One sad feature connected with the death of MT. Weinz was the fact that about a week ago his oldest son started in a fishing trip with Off, cer John Dippold and others for a cruise in eastern waters, leaving his father in comparatively good health, and as his whereabouts were unknown he could not be notified of his loss, and consequently was not present at the funeral. MT. WeinZ leaves large family to mourn his loss. Rev. MT. Scoville of Trinity P. E. church was the iating clergyman. There were many tributes of flowers Stahl & Son were the funeral directors. The de- ceased was a we'll known tinsmith. He died of heart disease while sitting in his chair. He had been to all indica- tions in his usual fair health up to the time he was stricken.

In New York the average number OF
persons to dwelling is eighteen and
one-half.
Many of the medieval churches
were originally constructed to serve
also, when occasion required, as fort
resses.
The Pasteur institute in Paris is still
as popular a resort for hydrophobic pa
tents as 1t was when the fame Of the
scientists cures by incubation was at
the fiood-tide.
The Chinese have bred whole col

In Wyoming Is a mound Of rock and
earth standing alone in the middle of 4
plain, called Church Butte. 1t is Of
most fantastic shape and looks in the
distance like the ruins Of some grand
old cathedral.
A Danish author told DR.. Felix Os-
valid, of the case of relative who
would steal from himself. He used to
tiptoe into his own pantry and make
off with uncooked prunes, raw onions
or anything Of the kind.
The Flagstaff upon which the first
secession flag was hoisted in South

1860 is still standing. 1t is fastened

An ingot of gold weighing 2A
ounces and worth about $50 is made
by the gold beaters into sheets so fine
that 1t would take $4,000 to measure
an inch in height. BY the labor Of
beating the gold acquires a value Of
$500, making over 10000 sheets Of
gold foil or gold leaf, as it is usually
called.
Pages at the English court, appoint

1t Is pointed out that the only me-
chanic buried in Westminster Abbey
Is George Graham, a native of Cum

and the mercurial pendulum, besides
sevral other improvements in appara.

was buried In 1751 and his funeral was
attended by all the members of the
Royal Society.
No theory or hypothesis which has

yet been suggested for the explanation
4, of the aurora borealis or northern light
What is known Is this: The direction
of auroral jets or rays and the position
of the crowns have a connection with
the magnetic meridian, and the aurora
produces great magnetic perturbation
Therefore 1t seems evident that the the
alter Of its action is the atmosphere
and that the agent to which its devel
opment is due is electricity, influenced
in some unascertalned manner by ter
restrial magnetism.

''Playin' possnm" comes from the
fact that the possum win feign sleep or
death when pushed into sudden danger
of being captured. But pains and aches
never play that kind Of q game. They
never try to fool anybody, and 30 to
work to wake up people, leaving no
chance to feign sleep. On the other
hand. there Is remedy known as st.
Jacobs OIL that will lull pain or an
ache 90 that 1t won't wake up again In
the cure that follows its use. Pains
and aches are great or less in intensity
just in degree as we treat them. Promp,
treatment with the best remedy-St
Jacobs Oil-prevents their increase and
by curing prevents their return. Every
