ness TO the happy home circle.
On Sunday morning Rev. ii. +. Shier
was hastily summoned from his pas
toral work in the NJ. +. church, and the
word went round that he had been
summoned to the bedside of Mrs. w. III.
Rollins, whose life was rapidly ebbing
away. The report was only too true, as
was verified during the afternoon by
the announcement that Mrs. Rollins
had passed quietly away shortly after
two O'Clock. The news caused feel
ing of sadness throughout the village
us the deceased was universally respect
ed and beloved.
Sarah j. Miller was born in Mark

May /, 1898, of cancer of the bladder.
aged "a years, 4 months and 81 days.
She was married to w. Ii. Rollins at
London, Ont. September 2S, 1867: came
to Michigan in 1876, and to West
Branch April 9, 1891, where she resided
continuously since.
Deceased has been an invalid for
about fifteen years, during which time
she has suffered much. Of a bright
cheerful disposition, however, her
friends knew little of her suffering
Early in life she became a member of
the Baptist church and remained q
consistent member thereof till her
death. An earnest, christian woman
she bore her burden of physical afilic-
tion with patience and fOrtitude, and
her last moments were calm, peaceful
and happy, sustained by an abiding
faith in her Savior. Her death was but
the passing TO better and a brighter
land, where sorrow is never known, and
where pain and suffering are at an end.
The funeral services occurred Tues
day afternoon from the NJ. +. church,
and were conducted by the pastor, Rev.
IL. +. Shier, who delivered solemn
and impressive address from the text,
Il will not leave you cOmfOrtless;
will come to YOU" The pail bearers
were q. y. White, /. Quackenbush, +.
w. Clark, Andrew Dollar, Homer Bird
sail and +. Blundell, members of Odd
fellows lodge, number of the mem
bers of which also attended the funeral.
The Rathbone Sisters, of which deceas-
eds son and daughter are members,
attended in a body. The attendance
was very large, the church being filed
by those anxious to pay the last tribute
of respect to their departed friend and
neighbor.
The floral offerings were very beauti-
full, being composed mostly of lilies and
white roses.
Deceased leaves a husband. two
daughters and a son TO mourn the loss
of most affectionate and devoted wife
and mother and number of other re-
lations in her former home. TO these
bereaved ones goes out the sympathy
of a people who knew, loved and now

Big Guns OF Our Nayys

Some idea of the execution Of the
big guns of the navy and the accuracy
of thoir aim may be gained from q
recent report of target practice.
The gun used was thirty-five feet,
long and weighed sixty-iive tons. The
bullet was projoctilo three feet long,
weighing one thousand pounds, and
the charge was one hundred and
thirty pounds of sn,oikoiuss powder,
each grain more than two inches long.
The gun cost 100000, and each dis
charge costs $3.50. SO terrific is the
concussion when such gun is fred
that often windows arc smashed one
thousand feet away and sometimes
the sashos arc thrown ollt. ollttF+---.! 5pfa5t { ne.
charge ~cxertcd~a pressure of nearly
10000 pounds to the square inchand
gave the ball velocity of moro than
1000 feet second. The officer
wishes to increase the speed of the
shot to $3.50 feot a second, and tho
record showed that after tho proiec-
tile had reco >hetted four miles to
sea its speed was just three feet
second faster than was calculated.
Eight shells out of twelve were sent
through armor-plato within q chalk
circle of foot and ahalf $500 yards
away. One of these big guns may
be fired about 300 times before it
becomes "dead." AS each proiectile
travels along the barrel of tho gun
just one-tenth of second, the life
of actual use is but thirty seconds.
The officers can quickly determine
accurately the range and distance by
means of a tclemeter. The firing of
one of these big guns is matter of
science and skill. These facts help
us to understand the effective work
done by our guns at Manila and on
tho coast of Cuba last week.

A Wise Railroad.

1t is well for young mon to learn that
dram-drnking is shutting many doors of
profitable employment to thom. The
drinking man is not wanted in any of the
great folds of industry. Men of largo
means do not care to trust their interests
to mon who t;.inpor with liquor. The
fact is becoming moro and moro patent
every day. Ono of tho most signifi-
can't steps, showing tho attitude
of great moneycd interests toward
dram-drnking is the recent action
of tho Norfolk and Western Railroad.
This is tho most important line of rail
road in Virginia, with branches running
cut into West Virginia and Ohio, in all
operating over 1900 miles Of track and
employing many thousands of mon.
On the 28th day of March the employees
of that company received tho following
general order: =
"You will please bc governed by the
following /: We will not retain in our
service any ono who uses liquor as q
beverage, whilo on or off duty. This
rule will bo enforced to tho letter, rs tho
salty of tho lives of passengers and em-
ployccs, and tho financial interest Of this
company demand its onforcemont."
This is signed by tho superintendent,
and thon comes tho following, which tho
cmployc rccioving the notice is required
to sigh and return: -.....
"T horeby acknowledge to have received
q copy of Bulletin $40, dated March 28th,
1893, in regard to tho non-uso of liquor as
q beverage while on or off duty.
thoroughly understand tho samo and
will bo governed accordingly"
If strict prohibition Of all use of liquors
as beverage is to tho advantage Of a
great and woll-managcd railroad system,
why shonld it not also bo to tho advnn-
tago Oft State ? The Norfolk and Vest
orn has taken what may be called radical
q favorito route with all travellers. Bust
ness mon, who arc not ontanglod with an
nnholy alliance with tho vilo stuff, know
that no man IL e:.tirC!y safe who tSanip1rs

for good mon, who love their homes and

DO We Know How We Look to Others.

1t has been said by one who ought
to know that no man has any clear
conception of how he looks. The
expression of the face is continually
changing. When you look in the
glass, the very intent to find out how
you look is depicted on your face.
The moro you strive the more the
intent is intensified, and such an ex-
preston is not natural to your face.
How often do we look at a photo
graph and find only disappointment
in it Why is this ? The camera
depicts the setter just as he is at the
moment the picture is taken, but
very seldom can the instrument
catch and record that subtle thing
called "natural expression" because
few persons are natural when seated
before the camera.
We'll, what of this Simply this !:
If you are noble, loving and true,
such virtues will light up your face !;
if you are sordid, mean and selfish,
your face proclaims it to the world
Anything in your face that is active
for good or evil will impress itself
upon your personal appearance.
Pride, scorn, hate and vice write
themselves indelibly in the physi-
ognomy. When such ignoblc quail
ties rule the life, and have become
habitual, they are impressed on the
face, and finally become habitual to
the countenancc, and the features
themselves become permanently
changed to accord with such express
sions.
1t has often been remarked that
persons who have been married for a
long term of years come TO look
something alike, nor is this surpris-
ing when we call to mind that their
life and environment arc one, made
up of the same joys and sorrows,
the same hardships and trials, and
the same successes and pleasures !;
in short, the intellectual and spiritual
atmosphere Of both are to conside-
rable extent identical, and we know
that these things affect the physiogo-
nomy often to such degree as to
mold the physical features of the
face into same shapc.-Thc Ledger.
