evening of the life of Milo M. Silsby, son
OF Hon. Levi and Susan Powers Silsby,
born in Lunenburg and died in Jackson
vile, Florida
Like most Vermont boys, he was edu-
Gated on the farm, and in the district
school, short period at Montpelier
seminary completing the process, when
he was still a mere boy. And then COM
menced necessarily the personal struggle
Tor success. Serving for short time as
clerk in the store of d. & F. w. Silsby at
Lyndonville, he then entered a larger
field of activity by going to Boston in
1873, being employed in the Continental
clothing house OF Freeland, LOOMS &
Co., where he worked for ten years in
such manner as to Justly earn the con-
hdence OF his employers.
In 1888 he commenced business for
himself as merchant tailor at 80 Corn
hill which he prosperously continued till
1894, since which time he has endeavored
by spending much time in Colorado and
Florida, to strengthen physical system
weakened by sickness and an intense
application to business. Mr.. Silsby was
peculiarly happy in his disposition, quiet
and unassuming, but always light
hearted and happy and very deep in his
affections, he was domestic TO such an
extent as to make happy exception to
the rule. His home was the best place
on earth to him, and its life as breathed
out in the influence of his loved ones was
a foretaste of the joys OF heaven. OF
strict integrity, he made business asso-
cates honor and respect him. BY his
purity of character and uprightness Of
purpose he gained and held the esteem OF
all who knew him; by his selhessness he
made the home and family ties very
enduring A patience that prevented all
complanings and a great hope that
cheered and sustained him to the last
hours, helped to make his life a safe
example. The fruits OF such life are to
be found in the memory of those who
came in touch with it and have been
helped and uplifted by the contact. Such
life, however short, finds its true
measurement in the words, 1T was a
success"
Mr.. Slsby was a member of Elliott
Congregational church, Newton, Mass.
He was married September II, 1879, to
Miss Isabella J. Davis OF Roxbury, Mass,
who died alter happy married life of
nearly nine years. June IL, 1890, he
married Miss Rebecca W. Hyde of Brook
line, Mass, who, most faithful in her
loving minstrations in all his hours of
suffering, now survives him. He also
leaves an aged mother. one brother, F.
w. Silsby OF Lyndonville and FIVE sisters,
Mrs. F. D. Hale, Mrs. M. D. Bunker,
Miss Jennie A. Silsby OF Lunenb burg, Mrs.
E. c. Frost OF Lyndonvile and Mrs.
Susie B., widow ofJoseph W. Silsby, long
favorably known in the business circles
of Boston. true and devoted husband,

Hawthorne Truly Says:

"These railroads are positively the
greatest blessing that the ages have
wrought out for US. They give Us
wings; they annihilate the toll and
dust Of pilgrimage: they spiritualize
travel! Transition being so facile,
what can be any mans inducement to
tarry in one spot? Why should he
make himself prisoner for life in
brick, and stone, and old, worm.eaten
timber, when he may just as easily
dwell wherever the beautiful shall
offer him homer"
The magnificent trains OF the Santa
Fe route offer facile transition to
many beautiful spots in Colorado,
New Mexico, Arizona, and California.

A Substitute for Amputatlon.
Kansas City Journal,

hhnSdS OlIy JOurndl'
DR.. Reclus, French Surgeon, has
set the medical world TO discussing a
new system OF treatment for manned
and lacerated limos. He is demon
strating his theory in a Paris hospital,
and is credited by the medical Jour.
mails with very remarkable results.
His idea is that many limbs now Us
ually amputated may be saved, and
that nature should be allowed to de-
termine when amputation is necessary
aud then supply Der own means. We
quote from the Medical Times:
Whatever the extent or gravity of
the LESSONS, he never, under any cir
cumstances, amputates the injured
limb, but merely wraps it in antisep-
tic substances by veritable embalm-
ing process, leaving nature 10 separate
the living from the dead tissues.
This method possesses the double ad.
vantage OF being much less fatal than
surgical eXaresis, and Of preserving
for the use OF the patient, if not the
entire limb, at any rate a much
larger part than would be left after
amputatiOn. The base Of this treat
ment lies in the free use OF hot water.
After the skin has been shaved and
cleansed from all fatty substances by
ether, etc., in the usual way, jet Of
hot water not higher than l44 is made
to irrigate all the injured surfaces and
to penetrate all the hOllowsand under
all the detached parts OF the wound
without exception. The advantages
of hot water at this high temperature
are threefold. First, hot water at
this temperature is antiseptic, heat
greatly increases the potency Of anti
septic substances; second, it Is blood
stanching; third, 1T helps to compen-
safe for the loss OF heat during bleed
ing, and especially from the traumatic
shock. After the 'embalming' pro-
cess, and the dead tissue has separ.
ated itself from the living the sur.
geOn has nothing to do except to divide
the bone at a suitable spot"
| A lecturer before the recent meet
ing OF the French congress OF surgeons
declared unreservedly that the chop
ping off Of human limbs directly after
an injury would soon be relegated tC
the unscienti6c past.

Like an Eden.

j.. J. Frye, general manager of the
Santa Fe railroad company, was at
the Coates House in Kansas City last
Saturday. He had come in from a
somewhat extended tour of inspection
over the lines of the company in Kan
sas and Oklahoma, aud was feeling
elated over the splendid outlook
everywhere. To a reporter for the
Kansas City Journal, he said:
u have never seen the state Of
Kansas looking more beautiful than
she appears today. The outlook for
the crops is as fine as anyone could
desire. The whole state is blooming
like a garden and the crops are grow
ing as II they really intended to break
all records. The diversity OF crops is
apparent even in hasty trip through
the country. One Of the most salts
factory conditions l found was the
general good feeling OF the people.
They are in their old time good hum
or. They could hardly be otherwise,
surrounded as they are with present
conditions and prospects so fair. II
is enough to make any one feel en-.
couraged, and il lis highly pleasing to

Down in Oklahoma the wheat
crop is practically made and harvest

is reported as large aud the showing

a large acreage Of cotton that prom

to expect bOuntiful harvest.
