(BcnScHs Plaster Is Pains Master,)

These are days of records and of the beat
ing of records. Benson's Porous Plaster, for
quickness of action and thoroughness OF
cure, has no records to beat except its own.
Benson's Plaster, always the best, always
the leader, is to-day better than eUer. It
sticks to the skin but never sticks in its
tracks. 1t marches on.
The people not only want to be cured
but cured quichly-and Benson's Plaster
does it. Coughs, colds, lumbago, asthma,
bronchitis, liver and kidney complaints,
and other ills approachable by an external
remedy, yield to Benson's as ice does to heat.
Neither Belladonna, Strengthening OF
Capsicum plasters are to be compared with
Benson's People who have once tested
the merits of Benson's Plaster have no use
for any other external remedy.
More than 5000 physicians and drug
gists (and thousand times as many nom
professional persons) have called Benson's
Plasters one of the few G home remedies
that can be trusted
Fifty-fve highest awards have been made
to it in competition with the best known
plasters of Europe and America. Better
proof of its merits is inconceivable. Be
sure to get the genuine.

The Evolution of Warships.

A man need not be a scholar to be
an inventor. One of the most success
full aeronauts of old times who had
made study of aerial currents and the
management of balloons once delivered
an address in which he referred to
1.-The anaconda" as 1.-THE largest bird
that ever few" and he also remarked
that "the mental faculties Of a mans
mind IS so constructed as to bring
things down to pins point" lie also
referred to the currents of air as
stretchums, meaning strata. and yet he
was one Of the foremost balloonists Of
his time.
He was an inventor also of many
useful things and was the first man
in the country to suggest an ironclad
man-of-war with slanting sides. He
built a miniature vessel on this plan
of sheet iron, placing 1t In the water
and fired musket balls at 1t at short
range. Every ball glanced off. The
Merrimac was built on a similar plan,
and from that humble beginning the
evolution or revolution in naval archi-
lecture took its start.-Baltimore Sun.

When the cardboard is cut, each piece
is to be covered on both sides with
silk or some other pretty stuff. The
edges are turned in and overcast.
When they are all covered, the sec
lions are put together as shown in the
Illustration and sewed together by
overland stitches. The points are then
bent outward, and where the covering
material does not have figure a small
decalcomanie picture may be pasted on
each point. Many other ways of orna-
menting this basket will suggest them
selves to the maker Little worsted
balls may be hung to the points or
sequins in a fringe all around. If
layer of cotton is put between the COW
ering and the pasteboard, the appear
ance is improved.
This basket will make q pretty card
receiver. 1t can also be used as a re-
ceptacle for skeins or balls of embroid-
cry silk. In that capacity it is called
a workbasket 1t may also be utilized
to hold the family spools, needles and
thimbles when mending is being done.
Glover Leaf Basket.
"A good luck basket Is pleasant me-
mento to receive. 1t should be shaped
like clover leaf. Three pieces are
needed to shape the basket-one for
the bottom, one for the side and the
other for the handle. The clover leaf
shape may be obtained by marking on
cardboard three overlapping circles
with a small saucer as guide. When
the shape of the bottom of the basket
Is obtained, slash it half an inch deep
These indentations are to be turned up
and glued against the side pieces of
the basket. The side piece should be
two inches high and as long as the out
line of the clover leaf. Outside and
inside the basket should be covered
with some decorative material The
top and bottom are sewed together

SNe
8SSOHE scene was more beautiful far to my eve
|ESC Than if day in its pride had arrayed it;
Nt The land breeze blew mild and the -arched sky
TSTN Looked pure as the Spirit that made it
~ The murmur soft as silently gazed
On the shadowy playful notion
From the dim distant hill, till the lighthouse fire blazed
Like a star in the midst of the ocean.
No longer the Joy Of the sailor-boy's breast
Was heard in his wildly breathed numbers;
The seabird had flown to her wave-grdled nest,
The fisherman sunk to his slumbers.
One moment looked from the hills gentle slope
All hushed the pillows connection
And thought that the lighthouse looked lovely hope
That star of LIES tremuous ocean.
The time is long past and the is affair."
Yet when my head rests its pillow,
Will memory sometimes rekindle the star
That blazed on the breast of the bilow:
In life's closing hour, when the.tremblng soul flies
And death stills the hearts last emotion,
Oh, then may the seraph of Mercy arise
Like star on Eterny's ocean.

MRS STETSON

Mrs. Harriet Treadwell Stetson, wild
ow of Captain John Stetson, died Friday
morning July 49, at the home of her
daughter, Mrs. Captain William H.
Cloke, Hazelwood avenue, Railway,
with whom she had resided most of the
time during her latter years. The de-
ceased was born in New York city, and
was 80 years, seven months and 10 days
old at her death. In 1885 she went as a
missionary to the Sandwich Islands,
remaining eight years. During that
time she buried her first husband,
Charles Mcdonald, and one son, Char
les Hatfield Mcdonald named after Dr.
Charles Hatfield, of New York, the
leading minister in the city of that
day. Miss Hattie Mcdonald, a daugh-
ter still living, was also born at Homo
lulu during the missionary stay. Mrs.
Stetson was a member of the First
Presbyterian Church, an earnest Chris
tan worker up to the time of losing her
eyesight several years ago. The fun
eral was held at the residence Sunday
afternoon, Rev. F. C.. Mooney Officiat-
ing. The bearers were the four grand
sons. There were a number of beau
tiful floral tributes. The interment was
in the Railway Cemetery.
Mr.. Mcdonald the missionary hus-
band of the deceased lady, was perhaps
held in higher esteem than any other
one of the teachers in the great REIN
forcement of 1887 Captain Stetson, the
whaling captain, was also highly es-
teemed for business ability and Chris
tian Characteristic Friend.

RARE OLD AGE.

On the 2S of September, Mrs. Persis
Goodale (Thurston) Taylor arrived at
the age of eighty. She was the third,
or perhaps the fourth white child born
in the Hawaiian Islands, and is the first
one of them to have attained such adj
vanced age. The venerable lady is in
excellent health, and a constant atten-
dant on important public meetings
Several of her grandchildren are grown
up and one is married.-The Friend.
