John A Kelley. Esq, Mrs Ann j
Goibold passed peacefully away.
She had been extremely i'll for sew
eral weeks and albeit for some time

medical skill and tender solicitude
was done to prolong her life and to
eslse the pain of her. last days.
Mrs Godbold was IS years old,

The Japanese winter is most trying
on account Of its continual dampncsS,
but the Japanese are content 20 remain
cold. They make almost no effort tc
overcome 1t. The old "bushido" (chiv.
a!rous) idea Of the "samurai" (knights)
was that 1t was efreminatc to feel cold.
and such Is their severe training that
they do not really feel 1t rs we do. The
wearing OF some extra "kimonos' and
the use Of "hibachi" or braZier In
which are few tiny sticks Of lighted
charcoal are the only concessions to
winter weather. With the "hibachi''
they never pretend to heat more than
their finger tips. which they hold over
