Nathaniel and BENJAMIN II. Barry, II
they live until November 30, next, will
be 81 years old, says the New York
World. They were born in the town
of Mannheim, Herkimer county. n. Y,
in 1905, and moved to Gates Orleans
county, with their parents in 1916.
Nathaniel, who lost his wife last win
ter, still lives on farm with two of
his sons. He still helps them in the
work. He lives about two miles and a
half from his brother Benjamin. who
resides at Yates Center, and enjoys
going fishing with him at Sbadagee, on
Lake Ontario
Benjamin r. lives on small place of
thirty and half acres, which he helps
TO work. He also oversees his farm of
lit acres and goes fishing nearly every
day. Both brothers cast their first vote
for Andrew jackson, and have voted
the democratic ticket ever since. Rem.

peautle. Of the Material Llfe.

All the hymns, all the prayers. all
the scripture readings are as nothing
unless you make their beauty come into
your daily life, writes Ruth Ashmore
in the October Ladies Homo journal.
Take some of the care off the shoulders
of the busy mother; make life seem
more pleasant by your gracious thought
of that father who tolls all day long.
Make il easier for a sister to dislike the
wrong and do the right: show a brother
the rosy side of the cross, and so make
it lighter for him to carry. And do all
this, not with loud protestations, but
quietly and gently, letting Gods name
be whispered in your heart, and being
only the sister and daughter without
forcing the knowledge that you are the
Christian. Then, very soon, some one
will realize that your beautiful life is
lived for Christ's sake, and then you
will represent Him as all women should
not by speaking from the pulpit, not by
giving commands. but by living every
day the life that he would wish should
be yours.

sounds ut Night.

Sir David Brewster has given an ex-
cellent account of a mysterious night
sound which would have frightened
most persons, but which proved inno-
cent and harmless when tested by a
steady observer. A gentleman heard a
strange sound every night soon after
getting into bed His wife, who re-
tired earlier than he, also heard the
wierd sound, but not until the husband
had got into bed For long time no
possible cause could be assigned, and
the effect upon the imagination became
rather unpleasant The husband dis
covered some time afterward that the
noise came from the door of ward
robe which stood near the head OF tile
bed. 1t was his custom to open and
close this wardrobe when undressing,
but, as the door was little tight, he
could not quite shut it. The door,
probably affected by changes in the
temperature, forced itself open with a
dull sound which was over in an in
