DR. Holmes came from his summer home
at Beverly 10 days ago, and while not
quite in his accustomed health ut that
time did not regard himself sick, nor was
he so regarded by his children and friends.
For several years he had been sufferer
from asthma, and the day after his return
to Boston from Beverly he had IA particu-
larly severe attack of this malady,
1t was the beginning of the end DIR.
Holmes never left his bed again, for, while
the asthma was conquered, 1t left him In
such n weakened condition that he never
rallied.
Gradually and calmly he approached the
dark river. Grandly and peacefully he
waited for the end, knowing full well
that it was near for DR. Putnam told the
sufferer week ago that it must come.
Never robust DIR. Holmes lived to the
great age that he did only through having
taken the best of care of himself at all
times DIR. Putnam knew that when the
final sickness did come 1t would not DO a
long one.
Last night the serenity and peace that
always characterized DIR. Holmes life
were found about the house In which he
Law dead, but mono of the family was to be
seen.
Save for the faint sweet odor of flowers
which pervaded the place there was moth
ing to suggest house of mourning.

Genius at Her Feet.

Mrs. Yorke, wife of the dean of Worces-
ter, once described an incident of her ac-
quaintance with Thackeray. She happen
ed, she said, to be sitting one evening be-
tween Thackeray and Jacob Omnium,
whose build was even more gigantic than
Thackeray's own. Conversation, from
some cause unknown, was languishing,
when Thackeray turned to her and said:
Mrs. Yorke, why are you SO silent?'' Il
am overwhelmed by the greatness of you
two,'' she replied, glancing right and left
at their massive frames Thereupon, NOV
ed by common impulse, Thackeray and
Jacob slid from their chairs and sat on the
ground at her feet, las slight token Of
homage to one whose wit equaled her BEAU

Chinese MinstreIsy.

When I had finished eating my evening
meal, the beggar's son told me that his IA
ther was noted minstrel and wished to
regale me with one of his songs. Having
received leave, he tuned dilapidated BAN
jo and broke out in wild screech, &C.
companied by many grunts, much sniff
fling and the most horrible grimaces roll
ing his sightless eyes about. In nearly
unintelligible jargon he told of the life
and exploits of a great, good and honest
oficial-a mythical parsonage of whom
one often hears in China. 1t was long, very
long, and very painful to listen to. When
he had finally brought his song to an end
and the good official had received from the
emperor coral button of office, a yellow
riding jacket and patent of nobility with
retroactive effect, enrolling his parents and
his grandparents to the third and fourth
generations, he asked leave to sing another
dirty, but I bribed him to desist, and he
went to another howell and charmed the
inmates with his songs far into the night

Monotony In Breakfasts.

I got an amusing answer from famous
Boston lawyer relative to an equally ia
nous colleague of his who had died only
few hours previous. I asked him if there
was any particular characteristic of his
friends life worthy of especial notice
''Yes-yes, there was one-just one, and it
should receive due attention in any obitu-
airy. He had habit of eating the same
sort of breakfast for Is years at the same
hotel-four eggs, two slices of toast, a
rasher of bacon and a cup of coffee-a
most remarkable habit, most remarkable,
and never broken in all that time. That
is all that marked his social life as being
out of the ordinary. Boston Record.

DEERING.

The Toothpick Factory to Start Agai N
Next Monday-Lack of Raw Material the
Cause of Temporary Shutdown.
The PRESS is very glad to announce
that it was misinformed last week in
regard to the shutting down of the
toothpick factory at Morrill's Corner. 1t
was not because there was an over-stock
of toothpicks, but because all the raw
material had been used up and the logs
that had been ordered were detained in
Sebago Lake by ice. They will arrive by
train this week, and the factory will
start up again next Monday.
Since last October 800 cords of sspine
and poplar have been made into tooth
picks. Sixty hands have been employed
involving an average outlay of $500 per
week, and 1900 cases of toothpicks
have been manufactured. There is no
truth in a rumor that the factory will
remove to Sebago Lake.

way to cure Deafness, and that is by consti

infiamed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflam-
hearing. and when it is entirely closed Deafness
is the result, and unless the Inflammation can lie
taken out and this tube restored to its norma
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever

in 1892, the Consul-general at Paris and his
paper were outspoken in their advocacy OF
Mr.. Cleveland and ridiculing the pretensions
of Ex-Governor Gray. Mr.. Cleveland is by
no means grateful person. but he doubt
less appreciates the services Of Mr.. Morss
and his paper when it's services were of the
utmost Importance. The Sentiners attacks
upon the appointments of Isaac Pussy Gray
and District Attorney Burke may have pro-
voked the President at the time, but when
he appointed Mr.. Morss as consul-general to
Paris IL may be assumed that his vexation
had disappeared. There is no doubt that If
Mr.. Voorhees, should take the hostile edi-
torials Of the Sentinel 10 the President and
thereon demand the recall OF editor Morss,
Mr.. Cleveland would laugh at him. At any
rate, the threats of having Mr.. MorsS re-
called in an hour, which the senior Senator
is reported as making. will serve no other
purpose than TO show how desperate he
has become under the constant goading Of
the Sentinel.
