A striking illustration of the pre-
valence Of divorces and The queer
matrimonial conditions that arise
therefrom, was given at the funeral
of the late William Sprague, the
young son Of ex Gov. Sprague, who
committed suicide on the Pacific
Coast. The body was taken to
Rhode Island for interment. The
mother of the deceased, Mrs Kate
Chase Sprague, daughter OF the late
Chief Justice Chase, with her two
daughters, was in attendance hav.
ing come on fiom Washington. The
father was there with his second
wife by his side. The dead mans
wife and little daughter were there,
also, but the wife had been divorced
and remarked, and her second bus
band accompanied her to the funeral
Of his dead rival. All these estrang.
ed persons were drawn together by
a suicides crime, and TO add to the
misery Of the scene, the father re-
veDgefully refused to allow the cas-
ket to be opened that his divorced
wife might once more look on the
face Of her dead son.

That Little Tickling

In your throat, which makes you
cough once in while and keeps you
constantly clearing your throat, arises
from catarrh, and as catarrh is consti-
tutional disease the ordinary cough
medicines all fail to hit the spot. What
you need is constitutional remedy like
Hood 8 Sarsaparilla. Many people who
have taken this medicine for scrofula,
dyspepsia, loss of appetite, and other
troubles, have been surprised that it
should cure this troublesome cough.
But to know the actual cause of the
cough is to solve the mystery. Many
cases of consumption can be traced back
to the neglect of some such slight affec.
ton as this. Consumption can be con-
trolIed in its early stages, and the effect
of Hoods Sarsaparilla in purifying the
blood, building up the general health,
and expelling the scrofulous faint which
is the cause Of catarrh and consumption
has restored to perfect health many per-
sons on whom this dreaded disease seem
ed to have firm hold.

1t was SO sudden, o what dread.
Death has been in our midst and
taken from us our much esteemed and
beloved friend, Carrie Turner. We
therefore extend to the bereaved
parents our earnest sympathy in
their sad bereavement. feeling that
their loss is partly ours as she brought
joy, cheerfulness and sunshine to
their home, so did she to our school.
The departed was twelve years old.
She was kind studious scholar and
womanly beyond her years.
Beautiful toiler. thy work all done,
Beautiful soul in glory gone,
Beautiful life with its crown now won;
Beautiful spirit free from all stain;
Ours the heartache, the sorrow and pain,
Thine is the glory and infinite gain.
Thy slumber is sweet.
Leaves have their time to fall,
And flowers to wither at the north
winds breath,
Bat thou hast all seasons fer thine own,
o death !
We know when moons shall wane,
When summer birds from far, shall
cross the sea,
When Autumn's hue shall tinge the
golden grain.
But who shall teach us when to look fol-
thee
We would be glad If we could give
word of comfort to the bereaved
friends, but it is hard TO comfort in
these Affections. But God tells us,
That He watches the sparrows that fall,
Hears the sad cry of the grieved hearts
that call,
