 late William H. Green of Danbury.

 age was 62 years. Mrs Fairchild'S huS-
 band and two children survive her,
 Arthur D. Fairchild of this town and
 Mrs Ernest Wilson of New Haven.
 Mrs Fairchild was member of the of Jephthah chapter, o. B. S., where she held the office of warder. The funeral service was largely attended from her late home in Taunton district
 Wednesday afternoon. Rev Henry L.. Slack impressively conducted the service. He spoke beautifully of the lessons emphasized in the life of the deceased, that of ministration to others and of loving service. The hymns, ''Asleep in Jesus" and "Near- CT My God to Thee," were sung as duets. There were number of beau tiful floral tributes, including a floral star from the members of Jephthah chapter, O. B. s. The pail bearers
 were Andrew 0. Moore, George R. Will son, Robert D. Smith and Ferris

Why Is Snow White 2

Because in the wise dispensation ol
Providence it is the color adapted fol
the purposes intended to promote the
assurance that the Allwise Father
"doeth all things WE'LL"
Snow is white to withstand the suns
rays. Black snow would be danger.
Gus; so would red or yellow. These
are "warming-up colors," and they
change the suns rays to heat. Such
snow would soon melt again and prove
a very poor protection. But white
snow throws back the sunlight in just
the form in which it receives it, and
thus the snow can be long upon the
ground. Throw dirt OH the snow, and
its dark color quickly makes it eat its
way in whenever the sun shines on it.
After snowstorm, once let the horses
feet mingle the dirt of the road with
the snow, and sleighing will soon be
over.
Nature secures another advantage
by changing the water into snow. All
through the winter, while the plant
world has not sufficient sunlight and
warmth to grow, she collects the wa.
ter, not needed by the plants, on the
high regions, and holds it back; not
in dams and lakes that might break
and flood the valleys. and which in
any event could only water the low
lands; but on every height she gathers
store OF water that will not flow
away and needs no damming, but
which is ready, when the first warm
sunshiny days Of spring come, to allow
its life-giving streams to find their
way gently down the hills to the val
leys below, and to ooze slowly through
the ground to the plants that are al
preparing at that time for their grand
onward rush into beauty and bloom.

ARE NO TRAMPS IN GERMANY

To-day the lot of the labdring man
in Germany is in many respects better
than that OF ours. The German state
recognizes the right of every man to
live-we do not. When the German
laborer becomes old or feeble the state
pensions him honorably. In Germany
the laboring man can ride on the elec-
trio cars for 2 cents-we pay 5. Ger.
man cities have public baths, public
laundry establishments, big parks, free
concerts and many other features
which soften poverty-although they
do not remove it.
The corollary to this is that the
Emperor permits no tramps to terror.
ize his highways. The police are or
ganized for rural patrol as we'll as city
work, and every loafer is stopped and
made to give an account Of himself.
In England vagrancy has been pub
lie nuisance for generations-with us
it has become OF late years almost a
public danger. Germany has no
tramps. The man who is without
work in Germany finds no inducement
to remain idle. A paternal govern
ment sets him TO such hard work that
the would-be unemployed finds it de-
cidedly to his interest to seek some
other employment as soon as possible

One OF DIR. CUPlD'S PRESCRIPTIONS.

That Love sometimes cures disease is a
fact that has recently been called to the
attention of the public by prominent
physician and college professor. In some
nervous diseases of women, such as hys-
terra, this physician gives instances where
women were put in pleasant frame OF
mind, were made happy by falling in love,
and in consequence were cured of their
nervous troubles-the weak, nervous syS-
tenn toned and stimulated by little DR..
Cupid became strong and vigorous al
most without their knowledge. Many a
woman is nervous and irritable, feels drag
ged down and worn out. for no reason that
she can think Of She may be ever so
much in love, but DR.. Cupid fails TO cure
her. In ninety nine per cent. of these
cases it is the womanly organism which
requires attention: the weak back, dizzy
spells and black circles about the eyes, are
only symptoms. Go to the source of the
trouble and correct the irregularities, the
drains on the wonanly system and the
other symptoms disappear So sure of it
is the Worlds Dispensary Medical Associa-
ton, proprietors of DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription, that they offer $500 reward
for women who cannot be cured of leucor-
rhea, female weakness, prolapsus, or fall
ing of the womb All they ask is fair
and reasonable trial of their means of cure.
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets clear the
complexion and sweeten the breath, they
cleanse and regulate the stomach, liver and
bowels and produce permanent benefit and
do not react on the system. One is
gentle laxative.

Hot Weather Health Hints.

The fat man who hustles all day
eats three heavy meals, in which meat
plays the star role, and drinks enor
nous quantities of ice-cold water, var
led by alcoholic stuff, invites death.
Food has only two uses in the hu
man system; to repair the waste Of
muscular effort and to keep the body
warm. In hot weather the body needs
no fuel. If q man does no muscular
work he needs little food. and that o.
the lightest description.
Fruit is the best basis OF q hot
weather diet. Don't be afraid of wa
melon. 1t is pure water distilled by
Nature herself and favored to taste
without drugs. Cool watermelon is
health preservative, especially valuable
in cases of summer complaint.
Clothing is less important than food
but there is no reason why men shoul1
wear stiff shirts and thick clothing il
summer. New York has at its wors'
a tropical climate. In the tropic
men wear the thinnest suits OF Whit
and cover their heads with pith hel
NETS.
It does not pay to run to catcf
street cars when dressed for work
Yet summer is favorable for ever
heavy exercise when one is dressed TO-
il and able to bathe properly afterwart
and don dry clothing. Probably the
general health of the community i
better in summer than in winter, II
spite of frequent " hot SPELLS"
