to record the death of Mrs. Jacob Smith
a neighbor and loYed one who from us
has gone and whose form is hidden
away in earth's cold embrace and whose
spirit has gone where death and sorrow
never come
For many months it seemed as though
she stood on tho stepstone, waiting, only
waiting, till death cruel chariot should
come and bear her away from the loved
ones who had loved her SO long and
well, and finally on Oct 9th, SO death
came, life's silver chain, now so worn,
snapped asunder and her spirit took its
flight to the God who gave it.
Mrs. Smith was the wife of Jacob
Smith. She was born in Warren, Trum-
bull Co, Ohio, Feb. 22nd, 1S41 and was
at the time of her death 50 years, 8
months, weeks and days old. She

age of p years. Thirteen children were
born to them, II of whom survive her,
to mourn the loss a darling mother.
There were nine sons. Andrew, Will
liam, Harry, Frank, Edward, Rollie,
BERTHE, Arthur and Clyde. the last

other side. There are four daug lters,
namely, Mrs. Carrie Hall and Mrs.
Annie Scott, while Jessie and Bertha
are still at home.
Mrs. Smiths early life was spent in
Ohio. In 1870, she with her husband
moved to the vicinity of Lancaster,
where they have resided ever since.
We are told that nine years ago she
gave her heart to God and her hand to
the U. B. church.

Good Inventions.

One of the most valuable inventions
was made by New England woman
who lived for many years in Washing
ton. In 1S43 Mrs. Nancy M. John
son sold her patent of an ice cream
freezer for 81 800. She was the first
to utilize the idea of turning handle
for churning the cream, and the later
improvements are notifications of her
patent. Before this spoon was used.
Mrs. Johnson lived on Twelfth street,
and at her death she bequeathed the
valuable scientific library of her hus-
band, who had been professor of
chemistry at the Smithsonian institu-
ton, to that building.
Another Washington woman pat
entee is Mrs. William H. Dodge, of
Capital hill, tKe wife of the well
known patent lawyer, who invented
an improved ice pitcher, which has
met with great success. This pitcher
is provided with a concave extension
rim around the bottom to hold the
moisture which gathers on the outside
and to prevent it from trickling down
en- the table. - Washington Post.

An Easy Electrical Experiment.

Take glass, expose it to the fire so
that it shall be perfectly dry and place
it upside down upon table. After
ward take tray, perfectly dry, and
place it upon the glass in such way
that it shall preserve its equilibrium.
Finally take sheet of paper slightly
smaller than the tray, heat it and rub
it rapidly with brush, and it will be-
come quickly electrified. Then place
it upon the tray.
An electrical machine will thus have
been constructed without any expense.
If the finger be brought near the tray,
spark will appear. This spark will
be SO much tho brighter and the series
of sparks will be so much the longer
in proportion as the glass and tray are
drier.
If, while the sparks are being drawn
from the tray. the room be darkened,
these sparks will appear extremely
brilliant.

Sufferers From "Gibberish Aphasla.' 9

OuhIOAOlo AAVhh - UApVOAASh APhdSAas
The Edinburgh Medical Journal
publishes an article which, among
other things, discusses the question of
the effects of brain changes on speech.
A patient is mentioned who suffered
from what is called "gibberish
aphasia." This poor man knew as
well as anybody else exactly what was
going on around him. He was per-
fectly sane in all respects, and, if his
tongue would have obeyed bis under
standing, all would have been well.
But when he began to speak nothing
whatever but absolute "gibberish"
would come out of his mouth. The
only coherent words he could utter,
and those only at times and by acct
dent, were IF you please, sir. "
Another patient, who also was sane,
could not even read aloud correctly
from a book when the page was open
before him. When asked, for example,
to read aloud the passage, cit shall be
in the power of the college to examine
or not to examine any licentiate," he
invariably read it thus: "An the be
what in the tomothar of the throtho-
todoo to majorum." The patient re-
covered in due time and spoke like
other people.

KNOWLEDGE

less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to

the value to health of the pure liquid

Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas

beneficial properties of perfect lax

dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid

every Objectionable substance.
