Peaches are retailing at l6 to 20 cts

the steamer at night and when he is chained
on deck close to the gangway,

Paipt'--- Thought TO Be Poor Things
Turn Out Works OF Old Masters.
Artists and others interested in paintings
will be SURPRISED in learning of remark
able discovery of works of the old masters
which has just occurred in the Isle Of Man
There was a sale a short time ago at one Of
the larger mansions in the island, and sew
eTal oil paintings which were included in
the catalogue were not believed to be OF any
value, nor did the auctOneer lay any stress
on their merit. A dealer in Douglass,
either possessed of moro knowledge
than the rest of the would-be pur-
chasers, or OF a more speculative turn
Of mind, had five Of them Knocked down to
him at very small price He took them
home and after examining them himself
became convinced that he had made lucky
Investment. He accordingly called in an
expert. and now to his joy he has been told
that one Of them is undoubtedly by Won
Vermans, while the others are examples Of
some OF the great painters of the Dutch
school They are thus proved to be very
valuable and the shTewd dealer will reap O
Tieh percentage on his investment
. Among the collection is full length pOr-
trait of George Washington, copy of the
picture by Stuart, which hangs in the cap
itol at Washington. 1t was bought early in
the century by an American gentleman, who
lived in the Isle of Man. and 1t attracted

The home is to society what the heart is to the
body-the vital motive power.
When the father is vigorous. the mother cheerful,

To make the home happy. keep the health secure.
Poverty may come, but it can be endured If the
health remains
No health was ever maintained without assist
ance. Health, like the body, must be supported.
But do not make mistake and do 1t foolishly.
The best to sustain the health is to assist IL,
TO stimulate it. The best way to healthily stimu-

east corner of Stevenson and Third streets.
has been in successful operation for about
six months, and is under the special indOTse-
ment of number Of well-known gentlemen
of this city who contribute monthly and
periodically to its support.

semi-annual report: Money collected from
November 5, 1890, 1886 30; dsbursed,
S975 10; number of services held, $40; aver
age attendance. 100; total, $4,000; number
found at penitent form, 150 whole number

tiOnal in character. The mission has two
special features, temporary relief in lodgings
and meals, and employment found for worthy
persons. But the main object is moral and
spiritual reform. The meetings at this
time are very attractive and interesting;
good music. both instrumental and vocal,
short and spirited addresses, with Christian
