Obituary.,

Mrs. Mary Kinsella, who died at the
home of her son-in-law, Thos. Lynch,
at Ashley, June IA, 1904, was born in
County Carlow. Ireland, March 20,
1921; in June, 1888, she was married
to John Kinsella, and came with her
husband to Renfrew, Canada, in May,
1917. Mr.. Kinsella died in March,
1866, and in November, 1869, Mrs.
Kinsella moved to Red Wing, Mimi,
where she resided until November,
1884, when she came to Sank Centre,
and has since then lived in Ashley.
The funeral services were held at
the church of Our Lady of the Angels,
Rev. FIR. O'Connor officiating.
The deceased was lady who pos
sessed every womanly virtue, and was
beloved by large circle of friends,
who. were only limited by the extent
of her acquaintance. In her home
she was the model of perfection, in the
true sense of the word She was de-
vout member of the Catholic church,
her whole life being one of charity,
meekness and love. Her voice was
never raised in anger or dispraise.
She always tried to blot out the bad
traits of any she came in contact with
and was always ready to Tighten a
heavy word. Her sole aim, was to
serve and please her Maker and to
teach the young likewise. She was
never too busy to spend part of every
day in prayer and reading some re-
ligious work. Her children seemed
almost to worship her and her council
was sought on all matters pertaining
to their welfare. She enjoyed un-
usually good health for one of her
years, with the exception of few days
previos to her death. She could
never be unoccupied, and sewed and
knit as late as last winter. 1t could
justly be said: 1.-The world was better
for her h aving lived in it."
She leaves behind many sorrowing
friends, besides nine children:
Stephen, Robert, Mrs. R. Costello,
Thos. P, P. W., James H., j. F.,
Martin and Mrs. Thomas Lynch, all
living in Ashley, with the exception
of Mrs. R. Costello, of this city, and
J. F. Kinsella, of Tioga, N. D.

Pear Blight In Idaho.

Reports from Idaho indicate that
the pear blight is making great in.
roads in that state. So great have
the ravages been that some of the
pear orchardists are thinking of Civ.
ing up the attempts to raise pears.
The only remedy practiced there is
that of cutting back below the point
of infection, painting the wounds made
by the cutting, that infection may be
prevented.

During the winter, when the pigs

A. Henry, referring to this tendency
In his book on Feeds and Feeding"
says:
Every stockman who has kept pigs
in confinement has observed their
strange craving for seemingly unnat-
ural substances-sand, rock. soft brick,
mortar, rotten wood, charcoal, soft
coal, ashes, soapsuds and many other
articles being greedily devoured when
offered. Such objects lie outside the
range of nutritive substances, and
We are puzzled to know why they
should be SO eagerly consumed. In the
wild state the hog ranges through the
woods and open tracts, living upon
small animals, larvae and vegetation

to prevent roofing while in the pas
ture, confined on board floors during
the fattening period and given feeds
containing little ash, the pigs life is
passed under unnatural conditions.
Another cause for this craving may
be the intestinal worms, which are
checked or destroyed by some OF the
substances consumed. Unsatisfactory
or incomplete as such explanations
may be, the fact remains that the
pig seeks out these unnatural Sub

SMALLPOX,

The first and most important consid-
GRAFTON in times of smallpox epidemic
is to allay the fear which is apt to rise
in the public mind; the next is to point
out how the danger may be at least
greatly reduced; then to teach how the
disease may be mitigated when it deyel-
ops. There are several points In the
character Of the disease which cast con-
siderable light on the way of dealing
with 1t. One of these points Is its capa-
bility of being produced by what Is
called incubation. BY incubation is
meant, if a small part of the skin is
rubbed off, and the pus from the small
pox pustule is introduced into the abra-
sion, the disease will appear and spread
all over the body. There are exceptional
cases, in which the state of the skin, or
of nerve, or blood, or all together, is such
that the disease cannot be commune
Gated even in this way; but such cases
are certainly not the rule. The truth
That this disease is communicable by
being introduced in the above described
manner to the inner skin, is beyond all
rational doubt. AS l said before, that
Is one point of great Importance.
Another feature is that the disease
tells most upon, first, those of filthy
habits; second, tender people, such as
children and grown-up ptople whose
outer skin Is thin. This Is another point
Of Importance. These persons are more
or less easily inoculated, so to speak, in
whatever way the virus OF the disease
may reach the surface of their body.
Their outer skin is very little protec-
ton against such diseases as this.
The preventive treatment previously
described will contribute very decidedly
to the general health Of those who en-
ploy 1t. 1t will never do an injury, but
very much the contrary in all cases.
Now, let us examine a case of real
smallpox when 1t first enters the fever
stage. The pulse is quickened, the skin
Is heated and probably cry. First OF all,
let US understand as nearly as possible
what Is really going ON. That sub
stance which Is the seed of smallpox
has begun to irritate the organic nerve
centers of the whole body, and these are
throwing uLt heat in an unusual degree.
This is Lct consuming the substance
which is causing all the trouble, but is
propagating it in a NEST wonderful man
ner. From an ininitesimal portion.
which has somehow secured entrance
into the system, there is soon formed
as much as would inoculate millions
OF people. and for a time this increase
goes on more and more rapidly. !
