and died many years ago, leaving
his widow aud six children; james
A. Pearson, Mrs. Fannie Bumpass,
Rev. j. W. Pearson, Mrs. Mollie
Collier and p. NJ. Pearson, by a
former marriage. and Mrs. James
Darwin, the only surviving fruit
of this marriage.
Mrs. Pearson united in early
| life with the Cumberland Presby-
terrain church By profession Of
faith, aud from the testimony Of
/ those who knew her, she devoted
her life Of more than three score
years 10 the faithful service of the
Master and her fellow.men.
In proof Of the high esteem held
for her by her neighbors and
friends, there was large gather
ing at the church to honor her
memory and take part in paying
the last tribute OF respect due tn,
bodies Of our beloved dead. In
humble faith upon the word Of
God we laid her body down in the
bosom Of Mother Earth, 10 com,
forth in the resurrection morn
transformed into glorious, honor
able, incorruptible body Of power
fitted for the spirits use.

the southwest monsoon in the beginning
of summer, and the northeast monsoon
in the winter. If these periodic rains
are late, or are insufficient in quantity,
trouble comes, aud the spring and winter
crops of wheat, barley, and pulses In the
north, and of rice and millets in the
south. begin to suffer. When the non
soons fail absolutely, there is restitution
in the affected district, and when a
persistent succession of failures and
partial failures occurs, there comes a
great and terrible famine, like that the
country is now grooming under. Since
the first great famine of which there are
records devastated the land in 1110,
when 10000 600 persisted in Bengal
alone. India has scarcely passed decade
free from scarcity of grain in one district
or another. The British government eX-
poets a drought about twice in every
nine years, a famine once in every eleven
or twelve years. and a great famine
like the present about twice in century.

giving up your young life all for your
cOuntry's sake sounds nice when the
other fellow sings it, but it can't be APP
piled to real life as it is found on the
firing line.

Mrs. G. NJ. Brownell of Burlington has
received from her husband, Capt. C. NJ.
Brownell, who is in the Philippines. a
box of silks and garments worn by the
ladies in that country. The articles are
exceedingly pretty and of delicate text
ure. With them are sent several pieces
of dress goods. Two of these are silk
woven with banana fibre. one of silk and
pineapple fibre and another of what is
termed in that country "Jusi" cloth.
The colorngs are very pretty. One of
the Interesting articles to the ladies IS q
native Filipino waist of peculiar cut and
texture. Its sleeves are very large and
the waist more like an Eton Jacket than
the waists worn in this country. The
two silk waists are also of peculiar de-
sign. One of white silk has "a sort of
cape over the shoulders heavily trimmed
with silk fringe. y Filipino skirt is also
curious. being merely a piece of cloth
sewed together at the ends like an en-
larged sack.
