This seems to have been a pretty
good year for weeds, Notwithstanding
the excessive heat as a deterrent agen.
cy to the growth of vegetation. They
must have had a thriving time, judy
ing from the present thrift, while veg
citation Of utility has perished or has
had hard time to survive. Does
that principle Of the evolutionist,
"the survival Of the fittest," apply to
vegetation? 1t would rather seem to
be reversed in this case. The mean
est weeds, the most worthless the
noxious, are most persistentin tenure
Of existence. There are many Of
these weeds that are under the ban of
the law still extant and thrifty about
the highways and back yards and there
are many others that are unsightly
and "cumberers Of the ground" all
about. Rag weed, introduced into
this neighborhood about fifteen years
ago, is gaining ground-too much
ground. The sand burr is another
very annoying species OF vegetation
that is becoming very common on
sandy soils, and the "stick tight" will
soon make itself manifest In its
double spear-shaped seeds.

up In a Balloon"

The balloon ascension last Saturday
afternoon was success from the
managers standpoint and an attract
i've and fine spectacle from the public
view point. A great crowd Of people
witnessed the venture, a large num-
Der Of country folk coming to town
on the occasion. The weather was
perfect. The sky was cloudless and
there was just breeze enough to make
it pleasant and comfortable and TO
carry the balloon along gently as it
rose from the ground. The imitation
was completed about four o'clock and
as the guys released the monster that
had chafed with a motion Of impa-
thence at the retention, swaying from
side TO side, it rose rapidly into the
upper air and sailed off grandly to the
westward. When it picked itself up
from the ground and scared upward
with rapid and steady motion Pro-
fessor Mars carelessly caught hold Of
the trapeze and went gaily along,
dangling in mid-air below the para
chute which was closed and attached
to the bottom of the balloon. AS the
Professor rose he twirled himself over
the trapeZe, heels over head and head
over heels, to the merriment of small
boys who are readily stirred to en-
thusiasm over show with circus fea-
lures.
As the balloon assembled and reced-
ed away toward the declining sun it
grew smaller to the spectators and
Mars became gradually less conspicu-
Gus as the cynosure of vision until his
presence was little CLINT in the sky,
a star of the fourth magnitude as seen
through the big end Of telescope.
While whirllng on his precarious axis
in mid-air, several thousand feet
above the ground his cap dropped
from his head and descended slowly,
revolving as it fell, a silver sheen
glinting in the sunlight. AS soon as
the air in the balloon began to cool it
ceased to rise and in a few minutes
commenced to descend. This was a
signal for Mars to go it alone. De-
taching the parachute from the bal
loon lie descended with rapid impe-
tus until the unfolding parachute
struck its outstretched wings against
the volume OF air, when the descent
was made with moderate speed and
safety until Mars was in cloYer-light-
ing pretty hard in g. w. Farnsworth's
clover field, mile or move from the
starting point. The Professor found
the flying was all right but the light
ing was little troublesome. He
struck the ground on a slight rise and
the momentum gave him tumble
and lame neck. When the balloon
began to descend it fell with increas-
ing rapidity-much more rapidly than
Mars and his parachute. In descend
ing the balloon reversed ends, with
the escape of great cloud of smoke,
after which it totally collapsed and
fell with slap in the Hudson Pro
duce Company's potato patch.
The performance was satisfactory
to all concerned, barring the slight
discomfort Of the conjun "tion Of Mars
with the earth in the clover. The
Professor goes to Ellsworth where he
makes an ascension Saturday after
noon as prelude, an interlude, or a
finale-as the case may be-to a ball
game.

REV MR. HOYT'S CALLS.
ACCEPTS A CALL TO ST PETERSBUR


ACCEPTS A CALL TO ST PETERSBURG,
Rev J. P. Hoyt, whose engagement
to supply the Congregational church
ends this month, has had under con-
sideration for some time two unani-
nous calls, one to the pastOrate of
the Congregational church in St Peters
burg, Fla, on the West Coast, many
Presbyterians uniting and co-opera-
ting. Mr. Hoyt is very appreciative of
the kindness shown him in Melbourne
and greatly interested in the place
and people, but the call to St Peters
burg is SO urgent and the educational
advantages for his children so superb
or that lie feels it his duty to go there.
He now expects to close his temper
airy passionate here soon after the close
of the Chautauqua, probably on the
fourth Sabbath in March, and 20 with
his daughter to st Petersburg 50 as to
begin his work there April l. His
family will join him there. St Peters
purg is finely situated and rapidly
growing, and is recognized as the most
tiourishing and promising of the young
cities of Floida, with an unexcelled
climate and front protection. MI
HOyt will find no firmer and warmer
friends there than he leaves behind
him here in Melbourne. Mr. Hoyt has
had two pastorates at the north of 10
and 16 years and comes south on &C
count Of his daughters health. His
oldest son is partner in the well known
firm of Martin & Hoyt, Publishers, of
Atlanta, Ga. The department. Of BIZ
blical Exposition and study at "The
Chautauqua' is conducted by Rev Mr.
Hoyt. There are to be nine lectures by
him in the course. Mr. Hoyt's friends,
who appreciate his efforts to promote
Christian union and fellowship in all
practicable ways will be glad to learn
that Presbyterians and others will CO.
operate with him in his St Petersburg
pastorate, thus making it an attrac-
tive and promising field of usefulness.

church has been able to give in one
year s167. A, and what it has raised for
all purposes $2,OOO.2S. The present
pastorate of Rev Otis w. Barker be-
gan September 10, 1898; October "a of
that year Mr. Barker was ordained to
work of the ministry, and October 80.
1894 he was installed by the Fairfield
East Consolation as pastor over the
Newtown church. The pastor and
his people have large cause for mutual
congratulation in the happy relations
which have always existed between
them and the earnest of conservation
that has characterized their work.
Thanking God for the past, let them
take courage for the coming days.

IN MEMORIAM.
CHARLES DU BOIS.

Charles Du Bots, widely known
throughout the United States in con-
nection with river and harbor improve
ments, in which he has been an i'm
pOrtant contractor, died at the home
of his son, 482 Quincy street, Brooklyn,
N. Y, on Sunday, February II, after
long illness, which finally developed
into heart trouble. Mr. Du Bots was
born in Closter, N. j., of Huguenot
parentage, April Is, 1887. Soon after
his marriage he bought farm on the
Hudson near Katskill, where he re-
NAMED for dozen years or more. In
the spring of 1866 he returned to New
York to engage in the dock and dredg-
ing business with his father, Henry
Du Bots, and Company. He was very
competent and successful business
manager and was soon at the head of
the firm. Later he allied himself with
the Morris & Cummings Dredging Co.,
whose success was largely due to his
efforts. He was later connected with
the Pratt Manufacturing Co. and had
charge of the dredging plant. Also for
number of years he was vice president
and director of the Dredge Owners
Association. At the time Of his death
Mr. Du Bots was president and treas
urer of the Henry Du Bots Co., which
by a daughter, Mrs w. A. Miles, of
Mt Vernon, N. Y, and son, Edwin
W. Du Bots, who has been associated
with him in business for II years and
is now at the head of the concern.
Since the death of his wife, which oc-
CURED August 81, 1899, Mr. Du Bots has
been losing his relish for business and
gradually failing in health. "Heaven s
attractions grew stronger and earth IS
fieeting interests grew less" He was
a member of the Methodist church,
noble hearted, generous and kind to
the poor. Their friends at Sandy
Hook, Mrs Bennett at Mapleton, also
DR. Belts and family, will greatly miss
these dear loved friends, where visits
from time to time have been exchanged
10! these many, many years. The funeral
services were conducted by his former
pastor, Rev w. w. Bowdish, on the
evening of February 10, and on the goth
his body was laid away in beautiful
Greenwood, his grave robed in flowers,
to await the morning of the Resurrec-
tion.

affected. Father Smith is greatly be-
loved by ST Roses people, and by his
superior in the ministry here, Father
Fox, and the Catholic people naturally
regret the necessity of financial cur
tailment, which causes the change.
Father Smith has many warm friends
and admirers among the Professionals,
who regret that he is to leave town,
and wish him success wherever he may
60.
Father Smith was born in New Ha-
ven in 1868, the son of Bernard Smith,
who now resides in the Elm City. He
attended the New Haven public
schools and Mr. Giles select school.
He took up his theological studies at
St Charles college, Ellicott City, Nd,
and later at st Bonaventure's SEM
mary, Allegany, N. Y. He was Or
dained at the hands of Bishop Ryan.
He was first appointed assistant at
Bristol, where he remained two years,
and then served as assistant at st
Mary's in Bridgeport, and St Mary s.,
East Hartford, being appointed as
assistant at ST Rose church on March
9, 1895. BY coincidence his letter Of
transfer was received on March 9, just
six years later to day.
The relations between Father Fox
and his assistant have been very har-
monious and agreeable and Father
Smith regrets leaving the pleasant
associations here.

Our WORKING
Girls.

Life to the most favored is not always
full of sunshine, but to the average
American girl or woman who is obliged
to work for her living, and, perhaps
to help others at home, life is often a
heavy drag in consequence of illness.
Women who work, especially those
who are constantly on their feet, are
peculiarly liable to the development
of organic troubles, and should par
ticularly heed the first manifestations,
such as backache, pains in the lower
limbs and lower part of the stomach,
irregular and painful monthly periods,
