Obituary.

ODftuary.
DIED: At 8 o'clock q. m. on Monday,
October q, 1890, at the home of her
brother-in-law, l.. l.. Northrup, at
lola, Mrs. G. G.. Northrup, i'm the 73rd
year of her age.
Mrs. Clarinda Gates Northrup was
born January Is, 1918, at Richmond,
Massachusetts. Her early education
was received at Mt. Holyoke Seminary
from which institution she went to
Oberlin College, Oberlin, Ohio, where
she graduated, and In which she after
wards held position as teacher. She
was married April IL, 1850, to Rev. G..
s. Northrup, brother of L. L. North
rup, of this city, and came with him
in 1853, to Geneva, Kansas, where he
was called as minister to the Congre-
gational church. Her husband died
at Geneva February 2, 1867, and since
that time she has made her home prin-
cipally at lola with the family of her
brOther-in-law and her only surviving
child, w. p. Northrup, now of Idaho.
The deceased has been subject to
heart trouble and her death, as Is COM
mon in such cases, came suddenly.
She had been feeling slightly unwell
on Sunday, but when night came she
insisted on the family retiring saying
that she felt as if she would have no
trouble during the night. In the
morning when some member of the
family went to her room it was found
that the spirit had taken its fight.
AS shown by the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
ical notes, Mrs. Northrup was we'll
educated and cultivated woman. TO
the grsces of mental culture was add
ed in her the beauty of Christian char
acter. Gentle, refined, quick In her
sympathies, strong In her convictions,
she was woman whose life was an
example and an inspiration to all who
knew her. In the fullness of years she
passed to her reward.
The funeral services were held at
the residence of L. l.. Northrup on
Tuesday afternoon, and were very
largely attended. I'm the absence of
Rev. Hyatt, Rev. Wright officiated.

Heroes of the Wire.

Supt William B. Somerville, O
the Western Union Telegraph Company,
of Philadelphia, chatted pleasantly the
other day to a Press reporter of some
of the plucky deeds performed by tele-
graph operators whom he had known.
II presume that heroes and heroines
are found in every walk of Life" said
Mr.. Somerville, "but certain it is that
some Of our operators, male and female,
have performed some very plucky
deeds. | have read of many brave acts,
but | know none that has impressed me
more than the calm heroism of Mrs.
Ogle, who was the chief operator at
Johnstown at the time of the Cone
maugh disaster. This woman, with her
daughter, sat at her instrument sending
news of the terrible disaster even when
the building in which she was at work
was rocking from the impetus of the
water that was rushing against it. There
was an abundant opportunity for her to
have escaped, but she refused to do it..
She stald at her post, and the news of
the coming flood was wired down the
Conemaugh valley in time to enable
hundreds of families to escape the ap-
preaching danger She lost herlife, but
her name should never be forgotten,
for few, if any, Drawer acts have been
performed.
"Of acts of bravery that have been
performed, the records of the military
telegraph corps are full. There was
scarcely a general in the war who did
not mention some such action in official
reports. There were instances Of brav-
cry in which our operators figured dur
ing the yellow fever epidemics at the
South that were simply wonderful. And
there have been others. / can certain

mometer goes creeping up, up, and the
cool little waves come coaXing up over
the sands, the temptation to be out in
the surf draws nigh to overcoming one;
but no woman ought to battle oftener
than once day, with one day of rest in
the seven; neither should she remain
long in the water, no matter how sure
she may be of her powers of reaction
after the first suspicion Of WEAKNESS or
chill. Few women are safe In staying III
the water longer than fifteen minutes,
and for the majority a ten-minute bath
would be still better.
Worse than all in connection with
bathing is the habit of lying about on
the sand in wet garments between dips,
and so stretching out the bathing period
through hours of the day. ''The bath
should consist" says an authority, "of
but one entrance into the water, or of a
few plunges following each other in rap
id succession. A bather should never
lie out on the sands after a bath, but
should remove his wet garments at
once, and be briskly rubbed with a
coarse towel"
Lastly, one may say of the woman at
the watering places that she is too prone
to allow the activity of her mind to cen
ter solely about the affairs of other peo-
ple Her mind must have something to
turn upon, and because she denies it
the real food that would come to her
through few choice books carefully and
thoughtfully read, it goes on to gather
to itself all the petty gossip, all the idle
tales, all the half surmlses, that make
the average summer watering place the
nursery of the neanest sins that spot
the hearts of women who really mean
to give all the world its kindest dues.

PoIiteness In Sweden.

The Swedes, says writer in Temple
Bar, are a nation of gentlemen. Their
unfaillng politeness is a constant source
of wonder to visitors They have a
large assortment of bows and courtesies,
according to the age and sex of those
who are thus recognized, but the lifting
of the hat is SO universal that it seems
to be going on all the time. The
butchers boy in meeting the bakers as
sistant, instead of giving him a careless
"Hello ~ or a friendly buffet, as an
American lad might do, takes off his hat
to him with elaborate courtesy.
A traveller, going by steamboat to
Upsala, noticed an amusing instance of
this national ceremony. AS the boat
nears Upsala it passes through shallow
water, and the passengers, instead of
landing at dock, were taken on shore
in small boats. Each time, after the
ferryman had received a load of people,
he would take dozen or more strokes
in order to clear the screw of the steam
er and then carefully lay aside his oars,
and take off his hat, with solemn bow
to his passengers.
The students of Upsala university pre-
serve this ceremonious politeness
even when they are on lark" to-
gether, quite removed from the watch
full eyes of parents or teachers. They
may often be seen in the cafe gardens
during vacation, drinking their punch
with all the airs of middle-aged gentle
men. Although most of them are lads
under 20, they bow and pledge each
other with solemn salutation, according
to the strictest etiquette.
That the national politeness is not
merely on the surface is proved by the
trouble to which the Swedes will put
themselves in order to be of use to a
stranger. One traveller declares that he
really had to give up asking his way
about Stockholm, because it made him
so uncomfortable to have a workman lay
aside his occupation and accompany him
some distance upon his path.
The punctilious truthfulness and hon
esty of the Swedes are made evident in
all the relations of life. When parcels
are taken by steamer from Stockholm to
country places, they are often thrown
out there, and left unguarded on the
quay, until some one comes to claim
them. 1t never seems to occur to any
one that they could be taken except by
their rightful owners. On trip of any
length, little book lies in the saloon OF
the steamer, and in this each passenger
keeps for himself record of the meals
he has taken, together with an account
of necessaries of any sort ordered on
board. This may seem to the mex
perienced In such ways an extraordinary
instance of putting the tourist upon his
honor, but in Sweden it evidently
answers every purpose.

Shell Mounds Of Florida.

Col. Joseph Wilcox, one of the man
ayers of the Archaeological Museum o
the University of Pennsylvania, recently
gave short account of his explorations
in the Florida shell heaps. He said he
had never travelled in any part of the
United States that presented SO many
remains of the former rece as Florida.
The mounds were of two classes.
Along the coast and the banks of the
rivers they were composed of shells,
while those away from the
rivers and the sea are made
of sand These mounds are
of prodigious size, some OF
the largest being 20 to 80 acres in ex-
tent, and 20 to 40 feet in height. The
shell mounds are composed almost eX-
clusively of oyster shells, large conch,
which was evidently eaten, being the
next most plentiful. Many of the latter
have hole broken in the top, through
which it is probable the animal was
drawn The shells in one of the mounds
he examined varied from those of the
present day, partaking of the character
of those of the Pliocene fossils, and in
dictate that the mound was made very
long time ago. He exhibited a col
Guiding two gold beads, and a
superb fragment of pottery that
was thought to be of Georgia manufac-
ture. In commenting upon this piece,
which he presented to the museum, he
said that the Greek fret, the scroll work,
and many forms of classical decoration,
are to be discovered on the American
pottery, and if we want to study the be-
ginning of classic art we should study
the aboriginal art of America, an art that
was nipped in the bud by the terrible
Spanish invasion.
The museum, although only organized
friends that its collection is now second
to none in the country.

A KnOtty Problem.
From the Washington Star.

A correspondent Of the House press
gallery is going crazy over this problem:
"Did you 60 to the circus?" someone
inquired of him on Thursday morning.
"No," he replied; "there was too much
of crowd, and hate crowds If only
one-third Of the people went that go
now, I'd go myself" eyes," said the
other man, "but did it never occur to
you that the majority Of the people are
like you, and if only one-third as many
went as go now, ten times as many
would 60 as 60 now? See?" He didn't
exactly see, but he caught faint glim-
mer, and trying to see is what is now
unsettling his mental balance.

A Check ON Gossip.
From the Boston Gazette.

At luncheon given not long since
the conversation turned on some new
neighbors who had not made a very
favorable impression on those who had
met them. One guest told her ex-
perience and another hers, outdoing the
others in disparaging the new corners.
exelaiming, "Why, friends, they are my
cousins" The check was effectual, and
not until everyone who had been saying
the unlxind things had become thor
oughly ashamed did it dawn upon them
that it was but ruse on the hostess
part to turn the conversation.
