Another beautiful life has ended,
another spotiess soul has received
her coronation. AT IL o'clock P. NJ.
September IL, 1890. Mrs. Mulvina q.
Wolgamot, mother OF Mrs. Josephine
Taylor and grandmother to Miss
Edith Taylor, clos, d her earthly life
in tho seventy fifth year OF her age.
A life filled to the brim with loving
service to the Muster, und at last joy
fully responding to His call. "Daugh-
tor arise; como W higher" Through
years OF sickness no less than through
years Of active service, she served
Him perfectly, having lenrned the
hard lesson that "They rlso serre
Him who only stand and wait" Kept
thus waiting through long years, her
chamber was ut the very gate OF
Heaven, that at length opened to
give her Il most triumphant entrance.
Souic Of tho glory OF Heaven seemed
to stream out and illumine TINT death
bed; it's after CLOVIS remains to cheer
the hearts OF daughter ind grand
daughter, "left sorruwing yet rejoic-
ing" that to them was granted, for
go many years, the inspiration Of such
u life which Mt its close found SO
many loved ones COMO before, Wait
ing to bear her gloritied spirit with
loud hosLnas into the presence OF the
King. When the sad news reaches
tho home Of otnor days and tho
friends and loved ones VI tho past,
their hearts will so out in q great
tender sympathy for tho isolated
daughter and granddaughter, whose
hcurts are SO sore and wounded ut
their great bereavement.
As We lowered around that DEATH
bed we felt that the God Of the Iar-
vest was visiting His vineyard, and
selecting the ripest and choicest Of
His products; and as her greut abiding
frith was being changed to fruition
we realized that her feelings at that
supreme moment graphically
expressed in the last words Of the
suinted Bishop McKendrick whom he
exclaimed:
What's this that steals, that steals
upon my frame,
Is il death, ia 1t death?
That soon will qucnch, will quench
tins vital ilarne,
Is it death, is it death9
IL lhis 10 death, l soon shall bo
F!om every pam aud sorrUw free,
l shall tho King OF glory see,
ALI is we'll, uil il we'll.
Weep not my friends. my friends
weep not for me,
All is well, all is vol.
My sins are purdoned, pardoned, !
Rm free,
AL is we'll, all ia we'll.
There's not u cloud that doth ariee,
| To hide my Jesus from my eyes,
soon shall mount the upper skies,
All is well, all is well.
Hail! haiI! MI hail! all hail 20 saints
in glory,
SaveI by grace, saved by grace.
L come to JON, to join your rapturous
story,
Saved by grace, saved by grace.
All, all is pence, and JOY divine,
And heaven and glory now arc
mine,

.Do not b deceived; What . man
Dowsth, that shsll he also reap"
The rery fact that John Sherman,
the arch enemy OF silver, was fayo:-
able TO tho passagqsof tho presen,
commodity SILVER IN furnishes un.
~mis.axable evidence 60 any thinking
mind that tho law requiring the
government to purchase 4,5oo.OoO
ounces OF silver each month, while
a6ording temporary relief e. the
bullion producer, is not what the PEG,
PIE want, but u measure in the inter
est OF corporations, monopolies, bond
holders and Sold-buHs. That little
joker in the second section OF tho Law
which provides that the Treasury
notes Issued in payment OF the bullion
purchased shall be a lega! tender in
payment OF al debts, e1cept ,rherc
othertoise expressly stipulated in the
contract, shows ~corclusivsly the per.
nicious tendency OF tho law TO de-
stroy silver, or its representative, as n
legal tender money. and establish
gold as the only standard OF values:
indeed, the very fact that silver 10 to
bo purchased at the market price
thereof, is q plain recognition OF gold
rs tho only standard Of values. for
tho market price means the market
price in gold, which NJ ono will dis.
puts. The law provides that tho
Secretary OF tho Treasury shall, on
demand, redeem tho Treasury notes
Issued in payment Of silver bullion in
gold or silver coin, at his discretion;
nad it is easy to SEQ what this means.
Section 3 OF tho law in question pro-
vides that tho Secretary Of tho Treas
ury shall each month coin 100000
ounces OF the silver bullion purchased
into standard silver dollars until the
first day OF July, 1891, and after that
date he shall coin OF the silver bullion
purchased as much as may DO neces-
sary to provide for the redemption OF
tho Treasury notes provided for, and
with tho discretion given that officer,
as above quoted, it is fair to presume
that tho M,nts will have little to do
in coming silver dollars aftor July /,
1891.
Now rs to the prime motive OF
enacting u law which has had tho
effect to raise tho price of silver:
The Republican party found itself in
imminent danger OF losing control OF
the next House of Roprcsoatati y 8,
md something must DO done 10 quiet
the clumor Of the silver men, other.
wise the loss OF the control OF both
Houses OF tho National Legislature
was q foregone conclusion; an l hence
tho abortion which was brought
forth with the hope that it would in n
measure satisfy tho silver men until
after tho elections OF 1890, and insure
n Republican House Of representa-.
tives.
The Republican party is fertile in
oxpedionts to hoodwink tho people,
aud to a largo extent their machina-
tons have been successful; but we
cannot believe that I'm intelligent
people will still suffer Themselves to
be defrnuded VI their rights by spe-
cious measures, such rs the infamous
Act of July II. 1890, which was
enacted in the interest OF the few and
for tho purposes above mentioned.

Tea Making In japan.

Tea making in Japan is fine art. The
teapot is small and dainty like those sold
for bric-a-brac at Japanese shops, and
the teacups, .often of fine Cloisonnes,
with plain enameled Innings, are each no
larger than giants thimble. With them
is q pear-shaped pitcher for boiling
water, and lacquer box containing
choice tea. Among the rich these ap-
purtenances accompany brand of tea so
rare that none of it is ever exported.
The japanese host scoops out enough
of the precious herb with an ivory i'm
plement shaped like large tealeaf) to
loosely fill the little teapot. He then
pours over it hot, not boiling, water, ,and
in less than o moment the teamaker be-
gins to pour of a stream Of pale yellow
tea into cups which are never filed more
than halfway up, and they are at once
served to visitors and the family. 1t Is
needless to say that the tea, losing no
part of its delicate aroma, is as fragrant
and delicate as any concoction can
possibly be. How different from the
coarse, clumsy teamaking Of the Ameri-
can, OF rather of Bridget's method! OF
course, the tea is slowly slipped, yet even
then it is strong enough to keep the guest
awake half the night, unless he is
accustomed to japanese teamaking.-

HUNTING DUCKS.
METHODS PRACTISED HERE
AND ABROAD.
Use ofthe Decoy and the "Sink-Box
Stills as They Are Used
in Some Districts Of
France.

In duck shooting, says W. F. Pond
in the Chicago Herald, the call attracts
first, then the decoys take up the thread,
and upon the way they are arranged de-
pends the sport of the day. The decoy
should always face the wind. This is
imperative, as the live ducks always take
this position. AS rule the decoys arc
ballasted with lead and anchored with
strings.
1t is hard work to get these to lay
right at dead water, but with running
tide it is an easy matter, if they are well
anchored. Late last year I saw a set cf
imported decoys which took my fancy,
and which any one might make, They
were called profile decoys. Each bird
was made of two pieces of thin wood.
One piece represented duck in profile
or outline the wood being only half an
inch thick and was fitted over another flat
piece of wood, showing the surface of a
ducks back, viewed from above. Thus,
whether the birds were flying over or
sidewise, the two views gave the shape
of duck. With these decoys was
large triangular frame, on which they
could be placed In any position desired,

DUCKS IN FRANCE.


extend on every side for many miles, not
continuously, but in succession of dry
and wet tracts, the wet predominating.
Paths about foot wide run here and
there through the morasses to the higher
grounds where the sheep feed, but they
are winding and tortuous. Consequently
the inhabitants of the district are COM
munity of silt walkers.
The men who drive the sheep to feed
follow the winding path with the flock,
but they return on stills by short cut.
The postmen use stills, and so do the
hunters. These marshes are the home
of the wild duck and widgeon,
but they lie far away from the paths
in the most secluded places,
inaccessible to one walking in the ordin-
ary way. SO the hunter dons his stills.
These are about eight feet long, the foot
holds being about six feet from the
ground. They are fastened to the ankle
and just below the knee with leather
straps. At the bottom, to k cp them
from sinking too far into the mud, is a
round disk of wood, which makes the
silt look as if it had been pushed two
inches or so through a small wooden
plate. On these the sportsman can stride
from place to place and also get an unin-
terrupted view of the ducks as they rise.
He is accompanied by along-legged dog,
something like Norfolk spaniel, who
swims and founders along to retrieve the
