The funeral of Mrs. Serge Hall oc-
Cured at 1870 Tues ~ay morning at
her home and was attended by a large
number of neighbOrs and friends. The
Rev. Thomas Potter, of Aliens Grove
oficiated. He was former pastor OF
Mrs. Hall and the family was fortunate
in securing his services just at this time
when the pastors in the vicinity were
all absent. He paid fitting tribute
of respect to the deceased, with whose
christian life and experience he was
familiar in the years that he lived hel
near neighbor. Surely those who
looked upon the face in the casket
must have felt that peace and joy had
left their impress on the features there

Notwithstanding the inclement
weather Nixon's were thrOnged at their
opening Oct. LIST. The store was beau
tifully decorated in the national colOrs,
which were draped in many artistic
designs, and numerous bouquets of cut
flowers we're also prominent feature
of the decorations. The ladies we're
loud in their praise of the manner in
which Miss Morgan executes her artis-
tic ability. She certainly proves her
self an artist in her line, and Bristol
can now boast of having trimmer
whose equal is not found outside the
city. The numerous patterns were the
comment and admiration of all. Nix
on's have a large and select stock of
everything in the millinery line, and it
will be of interest to the ladies to call
and examine before purchasing else
where.
Miss Morgan, fIom Gage Bros. & Co.,
will remain at NiXon's as TRIM er for
several months yet. Don't fail to call
and see her when in need of anything
in the millinery line.

Many a man who seemed picked out for
death by consumption has found respite
and safety through the use of that wonder
full " Golden Medical Discovery" which
DR. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N Y, invented
thirty years ago, and which has brought
new life and hope to almost countless
thousands of men and women.
Every day brings a multitude of letters
to DR.. Pierce, telling gratefully what his
medicines and his advice have done to
restore health and happiness to homes
where hitherto sickness and misery had
reigned supreme.

WANT ANOTHER COTTAGE.
Close of a Very Successful Season at st.
Mary's Summer Home.

The children from Saint Mary s
Home, Washington Boulevard, Chicago
who have been summering in Pier
Cottage" Kenosha, returned to their
city quarters on Wednesday last.
Their plump faces and sturdy robust
ness spoke in loud praise of the kind
ness of their Kenosha entertainers.
During the four months of their stay
in the country so generous has been
the response to the Sisters appeal 70
help that there has been absolutely no
outlay IN cash for meat or vegetables.
The L" Home" wagon returned daily,
filled with fruit, vegetables, butter,
cakes and pies. The English ard
Cudahy meat markets have given
regularly and alternately for the
dinners, and.kind mothers.have supple
mented the substantials with generous
buildings or with money to get what
was most needed. Every Sunday there
has been a testal menu, including ice
cream sent by Mr.. Hollister.
Mrs. Pennoyer took the entire house
hold for a drive, in addition to many
other acts Of kindly interest. One
beautiful day, Mr.. Harry Kupfer sent
his carriages to give them long happy
day picnicking under the shady trees
on the island grass and shade and good
things to eat make up summum
bonum for children of vagrant antece
dents; and such an experience is a
happy possession for the children and
a Tightening of routine for weary care
takers.
One might multiply the instances of
generous co operation, making possible
this long outing" for sixty or seventy
children, to whom it means healthy,
happy growth, the slow eradication of
disease or chronic weakness and the
easing of the burden of life to many
anxious, hard worked mothers.
The Sisters are glad and hopeful in
recognizing increasing interest in this
effort which promises to be a perma
nent charity among US, feeling sure
that it must commend itself to all who
share in it's support as needed work
with large returns.
With each year the number of urgent
applications increases and means only
are needed to double the number bene-
flied. May it not be possible by united
efforts to equip for another summer
second Pier Cottage?"

Weather Records.

The great end and aim of school
training is to cultivate the habit Of
accurately seeing things and properly
determining relations. The main
difference between such men as Erics-
son, Edison, Franklin and such women
as Harriet Beecher Steve, George
Eliot, and the average man or woman
is that the one was able to see more in
a given thing than the other. To the
average person electricity is simply a
curious appearance-a flash of light.
To an Edison it means a source of
energy, a servant that will turn
machinery and transmit thought, one
that will put girdle round the earth
in forty minutes"
I don't intend to claim that every
person can become an Edison, a Morse
or a Mrs. Stowe, but we all know that
anyone having an average brain can
be so taught as to use his faculties to
increased advantage. Inasmuch as
the teachers of the county are engaged
in forming faculty, anything tending to
aid them in their good work will be
thankfully received. [ present for
your consideration a scheme which has
been used in thousands of schools, and
which have used in my own practice
with pleasure and profit. The aim OF
the plan is to train pupils TO observe
the weather. This work lays basis
for the study of climate, and thus saves
time in the higher grades.
| No part of the entire course is more
important than the making of these
records.
Get a sheet of ordinary wrapping
paper. Using a common yard stick,
such as can be got at almost any bust
ness house, rule the paper in such a
manner as to number the days of the
month at the top. At the side of the
paper write the following items: Tenn
perature, direction of wind, state of
sky (clear, cloudy or partly cloudy,
dew, frost, snow or rainfall. The
temperature can be found from the
thermometer, which is supposed to be
in every school room. Appoint pupil
to attend to the record each day.
Have the observation made at fixed
hour: say 10 o'clock. At the end of a
month there is filed out complete
record for that month. The children
will take great interest in a thing
which they have made. The chart can
be fastened to the wall by means of a
little paste or mucilage put on each
corner The same chart may be made
to answer for two or three months.
To those who think that education
consists only in what child absorbs
from a book, this scheme will be
thought fad" But to those who
know that mental strength is got by
the study of both books and nature,
the plan above presented will seem
full of life and light. In my next cir
cular of information | will send model
blanks for this work.
