But thy memory will be cherished,
Till we see thy heavenly face.

that the wind will be most of the time
northwest, II follows that everything that
falls rain or shine will stick. On the con-
trary, II the wind should be southwest or
southeast, it is plain that we cannot have
permanent sleighing, because snow cannot
stand before these sOutlierly winds rs was
the case last winter.
The whole secret lies In ascertaining the
prevailing point of the wind on the first
Thursday in each season, as that will To-
cate the wind for that season. Strange as
this may appear it is true"

We are glad to see Mr.. Runnells'
kindly face again, and to learn that he
was suffering from nothing more than
a severe cold.
Building operations are quite brisk
here this fall and heavy demand has
been made upon the supply of labor.
W. S. Hale is building an addition of
fifty feet or more to his piggery, q
portion of which will contain pig pens,
while the other and larger part is to
be fitted up as a Strengthening house.
He also is putting up a building in the
rear of apd adjoining his creamery, in
the basement of which will be placed a
new boiler. f. j. Doe is building an
extension to his house, which, with it's
miniature tower, by no means detracts
from the appearance of the whole.
Besides these actual operations there
are rumors of several other changes
improvements, to which we hear spring
will give birth.

Sunday school service was held for

last. 1t seems too bad that these in
formal services can not be continued
through the winter, for not only do
they constitute our sole opportunity of
attending divine worship here, but
since there is no public library they
open up our only source of mental
food, loss which must necessarily be
detrimental to our common interests.

HARDWOOD FLOORS.
More Uealthful Than Carpets, and Do
Not Need Special Fumigatin

The most healthful flooring is the
hardwood. or its humber relations,
the painted or stained floors. They
do not get full of dust and moths. and
are readily cleaned. They remove
the heaviest load from the semi. an nual
house-cleaning. while after contagious
illness they do not need special fumi-
eating. They are. on the other hand.
expensive from their own cost. and
from the rugs they require to remove
the baroness and to reduce the house,
hold clatter. A house with wood
floors throughout is a noisy place
where the family is os any size. Hard
floors are particularly Y fitted for dining
room. sleeping-rooms, the library and
music-room; but balls. stairs and Sit
tinS-room are more comfortable car
peted. In the drawing-room rich
effect is more cheaply attained with
carpet than with rugs. and the room
being less used. its care is less burden
some.
Hardwood floors are of maple oak.
