In the death of Mrs. Maria A. GuOir

than forty years had lived with her
kind and thoughtful husband at the

sense. Yet no one enjoyed better the
society of the young, or social hour
with friends, who were ever welcomed
in 4 most cordial way. A sweet. SYM
pathetic nature strengthened by firm
Christian principle made her one whom
none knew but to love-" Fairly in life

"Wo are sIl born with an aversion

on this somewhat unusual topic by
personal Inquiries among my friends

Not one Of them did find without
which he could give no good reason.
Generally the aversion was toward
some kind Of food, but not always.
One hated the color of blue, and
nothing depressed him more than be-
ing in the company of people who
were for the most part garbed in
clothes of this hue. Another couldn't
listen to the music OF harp without
becoming irritated, while a third de-
tested lilies to such a degree that
ne couldn't remain in the room where
there was one.
None of the men who had these
aversions understood why he had
them. One man told me he couldn't
touch a drop of milk CT cream with

nothing looked quite so appetizing as
a glass of good rich cream. Often
he had tried to partake of it, out

will, of course, be urged as the rea-
son for these aversions, but in the
case Of the man who couldn't touch
milk or cream his mother and father
were both very fond of milk, and an

vanquished. The fight occurred Sun
day. After it the Novik, in a sinking

The details of the fight are not

Chitose and Tsushima caught up with

resumed and terminated early Sun
day morning. Captain Takahashi,
who is in command of the Chitose, re-
ported the engagement in a brief tele-

ment here Sunday morning. He said
he first attacked the Russian cruiser
Saturday afternoon and that on Sun
day morning he inflicted heavy dam
age upon her. The Novik nearly sank
but was beached at K0rsak0vsk.
Temporary repairs, however, render
ed the Russian cruiser seaWOrthy and
she continued to fight, until she was
beached in sinking condition.
The Tsushima was hit on the star

ready been repaired. There was no
other damage nor was there single
