the Master Of earth and sky when the
world about her was bright and beau
tiful, we do rejoice to know He failed
her not, when, toward the end of her
life, the dark pillows swept over her,
and that she was able to yield sweet
submission to His holy will, when
death, like guardian angel, bore her
sinless spirit to eternal rest.
RESOLVED, That while we extend
to her loved ones our tenderest sym
pathy, we bid them go to her resting
place with glad faces, as to the rest
ing-place of conqueror. She is not
dead; such life cannot end; she
lives on earth in the sweet and noble
influences she set at work; she lives
in the hearts of those who loved her;
she lives in heaven, for there is no
grave, no oblivion for Gods precious
dead.
RESOLVED, That we dedicate page
in our Record book to the memory of
Mrs. Laura G. Lewis, who served us
so faithfully as our first secretary,
and that copy of these resolutions
be furnished the family Of the de-
ceased. LIZZIE D. WALKER,

Plants in witchcraft.

Occasionally when the dairy maid
chufned for long time without making
butter, she would stir the cream with a
twig of mountain-ash, and beat the COW
with another, thus breaking the witch 5
spell. But, to prevent accidents of this
kind, it has long been customary in the
northern counties to make the churn-
staff of ash. For the same reason herd
boys employ an ash twig for drivingeat
tie, and one may often see a mountain
ash growing near a house. On the con-
tinent the tree is in equal repute, and in
Norway and Denmark rowan-branches
are usually put over stable-doors to keep
out witches, a similar notion prevailing
in Germany. No tree, perhaps, holds
such a prominent place in witchcraft-
lore as the mountain ash, its mystic
power having rarely failed to render
fruitless the evil influence of these enc
mics of mankind.
To counteract the spell of the evil eve,
from which many innocent persons were
believed to suffer in the witchcraft
period, many flowers have been in requi-
sition among the numerous charms
used. Thus, the Russian maidens still
hang round the stem of the birch-tree
red ribbon, the Brahmans gather rice,
and in Itaty rye is in demand. The
Scotch peasantry pluck twigs of the ash,
the Highland women the grounsel, and
the German folk wear the radish. IN
early times the ringwort was recon-.
mended by Apuleius, and later on the
fern was regarded as preservative
from this baneful influence. The Chi
nese put faith in the garlic; and, in
short, every country has its own special
plants. 1t would seem, too, that after
witch was dead and buried, precaution-
AIRY measures were taken to Illustrate her
baneful influence. Thus, in Russia, as
pen is laid on witch's grave, the dead
sorceress being then prevented from
riding abroad -Popallr Science Monthly.

An Odd Way of Drumming.

The carpet salesman on the road is in
no wise a drummer. He is the com
mercial traveller and the visiting repre-
sentative par excellence. He never ear
lies bundle. You never can meet him
in one of the interior towns or inland
cities with a package of samples under
his arms. His travels are on a very diff
ferent basis.
His equipment of samples is indeed
penderous and of great extent. A full
line of the patterns, colors and combina
tons of the season must he carry with
him. These samples must be of suffi-
GENTLY large size fully TO set forth the
texture and design. They are all of a
size, near unto six feet in length, and
when folded once exactly fit into the
large commercial trunks constructed for
the purpose. The weight of these pieces
of baggage is limited to $50 pounds; his
necessary equipment does not run far
from 1000 pounds.
Upon reaching his temporary destina-
ton he may do either one or two things,
hire a showroom in hotel, spread out
his wares and inveigle prospective
customer therein, or with all his para
phernalia go TO the customer himself.
The latter method is coming more into
vogue. There is greater surety of
catching your man, and from the very
nature Of the case, when once inside his
store, you are securely intrenched there.
Let it be understood that it is not the
custom of the wholesale carpet houses
to endeavor to sell to every man posi-
lala in q small town mr. aifv Thox And
it pays much better to keep their lines
and patterns on sale in single house,
on in larger cities in two, or three, or
four. The travelling salesman, ON the
average, makes one sale day, but it is
big one when it is made.-Nec York

Harvesting Niagara.

A new corporation at Buffalo is hard
at work converting Niagara Falls into a
giant motor. Its president, ex-Judge
S. H. Hamilton, in speaking of it, said:
1--WE are Harvesting Niagara as / ILs-
mess enterprise. The great cataract
hourly produces or consumes &C, 1000, 600
horse power, and we want some of il.
We are making chambers underneath
the fall and behind the water, where we
have huge standpipes connected with
turbine wheels. These supply motive
power to a regiment of dynamos, which
will send an unlimited amount of the
electric current in any direction. In
five years we will offer to run every
horse-car, elevator, and engine within
100 miles of the Falls. We will begin
with Buffalo, which we will supply with
10000 horse power daily before next
fall That accomplished we will ex-
tend the wires to other cities, and pro
vide them with as much horse power as
they want. We are going to deliver
electricity Just as a milkman does the
morning milk. Storage batteries will
be charged from the dynamos and sent
to every customer who wants force in
that form. These batteries viii not only

THE COLOR OF TROUT.
The Effect of Light and Freedom
Upon the Gamest of Fish.

Every front fisher has observed the
difference in the color of the specklcd
beauties he loves so well, but to the
query why some are brighter than
others the correct reason is rarely given.
Sir Humphrv Davy is credited with
a story that is substantially rs follows:
"A great French manufacturer sought
the secret of making the brilliant car
mine that was manufactured in England.
He went to London and paid II 900 to
an English manufactures for his secret
The Frenchman visited the factory and
carefully observed the. details OF the
manufacture of the carmine. Finding
il to be exactly the same process that lie
himself carried ON in his own factory,
he complained that he had been cheated
out of his money. The Englishman
called his attention to the day, which
was bright and sunny. Inquiry as to
whether such days we're taken advantage
of by the Frenchman for making his
color elected the fact that he had made
his carmine ON dark days"
In that the whole secret lay. So it is
with Saline tontinolis, the brook trout,
and with every other fish that swims.
Inhabitants of limpid streams with
gravelly bottoms are bright and beauti-
full, those in dark, land-locked waters,
shaded from the sun, are devoid of the
brilliant colors which are SO much
admired.
1t has puzzled many amateur anglers,
also, to account for the difference in
the color of the substance or flesh of
the brook trout This cannot be nc
counted for in the same manner The
wild trout is noted for its beautiful pink
flesh, while that of the cultivated fish is
of pale yellowish tint. The food Of
the trout makes all the difference. or. if
not, the annual or semi-annual visit Of
the wild trout to the salt water makes it
up. Preserved trout are fed principally
on liver, and not only are they of less
beautiful exterior, but they are devoid
of the pink flesh and delicate flavor of
the wild trout.
