Jonathan Odoll. the most powerful and unre-
lenting OF the Tory satirists. was born ut Now
ark, N. j.. in 1887. His earliest American an
ccstor, William Odell, Was among the founders
OF tho colony OF Massachusetts,. and was living
at Concord in 1889. Thus the most unRppeasa.
BILE foe of the American revolution, tho fercest
and stanchest champion OF the principle OF
autonomy OF Church and State, came OF the
stock of the primal Puritans of New England.
After his graduation at Princeton In 1854 he
was educated for the medical profession. and be-
came n surgeon in the British Army. He served
for a few years in tho West indies. and then
proceeded to England, where he prepared him
solf for tho sacred ministry. In January,
l7G7, he received priests orders at the
hands OF the Bishop of Norwich. and. hf-
teen days later. his liconso as q minister of
the Church OF England In Now Jersey. On his
arrival In the province no was indicted by Gov.
William Franklin into tho rectOrship Of st.
Mary's parish, burlington. Tho action Of the
English Ministry in renewing the project Of
colonial taxation WAS deeply lamentcd by Odell;
but lie was disposed by temperament, rs well rs
by his profession, to look with disapprpval upon
every proposal for violent resistance to consti'
tutod authority. Until after tho battle of
Bunker Hill, however. no absJaincd from all
public participation in political affairs. and
even after that event still hoped TO DO permit
ted 10 pursue his calling In peace. Soon. never
theless. the resentment provoked by his exhibi'
tion of loyalty constrained him to withdraw
within the British lines, and upon his arrival in
New York he was received into high favor.
Thenccforth no threw himself into the contest
with tho whole strength OF his nature. lilo

which formed tho basis OF tho political system

FRILLS OF FASHION.

Mauve and brown are one OF the pop
ular contrasts in millinery.
Torchon and valenciennes patterns
combined are the new laces for trim
ming undergarments.
Blouse waists of velvet or velveteen,
with a narrow metal belt, are the cor
rect bodice for skating costumes.
Watches have gradually diminished in
size until now the very latest bit of
enamel, set round with diamonds, is no
larger than a mans signet ring.
One secret of success in dress is 10
find out the colorS which are most be-
coming and never wander away from
these, no matter what the fashion is.
Mahogany -colored hair is the latest
fad, and the transition period between
dark brown and this coveted shade of
red is very interesting to the keen OBJ
server.
Satin ribbon two inches wide, plated
on the inside of the skirt at It he bottom
is the balayeuse which fashion favors
just at present. 1t is more durable than
the pinked silk ruffie.
Fine book muslin in all the pretty light
tints is used for evening waists for the
Young girls. and it is made over cheap
silk or satin. trimmed with lace and
ribbons and worn with light-colored or
black silk skirts.
Muff chains of gold with diamonds
set at intervals. so that they are open on
both sides, are one of the novelties in
jewelry. RubieS. sapphires. emeralds
and amethysts are also distributed in
the same manner

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

Carrots are delicacies to horses and
cattle. When animals are sick and re-
fuse food they may sometimes be
tempted to eat carrots, which shows
that they stand at the head of all root
crops as food for the stock.
The freezing point of potatoes is 800
degrees, and they must not be kept in
the light. Keep them at temperature
between "a and 40 degrees (the lower
the temperature the better), so as to
prevent sprouting.
When large numbers of stock are fed
together the stronger will continually
crowd away the weaker ones, who fail
to procure enough food to be in good,
thrifty condition. Such an unequal di-
vision causes an increase in the cost. 1t
is better to divide up into reasonably
small lots, according to size, age and
condition.
\ veteran broncho breaker gives the
following as a sure way to cure a horse
of kicking: Tie one of his forelegs
with a rope to his hind leg on the other
side. AS soon as he starts to kick he
jerks his front leg off the ground and
he goes down in a heap. Two or three
doses of that kind Will cure the worst
case you can find"
The larger the animal the, more it
costs to maintain it. as a rule, hence it
will cost much more in proportion to
weight to produce a hog weighing 300
pounds than one weighing 100 pounds.
Consequently there is larger profit per
pound from the small hog than from
the large one. and the farmer can keep
more small hogs than he can of large

The secret of health is to keep the
blood pure and full of strength. When
a man or woman loses flesh and vitality
there is something wrong in the blood
The start of it is likely to be in the
stomach or bowels. and if they are put
in order the trouble gradually stops.
Consumption is a germ disease, but if
the blood is good, and keeps the lungs
strong and healthy, the germs cannot
find place to lodge and are cast Off.
IF there is weak spot the germ will
find it. Even after that, strong and

that they can gradually rid themselves
of the germs. 1t is by creating strength
and purity that DR.. Pierces Golden
