WEST TOWNSHEND.

Augustus A. Barber, aged g.,
passed from earth to heaven on the
morning Of the Goth of July. He
had been well, up to within about five
weeks from which time he had failed
gradually. He will be sadly missed
by all who knew him. He had a ge.
NAL disposition and kind word for
all and a helping hand in time of sick
ness and sorrow. He was kind
father in his family, devoted Chris
tian, an earnest worker in the church
and society. A bright and shining
light that others might endeavor to
follow. His loss will be keenly felt
in the community. The obsequies
were held at the church the following
Sunday, Rev. Mr.. Whitney of ia
maica officiating. Remains were in
tered in Townshend cemetary. He
leaves widow, two sons and a daugh-
ter which have the sincere sympathy
of all in their bereavement, and may
they be comforted with the assurance
that what is their loss is his gain.
Blessed are the dead that die in the
Lord"

Ennds for the Nervous.

Many brain workers and others of
highly nervous temperaments are trou-
bled with insomnia, nervous twitchings
and starting from sleep and sensations of
falling. These symptoms indicate weak
nerves. The victim can very often indeed
cure himself by dietetic means alone.
The best diet is milk, and for a time it
would be wise for him to limit himself
to that. The quantity required by an
adult to support him well is one pint at
a meal, and four meals should be taken
daily. The milk used should be UP to
the standard; if it is not, cream should
be added to it. People with weak nerves,
as rule. drink but very little water,
whereas they usually require a larger
quantity than those whose nerves are
strong and not easily shaken Boston

TnE BASKET PARTY.

For some reason unknown to us we
failed to receive from our regular cor
respondent, although especially re-
quested, an account of the Basket
Party at Londonderry last Monday
evening. We learn from parties
present from this place that the oo-
casion was very pleasant one, and
that the attendance was large. Par
ker's Orchestra furnished the music.
The singing by Mrs. Converse of
Maiden, Mass, the johnson brothers,
Miss Stetson and Miss Mary Pierce
was very fine indeed, and the readings
by Mrs. Mathews of Boston rarely
excelled in country place, and Miss
Lyon fairly outdid herself. The re-
ceipts were very satisfactory and will
be handsome addition to the library
fund.

Fattening Snails.

The vineyard snail is held in great es-
TEEN in southern Europe. 1t is by no
means uncommon in England. At one
time it was believed to have been i'm
ported by the Romans; while another
theory held that it was introduced about
the Fifteenth or Sixteenth century. 1t
is undeniably common in the vicinity of
old Roman camps, But it is frequent
also on chalk and other dry soils. and
the opinion now generally entertained is
that the Helix pomatia is native Brit
ish species. The rulers of the world
were nevertheless its especial patrons.
Not content with eating it stewed in
every form, they fattened it in cochlearia,
or styes, meal boiled in wine being re-
garded as the food best fitted for pro-
ducing large and juicy specimens. How
successful they were may be inferred
from the fact-if fact it be-that some
of the shells of these 'domesticated snails
would hold a pint of wine.-Once a

PERKlNSVlLLE.

The repairs of the Call mills are
progressing rapidly, but owing to the
extent of the work necessary il will
be a long time before operations can
be begun. All the floors will be level
ed, all the machinery over hauled and
levcled, new stills put under the build
ings, new ilume built and new gears
put ON the driving shaft. All this
takes time, but when done the mills
will be in good condition for doing

Big Profits.

The article in The Forum on enormous
profits of insurance companies should be
broadened to cover trusts of all sorts
Mr. Hamilton shows that insurance COM
panies divide at the rate of 40 per cent.
in some instances; in others, 90 and 20.
This is siiaply indicative of extortion.
But our trusts are doing the same thing
--reaping from 10 to 80 per cent. on
capital invested. From the foundation
of our states it has been a general under
standing that no investment should re-
ceive over from to 8 per cent. interest.
The capitalist at that rate is gathering a
fair remuneration for the loan of his ac-
cumulations Social equilibrium is inn
possible when capital manages to extort,
or by subterfuges to obtain, 20 to 40 per
cent.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

was appalling. He saw only sin and mis-

Soon, in the very midst Of this hell he
heard a note of faith-a child was sing

opened, and Christ spoke. W. F..
