MT. D. Wiley, ex=postmaster, Black Creek, N. Y., was so badly afflicted with rheumatism that he was only able to hob ble around with canes, and even then it caused him great pain. After using Chamberlain's Pain Balm he was so much improved that he threw away his canes. He says this liniment did him more good than all other medicines and treatment put together.

Ihave talked with police chiefs all over the country and the general opinion is that drunken ness has decreased in all sections, and al- though this is more marked among the well-to-do, drinking is not what 1t was among the laboring classes. Railroads, life insurance companies, mutual aid soci- cities and many other organizations have | refused membership and work to men who drink" This testimony comes from an unusual source and should hearten all good men and women in their efforts to { to promote sober life.
 Home has been called a woman's sphere. It is a mistake. Woman's sphere is Him. ited only by the extent to which her use- fitness may radiate, but every true wo- man who has home finds that to be the center of her sphere. There are homes and homes. The clam has 8 home and the robin has home. Some home keep to enjoy Gods sunlight and fill the earth with song, only to return with riches fol the nestlings; others initiate the snail who carries her home on her seouldrs or the clam, whose house is very boauti. full within, but who has little to do with the outside world

Fri day, June IA, is the worlds executive meeting which is not open to delegates. Saturday occurs the British executive meeting, also not open to delegates. Sun. day is the B. w. T.

Willimantic Journal As usual when anything" affecting them unfavorably is suggested, Rockville gets hysterical over the:diYision of Holland county, the Rock villeJ ournal of last week having this to say on the subject: "Envious neighbors have. again brought up the plan of tearing Holland county into two sections, present. ing. one to .Wiadham county, the other to Hartfo Ed*,ss Of course the only pretext for |thise revival of this one sided Aa4fd useless tdiscusson is the claim that-as in many other counties in this and many other states-it is inconvenient to cross from the, farther frontier to the county seat. It will be but few years before this dis advantage is done away with. The intro ductiOn of the trolly will reduce distance and establish more comfortable means of communications And incidentally, the i'm I,prQyement of the roads will not be with out assistance in drawing the ends of Holland county nearer together" It may be we'll to suggest without carrying the discuss Ion further, that the project was not raised by "envious neighbors," but F RT Poland county residents, who are in- conventeneed by existing arrangements. And. speaking of "envious neighbors,: z the J66Thal need not fear that anything will be zdiscovered in that vicinity that will attain to being an object of envy to neighboring cities.

THE DEAD GRANDMA.
BY MRS. FINDLEY BRADEN.

In memory of Mrs. Eleanor Babcock, who died at Cape May, N. J., aged 81 years, and was bur led at Stanford Springs, Conn.
 Silently, gently enter with me, A neat little cottage by the sea. Lift the latch softly, then note the gloom And the solemn hush within that room. Hark! Outside the wild waves say, Dear, good Grandma died today" Gaze once more on the loving face, Beautiful still in deaths embrace. Loving blue eyes, hidden we know, Meath those wrinkled lids of snow. Kiss the cold forehead, lips and cheek, Dear, dead Grandma cannot speak. Poor tired hands are now at rest, Folded so calmly on her breast.
 Busy were they, long life through; Nothing remained for them yet to do. Her journey is ended, her work Is done, And Grandma's golden crown is won. Look A smile fingers on the face, Still so full of beauty and grace. Perhaps 'tisSa sign that we may know How glad she was, at the last, to go. For, lingering late, and weary of heart, Grandma only longed to depart. A child of New England, they brought hel
 back,
 Tenderly o'er. the familiar track. Then laid her down with loving hands, And gathered: :'round in fearful bands. Beyond the Connecticut, blue and bright Grandma quietly sleeps tonight. And shall we not pause to drop tear With those, whose future looks so drear An, who can forget this lifelong friend, Faithful, fond and true to the end? An, this eartA's joys, this glad New Year Are not for Grandma, sleeping here. But Earthly pleasures are as dross, And she will count them little loss; When He has come for whom we wait, In patience, though he tarry late, Then wonders, grander and more meet, Will Grandma's raptured vision greet. | Centre Square, Pa. :'F MRS. c.

A new record in fast railroading has re. gently been made on the Camden and At lantic road in New Jersey. Here 58.a miles were covered in 45 minutes and 45 seconds, averaging 761 miles an hour. On one stretch of 49 miles the rate of 79.7 miles an hour was made, and other short CT stretches were covered at rate of 82.- 83 and even SIS miles an hour. The nearest approach to this record was the New York Centrals run of 30 miles be- tween Rochester and Syracuse in 1893 at the rate of 6S.5 miles an hour.

How to Help Your ToWn-NO. (.
 Misdirected energy largely goes to waste. One body of citizens sees one great "crying need" of the town that ought to take precedence of all others. A second body has another hobby, and still third holds these secondary to their idea of the most immediate need. Per- haps all are worthy objects, but in a sense they are opposing each other. A con- blne of force would perhaps soon bring about all three Improvements, while the continuance of the diversion may defeat all. Harmony Is the thing in village and town improvement. All work together. We can keep step in the march of prog ress even if we had rather the band should play some other tune. If you see a good work going on give 1t a push, even if it isn't just the form of improvement that you have been advocating. Don't sulk because you are a wheel horse rather than leader. The real public spirited man is he who loves to see public i'm. provement for its own sake rather than for the glory of having his name asso ciated with it, and on the whole that sort of person is quite apt to ultimately get 6 full need of appreciation.

among the best paying crops that

second for the seed which always
