Obituary.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. 9, 1891

Emily Sones, widow of the Hon John
Noyes, died at her residence on North
street last Thursday, at the advanced age
Of So years. She has been an invalid for
several years, and but passed away and
gathertd in the great granary of the other
shore as fruit fully ripe and ready for the
harvest. She was daughter of John and
Judith Richardson Somes and was born at
Somesville, Mt. Desert Island, Maine, July
IL, 1906. She was the last of her family
Her grandfather, Abraham Somes, native
of Gloucester, was the first permanent set
tier Of Mt. Desert and gave his name to
the sound and village where the settlement
was made. Its wonderful growth and
popularity have been entirely in her remem-
brance.
Her husband has occupied prominent
positions in his town, county and state, a
Representative, Senator and member of
the Executive Council. They moved to
Georgetown some thirty years ago. We
remember hearing Mr.. Noyes say that
when young man he took his chest of
carpenters tools in a boat. rowed some
thirty miles to Mt. Desert and commenced
business as carpenter, house and ship
builder, and soon after became acquainted
with the lady whose obituary we now
record.
Mrs. Noyes was the mother of eight
children, two of whom died in childhood,
one, the eldest son, died in Georgetown.
Her surviving children are Augusta, the
wife of our town treasurer, Milton G.
Tenney, Lucy, the widow of Mr.. Brinker-
hoff Of Santa Barbara, CAL, Hattie and
Chauncey 0. of Georgetown, and ex-
Sheriff Henry P. of Andover.
The i'll health of the deceased since her
residence in Georgetown has kept her out
of society but those who had the pleasure
Of her acquaintance were deeply impressed
with her graces of character, her old-time
hospitality and courtesy to all that called
upon her, and her beauty of thought and
expression. Her sons and daughters, every
one occupying prominent positions in soci-
ETY., bear testimony of good training and
noble parentage.
Her funeral will occur this afternoon at
2 o'clock from her late residence and the
remains will be laid beside those of ber
husband and son in Harmony cemetery

November.

The flow ers have with the swallows fed,
And silent is the cricket;
The red leaf rustles overhead,
The brown leaves fill the tbicket.
The mild October days are gone,
Sweet nutting-time, and kite-tme:
With frost and storm comes slowly on
The years long wintry nighttime.
But while the mellow light departs,
The household draws together,
And ever warmer grow our hearts
AS colder grows the weather.

For the Ellsworth Amer1can.I
November Skies.

November which came to view
With sneh n smiling face.
Has hidden her skies OF blue,
And dark clouds in their place
Are sailing about on high
And shutting the sun from sight;
All. tickle. fickle sky.
False as my friend tonight
And shall we call him friend
Who ever so cruel prove:
Tomorrow with frowning face.
Which last was smiling with love.
Because we so lightly turn
From the way he would have us go,
Why need he our love to spurn.
Why so much barshness show:
Why not forgive and forget
And tho the clouds arise
Make most Of the sunny hours,
For the time to linger flies.
The days are al too short
To spend in weary strife,
But VT must expect some clouds
To shadow our heightened life.
Yes. call him friend while we may.
One moment of sunshine dear
l. enough to gild life
Through many Il lonesome year.
Wen sye forget his faults,
And aye remember his love;
Pass lightly by the clouds.
There's bit OF blue above.

With proper care and attention a
good piano should last a family a life
time, says Charles II. Steinway, the
piano manufacturer, in the January
Ladies' Home Journal If this is
not given it. the piano will in time
become harsh and 'tin-panny,' and
afford little satisfaction or delight to
its owner. Ordinary practice, whether
by child or grown-up person, will
not lnjure piano in any way. 1t is
not necessary to be a professional
piano player. and to know exactly with
what force to strike the keys in order
to keep the instrument in good con-
dition. OF course, it will not be
improved by humping the case, or by
striking the keys with any hard sub
stance. Neither does this remark ap-
ply to schools and institutions where
playing is taught and the instrument is
used continuously for ten or twelve
hours every day. In the latter case
the felt portions will wear out sooner
than if it was used in a private family.
The matter of tuning should not
be neglected, and should never be in
trusted to any other than an experienc-
ed person. Incapable tuners very Of
ten work irreparable injury to the most
perfect and costly instruments. Dur
ing the first year new piano should
be tuned every three or four months
at least. After that it will only be
necessary to have it tuned at longer
intervals.
Dampness is the most dangerous
enemy the piano has to contend
against, and for this reason the climate
must be considered. If the instru-
ment is placed in a damp room, or
left open in a draught of air, the result
will be that the strings, tuning pins.
and the various metal parts will be-
come coated with rust, and the cloth
used in the construction of the keys
and action, becomes swollen. 1t is
positively painful to play on such a
piano.

NEWS FOR FISHERMEN.
A Clever Contrivance to Beguile tho In
noccnt Minnow Into Acting as Bait.

A Clever COntrivance to Beguile tho In
nocent Mlnnow Into Acting as Bait.
Many a time what promised to be a
fine days fishing has been spoiled by a
long and tedious hunt for the proper
kind Of bait with which to angle. A
pair of boot heels sticking up through
the grass by the side of brook and one
long rumbling growl of profanity issu-
ing seemingly from under the earth is
familiar indication to large number of
people who have "been there them
selves that some ardent and irritable
fisherman is lying there on his face, try
ing to keep out of sight of the timid
minnows he wants to scoop up out of the
stream at one dash, csd then be off.
But the little minnows are in no hurry.
They dart away at the sight of his un-
familiar scoop net and lie under the
farther bank wriggling their little tails
tantalizingly. Now the fisherman
wishes he had taken time by the fore
locls and secured his bait on the day be.
fore he was to start on his expedition.
He reviles his procrastination as the
minutes slip by and the hot sun beats
ON his back, and he resolves never to do
it again. But this does not molify the
minnows in the least, and the scene
generally ends by the angler going off
furious, with only few miserable little
fellows in his can.
An ingenious inventor has come to the
relief of fishermen lately by producing
a minnow trap that is hard to beat
First of all it is wholly composed of
transparent, colorless glass, and is in
shape much like big cartridge with
pointed bullet in it. 1t is about two
and one-half feet long. and as big
around as mans leg above the knee
1t is hollow, Of course, and what would
be the fiat end of cartridge is punched
in like the bottom of glass bottle, and
there is small round hole in the apex
of the cone thus made. The other and
the pointed end of the trap is fitted with
little sliding door. This big glass
cartridge is intended to be set on its
side in the bottom of brook where
mnnows abound The cautious ones
soon become accustomed to it, and the
reckless fellows don't see it till they
bump their noses against it Some nice
bait is put inside the trap, and the min
nows soon find their way into it through
the punched in end. The little door at
the other end is shut, of course.
The minnows are unable to find their
way out, because they follow the sides
of the trap, and this leads into the
cul de sac at the fat end, all around the
bottom of the cone They are easily
poured ont, however, with the water in
the trap by holding the thing up, pointed
end down, and opening the little slide
door. Wire is twisted around the out
side of the trap, and forms handle by
which it is conveniently carried, and the
wire also protects the glass from injury.

An original genius asks whether it has
ever been proposed to have smoke duct
running through town connected with
the different furnaces. He suggests that
such duct might be carried outside of
the city to a condensing station. an ex-
haust machine being employed to force
the draught. At the condensing station
the SCOT laden air might be made to pass
through water, and thus deposit the
solid matter, the air passing away com.
paratively pure, while the SCOT thus
deposited might easily be collected,
caked, and sold as fuel The size of the
duct would have to vary. rs in water

"The common American red deer is the
variety found in West Virginia The
same kind is also seen in the swamps of
Mississippi and Florida. Now, l have
noticed wide difference in the weight

one in his own section weighing 200
pounds. I could hardly realize it. l

the custom farther south, but in my
State we dress the deer, so as to get rid
of all superfluous weight before testing
him on the scale We do so in order TO
attain the greatest convenience in carry
ing the game about.
IL can see. continued the Senator
reflectively, that the number OF deer
has been remarkably reduced in the last
10 years even noticed the difference
on my recent hunt. 1t is safe to say
that there are not half SO many to be
found now as 10 years ago. Civilization
and constant hunting are driving them
out of existence The means of APP
proach to the deer country are now very
improved, and as n consequence the
game is being killed off. More or less
timbering has been done also, and in
this way many deer hauuts have been
broken up. In the white pine region
especially the woods have been thinned
so much that deer can no longer find q
home in them. They have been forced
into the wild ranges, which have so far
resisted encroachment.
"The best places to look for deer now
are thinly populated regions, such as
Webster, Nicholas, and Greenbrier coun-
ties in our State In Pendleton. Hamp-
shire, Hardie, Randolph, and Pocahon-
tas good hunting can still be had. The
mountains abound also in pheasants and
squirrels The streams were once full
of trout, but there are not so many
now,"

Does Experience Count.

1t does, in every line of business,
and especially in compounding and
preparing medicines. This is illustrat-
ed in the great superiority of Hoods
Sarsaparilla over other preparations, as
shown by the remarkable cures it has
accomplished.
The head of the firm of C. I: Hood &
Co. is thoroughly competent and ex-
perienced pharmacist, having devoted
his whole life to the study and actual
preparation of medicines. He is also
a member of the Massachusetts and
American Pharmaceutical Associations
and continues actively devoted to
supervising the preparation of and
managing the business connected with,
Hoods Sarsaparilla.
Hence the superiority and peculiar
merit of Hoods Sarsaparilla is built
upon the most substantial foundation
In its preparation there is represented
all the knowledge which modern re-
search in medical science has develop
ed, combined with long experience,
brainwork and experiment. 1t is only
necessary to give this medicine a fair
trial to realize its great curative value.
1t would be fitting cap stone to the
monument of his life if, by some strange
turn of the whirligig Of time, Prince
Bismarck shorld again be landed in
the premiership of Germany; yet it is
by no means beyond the range of pos
sibilities that this very thing should
come to pass. The people of Ger
many are becoming restive, and there
is an undercurrent that is daily grow
ing which sets strongly in favor of
once more placing the helm of the
ship of state in the hands of the Iron
Chancellor. That crisis is imminent
Is foreseen by all, and the aged states
man may yet triumph over his enemies
by once more being called to the head
of the government.
