friends.
Nearly sixty years ago Mr.. Peters es'sb-
ished - home on what was part OF the
original Peters homestead and, living smear
to Natures hsart", he, like the model
farmer be was, gave his attention to the
cultivation oil his farm and the culture OF
fruit. But through all the years, he also
was interested in educational matters, be-
ing member oil the ooard Oh trustees OF
Bluehill academy. He was fond OF read
ing and always was well informed on the
current topics OF the times Even TO the
his correspondence with the absent mem
bers of his family until few weeks before
his death.
Upright, honorable, respected by all, his
influence was always for those things
which make for peacen. Quiet and I'M
assuming in his ways, he had vein OF
humor, and well-stored mind which

his presence welcome, whether one met
him at home or abroad. AS one person
we'll remarked, "He was a gentleman OF
the old school" thoughtful OF others
needs, he performed innumerabie deeds OF
charity silently and unobtrusiyeiy.
He remembered the little courtesies OF
life, the gift which make up the poetry OF
every day existence-it might be bunch
OF flowers, cooling draught, picture 1t
might be special occasion like Christmas
which gave him opportunity to select and
send dainty and hitting gifts to friends,
young aud old.
MIR. Pc ers was married first to Maria ID.
Nescott, OF Castine, who died leaving two
children to bis care. George, promising
boy, had died some years before. His
second wife, was Sarah Wescott, sister to
his first wife who filled mothers place to
the chlldr,n. She died eight years ago,
since which time his sister, Augusta, has
faithfully cared for him and his home in
terests.

EMBELLISHMENTS.
Barnum,S
Monkeys

All well-all happy-lots
of fun. That is the regular
report from the monkey cage
of Barnum's Circus ever since
the keepers began dosing the
monkeys with SCOTS Emul-
sion. Consumption was carry
ing off two thirds of them
every year and the circus had
to buy new ones.
One day a keeper accident
ally broke a bottle of SCOTS
Emulsion near the monkey
cage and the monkeys eagerly
Tapped it up from the floor.
This suggested the idea that it
might do them good. Since
then the monkeys have received
regular doses and the keepers
report very few deaths from
consumption. OF course its
cheaper to buy SCOTS Emul-
sion than new monkeys and
that suits the circus men.
Consumption in monkeys
and in man is the same disease.
