Mrs Esther e. Nichols, beloved wife
of Plumb B. Nichols, died in the Bridge
port hospital, Saturday, April IS, aged
81 years, after a lingering and painful
! illness of many months. Last Septem-
Der, Mrs Nichols was taken to DR. Fitch,
Fairfield avenue, Bridgeport, for treat
ment and after two months she seemed
much better; all grew hopeful of ulti-
mate recovery. But change for the
worse came soon and, although all that
the power of man could do for her relief
was done, she gradually failed until,
about three weeks before her death, she
was taken to the Bridgeport hospital TO
undergo an operation, the last and only
hope of even a temporary relief from
pain. Tuesday, 18th, specialist from
New York, with 20 or more local physi-
clans, met for consultation, but found the
case hopeless. She lay in partially un-
conscious condition, knowing those about
her only at intervals. Throughout her
sickness, Notwithstanding her constant
suffering, she had been cheerful and
hopeful. Mrs Nichols had been MEM
Der of the Congregational church for a
number of years and led Christian life,
being good wife, loving mother and
kind neighbor, with pleasant word for
every ne. The funeral was attended
from her late residence at TrumbulI,
Monday afternoon, April q, Rev e. A..
Warfield, the present pastor, officiating.
He spoke from the words, ssIf man die,
shall he live again?" He spoke ably and
with much feeling for the bereaved fam
lily. The choir sang, 'tAbide with me'
and Asleep in Jesus A poem which
she had recently cut from a paper was
read by the pastor. It pertained to the
Cup of Life and she said, as she read it,
that the words seemed to apply to her
self. There were many beautiful flow
ers, including a large pillow with the
word ssSister," large punches of Easter
lilies, bunch of callas and others; the
inside of the casket was handsomely
trimmed with carnations. pansies, rose

venience in feeding and the managers
may be unhinged and removed from the
building when cl ansed.
The circular figure in the line of the
stall partitions is the base of a sheet
iron hay tube, which is supported at the
height of the manager and extends to the
upper surface of the loft floor, where it
is supplied with hay. These tubes have
an opening to each stall, so that one tube
supplies two horses, the tube being COW
cred at tho top, and close, except the
feeding openings, and the lattice bottom
to them protects the hay from air and
dust. The object Of the lattice bottom
to the hay tubes is to preserve the hay
seed which seeds. It falls into drawer
for the purpose and the seed thus saved
is of excellent quality and the quantity
thus collected will remunerate for the
cost Of the arrangement. The cupola is
octangular and has four openings with
stationary blinds and four with glazed
sash which light and ventilate the feed
ing passage.

CARRIAGE HOUSE AND STABLE.


The posts are sixteen feet in length;
the ceiling of the stable is nine feet in
the clear. with storage in the loft for
twelve tons Of hay.
The oat bin is cylinder of 100 bush
els capacity, around which circular
stairs are built Its location could not
be more convenient, as SIX horses can be
fed grain with walking but fourteen
feet, on account Of the six stalls being
with the head end around semicircle of
sixteen feet diameter. This circular area
is open to the cupola, and being supplied
with air through the floor, under the
stairs, and the animals all breathing into
common center directly under the
egress, the air is constantly changed
without perceptible current; no doors
nor windows need be opened.
By reference to the illustration of the
ground plan it will be seen that the stall
partitions are radial. The stalls are five
feet wide in front and eleven feet at the
rear end. The stalls V and VI are ar
ranged with strong gates hung to the
wall Of the building in q line with the
stall partitions, which, when closed as
seen in stall VI, form spacious, convenient
box stalls. There is no partition between
the carriage house VII and the stable
portion of the building except that
formed by the stall partitions and the
gates closed, as seen in stall vi. The
originator of this model affirms that the
ventilation is so effectual that the air of
the stable does not affect the carriage
house. Being arranged with three drive
doors, three pairs of horses to carriages
may all be driven into the carriage house
at once and the doors closed behind them
and the horses taken to their respective
stalls. There are two harness closets,

can cook anything, using cobs, coal, ten

the barrel, is watertight.

There is only one way to cure deaf

this tube gets infiamed you have q

tube restored to it's normal condit
