Mrs. lrena P. (WiIliams) Doane
passed away at her home Saturday
November 10Th, at the age of so years,
6 months and IA days. The funeral was
held Monday November 81, Rev. Mr..
Chase from Barton Landing officiating.
She leaves daughter and two sons,
besides a large circle of relatives and
friends to mourn her loss. Through
long weeks of the most intense suffering,
her courage, patience, and kindly interest
in the welfare of others never failed.
She was loving wife and mother,
true and faithful friend, and sincere
Christian. The harmony of her life was
perfect to its close. Her voice is hushed,
her lips are closed, her arms are folded
and she is at rest; yet her memory will
continue bright.
Mrs. Nettie Burt who so kindly helped
care for Mrs. E. Doane through her last
weeks of suffering, returned to her home
in Lunenburg last Tuesday.

The Willoughby Lake House at
Wes'more was burned Tuesday, Novem-
Der ID. The house had not been occu-
pied for several weeks or since being
closed for the winter. Tuesday carpen-
t-rs were at work there laying hard
wood floors and built fire in the office
or parlor fire place. About 1890 O'Clock
in the morning smoke and flames We're
seen coming from the roof. The fire
had then gained such Roadway that it
could not be checked. In hardly more
than an hour the building was a pile of
ashes.
The hotel was built about 1880 by
Alonzo Bemis and cost, with outbnild
ings, in the neighhorhood OF $4,000
DR.. John Wheeler afterward controlled
it for time and then Gage & Thurber.
Francis Richardson bought it about
twenty-five years ago, ran it until his
death in 1891, aud since then it has
been managed by Mrs. Richardson, his
widow. 1t has been popular summer
resort. None of the smaller buildings
connected with the hotel was burned.

Earthquakes are ugly events to
think about, even though they rarely
make a call in this country, and 1t is
pleasing to know that somebody is
working out plan to prevent them.
The theory is that earthquakes are due
to violent subterranean electric storms
and that the range and force Of the
storms might be lessened by a system
of conductors that would facilitate the
movement of the more powerful cleo
lrical current and prevent violent ex-
plosions. In view Of the wonders Of
wireless telegraphy above ground this
suggestion appears reasonable.

would have saved the state during the

The Sham Rrtar Pine

The other day it was reported from
Prussia, says the Westminster Gazstte.
that though the amber industry had been
dull of late the trade in imitation amber
had been highly satisfactory. It now
ses ms, smokers will be interested to
know, that even the briar-root pipe Is
not what 1t is supposed to be. The briar
root of commerce is the root of the large
growing heath Erica arborea). Briar
in this connection is said to be corrup-
ton of 'bruyere" (hsath). The briar-
root industry has had somewhat Gu
history. First begun in the Pyre-
nees some so years ago. it travelled along
the French Riviera and the Ligurian
coast taking Corsica by the way) to the
Tuscan Maremma, and reached Calabria
in the south. By the very nature Of the
business, when a certain district has
been exhausted of all its roots, the in
dustry must come to an end there. The
Italian branch is not expected to survive
more than ten years.

horses He must not only see all that
is going on among the horses and jockeys
in front of him, but he must reason from
what he sees as to what will ensue
moment later should he snap the barrier.
Thsn he must act instantly when, &C
cording. to his vision and his estimate
OF the situation, the right time has come
TO let them go; otherwise the conditions
making it the favorable moment will
have been favorable opportunity. Once
In awhile starter will guess wrong as
TO what a certain horse is about to do.
He will have the other horses actions
sized up all right, but one horse will
wheel or do something that cannot be
anticipated Experience is one of the
great factors of successful starting. A
man learns what Is likely to happen
again by what he has seen take place.
Then many horses have peculiarities
which q starter learns, which is why
the starting is often poorer the first few
days OF meeting than it is later on. The
jockeys, however, are the main factors
in flag welding. If starter can obtain
obedience from the boys the rest OF his
work is made easy by comparison Pa
thence also enters largely into the Ques-
ton, as starter without that quality
soon iooses the respect of the boys riding
at meeting, and unless they respect
him, he will not get good results. There
must be also firmness in seeing that his
orders are carried out, but firmness
should not be mistaken for tyranny.
Much depends also on the starters as
sistants, a most important adjunct OF
success. With good assistant to help
him, starter can be made; on the other
hand, with bad one, he is liable to be
unmade. The starter should show no
favors; all horses should look alike to
him. whether horse is of stake quality
or common skate, whether he belongs
to millionaire or poor owner, wheth-
er he is an Odds-on fayorite or the long
est shot in the race, whether he belongs
to friend or stranger. He should only
appear as a mere racing machine, and
be given only equal chances with the
others.

Mephistopheles effect is very striking;
indeed, the whole costume Is worthy Of
note.
Anyone who possesses real jet should
make use of it. 1 have seen many jet

On heavy cream guipure.
There is always a revival of black
and white frocks at this time of year
view to the approach of Lent, the all
black frock, and the usual variety of
grays and mauves will shortly make
their appearance.
For evening wear it appears to me
thatsthe' majority of brightcolors, with
the exception OF that exquisite rose du
Barry. are giving place to more sombre
tones.
'"The blush slate gray which we Paris
fans often affect is not very becoming,
though it Is sometimes smart, especially
when relieved with black.
Cloths bearing large black velvet
macarons are still used, while many Of
the blouse bodices are cut with little
tabs forming a very short basque. The
sleeveless bolero finds favor on many
occasions, and there is furore for the
accordion-plaited blouse.
Among the dainty accessories of the
toilette we give foremost place to
hand embroidered muslin cravats and
to the real lace jabot. 1t is difficulty to
get really chic neckgear. but the cravat
and the jabot, when Of the best. are
quite delightful.
