OBITUARY.
IRIS. SARAH ELIzABErH MUcHMoRE.

MRS. SARAH ELIZABETH MUCHMORE.
Mrs. Sarah Elizabeth Muchmore, wife
Of Joel w. Muchmore, who has been
seriously i'll for several weeks past, died
at her residence on Ridgedale avenue
early on Sunday morning last. Her
maiden name was Bum, and she was
the only sister of the late Lewis D. Bum
former well known resident of Morris
town. She was born at Springfield,
then in Essex County, January 9th, 1891,
and was married at Chatham by Rev.
Joseph M. Ogden, on February 18th,
1912. Almost Immediately thereafter,
Mr.. and Mrs. Muchmore removed to
this town which has since been their
home, and with the growth and develop
ment of which they have been closely
identified. She united by letter with the
South Street Presbyterian Church, and
was always one of its earnest supporters.
She was a woman of strong char
acter, active in many religious and
charitable enterprises, and her benevo-
lence was of that type which was un-
stinted in its ministrations and took in
without distinction all who sought or
neededit.
Her home was always open for any
demand that charity or patriotism could
make upon it. and it was under her roof
that during the war of the Rebellion the
measures were concerted and the organi-
cation formed for furnishing needful
supplies for the sick and wounded soldiers
A. III e.. \
mother, kind and sympathetic friend
and warm hearted, generous and helpful
neighbor.
The end came quietly and peacefully,
her death will be sincerely mourned by
large circle outside her own family.
Funeral services were held on Wednes-
day afternoon at her late residence on
Ridgedale avenue and were largely at
tended. Rev. DIR. Erdman officiated as
sisted by Rev. S. q. Batten. Her re-
mains were borne to her last resting
place Evergreen Cemetery by her two
sons, three sons in-law and eldest grand
son.
MRS. HENRY c. SANDERS.
Mrs. Henry G. Sanders, widow of the
late Henry G. Sanders, former Assembly
man, died at her home on the Mendham
road near Brookside last Sunday, in her
81st year. She was daughter OF the
late William Phoenix, for many years
proprietor of the Mendham Hotel; q sis
ter of Mrs. William Phoenix of Mend
ham and of Mrs. Henry Day of Brook
side, and mother of the late DIR. Sanders,
who for many years practised in Morris
town. Funeral services were held at the
house yesterday.

Drying Clothes.

The drying of clothes in frosty weather is sometimes. in the case of delicate fabrics, attended with tearing because of the quick stiffening in the very cold air. A simple precaution which will prevent any such trouble is to dissolve three or four handfuls of coarse salt in the last rinsing water, thus making it, in fact. weak brine. Articles so rinsed will not suffer from or stiffen with the cold.

Huxley and Arnold.

Dean Farrar records in his "Men l Have Known" an amusing and perfect ly good natured retort which MT. Mat thew Arnold provoked from Professor Huxley, for the better appreciation of which it may be added that the sweet ness and light" of which Mir. Arnold wrote, were exemplified in his own very airy and charming manners:
 l sometimes met Huxley in company with Matthew Arnold, and nothing could be more delightful than the con- versation elicited by their contrasted individualities.
 remember walk which once took with them both through the pleasant grounds of Paris Hill, where Mr. Ar holds cottage was. He was asking Hux- ley whether he liked going out to din- her parties, and the professor answered that as rule he did not like it at all.
 .'Ah, said Nr. Arnold, ''i rather like it. It is rather nice to meet people. 9
 "Oh, yes, replied Huxley, but w are not all such everlasting Cupids ai you are.

A Greedy Little Fish.

The little fish known as miller S thumb-the fresh water sculpin-is one of the natural checks on the overpro- duction of trout and salmon. It eats the eggs and the young fish. It is found in all trout waters as fast as examined. It is very destructive. At an experiment once made ill the aquarium of the Unit cd States fish commission, in Washing ton, a miller's thumb about four and one half inches long ate at a single meal, and all within a minute or two, 21 lit tie trout. each from three-quarters of an inch to an inch ill length.-New York Sun

CHINKs IN A MUss.

Whatever may be the matter with China and other countries, it is said that for the reason that most of them have so little to feed upon and so very much hard work to do they suffer greatly with neuralgia. It is doubtful if they could suffer more than our people do, owing at times to the extremely damp, chilly atmosphere in winter, which seems to have peculiar influence upon the nervous system so as to produce this affection, but happily for our comfort and the cure of the pain, St. Jacobs Oil is recO- nized as its sovereign remedy. With pain produced from cold there is an absolute need of the warmth and strength which St. Jacobs Oil gives. and through this means it performs it's office promrtly and surely.

Rice SnOwballs.

Here is a recipe from Good House keeping: Boil the rice till very tender and half fill small cups which have been dampened on the inside, putting in the rice while still very hot. Set away in refrigerator or some cold place for at least three hours. Just before the din- ner hour cut out the center of each rice cake and fill it with some bright colored jelly Then turn out the mounds upon platter and pour soft custard about their bases or simply serve with cream and sugar. This makes an attractive dessert and is very easily prepared.

Large pieces of old sod form the very best winter protective material when Obtainable. These heaped about the roses will protect the most tender from severe freezing, and they come out in the spring in splendid order. It is just as good used about any other half hardy plant. SOot from the kitchen chimney, especially from a wood fire, is invaluable in cultivation of flowers. Rich in ammonia it stimulates and deepens the color of flowers. Used as an insecticide it is equally effective in destroying and removing the pest on account of the creosote contained in it. Soot from hard coal exclusively is of less value, still it is worth saving Eick'S Magazine.

BEFORE THE RAILROADS.
When Philadelphia Was the Greatest City
 In the American Colonies

In the American Colonies.
 In 1774 Philadelphia was the largest town in the American colonies. Esti- mates of the population, which are all we have, differ widely, but it was prob ably not far from 30,000. A single city now has larger population than all the colonies possessed in 1774, and there are in the United States today 1O4 cities and towns of over 30, 900 inhabitants. Figures alone, however, cannot express the difference between those days and our own. Now town of 30, 900 people is reached by railroads and telegraphs. It is in close touch with all the rest of sho world. Business brings strangers to 1t constantly, who come like shadows and so depart, unnoticed, except by those with whom they are immediately concerned. It was not so in 1774, not even in Philadelphia, which was as nearly as possible the central point of the colonies as we'll as the most popu- lous city.
 Thanks to the energy and genius of Franklin, Philadelphia was paved, light SN oAu OI uCASU III a way d1-uOSL uukuOWu in any other town of that period. It was we'll built and thriving Business was active, and the people were thrifty and prosperous and lived well. Yet, de- spite all these good qualities, we must make aL effort = .to Imagination to -e- alize how g-iotl5 and slow y lie moved then in comparison to the pace of today.
 There In Philadelphia was the center of the postal system of the continent and the recently established mail coscLi called the Flying Machine, " not in jest but in praise. performed the jour ney to New York in the hitherto un- equaled time of two days. Another mail at longer intervals crept more slowly to the south. Vessels of the coast wise traffic or from beyond seas came into port at uncertain times and after long and still more uncertain voyages The daily round of life was so regular and so quiet that any incident or any novelty drew interest and attention in 8 way which would now be impossible.- Senator Henry Cabot Lodge in Scrib- ner's.
