A Card.

To Property Owners:
 Owing to the high quality of the Sherwin- Williams Company's paint we have found it difficult to build up a profitable trade in these goods. The whole trouble is the goods too high-priced for the average con 2 sumer.
 The result is we have a stock of several hundred gallons that is selling too slow, and in order to push them we will sell to any bona fide property owner or agent for use only upon his own property at s1.35 per gallon provided we have the colors selected T in stock No speculation allowed. These I prices do not apply to colors we have to order from factory. . tr

Flood In France.
PARIS, April 29-The fatalities caused
by the breaking, on Saturday, of the great
Bouzey dixie in the Epinal district of the
Vosges increase every hour. One hun
dred and fifteen deaths hsve already been
reported, but only 80 bodies have been re-
covered. 1t Is believed that the death list
will be greatly In excess Of the figures
above given when all the districts devas-
tated are heard from. It is supposed that
many Of the dead were swept into isolated
places where 1t will be long time before
the bodies are found.
The whole region over which the th ,u-
sands Of tons Of water swept in o resist
less food Is strewn with every sort of
wreckage, and the whole country presents
a most dreadful aspect In many places
the crops were swept clean out OF the
ground, and the losses thus incurred will
be very heavy. ~
All the municipal authorities are work
ing ceaselessly in distributing relief and
seeking to bring order out of the chaos
prevailing. Over 1000 persons from the

way mileage of this country. 1t says
that tits notable fnct that new rail-
ways are demanded in every one OF the
forty. eight States and Territories in
the United States, except in Rhode
Island and Idaho, while the number
and length of projected lines in some
OF these sections is surprisingly large,
as for example:
In Texas 1912 miles on y lines; Cal.
Norma 1880 miles, II lines; Arkansas
l,377 miles, 81 lines; Wisconsin 963
m!les, ii lines; South Dakota S33

ginia FOG miles, IA lines; Indian Terri.
tory 657 miles, i lines; Indiana go
miles. lines; Colorado $40 miles, l.

From the foregoing it is quite evi
dent that railway building has not
ceased, and that the promoter and bull
der has much yet to do IN that line.

claim. Those who wished to give them
their share in this trust fund, expressed
1t by their vote. A few questioned the
right of this new claimant and we are
told that the Selectmen before paying it
will appeal to the court for IA decision if
the Catholics in town are entitled to any
portion of this fund The requirements
of the trust are: LIST, That the preacher
must be preaching when the vote of dis
tribution is taken. 2nd, That he must
be a preacher of the gospel. That is, he
must be a gospel minister" Sd, The
minister must be preaching the gospel to
some society either a purely voluntary

THE Heart is the title of an excel

we read this instructive treatise did we
have the true conception of how wonder
full is the work of the human heart We
quote by special permission of the au-
thor the following from the preface:
every few people have ever given the
attention to their hearts that this impOr-
tant organ warrants. This wonderful
little machine which is not much larger
than yonr hand, and only about two and
half inches thich, labOrS day and night
without rest, performing such an enor.
nous amount of work as to be almost
beyond belief. Psychologists say each
pulsatlon, or contraction of the heart eX.
GrtS 80 pounds OF force. which amounts
to $500 minute, 2lG.O0O and hour, and
the uncomfortable number of }, lS4, GOO in
single day. Now, 1t is necessary that
all this vast amount of labor should be
done, and well done every day. The
health will surely suffer in consequence
Of the least failure ON the part Of the
heart to properly perform its duties.
When ii is weak or deranged it directly
affects every organ in the human body
aud they are unable tn perform their du-
ties from lack of Blood aud nerve force.
Those organs that are more intimatly as
sOciated with the heart are usually first
to feel the effects when it is irregular
and fails to perform its proper tuuc-
tons"
This treatise is very artiStically illus
trated with cOlOred plates, and, although
strictly scientific, is written in popular
language, making 1t very interesting
reading for all. The editor of this paper
has made special arrangement with the
publishers to have this treatise sent free
