The Lote Miss Julia N. Oeden


 As from a bed of choicest flowers, we pause to select, with care, few, where all are lovely, so, from the fair life of her whom to-day we mourn, would we bind a cluster of beauty and fragrance, fearing lest we mar it.
 Of clear intellect, refined by culture, of lofty purposes, subdued to duty; firm in her convictions of truth herself most truthful modest, kind, consistent these are qualities of mind and heart to which those who know her best, most cordially assent.
 dutiful daughter, a devoted sister; solicitous, affectionate, constant-a friend most generous and true.
 Gentle and retiring her sympathies and many oenefactions were withheld from praise, but at the couch of pain, to the sorrowing and disheartened, in the homes of want and woe. there, were her ministries.
 The crowning trait of Miss ogden was intrepidity of Christian character. Early instructed and early convinced, she had tested well the foundation of her faith, and knew it to be secure. Thenceforth her path was full of light. Her hope was no dim perhaps" Hold ing ever with a firm grasp the faith which had been given her, she could ever say, T know whom I have be- lieved.

A Fine Showing-The Middlesex Bank
 ing Company.
 The American Agriculturist says: Tt is safe to say that the farmers have passed through the years of depression better than anybody in the country. Fewer farmers have failed, commer- cially speaking, than in any other busi- ness. The records of well managed farm mortgage companies in the west show that farmers interest is being promptly met and the principal of many mortgages reduced or paid in full. Probably the actual loss on in vestments in railroad mortgages in the past six years has exceeded the amount of all the farm mortgages in the coun- try The vast majority of farmers have, can or will pay one hundred cents on the dollar"
 As a proof of the above statements the Middlesex Banking company of Middletown has collected in three years past about four million dollars, princi- pal and interest, from western and southwestern farmers.

Blaze in the Package Room Causes
 Loss by Water.
 New York. Nov. 16.-The package room at the Grand Central station was badly damaged by fire and water this morning.

 Until the packages are claimed the exact loss cannot be ascertained. Lia- bility on the same is limited to $100. and a fire clause may throw the loss on the parties who have left the goods. There was a great quantity of goods on storage. The cause of ithe fire is unknown.

 But she doesn't get all right" She grows worse day by day, till all at once she realizes that distressing female complaint is established.
 Her doctor has made mistake.
 She has lost faith in him; hope van ishes; then comes the breeding, mor- bid, melancholy, everlasting BLUES. Her doctor, if he knew, should have told her and cured her, but he did not, and she was allowed to suffer. By chance she came across one of Mrs. Pinkham's books, and in it she found her very symptoms described and an explanation of what they meant. Then she wrote to Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass, for advice, feeling that she was telling her troubles to a woman. Speedy relief followed, and vigorous health returned.

The maiden of this end OF the century

1t is chip-carving, the most delightful

wood carving, which requires such a

holds half a dozen or so volumes and
stands on the library table. THIS, made
of white wood, can be bought for ex-

that require carving.
The pattern. which is usually one of

is drawn or traced with lead pencil.

are SO much in the habit of using the same
old words and phrases to give a hit or

do not realize how commonplace they are

Mr.. ingalls, does not believe in the ''Go
nothing" policy of congress, and he has
poor opinion OF the financial measures
which have been offered 10 congress for
consideration in the last three months

Discomfort In the South.
Mr.. Ingalls, says that in the south the
discomfort is taking "a very positive form.
whether this means Republican success
in that section or not it would be hard 70
say, but in Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia
and Tennessee, where 1 was very recently,

that they are going to have fair election

are not going to let it happen again. The
