Cooking
Utensils. i

aluminium Cooking UtenSlS are
regarded as luxuries because OF high
prices, but this sale will place them
tor the time being within the reach
Of all.
Aluminium looks like silver, is ex-
ceedingiy light weight and very dur
able. Even the strongest acids will
not affect it, and it is therefore the
most cleanly and healthful material
for cooking utensils. For this very
reason it is being introduced largely
into hospitals.

TIP FROM A WOMAN.
But at this point in the case the
woman stepped upon the stage, and that
hers was a leading part was shown by
subsequent events.
For some time past Townsend had
been living with Os.er's sister, known
as "Box-Car," and she came to the con-
clusion that her brother Joe was not re-
ceiving square deal Her affection for
Townsend may also have been on the

IN MEMORIAM.

Payne Kibbe is dead. Pickering
like a candle, his life went out ana left
us allrin darkness.
We deeply mourn the loss of a friend
true and tried, faithful. worthy, 10y
al and jealous in all the relations OF
life. All who knew him, recognized in
him a gentleman of talent and the
highest sense of hon0r-one whose in
tellectual capabilities were well fitted
for the highest duties of life; ono whose
future seemed bright and shadGWless,
and one whose chances for true and
lasting fame seemed without q cloud.
till the grim reaper marked him for his
own. Though he was permitted to re-
main with us for q season, we know
full well that too soon we would be de-
prived of his companionship.
The boat is wrecked upon the shore
of eternity; the branch is cut down in
the flower of its days; the hour-gIass is
broken; the armor is laid aside; the
strife is over and his glorified spirit,
supported by angels and loved ones
that have gone before, has assembled to
heaven, where, with virtue that is &C.
%lestial, truth that is radiant and love
that is Godlike we hope to meet him
to separate no more forever.
We mingle III tears full Of sorrow
with those of his loved ones left on
earth and with them kiss the hand that
smltesfin love, despising not the chas-
tening Of the Lord. A few more years
on earth to spend, then you will join
and with him eat of the fruits of
paradise and drink at the fountain be-
yound the sunset clear.

Wednesday night the residence of

row escape from destruction by fire.
About half past nine o'clock, Divide
Broussard happened to notice a very
bright light il one of the front rooms as
he was passing and stopped to look a tit.
Seeing the front door partly open he APP
preached and found a bed in flames.
Without waiting to give an alaam he
rushed tothe cisterl for water and with
the assistance of a couple ofnegro Wom-
en- passing at the time extinguished the
fire. In a few moments more the entire
house would have been ablaZe.

An even excellence makes the good
Things which The Ladies' Home Journal
promises unusually interesting and
strong. The list is long and sturdy.
One series of papers alone would sell
the magazine; that's, fhe three White
House articles which ex-President
Harrison is to write. Each of the arti-
'cles will be profusely Illustrated. An
other series equally fascinating is one
called "Great Personal Events" in
which some of the greatest enthusiasms
which have occurred in America will
be received; those wonderful times
when Louis Kossuth rode up Broad
way; when the young Prince OF Wales
was. here; When Jenny Lind sang in
Castle Garden; when Henry Ward
Beecher electrified Iris audience his
congregation by selling slaves in his
pulpit; When Grant went round tho
world; when Henry Clay babe farewell
the senate, when John Wesley
preached in Georgia. all Of which SO
fewknow. All these memorable events
and others will be Yividly recalled, told
more graphically than ever before, and
illustrated with pictures which have
occupied twelve artists for over q year.
A third series is unique and valuable
the fact that it will give women
scores of ideas for their homes. 1t will
reveal what there is 'tInside of Hun
dred American Homes" and carefully
reproduce pictures Of one hundred
furnished rooms in this
country. Altogether, no magazine
gives a list of attractions so interest,"

odical does it, as does the Journal for
only one dollar per year. The Journal
is published by The Curtis Publishing
